Abstract

본 발명은 접근하는 통행 징수소(18)의 신원을 나타내는 통행료 징수소 확인 신호를 발송하는 통행료 징수소 확인 장소(18) 및 사용자에 의해 구입된 이용가능한 통행료 량을 저장하는 화폐를 갖는 자동차 내장 통행료 프로세서(IVC)를 포함하는 자동 통행료 징수 시스템에 관한 것이다. 자동차(16)가 확인 측(18)에 접근할 때, 상기 자동차 프로세서(IVC)는 확인 신호를 수신하고 지불되어야할 통행료를 계산한다. 자동차(16)가 통행료 징수소(18)를 통과할 때 상기 자동차 내장 프로세서는 신원, 네트 잔액 및 통행료를 저정하고, 그것은 계산 잔액으로부터 지불한다. 상기 자동차 내장 프로세서가 적은 잔액을 증가하도록 하고, 지불하기 위하여 중앙시스템(140)에 지연된 정보를 전송한다. 체납자 차단용 자동차 내장 소자 또는 불법자 확인용 다양한 수단이 기술된다.The present invention relates to a toll check location (18) for sending toll depot confirmation signals indicative of the identity of an approaching tolling depot (18) and an auto toll fee having a currency to store available toll amounts purchased by the user And an automatic toll collection system including a processor (IVC). When the car 16 approaches the confirming side 18, the car processor IVC receives the confirmation signal and calculates the toll to be paid. When the car 16 passes through the tollhouse 18, the car embedded processor stores the identity, net balance, and toll, which it pays from the calculated balance. The automotive embedded processor increases the low balance and sends the delayed information to the central system 140 for payment. A variety of means for identification of illegal persons or interior devices for delinquent persons are described.

Claims

A method for automatically collecting tolls from an automobile moving along a road, the method comprising: providing at least a first tollhouse to pass a car for toll collection; Providing an automobile an automotive transponder having a storage for storing available toll information indicative of the amount of money available for payment in a toll transaction at an approaching tollhouse; Loading an answering machine having electrical total traffic amount information representing a minimum available toll value; And transmitting a first tollgate identification signal from a first tollgather identification side corresponding to the first toll collection point, the vehicle answering device receiving the first toll identification signal; And storing the toll collection schedule in the vehicle answering machine in preference to the arriving vehicle at the first toll collection point, wherein the vehicle answering device is configured to transmit the toll collection schedule at the first toll collecting counter in response to the first toll- Arranged to determine a toll amount to be paid for an available amount of money; And transferring the toll balance information from the data and storage identifying the motor vehicle internal toll processor when the motor vehicle passes through the first tollhouse from the vehicle answering machine.

The method of claim 1, further comprising reducing the available toll signal value according to the toll amount to be paid.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting an acknowledgment signal to the automotive on-board processor.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: using an answering machine to compare the amount of money indicated by the available toll information with a preselected minimum amount, and using the toll amount indicated by the toll information available when the amount of money falls below the preselected minimum amount &Lt; / RTI > further comprising the step of:

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising transmitting an updated signal from an answering machine indicating the increase.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising remotely accepting separate and independent calculations for the update signal and the increased amount of currency.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the first toll identification signal in the vehicle answering machine.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: providing a second toll on a road remote from the first tollhouse; Providing a second toll collection confirmation side corresponding to the second toll collection point; Providing a second toll-station identification signal from the second toll-station confirming side; Using an automobile answering machine to accept the second toll identification signal; And overwriting the stored first toll identification signal as the second toll identification signal.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: automatically increasing the amount of toll available in the depot of the vehicle answering machine; And transmitting a signal enabling separation and independent computation for the increased amount of money.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending a list identifying an invalid car responder, responding to the list acceptance by blocking an identified car responder in the list, &Lt; / RTI >

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of forwarding from the first toll collectors comprises transmitting an encoded radio frequency signal indicative of a toll charge schedule.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the vehicle answering machine is used in an automobile having a specific toll classification, and the answering machine stores a part of the schedule applicable to the type.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting a list indicating an invalid car responder, wherein the car responder identified in the list responds to acceptance of the list by sending an illegal message, &Lt; / RTI >

A method for performing transactions between a moving vehicle and any one of a plurality of transaction stations, the method comprising the steps of: (1) providing to the moving vehicle an automotive interior device comprising a signal receiver, a memory means, a processor device, ; (2) providing each of said transaction stations to said transmitter apparatus and causing said transmitter apparatus to repeatedly transmit a signal identifying said transaction station; Storing quantitative information associated with each transaction station and quantitative information associated with the automotive interior device in the memory means; In response to receipt of an acknowledgment signal from a particular one of the transaction stations, the automotive interior device obtaining quantitative information associated with a particular station from the memory and providing the information to the processor device; Obtaining quantitative information associated with the current state of the vehicle interior device from the memory means and providing information to the processor device; Causing the processor apparatus to process the two sets of quantitative information according to a transaction rule; Causing the vehicle built-in transmitter to transmit a vehicle signal indicative of a result of a transaction with identification of the vehicle interior device; Providing a transaction station receiving device for receiving the device signal indicative of a result of the transaction, wherein the transaction station receiver is configured to maintain a financial record associated with an individual < RTI ID = 0.0 > &Lt; / RTI >
