Description

"Procédé et système de réservation de taxi par boîtiers individuels permettant la localisation et l'identification de l'appelant." !"Method and system for booking a taxi in individual boxes allowing the location and identification of the caller." !
La présente invention concerne un procédé ,et un système de réservation de taxi par boîtiers individuels permettant la localisation et l'identification! d'un client appelant.The present invention relates to a method and a system for booking a taxi in individual boxes enabling location and identification! of a calling customer.
Elle peut s'appliquer également à la localisation de personnes accidentées ou en détresse, et à la recherche de personnes disparues en montagne notamment, ou encore à la surveillance de prisonniers à domicile.It can also apply to the location of accidented or distressed people, and to the search for missing people in the mountains in particular, or even to the surveillance of prisoners at home.
Devant l'augmentation sans cesse croissante de la circulation automobile en milieu urbain les flottes de taxis font de plus en plus appel à des moyens technologiques sophistiqués pour optimiser au maximum le chargement des taxis. C'est ainsi que sont installées dans les villes des bornes radio permettant aux usagers d'appeler un taxi. L'appel est transmis vers un ', poste central qui diligente le taxi libre le plus proche vers l'usager. Cette procédure peut s'effectuer par voie! radio par un dialogue à 1 ' alternat entre un opérateur du poste central et les conducteurs de taxis. Cependant dans bien des cas l'usager étranger à une ville ou à un arrondissement de celle-ci ne sait pas où trouver une borne pour effectuer son appel et se trouve bien souvent désemparé, la nuit notamment dans des quartiers déserts où il ne rencontre personne susceptible de le renseigner. La venue des systèmes de radio communication cellulaire du type GSM par exemple ne permet pas non plus de résoudre ce problême car l'usager muni d'un poste portable GSM n'a généralement pas à sa disposition le numéro d'appel de la société de taxi, et même à supposer qu'il l'ait, une autre difficulté qui peut aussi s'offrir à lui, est celle d'être dans l'impossibilité de signaler l'endroit où il se trouve. Le but de l'invention est de pallier les inconvénients précités.Faced with the ever-increasing increase in automobile traffic in urban areas, taxi fleets are increasingly using sophisticated technological means to optimize the loading of taxis. This is how radio terminals are installed in cities allowing users to call a taxi. The call is forwarded to a ', central station which provides the nearest free taxi to the user. This procedure can be done by channel! radio by a half-way dialogue between a central station operator and taxi drivers. However in many cases the foreign user in a city or a district of this one does not know where to find a terminal to make his call and is very often distraught, at night especially in deserted districts where he meets nobody likely to inform him. The arrival of cellular radio communication systems of the GSM type for example also does not make it possible to solve this problem because the user provided with a GSM portable station generally does not have at his disposal the telephone number of the company of taxi, and even assuming that he has it, another difficulty which can also be offered to him, is that of being unable to report the place where he is. The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un procédé de réservation de taxi par un boîtier électronique individuel localisateur permettant la localisation et l'identification d'un client appelant caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste: à appeler un poste central de gestion par l'intermédiaire d'un téléphone mobile d'un réseau de radio téléphone cellulaire porté par le client appelant, à signaler au poste central de gestion la position géographique du client appelant et son identité en couplant le boîtier individuel d'identification au téléphone mobile, les coordonnées géographiques étant fournies par un récepteur de radionavigation par satellite intégré au boîtier localisateur,To this end, the subject of the invention is a method of booking a taxi by means of an individual electronic locator unit allowing the location and identification of a calling customer, characterized in that it consists in: calling a central management station by via a mobile telephone of a radio cellular telephone network carried by the calling customer, to report to the central management station the geographical position of the calling customer and his identity by coupling the individual identification unit to the mobile telephone, the geographical coordinates being supplied by a satellite radionavigation receiver integrated into the locator unit,
- à identifier dans le poste central de gestion le taxi libre le plus adéquat pour se rendre sur du lieu géographique signalé par le boîtier localisateur, - à transmettre au taxi sélectionné la localisation du client appelant et à transmettre au client appelant l'identification du taxi libre identifié.- to identify the most suitable free taxi in the central management station to go to the geographic location indicated by the locator unit, - to transmit to the selected taxi the location of the calling customer and to transmit to the calling customer the identification of the taxi free identified.
