Description

DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION CONTRE LE VOL D'UN TICKET TICKET THEFT PROTECTION DEVICE
ELECTRONIQUE DE STATIONNEMENT PAYANTPaid parking electronics
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection contre le vol d'un ticket électronique de stationnement payant.The present invention relates to a device for protecting against the theft of a paid electronic parking ticket.
L'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse dans le domaine général du stationnement payant, et plus spécialement, dans celui des parcmètres individuels placés à l'intérieur des véhicules, connus sous le nom dlCPM, acronyme du terme anglo- saxon « In-Car-Parking-Meter ».The invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the general field of paid parking, and more particularly, in that of individual parking meters placed inside vehicles, known as dlCPM, acronym of the English term "In-Car- Parking-Meter ”.
On connaît de la demande de brevet français N° 97/ 15650 un ticket électronique de stationnement payant constitué d'un boîtier comportant, entre autres, une horloge chargée notamment de fournir la date et l'heure courantes, une zone-mémoire dans laquelle sont stockées diverses informations comme les régimes tarifaires et les unités de stationnement restantes, et un lecteur de cartes à mémoire électronique pour recevoir par exemple une carte contenant des unités de stationnement à transférer dans ladite zone-mémoire, ainsi qu'une carte de configuration du ticket électronique.We know from French patent application N ° 97/15650 an electronic paid parking ticket consisting of a box comprising, among other things, a clock responsible in particular for providing the current date and time, a memory zone in which are stored various information such as the tariff regimes and the remaining parking units, and an electronic memory card reader for receiving, for example, a card containing parking units to be transferred into said memory zone, as well as a ticket configuration card electronic.
Dans le but de pouvoir vérifier la licéité de la présence d'un véhicule, le boîtier constituant le ticket électronique de stationnement payant est placé à l'intérieur du véhicule, derrière le pare-brise, de manière visible pour un agent de surveillance du parc de stationnement qui peut alors contrôler que le véhicule est en situation régulière, à partir des informations apparaissant sur un afficheur du ticket électronique, notamment la date et l'heure de fin de stationnement autorisé. Cependant, on comprend que, la date et l'heure de fin de stationnement autorisé étant une indication du nombre d'unités de stationnement présentes dans la zone-mémoire, l'affichage de ces informations de fin de stationnement, pourtant indispensable au contrôle, peut constituer une incitation au vol du boîtier. En effet, une personne mal intentionnée, constatant sur l'afficheur d'un ticket électronique, une fin de stationnement très tardive, en déduira que le boîtier contient un grand nombre d'unités de stationnement et sera d'autant plus tentée de fracturer le véhicule pour dérober le boîtier du ticket électronique qui s'y trouve.In order to be able to verify the legality of the presence of a vehicle, the box constituting the electronic paid parking ticket is placed inside the vehicle, behind the windshield, in a visible manner for a park surveillance officer. parking lot which can then check that the vehicle is in a regular situation, from the information appearing on an electronic ticket display, in particular the date and time of the end of authorized parking. However, it is understood that, the date and time of authorized parking end being an indication of the number of parking units present in the memory zone, the display of this information of parking end, however essential to control, may constitute an incitement to theft of the box. Indeed, a malicious person, noting on the display of an electronic ticket, a very late end of parking, will deduce that the box contains a large number of parking units and will be all the more tempted to fracture the vehicle to steal the electronic ticket box found there.
Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de protection contre le vol d'un ticket électronique de stationnement payant comportant un lecteur de cartes à mémoire électronique, qui permettrait de dissuader d'éventuels voleurs de subtiliser les tickets électroniques des véhicules en stationnement.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a device for protection against theft of an electronic paid parking ticket comprising an electronic memory card reader, which would make it possible to dissuade possible thieves to steal electronic tickets from parked vehicles.
La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que ledit dispositif de protection comprend une carte de déverrouillage contenant en mémoire un code propre à la carte et une durée de validité du code, destinés à être transférés dans le ticket électronique lors d'une première insertion de la carte de déverrouillage dans ledit lecteur, de manière qu'à l'expiration de la durée de validité du code le ticket électronique de stationnement payant se trouve hors fonctionnement jusqu'à ce que ladite carte de déverrouillage est à nouveau insérée dans le lecteur de cartes à mémoire électronique.The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that said protection device comprises an unlocking card containing in memory a code specific to the card and a period of validity of the code, intended to be transferred into the electronic ticket. during a first insertion of the unlocking card into said reader, so that at the expiration of the validity period of the code the electronic paid parking ticket is inoperative until said unlocking card is again inserted into the electronic memory card reader.
