Description

Taxi meter with keypad input unit {Taximeter Having Keypad Input Part}

(Technology)

The present invention relates to a taxi meter, and more particularly, as a means for inputting various function executions related to the use of a taxi meter, in addition to the tarip setting button, various function executions can be input more conveniently in place of the tarip setting button. It relates to a taxi meter having a keypad input unit.

(Background)

Taxi meters, which measure the mileage and time, calculate and display fares, are not only basic car fare management systems, but also vehicle driving records (ie, tachometer) and receipt output. It is developed to have various additional functions.

Figure 4 is an external perspective view of a conventional general taxi meter, Figure 5 is a block diagram of a conventional taxi meter.

As shown in the figure, the conventional taxi meter 100 is, for example, in the appearance of a rectangular parallelepiped main body 110, other inputs such as empty car, running, surcharge, payment, compound, cumulative, etc. (tariff) The leaf setting buttons 120, the tarip display window 130 and the printer 140 is attached to the cover 141 that can be opened and closed to mount the printing paper therein.

Internally, the conventional taxi meter 100 includes a distance pulse signal generator 102 for providing a mileage signal of the vehicle required for the fare calculation centering on the microprocessor 101 that controls the overall function. The tariff input unit 103 corresponding to the tariff setting button 120, the tariff display unit 104 corresponding to the tariff display window 130, the memory 105 in which associated programs or data are stored, and the printer 140. And a printing unit 106 corresponding to the above, and a speed detecting unit 107 for detecting the vehicle speed and generating speed data.

In order to execute various functions such as a function related to the vehicle fare management system, a function related to the vehicle driving record, and a receipt output function in the conventional taxi meter 100 as described above, the microprocessor 101 is provided through the tarip input unit 103. The tarip setting buttons 120 are operated to execute the corresponding function.

However, the conventional taxi meter 100 is provided with an input means for executing a function related to a vehicle driving record and a receipt output function. Since the tariff setting button 120 including a premium, payment, compound, cumulative buttons, etc. is used in combination, it is very complicated and inconvenient to execute these functions in the taxi meter 100 itself.

For example, the taxi meter is prescribed to record the speed data at a predetermined interval (for example, an interval of less than one minute) for a predetermined period (for example, three days). 100) executes printing by pressing the tariff setting buttons 120 in order according to the order set by the manual, and inputting the necessary commands. However, this method is complicated and difficult to operate without referring to the manual. We had to push button over.

Specifically, in the case of printing speed data with the conventional taxi meter 100, for example, by pressing the "vacant vehicle" button among the tariff setting buttons specified by manual and pressing the "accumulation" button repeatedly, the total mileage is displayed. By pressing the "Pay" button at the same time while pressing the "Vacancy" button again in the state, the process of switching to the function number input mode with a buzzer sound It will flash and lead you to specify the required number); Press the "Run" button so that the number of the unit to be changed is blinking, and press the "Pay" button to change the number of the unit to be flashed, adjust the number corresponding to the speed data printing function (eg 09) and press the "Vacancy" button. Switching to an input mode of speed data output date (day) / time (hour) / output time (hour) together with a buzzer sound; Displaying "DD.HH.OO" on the display and flashing "D" on the left side, pressing the "Run" button so that the number of the unit to change is blinking and pressing the "Pay" button to change the number of the blinking unit; After changing the number of days (dates), time (hours) and output time (hours) to output the speed, press the "Vacancy" button to complete the input of the time zone to output the speed data. Hour through 12 o'clock are printed); After that, the speed data of the desired time zone is printed.

As described above, the conventional taxi meter 100 is so complicated that the operation is almost impossible without a manual operation when executing various functions such as printing speed data, and the number of buttons to be pressed until one operation is completed is very large. It was uncomfortable.

In order to alleviate the inconvenience of executing the function using the tariff setting button 120, a remote controller has been developed that can input and operate some functions of the taxi meter without using the tariff setting button 120. It is used.

6 is an external perspective view of a conventional remote control for a taxi meter.

As shown, the taxi meter remote control 200 is a remote control including a number button 210 of 0-9 and function buttons 220 such as receipt, speed, precision, input, cancellation and function, receipt Printing, speed data printing, precision speed data printing, telephone number input, clock input, date input, car number input, deceleration rate input, etc., without using the tariff setting button 120 There is this.

Using such a remote control 200, there is an advantage that can execute the necessary functions only with a simple operation of the number button 210 and the function button 220 without the complexity of using the tariff setting button 120.

However, the conventional method of using a remote controller not only has to purchase a remote controller of considerable cost, and since the remote controller 200 exists separately from the taxi meter 100, it is difficult to manage without loss.

An object of the present invention is to solve the inconvenience of operation and the cost and management problems of additionally using the remote control by operating the various functions of the taxi meter using only the tariff setting button as described above. .