L'invention a également pour objet un système de réservation de taxi, ainsi qu'un boîtier électronique localisateur pour la mise en œuvre le procédé précité.The invention also relates to a taxi reservation system, as well as an electronic locator unit for implementing the aforementioned method.
Le procédé et le système selon 1 ' invention ont pour avantage qu'ils permettent de réaliser très rapidement une réservation de taxi quel que soit le lieu où se trouve l'appelant à l'intérieur d'une cellule d'un réseau cellulaire et quel que soit l'instant de la journée où a lieu l'appel sans que l'usager ait besoin de connaître le numéro de téléphone de la station de taxi appelée. Ils ont également pour avantage qu'ils permettent à la station de taxi et au taxi d'identifier très rapidement et avec précision le lieu où est situé l'appelant, grâce au récepteur de radionavigation par satellite intégré au boîtier électronique. Ils sont également très efficaces pour diligenter des secours à des personnes disparues en montagne par exemple, il suffit dans ce cas à la personne demandant les secours de faire l'indicatif du centre de secours pour qu'automatiquement celui ci connaisse la position géographique de la personne en détresse.The method and the system according to the invention have the advantage that they allow a taxi reservation to be made very quickly regardless of the location of the caller inside a cell of a cellular network and whatever whatever the instant of the day the call takes place without the user needing to know the telephone number of the taxi station called. They also have the advantage that they allow the taxi station and the taxi to identify the place where the caller is located very quickly and precisely, thanks to the satellite radio navigation receiver integrated in the electric case. They are also very effective in providing assistance to people who have disappeared in the mountains, for example, in this case it is enough for the person requesting assistance to enter the emergency center code so that it automatically knows the geographical position of the person in distress.

Comme représenté de manière simplifiée sur la figure 1, le système selon l'invention est adapté pour équiper une flotte d'un nombre déterminé de taxis référencés deAs shown in a simplified manner in FIG. 1, the system according to the invention is adapted to equip a fleet with a determined number of taxis referenced from
Al à An, chacun des taxis étant muni de moyens de transmission radio lui permettant de communiquer par voie radio avec un poste central de gestion 2 et des téléphones mobiles 3 d'un réseau de radiocommunication cellulaire recevant des informations de boîtiers électroniques localisateurs 4. Les téléphones mobiles 3 ainsi que les boîtiers électroniques localisateurs 4 sont mis à la disposition des utilisateurs du réseau de taxi, chaque utilisateur 5 disposant d'un téléphone mobile 3 et d'un boîtier électronique localisateur 4. Dans le boîtier électronique localisateur 4 est également intégré un récepteur de radionavigation par exemple, du type connu sous l'abréviation anglo-saxonne GPS de " Global Positioning System", recevant des informations d'une grappe de satellites défilant 6a à 6d lui permettant par un calcul de triangulation de déterminer la position de l'appelant sur le géoide terrestre.Al to An, each of the taxis being provided with radio transmission means enabling it to communicate by radio with a central management station 2 and mobile telephones 3 of a cellular radiocommunication network receiving information from electronic locator boxes 4. The mobile phones 3 as well as the electronic locator boxes 4 are made available to users of the taxi network, each user 5 having a mobile phone 3 and an electronic locator box 4. In the electronic locator box 4 is also integrated a radio navigation receiver for example, of the type known under the English abbreviation GPS of "Global Positioning System", receiving information from a cluster of satellites traveling 6a to 6d allowing it by a triangulation calculation to determine the position of the calling on the Earth's geoide.
Selon l'invention, pour appeler un taxi chaque personne appelante doit mettre en relation par une liaison physique, acoustique ou infrarouge par exemple, son boîtier localisateur 4 avec son téléphone mobile 3, pour permettre le transfert des données de localisation et d'identité du client appelant du boîtier localisateur 4 dans le téléphone mobile 3.According to the invention, in order to call a taxi, each calling person must put his locator unit 4 with his mobile telephone 3, for example, through a physical, acoustic or infrared link, to allow the transfer of location and identity data from the customer calling from the locator unit 4 in the mobile telephone 3.
Le processus de réservation s'effectue suivant les étapes référencées de 7 à 13 sur l'organigramme de la figure 2. Le procédé démarre à l'étape 7 par un appel du client qui compose sur le clavier de son téléphone mobile un numéro identifiant un service taxi dans le réseau de communication cellulaire. Au reçu de cet appel un poste central de gestion 2 invite le client à l'étape 8 par une voix de synthèse à coupler, de façon acoustique ou optique ou éventuellement par une liaison physique, le boîtier localisateur 4 avec le téléphone mobile 3 pour permettre d'une part, le transfert à l'étape 9 des données de repérage géographique calculées par le récepteur de radio navigation intégré au boîtier localisateur 4 vers la station centrale de gestion au moyen du téléphone mobile 3 et d'autre part, l'identification de l'appelant mémorisée à l'intérieur du boîtier. La station centrale de gestion 2 effectue à l'étape 10, une identification du taxi le plus adéquat pour lui transmettre à l'étape 11 les paramètres de localisation du client appelant qu'elle a reçus à l'étape 9 du téléphone mobile 3. A l'étape 12 suivante, la station centrale de gestion transmet au client appelant les paramètres d'identification du taxi ainsi qu'un délai d'attente. Enfin le procédé se termine à l'étape 13 par une demande de transmission d'un avis favorable du client qui peut décider à 1 ' étape 14 de ne pas donner suite notamment s'il trouve que le temps d'attente est trop long. Une fois donné l'accord du client, le taxi peut se rendre sur le lieu qui lui a été indiqué par la station i centrale de gestion.The reservation process is carried out according to the steps referenced from 7 to 13 on the flowchart in Figure 2. The process starts in step 7 by a call from the customer who dials on the keyboard of his mobile phone a number identifying a taxi service in the cellular communication network. On receipt of this call, a central management station 2 invites the customer in step 8 by a synthetic voice to couple, acoustically or optically or possibly by a physical link, the locator unit 4 with the mobile phone 3 to allow on the one hand, the transfer in step 9 of the geographic location data calculated by the radio navigation receiver integrated into the locator unit 4 to the central management station by means of the mobile telephone 3 and on the other hand, the identification caller's memory stored inside the case. The central management station 2 performs in step 10, an identification of the most suitable taxi to transmit to it in step 11 the location parameters of the calling client that it received in step 9 of the mobile telephone 3. In the next step 12, the central management station transmits to the calling client the taxi identification parameters as well as a waiting time. Finally the process ends in step 13 with a request for transmission of a favorable opinion from the client who can decide at step 14 not to follow up, in particular if he finds that the waiting time is too long. Once the client has given his agreement, the taxi can go to the place indicated to him by the central management station.