Ainsi, l'usager ayant acquis la carte de déverrouillage l'insère une première fois dans le lecteur de cartes du ticket électronique, ce qui a pour effet de transférer dans le ticket électronique le code affecté à la carte de dé verrouillage ainsi que la durée de validité du code. Le ticket électronique est alors en état de fonctionner normalement pendant toute la durée de validité. A l'expiration de cette durée, le ticket électronique est automatiquement mis hors fonctionnement. Pour le réactiver, il faut réintroduire la carte de dé verrouillage portant le même code que celui entré initialement.Thus, the user having acquired the unlocking card inserts it for the first time in the card reader of the electronic ticket, which has the effect of transferring into the electronic ticket the code assigned to the unlocking card as well as the duration of code validity. The electronic ticket is then in a condition to function normally during the entire period of validity. At the end of this period, the electronic ticket is automatically deactivated. To reactivate it, you must reinsert the unlocking card with the same code than the one entered initially.
On comprend que, de cette manière, un voleur ne pourra utiliser le ticket électronique de stationnement payant que pour la durée de validité restante dans la zone-mémoire. Au delà, le boîtier volé ne sera plus utilisable car le voleur ne pourra le réactiver puisque, par hypothèse, il ne dispose pas de la carte de déverrouillage associée.It is understood that, in this way, a thief can only use the electronic paid parking ticket for the remaining period of validity in the memory area. Beyond that, the stolen box will no longer be usable because the thief will not be able to reactivate it since, hypothetically, he does not have the associated unlocking card.
En conclusion, s'il ne peut empêcher le vol proprement dit, le dispositif de protection conforme à l'invention a au moins un effet dissuasif sur les voleurs potentiels puisque le boîtier est rendu inutilisable à l'expiration de la durée de validité.In conclusion, if it cannot prevent theft itself, the protection device according to the invention has at least a deterrent effect on potential thieves since the box is rendered unusable at the end of the period of validity.
On remarquera que le dispositif de protection selon l'invention présente l'avantage que l'usager n'a pas à saisir de code à l'initialisation, ou pour modification, ni à chaque utilisation du ticket électronique, ce qui en simplifie la manipulation. D'autre part, l'usager n'a pas à mémoriser de code avec les risques d'oubli que cela entraîne.It will be noted that the protection device according to the invention has the advantage that the user does not have to enter a code on initialization, or for modification, or each time the electronic ticket is used, which simplifies the handling thereof. . On the other hand, the user does not have to memorize code with the risks of forgetting that this entails.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, des moyens de calcul du ticket électronique déterminent une date et une heure de fin de validité du code à partir de la durée de validité et de la date et l'heure d'insertion de la carte de déverrouillage dans le lecteur de cartes à mémoire électronique, lesdites date et heure de fin de validité du code étant stockées dans une zone-mémoire du ticket électronique.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, means for calculating the electronic ticket determine a date and an end time for the validity of the code from the period of validity and from the date and time of insertion of the unlocking card in the electronic memory card reader, said date and time of end of validity of the code being stored in a memory area of the electronic ticket.
L'invention prévoit également que des moyens de comparaison de la date et de l'heure de fin de validité du code aux date et heure courantes fournies par une horloge du ticket électronique sont aptes à commander un interrupteur de mise hors fonctionnement dudit ticket électronique.The invention also provides that means for comparing the date and time of end of validity of the code with the current date and time supplied by a clock of the electronic ticket are able to control a switch for deactivation of said electronic ticket.
La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut être réalisée. La figure 1 est un schéma d'un dispositif de protection conforme à l'invention lors de la première insertion de la carte de déverrouillage.The description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be implemented. Figure 1 is a diagram of a protection device according to the invention during the first insertion of the unlocking card.
