Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system of paying for the parking in a restricted area by a car-specific parking-fee device provided with a device reading a function card or the like and with a wireless data transmission unit, and by a function card or a similar means of payment that has a secret identification number.
  • the Applicant's own Finnish Published Speci ⁇ fication 89,753 teaches a parking system where the parking meters found in the street or at the car park gate are replaced by car-specific parking-meters to which parking time is bought in advance.
  • the system is based on function or smart cards into which paid parking time can be loaded at parking-time-distribution points, such as service stations, by paying the necessary fee in advance.
  • the device described in FI 89,753 flawlessly measures and indicates the parking time charged for, the basis of -its operation is that a certain amount of parking time is bought at a certain price for a vehicle by a function card, and the device indicates the parking time still left.
  • multi-storey car parks and parking garages often owned by private companies are preferred to parking places in the street.
  • the system mentioned above is not as such the most flexible way of collecting parking fees, since varying ownership and payment systems and the local character of multi-storey car park services make it unlikely for the car parks to commit themselves to a certain system.
  • parking fees are paid at a multi-storey car park either at the cash desk or to an automatic, either in cash or, in more developed systems, by a car-park- specific disposable card which is provided with a magnetic tape and in which the starting time of the parking period is stored.
  • the object of the present invention is to apply a system based on car-specific parking-meters to the needs of multi-storey car parks or other restricted parking areas, and to provide a system of paying for the parking by a parking-fee device, with which the above problems are avoided and which also has some indisput- able advantages over the other parking-fee systems used in multi-storey car parks.
  • One embodiment of the system according to the invention is characterized in that the system comprises parking-control devices situated at the entrances and exits of a restricted area, the control devices communicating with the car-specific parking-fee device as the car enters and leaves the area, so that the starting and ending time of the parking period and thereby the fee to be paid can be determined.
  • Another embodiment of the system according to the invention is characterized in that the system com ⁇ prises parking-control devices situated at the entrances and exits of a restricted area, the control devices communicating with the car-specific parking-fee device as the car enters and leaves the area to check a secret identification number of a card inserted in the parking- fee device, and preventing the car's exit and/or giving an alarm if the numbers are not identical upon the entrance and exit.
  • the system of the invention has notable advant- ages:
  • the system of the invention for paying for the parking in a restricted area comprises a car-specific parking-fee device 1 provided with a device (not shown) reading a function card or the like and with a wireless data transmission unit 2.
  • the system also comprises a function card 3 or the like, -and control devices 4,5 at the entrances and exits of a restricted area, including barriers 6 for controlling the entrance to and exit from the car park.
  • a 'restricted area' is here a multi-storey car park, a parking garage, or any other parking area for paid parking which cannot be entered without passing the control point at the entrance gate.
  • a 'function card' is here a card from which information can be read into a parking-fee device via a card-reading device. It may be a processor card in which is stored the card holder's credit card data, or it may be an ordinary credit card or a so-called prepaid card.
  • the essential feature is that the card has a secret, personal identification number (PIN), which is in principle known only to the card holder, and without which the card cannot be used in a parking-fee device.
  • PIN personal identification number
  • the system described in the invention may allow three attempts to key the PIN in the parking-fee device, before it switches the device off e.g. for a predetermined period of time.
  • a car park is entered in such a way that the car is stopped at an entrance gate and the function card 3 is inserted in the car-specific parking-fee device 1.
  • the device then instructs the user to key in the PIN.
  • the parking- fee device forwards the number to the control centre 4 via a wireless data transmission link 2,5.
  • the gate 6 is then opened, and the car can be driven into the car park and parked normally. No other measures are required at this stage.
  • Both the parking-fee device 1 and the control centre 4 start timing as the gate opens. The timing and/or its starting time can be shown on the display 7 of the parking-fee device. This is not, how ⁇ ever, necessary with respect to the invention.
  • the car In leaving the car park, the car is driven in front of a barrier on the exit route.
  • the function card is inserted in the parking-fee device, which again asks for the PIN.
  • the timing stops, and the parking time and fee are shown on the display 7 of the parking-fee device.
  • the timing system of the parking-fee device makes it possible for the driver to check the parking duration.
  • the fee has been accepted, e.g. by press ⁇ ing a key in the parking-fee device, the barrier is lifted and the control device 4 automatically charges the fee to the card holder's credit card account.
  • the car park control device 4 communicates with the parking-fee device 1 only when the function card 3 is inserted in the parking-fee device. This is to make it sure that the secret identification number of the card is always keyed in the parking-fee device before any transactions are recorded.
  • the communication between the devices can be arranged to start automatically when the function card is inserted in the parking-fee device or when the PIN has been keyed in.
  • the parking-control devices 4,5 advantageously communicate with the parking-fee device via electro ⁇ magnetic near-field recognition operating in the micro- wave area.
  • the advantages of the electromagnetic near- field recognition include good applicability of the components to integration, and insensitivity of signals to obstacles on the signal path, such as parts of the car.
  • the basics of electromagnetic near-field recogn- ition are described e.g. in the publications NL 8,800,367, US 4,940,968 and US 3,740,742.
  • Data trans ⁇ mission means operating in the microwave area are known e.g. from the publication EP 247,612.
  • the near-field recognition is thus known to those skilled in the art, and it is not described in greater detail herein.
  • the communication may naturally also be effected via an infrared link or a radio link, which as such are well- known.
  • the communication is encrypted e.g. by a so-called DES algorithm, which prevents break- ing into the system.
  • One essential feature of the system according to the invention is that it provides a way of preventing car thefts in a car park. The majority of today's car thefts take place in parking garages, and there is no effective system of preventing them.
  • the system of the invention provides a simple and effective anti-theft system.
  • the system is based on the car-specific parking-fee device shown in the figure.
  • the parking-control devices 4,5 at the entrances and exits of the car park communicate with the car-specific parking-fee device 1 in order to check the secret identification number of the card 3 inserted in the parking-fee device, and prevent exit and/or give an alarm if the numbers are not identical upon the entrance and exit.
  • theparking-control devices 4,5 at the entrances and exits of a car park communicate with the parking-fee device 1 only when the function card 3 is inserted in the parking-fee device, whereby the parking-control devices do not let the car enter or leave before the secret identification number of the card has been keyed in.
  • the system advantageously com ⁇ prises a safety module 9 arranged between the parking- fee device 1 and an electric system 8 of the car.
  • the safety module which advantageously comprises an EEPROM memory, contains a predetermined key code, which the parking-fee device checks before communicating with the parking-control device 4 and which is advantageously also forwarded to the control device.
  • the electric system 8 of the car is represented in the figure by the accumulator, but it is to be understood that a safety module and a switching means 11 described below can be connected to any voltage-carrying point in the electric system of the car.
  • a door switch 11 which requires that a function card 3 with the correct PIN should be inserted into the parking-fee device 1 before the car can be started, if the car has been parked using a parking-fee device.
  • a function card 3 with the correct PIN should be inserted into the parking-fee device 1 before the car can be started, if the car has been parked using a parking-fee device.
  • the door switch 11 may start the timer of the parking-fee device as the car door is opened, the timer switching off the parking-fee device in a predetermined time, preventing the car's exit, if a function card 3 with the correct PIN is not inserted in the parking-fee device 1 within said pre ⁇ determined time. Should this happen, the car or parking- fee device will not be re-activated until the correct function card has been inserted.
