Description

Automatic payment method using the high-pass system and the high-pass system of a vehicle energy charging station with a touchless car}

The present invention relates to a high-pass system for automatic payment at a vehicle energy charging station equipped with a touchless car wash and an automatic payment method using the high-pass system.

Previously, the method of collecting highway tolls was to use cash or prepaid cards at highway entrance and exit toll gates. However, this conventional method required a process of directly depositing cash at a toll booth and returning change, or directly deducting a prepaid card, so it took a lot of time and had the problem of causing highway congestion. In addition, there was a problem of high labor costs due to the need for manpower to collect toll fees. As a way to solve this problem, an electronic toll collection system (ETCS: Electronic Toll Collection System) called Hi-Pass has recently been operated at some highway toll gates. High Pass is an electronic toll collection system that uses wireless or infrared communication to pay tolls in a running car. Vehicles equipped with a Hi-Pass terminal (hereinafter referred to as “Hi-Pass terminal”) into which a card is inserted This is a system that collects tolls by exchanging information through wireless or infrared communication between the toll booth antenna and the Hi-Pass terminal when entering the toll booth.

Because of the convenience of this high-pass payment method, there was interest in applying it to other areas such as gas stations. However, in the case of the Hi-Pass system applied on the road, there is a simplicity in which payment is made using only the vehicle class information pre-assigned to the Hi-Pass terminal and the card information combined with the Hi-Pass terminal. However, in the case of gas stations, more information is required, such as specific identification information of the vehicle, type of refueling, and amount of refueling, and since this information is transmitted and received through the communication network of the gas station, which is a private institution rather than a public institution, there is a risk of personal information theft. There are concerns that this may lead to a more advanced data supplementation process being required in order to apply the Hi-Pass system to gas stations. In addition, gas stations are generally equipped with car washes, and users who use gas stations have a desire to pay for car washing in addition to refueling at the same time and conveniently, so a more sophisticated process is required to apply the high-pass system to these spaces.