La figure 2 est un schéma de dispositif de la figure 1 lors d'une insertion ultérieure de la carte de déverrouillage. Sur les figures 1 et 2 est représenté un dispositif de protection contre le vol d'un ticket électronique 10 de stationnement payant. Un tel ticket électronique est décrit en détail dans la demande de brevet français N° 97/ 15650. A ce stade, il suffit de savoir que ledit ticket électronique est constitué par un boîtier 10 comprenant une zone- mémoire 1 1 où sont stockés des régimes tarifaires et des unités de stationnement, une horloge 12 donnant la date et l'heure courantes, et des moyens de calcul, à savoir éventuellement un microprocesseur, aptes à établir la date et l'heure DHE de fin de stationnement autorisé en fonction du régime tarifaire TF sélectionné, des unités de stationnement stockées dans la zone-mémoire 1 1 et de la date et l'heure courantes. La date et l'heure DHE de fin de stationnement autorisé, ainsi que le régime tarifaire TF choisi, sont visualisés sur un afficheurFigure 2 is a device diagram of Figure 1 during a subsequent insertion of the unlocking card. In Figures 1 and 2 is shown a protection device against theft of an electronic ticket 10 paid parking. Such an electronic ticket is described in detail in French patent application N ° 97 / 15650. At this stage, it suffices to know that said electronic ticket consists of a box 10 comprising a memory area 1 1 where schemes are stored tariffs and parking units, a clock 12 giving the current date and time, and calculation means, possibly a microprocessor, capable of establishing the date and time DHE of end of authorized parking according to the regime TF tariff selected, parking units stored in memory area 1 1 and the current date and time. The date and time DHE for the end of authorized parking, as well as the TF tariff regime chosen, are displayed on a display.
13 de manière à permettre le contrôle de licéité du stationnement par un agent de surveillance. Au cours du stationnement, le microprocesseur du boîtier 10 consomme progressivement des unités dans la zone-mémoire 1 1 , cette consommation pouvant être stoppée à volonté par l'usager lorsqu'il revient à son véhicule avant la fin du stationnement autorisé.13 so as to allow the lawfulness of the parking lot to be checked by a surveillance officer. During parking, the microprocessor of the housing 10 progressively consumes units in the memory area 11, this consumption being able to be stopped at will by the user when he returns to his vehicle before the end of the authorized parking.
Comme l'indique la figure 1 , ledit dispositif de sécurisation contre le vol comporte une carte 20 de déverrouillage prévue pour être insérée dans un lecteur 14 de cartes à mémoire électronique du boîtier 10. La mémoire 21 de la carte 20 de déverrouillage contient un code C, spécifique de la carte, et une durée D de validité du code (1 mois par exemple). Lorsque la carte 20 de déverrouillage est insérée pour la première fois dans le lecteur 14, le code C et la durée D de crédit sont 5 transférés dans le boîtier 10. Puis, la carte 20 est retirée. Le ticket électronique 10 pourra alors fonctionner normalement pendant une durée égale à la durée D de validité du code C. De façon pratique, la durée D de validité est convertie en une date et une heure DHF de fin de validité du code C par lesdits moyens de calcul en ajoutant la durée D de validité à la date et l'heure DHI d'insertion de la carte 20 de déverrouillage dans le lecteur 14 de cartes à mémoire électronique.As indicated in FIG. 1, said device for securing against theft comprises an unlocking card 20 intended to be inserted into a reader 14 of electronic memory cards of the housing 10. The memory 21 of the unlocking card 20 contains a code C, specific to the card, and a duration D of validity of the code (1 month for example). When the unlocking card 20 is inserted for the first time in the reader 14, the code C and the duration D of credit are 5 transferred to the housing 10. Then, the card 20 is removed. The electronic ticket 10 will then be able to function normally for a duration equal to the duration D of validity of the code C. In practice, the duration D of validity is converted into a date and a DHF end of validity of the code C by said means. calculation by adding the duration D of validity to the date and time DHI of insertion of the unlocking card 20 in the reader 14 of electronic memory cards.
Lesdites date et heure DHF de fin de validité sont stockées dans la zone-mémoire 11 du boîtier 10. La date et l'heure DHF de fin de validité du code C sont constamment comparées à la date et l'heure courantes DHC fournies par l'horloge 12 à l'aide de moyens 16 de comparaison jusqu'à obtenir l'égalité, auquel cas le ticket électronique 10 est mis hors fonctionnement, représenté par l'interrupteur 15 sur les figures 1 et 2. Un message sur l'afficheur 13 indique à l'usager que son boîtier est bloqué.Said DHF end date and time are stored in memory area 11 of the housing 10. The DHF end date and time of code C are constantly compared with the current DHC date and time supplied by the clock 12 using comparison means 16 until equality is obtained, in which case the electronic ticket 10 is put out of operation, represented by the switch 15 in FIGS. 1 and 2. A message on the display 13 indicates to the user that his box is blocked.
Pour réactiver le ticket électronique 10, l'usager n'a comme solution que de réinsérer la carte 20 de dé verrouillage. Plus précisément, et comme le montre la figure 2, lorsqu'une carte 20' de dé verrouillage est insérée dans le lecteur 14 du boîtier 10 dont la zone- mémoire 11 contient déjà un code C, une vérification du code C présent dans la mémoire 21 ' de la carte 20' est effectuée par comparaison des codes C et C au moyen d'un comparateur 17. Si la comparaison est positive, c'est-à-dire si la carte 20' est la carte 20 de déverrouillage initiale, l'interrupteur 15 est débloqué et le boîtier 10 peut à nouveau fonctionner pour une nouvelle durée D. Dans le cas contraire, la carte 20' n'est pas la carte de déverrouillage d'origine et le boîtier 10 reste bloqué.To reactivate the electronic ticket 10, the user only has the solution of reinserting the unlocking card 20. More precisely, and as shown in FIG. 2, when a unlocking card 20 ′ is inserted in the reader 14 of the housing 10 whose memory area 11 already contains a code C, a verification of the code C present in the memory 21 ′ of the card 20 ′ is carried out by comparison of the codes C and C by means of a comparator 17. If the comparison is positive, that is to say if the card 20 ′ is the card 20 for initial unlocking, the switch 15 is unlocked and the housing 10 can operate again for a new duration D. Otherwise, the card 20 ′ is not the original unlocking card and the housing 10 remains blocked.
La durée D de validité est soit fixée définitivement dans la carte 20, soit programmée sur demande de l'usager au moment où il acquiert 6 la carte 20 de déverrouillage. Cette durée D est choisie comme un compromis entre une sécurité de protection élevée, qui suppose une durée D minimale, et des contraintes d'utilisation moindres, qui suppose une durée D maximale. Le dispositif de protection conforme à l'invention peut être ajouté à un ticket électronique 10 déjà existant, sur demande de l'usager, même après une période initiale d'utilisation sans protection.The duration D of validity is either permanently fixed in the card 20, or programmed at the request of the user when he acquires 6 the unlocking card 20. This duration D is chosen as a compromise between high protection security, which assumes a minimum duration D, and lower usage constraints, which assumes a maximum duration D. The protection device according to the invention can be added to an already existing electronic ticket 10, at the request of the user, even after an initial period of use without protection.
Bien entendu, l'usager n'est pas tenu d'attendre la mise hors fonctionnement de son boîtier 10 pour prolonger la durée de validité du code. Avant expiration de la durée D, il peut insérer à nouveau la carte 20 de déverrouillage pour obtenir que la date et l'heure DHF de fin de validité du code C déterminées par lesdits moyens de calcul se substituent à la date et à l'heure de fin de validité stockées dans la zone-mémoire 1 1. La demande de brevet français N° 97/ 15650 mentionne la possibilité pour l'usager de posséder une carte personnelle associée à son ticket électronique 10, dite carte de configuration. Dans ces conditions, on peut envisager que ladite carte de déverrouillage est constituée par ladite carte de configuration à laquelle un module logiciel de déverrouillage est ajouté. La prolongation de la durée de validité du code est réalisée à chaque insertion de la carte de configuration dans le boîtier 10 avec éventuellement rechargement du ticket électronique en unités de stationnement. Of course, the user is not required to wait for the shutdown of his box 10 to extend the period of validity of the code. Before the expiration of the duration D, he can reinsert the unlocking card 20 to obtain that the date and time DHF of end of validity of the code C determined by said means of calculation replace the date and time expiry date stored in memory area 1 1. French patent application N ° 97/15650 mentions the possibility for the user to have a personal card associated with his electronic ticket 10, called the configuration card. Under these conditions, it can be envisaged that said unlocking card is constituted by said configuration card to which a software unlocking module is added. The extension of the period of validity of the code is carried out each time the configuration card is inserted into the housing 10, possibly with recharging of the electronic ticket in parking units.