Comme le montre la vue en perspective de la 'figureAs shown in the perspective view of the ' figure
3, chaque boîtier localisateur 4 est muni d'un lecteur de carte à puce 15, d'une touche d'appel 16 et d'un écran de visualisation LCD 17. Le boîtier intègre de la façon représentée à la figure 4 une architecture à microprocesseur composée, d'un module de localisation par satellite type GPS 18, une liaison par modem acoustique 19 pour le transfert au moyen par exemple d'une modulation d'un signal basse fréquence à deux états de phase, des données de localisation et d'identification vers le micro du téléphone mobile, et éventuellement un module mémoire 20 de type micromodule SIM tel qu'utilisé dans les téléphones mobiles du système GSM pour mémoriser des paramètres propres à 1 ' appelant permettant son authentification. Les paramètres sont fournis par exemple, par l'introduction d'une carte à puce contenant un code confidentiel dans le lecteur de carte à puce ou mieux par reconnaissance de l'empreinte digitale du client selon des moyens adéquats comportant par exemple des moyens de lecture des empreintes laissées sur un écran tactile non représentés. L'ensemble des éléments3, each locator unit 4 is provided with a smart card reader 15, a call button 16 and an LCD display screen 17. The unit integrates as shown in FIG. 4 an architecture with microprocessor composed of a GPS-type satellite location module 18, an acoustic modem link 19 for the transfer, for example by means of a modulation of a low frequency signal with two phase states, of location data and of identification towards the microphone of the mobile telephone, and possibly a memory module 20 of the SIM micromodule type as used in the mobile telephones of the GSM system for memorizing parameters specific to the caller allowing his authentication. The parameters are provided for example, by the introduction of a smart card containing a confidential code into the smart card reader or better by recognition of the customer's fingerprint according to adequate means comprising for example reading means fingerprints left on a touch screen not shown. All the elements
15, 18,19 et 20 sont couplés à un microprocesseur 21 par un bus d'adresse et de données 22. Le microprocesseur 21 est convenablement programmé pour effectuer les échanges de données entre le boîtier localisateur 4 et la station centrale de gestion 2. Un exemple de formatage des données pour effectuer ces échanges est montré aux figures 5 et 6.15, 18, 19 and 20 are coupled to a microprocessor 21 by an address and data bus 22. The microprocessor 21 is suitably programmed to carry out the data exchanges between the locator unit 4 and the central management station 2. A example of data formatting to perform these exchanges is shown in Figures 5 and 6.
Sur la figure 5 le message émis par le boîtier localisateur 4 comporte trois zones principales', une première zone Zl et une deuxième zone Z2 codées chacune avec un mot binaire de 22 bits donnent respectivement la longitude E/ et la latitude N/S exprimées en degrés, minutes et secondes de la position du client appelant et une troisième zone Z3 codée par exemple sur 32 bits correspondant au code d'authentification du client appelant mémorisé dans le module mémoire 20. Les bits contenus dans la zone Zl servent de pointeur d'adresse d'une table de longitude 23 contenue dans une mémoire du système de traitement de données de la station centrale de gestion 2. Les bits de la zone Z2 servent de pointeur d'adresse d'un mot Ml à l'intérieur de la table 23 sélectionnée par les bits de la zone Zl . Le mot Ml identifie la rue et le numéro de la rue qui est le plus proche de la position du client appelant. Eventuellement le système de traitement de données de la station centrale pourra calculer la distance qui sépare dans la rue le client appelant du numéro indiqué par le mot Ml. Pour le cas où les données de longitude et de latitude calculées par le module de localisation par satellite 18 seraient exprimées en grade, le formatage du message de localisation de la figure 5 devra être modifié en conséquence . Sur la figure 6 le message qui est émis par la station centrale de gestion à destination du boîtier localisateur 4 pour permettre l'identification par le client du taxi qui lui est envoyé par la station centrale de gestion comporte 5 zones référencées de Z4 à Z8 définissant respectivement la marque du véhicule, son modèle, sa couleur et éventuellement son numéro de plaque minéralogique, le temps d'attente, et un message invitant par exemple le client appelant à donner confirmation qu'il est d'accord pour attendre le taxi. ;In FIG. 5, the message sent by the locator unit 4 comprises three main zones', one first zone Z1 and a second zone Z2 each coded with a binary word of 22 bits respectively give the longitude E / and the latitude N / S expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds of the position of the calling client and a third zone Z3 coded for example on 32 bits corresponding to the authentication code of the calling client stored in the memory module 20. The bits contained in the zone Zl serve as address pointer to a longitude table 23 contained in a memory of the data processing system of the central management station 2. The bits of the zone Z2 serve as the address pointer of a word M1 inside the table 23 selected by the bits of the zone Zl. The word Ml identifies the street and the number of the street which is closest to the position of the calling customer. Possibly the data processing system of the central station will be able to calculate the distance which separates in the street the calling customer from the number indicated by the word Ml. In the event that the longitude and latitude data calculated by the satellite location module 18 are expressed in grade, the formatting of the location message in FIG. 5 must be modified accordingly. In FIG. 6, the message which is sent by the central management station to the locator unit 4 to allow the customer to identify the taxi sent to him by the central management station has 5 zones referenced from Z4 to Z8 defining respectively the make of the vehicle, its model, its color and possibly its license plate number, the waiting time, and a message inviting for example the calling customer to give confirmation that he agrees to wait for the taxi. ;
Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, chaque boîtier localisateur intègre en plus un module de communication radio fréquence courte distance référencé 24 sur la figure 4, permettant d'établir une liaison radio à l'alternat de type "tal y alky" avec un module de communication similaire installé dans chaque' taxi. Cette disposition permet à un taxi lorsqu'il éprouve des difficultés pour retrouver son client, d'établir un dialogue avec lui . ;According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, each locator unit additionally incorporates a short-range radio frequency communication module referenced 24 in FIG. 4, making it possible to establish a connection radio to the PTT type "y tal alky" with a similar communication module installed in each taxi. This provision allows a taxi when he has difficulty finding his client, to establish a dialogue with him. ;
La liaison de proximité de type "talky walky" peut selon une option plus élaborée être sélective en effectuant une transmission numérique de la parole. Elle consiste à faire transmettre par la station centrale de gestion, un numéro de code identique à un numéro de code déjà mémorisé dans le module mémoire 20 du boîtier localisateur vers le taxi chargé d'effectuer la course, et à crypter la parole par ce numéro de code ce qui rend inintelligible la parole échangée pour d'autres boîtiers localisateurs et taxis situés à proximité. On pourra également dans ce cas utiliser un code fourni par un générateur de code aléatoire.A proximity link of the "talky walky" type can, according to a more elaborate option, be selective by carrying out a digital transmission of the speech. It consists in transmitting by the central management station, a code number identical to a code number already stored in the memory module 20 of the locator unit towards the taxi responsible for carrying out the race, and in encrypting speech by this number of code which makes speech exchanged for other locator boxes and taxis located nearby unintelligible. In this case, we can also use a code provided by a random code generator.
Selon une version encore plus élaborée de l'invention, le boîtier localisateur peut être utilisé par le client pour interroger un ordinateur multimédia du taxi en transmettant par un modem assurant une liaison infra rouge 23 toutes les données nécessaires ; à la connexion avec son email ou site Internet ou encore des services spécialisés. Ces données peuvent être inscrites dans le module mémoire 20 ou dans une carte SIM. Chaque boîtier localisé 4 peut comporter une liaison optique pour permettre au client, ou à la personne appelée, de rentrer en communication avec le réseau Internet.According to an even more elaborate version of the invention, the locator unit can be used by the customer to interrogate a multimedia computer of the taxi by transmitting by a modem ensuring an infrared link 23 all the necessary data; when connecting with their email or website or even specialized services. This data can be written to the memory module 20 or to a SIM card. Each localized box 4 can include an optical link to allow the client, or the person called, to enter into communication with the Internet.
La sélection d'une adresse email s'effectue alors par appuis successifs sur une touche 24 du boîtier de sélection, chacun d'entre eux correspondant à une adresse email ou un site internet préprogrammé. Dans , cette sélection chaque appui sur une touche provoque l'affichage d'un numéro ou d'un caractère alphanumérique sur l'écran de visualisation représentatif d'un site ou d'une adresse email préprogrammée. The selection of an email address is then carried out by successive presses on a key 24 of the selection box, each of them corresponding to an email address or a preprogrammed website. In, this selection each press on a key causes the display of a number or an alphanumeric character on the display screen representative of a site or a pre-programmed email address.
