Definitions
- Present document refers to a new device meant basically to control time in a cumulative way in parking systems , witch time is controlled .
- Being the said device attached to one of the windows of the car, preferably the windshield , in a way that the lecture is specially facilitated in dark sites and eliminating the reflexes due to proximity utilizing for such , a magnetic ad hesive set.
- Mig ht be employed in other activities in which time control is necessary, either in an add itive form or not. It may have an aud ible or visual alarm to advice that the specific time is transposed .
- the device is made of a plastic box preferably in molded plastic with the dimensions of approximately 4 x 2 x Vi inches and it shall provide thermal and shock protection as well as support for attachment, with a
- LC D liquid crystal display
- the device has a su rface for printing of, for instance, brand , model, factory, serial number, ads or other information , staying in a visible local and easily identifiable, marked in a undeletable form , having the information necessary for the use of the system , as, a priori , the identification of the vehicle or vehicles, city of origin and or others.
- Consists in a portable device disposable meant to adjust to time of permanency of vehicles in the vacant lots offered by the systems ruled parking lots in a manner to offer the users/drivers and entities and people responsible for its operation, a better economy of the system.
- the referred device becomes more vulnerable and h ig h priced , even though it is mentioned in its text that the said device is economically viable, "thanks to its low production cost and due to its simple construction" (?).
- the present device was projected in a man ner to create a new concept in controlling time in parking lots and similar using the last generation technology.
- the drawing number 1 presents a perspective view of the preferred conception of the present device, ready to use.
- the drawing number 2 represents a d iag ram view in of the present device.
- the drawing number 3 represents a view of the diagram in time.
- the d igital device for controlling parking lots illustrated in d rawing number 1 consists of a molded box in plastic, with a LC D ( 1 ) , automatic key (2) for starting of operation , key (4) for verifying time left, LED (6) ind icator of working cond ition , magnetic element (8) for fixing and an area (9) designated to receive inscriptions.
- I n the diagram view, illustrated in drawing number 2 , it is shown the d isplay ( 1 ) having an LCD panel with capacity of 3 and A or 4 digits and compatible dimensions and adequate to the specific use, working in a large range of temperature and humidity, with the function of showing the information generated by the microprocessor (3) and ind icating the correct working of the device, a block (2) with a key for beginning , electrically con nected to the block (3) of the microprocessor and physically connected to the box, in a man ner to provide the beginning of the working of the program stored when the device is attached to the windshield , for instance.
- the block (4) for the auxiliary key is also composed of a m icro-switch electrically connected to the block (3) of the microprocessor and physically to the case in a man ner to provide the execution of the auxiliary part of the prog ram stored .
- This key has independent working and complements that of the key (2) for starting .
- the microprocessor block (3) or CPU is composed basically of integ rated circuits, programmed only once by means of electrical recording or printing while it is being manufactured , said block of low power consumption and low current drain , having a controller, memory and elements for i nterface to keys, LED's and display. I n its memory is stored the main program , the secondary one and the total time to be used by the device.
- the processor executes the program stored in itself and it is responsible for the generation of the time base and wave forms for the driver block (5) or directly to the display (1) and LED (6).
- the driver block (5) is composed of IC's
- the power source block (7) is composed by a battery with sufficient power to feed the circuit during all the time of use and storing the device, with some reserve, being connected to the system without interruption.
- the second key (4) has the purpose of, when pressed, to show the amount of time left in the system for a few seconds and other functions, separately or altogether with that of the first one, as testing the LED and display, for instance.
- the memory will be destroyed by the microprocessor avoiding any unauthorized reprogramming or reusing of the device.
- the drawing number 3 illustrates the time diagram and has a legend:
