Abstract

The invention relates to a system that has been specially designed to prevent the presentation of illegible tickets at car park exits, owing to the incorrect use of the magnetic strip for just reasons. For this purpose, the invention comprises the use of tickets that include both a magnetic strip and a barcode, as well as additional vehicle-related information, such as the vehicle registration number, which information is recorded in the database of the main computer. As such, in the event of the failure of any two of said three identification systems, or even in the event of the partial failure of all three, it is still possible to retrieve the information associated with the arrival of the vehicle in the car park, thereby preventing the presentation of the above-mentioned illegible tickets and, consequently, preventing unnecessary queues from forming at car park exits.

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un sistema que ha sido especialmente concebido para realizar de forma automática y eficaz el control de acceso de vehículos en aparcamientos y similares.The present invention relates to a system that has been specially designed to automatically and efficiently control the access of vehicles in parking lots and the like.
El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un sistema dual que permita un correcto funcionamiento del mismo ante un eventual deterioro de la banda magnética del ticket de aparcamiento debido a su inhabilitación por causa de cualquier campo magnético, evitando la generación de "tickets ilegibles".The object of the invention is to provide a dual system that allows it to function properly in the event of a possible deterioration of the magnetic strip of the parking ticket due to its disabling due to any magnetic field, avoiding the generation of "illegible tickets".
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En el ámbito de aplicación práctica de la invención, el de los aparcamientos para vehículos, es frecuente que en el control de entradas y salidas de vehículos se creen atascos que no permitan el acceso o la salida de los mismos.In the field of practical application of the invention, that of car parks, it is common that traffic jams are created in the control of vehicle entrances and exits that do not allow access or exit.
Cuando la creación del ticket de entrada o la validación de salida es incorrecta, podemos encontrarnos con un tapón de coches. Los actuales tickets, normalmente, llevan la información en una banda magnética que se puede degradar por someterse a campos magnéticos, por dobleces, o por cualquier otra cosa que impide la validación de la misma a la salida del aparcamiento.When the creation of the entrance ticket or the exit validation is incorrect, we can find a car stopper. Current tickets usually carry the information in a magnetic strip that can be degraded by undergoing magnetic fields, by bends, or by Anything else that prevents the validation of it at the exit of the parking lot.
A fin de evitar los problemas derivados de la inclusión de bandas magnéticas en los tickets de control de entrada/salida, son conocidas máquinas expendedoras que graban códigos de barras sobre papel térmico que están dotadas de un punzón térmico en una posición inclinada y fija que apenas deja pasar el papel del ticket, a lo que hay que añadir el hecho de que no es capaz de grabar más que el código de barras y no ninguna otra figura caprichosa. Este tipo de dispositivos tienen un tiempo de vida reducido, por lo que sus costes de mantenimiento resultan elevados.In order to avoid the problems derived from the inclusion of magnetic strips in the input / output control tickets, vending machines that record bar codes on thermal paper that are provided with a thermal punch in an inclined and fixed position are barely known. lets pass the ticket paper, to which we must add the fact that it is not able to record more than the barcode and no other capricious figure. These types of devices have a reduced life time, so their maintenance costs are high.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El sistema que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, proporcionando un elemento de control de acceso dual, mediante el cual se elimina la aparición de "tickets ilegibles", evitando la generación de innecesarios atascos a la salida del aparcamiento.The system proposed by the invention solves in a fully satisfactory manner the aforementioned problem, providing a dual access control element, whereby the appearance of "illegible tickets" is eliminated, avoiding the generation of unnecessary traffic jams at the exit of the parking lot.
Para ello, se ha previsto que los tickets que participan en el sistema incorporen tanto una banda magnética en la que quedan grabados los datos correspondientes a la hora de acceso del vehículo, como información gráfica impresa, tal como un código de barras, dibujos, así como datos del vehículo, como por ejemplo la matrícula.To this end, it is foreseen that the tickets participating in the system incorporate both a magnetic strip in which the data corresponding to the access time of the vehicle are recorded, as well as printed graphic information, such as a barcode, drawings, as well. as vehicle data, such as registration.
De forma más concreta, el sistema está dotado de un punzón térmico cerámico, lo que hace que se caliente menos que los actuales y su tiempo de reacción, y por tanto de impresión, sea mínimo. Al calentarse menos su vida es más larga y es capaz de imprimir el doble de tickets, con el consiguiente ahorro económico. Adicionalmente, el punzón está asociado a una memoria que graba lo que imprime y permite almacenar figuras o dibujos determinados que luego van a ser impresos. Al estar almacenados ya en memoria no necesita tiempo para que se los transmita un ordenador, con una velocidad de respuesta mucho mayor.More specifically, the system is equipped with a ceramic thermal punch, which makes it less hot than the current ones and their reaction time, and therefore printing, is minimal. When heated less his life is longer and he is able to print twice as many tickets, with the consequent economic savings. Additionally, the punch is associated with a memory that records what it prints and allows storing certain figures or drawings that will then be printed. Being stored in memory does not need time for a computer to transmit them, with a much faster response speed.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, el punzón adopta una disposición perpendicular al papel térmico donde imprime, estando dotado de mecanismos capaces de hacerlo subir y bajar, lo que le permite imprimir prácticamente cualquier imagen o fotografía, y en cualquier posición del ticket.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, the punch adopts an arrangement perpendicular to the thermal paper where it prints, being provided with mechanisms capable of making it rise and fall, which allows it to print virtually any image or photograph, and in any position of the ticket
El sistema se complementará con una o más cámaras, de manera que cuando llega un vehículo es capaz de capturar la matrícula, mandar esta información a un ordenador que la manda al punzón térmico para que la imprima, de modo que a través de este ordenador se crea una banda magnética donde se graban todos los datos de entrada, y que, además, imprime un código de barras en el billete de entrada. El procesador y el punzón dotado de memoria guardarán toda esta información, de tal forma que con pequeños datos y por un cruce entre todos los sistemas, el riesgo de que no se abra la puerta de acceso una vez validado el ticket es casi nulo.The system will be complemented with one or more cameras, so that when a vehicle arrives it is able to capture the license plate, send this information to a computer that sends it to the thermal punch to print it, so that through this computer it it creates a magnetic strip where all the input data is recorded, and that, in addition, prints a barcode on the entry ticket. The processor and the punch with memory will store all this information, so that with small data and a cross between all systems, the risk of not opening the access door once the ticket is validated is almost null.
Así pues, el sistema prevé tres modos de identificación del vehículo simultáneos, la banda magnética, el código de barras, y la información impresa relativa al vehículo (por ejemplo la matrícula) y memorizada en la base de datos del ordenador principal, de manera que aunque dos de ellos fallen parcial o totalmente, siempre se podrá validar correctamente el ticket, emitiendo si es necesario un nuevo billete para que el usuario pueda salir. Asimismo cabe destacar que la disposición del punzón en vertical que permite que suba y baje, posibilita que en las máquinas de pago donde se validan los tickets de entrada, exista una única ranura tanto para la lectura del billete como para la lectura de tarjetas de crédito o de billetes de curso legal con los que pagar. Esto impide que el cliente se confunda e inserte una tarjeta de crédito en el lector de tickets, atascándolo, de manera que al existir una única ranura, se facilitan los trámites. En este sentido, cuando la máquina detecta que se ha insertado una tarjeta o un billete hace subir el punzón para dejarles paso hacia los sistemas lectores de tarjetas y billetes, bajando después a su posición inicial.Thus, the system provides for three simultaneous vehicle identification modes, the magnetic stripe, the bar code, and the printed information related to the vehicle (for example the license plate) and stored in the main computer database, so that Even if two of them fail partially or totally, the ticket can always be validated correctly, issuing a new ticket if necessary so that the user can leave. It should also be noted that the provision of the vertical punch that allows it to go up and down, allows that in the payment machines where the entrance tickets are validated, there is a single slot for both the reading of the ticket and for the reading of credit cards or legal tender tickets to pay with. This prevents the customer from getting confused and inserting a credit card into the ticket reader, jamming it, so that when there is only one slot, the procedures are facilitated. In this sense, when the machine detects that a card or a ticket has been inserted, it raises the punch to give way to the card and bill reader systems, then lowering to their initial position.
Se consigue de esta manera proporcionar un sistema de control de acceso sumamente seguro y eficaz, que impide que por cualquier fallo se pueda producir un atasco en el acceso que controlan.In this way, it is possible to provide an extremely safe and efficient access control system, which prevents any failure to cause a blockage in the access they control.

For illustrative purposes and not limitation, the following has been represented:
La figura 1.- Muestra un diagrama de bloques en el que se representa el funcionamiento de uno de los expendedores de tickets que participan en el sistema de la invención. La figura 2.- Muestra una representación similar a la de la figura I5 pero en este caso correspondiente a un validador de caja.Figure 1.- Shows a block diagram in which the operation of one of the ticket dispensers that participate in the system of the invention is represented. Figure 2.- Shows a representation similar to that of Figure I 5 but in this case corresponding to a cash validator.
La figura 3.- Muestra, finalmente, una representación similar a la de las figuras 1 y 2, correspondiente a un validador de salida.Figure 3.- Shows, finally, a representation similar to that of Figures 1 and 2, corresponding to an output validator.
REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las figuras referidas puede observarse como en el sistema de la invención, y como es convencional, participarán uno o más expendedores de tickets (1), como el mostrado en la figura I5 situados a la entrada del aparcamiento de que se trate, uno o más validadores de caja (2), como el mostrado en la figura 2, convenientemente establecidos en puntos estratégicos del aparcamiento, así como uno o más validadores de salida (3), como el mostrado en la figura 3, situados a la salida del garaje, y actuantes sobre el mecanismo elevador de la correspondiente barrera u elemento equivalente.In view of the aforementioned figures it can be observed how in the system of the invention, and as is conventional, one or more ticket dispensers (1) will participate, as shown in Figure I 5 located at the entrance of the parking lot of which treat, one or more box validators (2), such as the one shown in figure 2, conveniently established at strategic points of the car park, as well as one or more exit validators (3), such as the one shown in figure 3, located at the exit of the garage, and acting on the lifting mechanism of the corresponding barrier or equivalent element.
Tanto los expendedores de tickets (1) como los validadores de cajaBoth ticket dispensers (1) and cash validators
(2) tienen la doble función de leer y grabar datos, mientras que los validadores de salida (3) únicamente constituyen dispositivos de lectura.(2) have the dual function of reading and writing data, while the output validators (3) only constitute reading devices.
De forma más concreta, y en cuanto a los expendedores de tickets (1), éstos son las unidades encargadas de generar el ticket de acceso al aparcamiento, los cuales estarán dotados de un alimentador de papel, un sistema de corte para el mismo, una unidad de impresión, un sistema de codificación y los correspondientes elementos de verificación, electrónica de control y transporte. De forma más concreta, y tal y como se puede observar en la figura 1, partiendo de un estado inicial (4) en el que se detecta la presencia de un vehículo frente al expendedor (1) de tickets, el dispositivo procede automáticamente a grabar (5) los datos correspondientes al acceso del vehículo en la banda magnética (6) que incluye el ticket (7), tras lo cual se procede a imprimir un código de barras (8), así como información relativa al vehículo, por ejemplo el número de matrícula, el cual será registrado a través de una videocámara, no representada en las figuras, y asociada al ordenador principal de control que regula todo el sistema.More specifically, and as for the ticket dispensers (1), these are the units responsible for generating the parking access ticket, which will be provided with a paper feeder, a cutting system for it, a printing unit, coding system and corresponding verification elements, control and transport electronics. More specifically, and as can be seen in Figure 1, starting from an initial state (4) in which the presence of a vehicle is detected in front of the ticket dispenser (1), the device automatically records (5) the data corresponding to the access of the vehicle in the magnetic strip (6) that includes the ticket (7), after which a barcode (8) is printed, as well as information related to the vehicle, for example the registration number, which will be registered through a camcorder, not represented in the figures, and associated with the main control computer that regulates the entire system.
Seguidamente se procede a realizar la verificación (9) de los datos, de manera que si no se da ningún error, la información se guarda (10) en una base de datos (11), de modo que ésta pueda ser recuperada ante un error en la lectura del ticket, procediéndose seguidamente a expender (12) el ticket (7), dándose por finalizado (13) el proceso. En caso de existir un error en la verificación de los datos guardados, se procederá a anular (14) el ticket, reteniéndolo (15), quedando dicho proceso igualmente registrado en la base de datos (11), concretamente en un archivo dedicado a las incidencias.Then the verification (9) of the data is carried out, so that if there is no error, the information is stored (10) in a database (11), so that it can be recovered before an error in reading the ticket, then proceeding to issue (12) the ticket (7), the process being terminated (13). If there is an error in the verification of the saved data, the ticket will be canceled (14), retaining it (15), said process being also registered in the database (11), specifically in a file dedicated to the incidents
Tal y como se ha apuntado con anterioridad, la impresión tanto del código de barras como de la información relativa al vehículo se lleva a cabo mediante un punzón térmico cerámico, al que está asociado a una memoria que graba lo que imprime y que permite almacenar figuras o dibujos determinados que luego van a ser impresos. De esta manera, al estar almacenados ya en memoria no necesita tiempo para que se los transmita el ordenador, con una velocidad de respuesta mucho mayor. Así pues, el punzón térmico podrá imprimir igualmente publicidad sobre el resto de la superficie del ticket que no se utilice, de manera que en contra de lo que sucede convencionalmente, dicha publicidad puede ser dinámica, variada a voluntad y actualizada desde el ordenador central, y que podrá variar en función de franjas horarias u otro parámetros que la empresa estime oportunos.As noted previously, printing of both the barcode and the information related to the vehicle is carried out by means of a ceramic thermal punch, which is associated with a memory that records what it prints and allows storing figures or certain drawings that will later be printed. In this way, being stored in memory does not need time for the computer to transmit them, with a much faster response speed. Thus, the thermal punch can also print advertising on the rest of the surface of the ticket that is not used, so that contrary to what happens conventionally, said advertising can be dynamic, varied at will and updated from the central computer, and that may vary in function of slots or other parameters that the company deems appropriate.
Así pues, una vez expendido el ticket (7), éste dispondrá de 3 sistemas diferentes para identificación de la hora exacta en la que el vehículo accedió al garaje, correspondientes a la banda magnética (7), al código de barras (8), y a la información impresa relativa al vehículo (matrícula) que queda guardada en la base de datos, y a la que se le asocia igualmente una fecha y hora concreta.Thus, once the ticket (7) has been issued, it will have 3 different systems to identify the exact time at which the vehicle accessed the garage, corresponding to the magnetic strip (7), to the barcode (8), and the printed information related to the vehicle (registration) that is stored in the database, and to which a specific date and time is also associated.
En cuanto a los validadores de caja (2), éstos constituyen las unidades encargadas de preparar el ticket (7) para que el usuario pueda salir del aparcamiento, una vez haya finalizado el objeto de su visita, estando dotadas de un sistema de aparcado de tickets/tarjetas, una unidad de impresión, sistemas de codificación, verificación, transporte y control.As for the cash validators (2), these constitute the units in charge of preparing the ticket (7) so that the user can leave the car park, once the object of his visit is finished, being equipped with a parking system tickets / cards, a printing unit, coding, verification, transport and control systems.
De forma más concreta, y tras la introducción (16) del ticket (7) en la correspondiente ranura, el dispositivo procede a leer (17) los datos asociados a la banda magnética (6), así como a leer (18) el código de barras (8) y la información impresa relativa al vehículo, analizando (19) los datos leídos, de manera que con que uno de los tres sistemas utilizados no esté inutilizado, se procederá al cobro (20) se dará el proceso por completado (21), actualizando el histórico (22) en la base de datos (11), recodificando (23) la banda magnética, inutilizando (24) el código de barras inicial e imprimiendo (25) uno nuevo, tras lo que se procede a la devolución (26) del ticket, dando el proceso por finalizado (27).More specifically, and after the introduction (16) of the ticket (7) in the corresponding slot, the device proceeds to read (17) the data associated with the magnetic strip (6), as well as read (18) the code of bars (8) and the printed information related to the vehicle, analyzing (19) the data read, so that with one of the three systems used is not disabled, the payment will be made (20) the process will be completed ( 21), updating the history (22) in the database (11), recoding (23) the magnetic strip, disabling (24) the initial barcode and printing (25) a new one, after which the return (26) of the ticket, giving the process finished (27).
En el caso más que improbable de que los tres sistemas de comprobación de datos estén inutilizados, se procederá a la cancelación (28) de la operación y a la devolución (26) del ticket, para que el usuario se ponga en contacto con el personal del aparcamiento.In the unlikely event that the three data verification systems are unused, the operation will be canceled (28) and the ticket returned (26), so that the user gets Contact the parking staff.
Por último, y pasando a analizar los validadores de salida, éstas unidades se encargan, como ya se ha dicho con anterioridad, de permitir la salida una vez comprobado que el ticket cumple con las condiciones fijadas por el aparcamiento, contando igualmente con elementos de verificación, transporte y control.Finally, and going on to analyze the exit validators, these units are in charge, as has been said before, of allowing the exit once it has been verified that the ticket meets the conditions set by the parking lot, also having verification elements , transport and control.
Tal y como se puede observar en la figura 3, tras la inserción (29) del ticket en la correspondiente ranura, el validador de salida procede a leerAs can be seen in Figure 3, after insertion (29) of the ticket into the corresponding slot, the exit validator proceeds to read
(30) la banda magnética (6) del ticket (7), así como a leer (31) el código de barras generado en el validador de caja (2), analizando (32) los datos, de manera que si éstos son válidos el ticket es almacenado (33), el histórico se actualiza (34) en la base de datos (11), y se procede a la validación (35) de la salida, dándose el proceso por terminado (36). En caso de que los datos sean erróneos, como por ejemplo si ha trascurrido un periodo de tiempo al permitido para la salida, se impedirá dicha salida, devolviendo (37) el ticket al usuario. (30) the magnetic strip (6) of the ticket (7), as well as to read (31) the barcode generated in the cash validator (2), analyzing (32) the data, so that if these are valid The ticket is stored (33), the history is updated (34) in the database (11), and validation (35) of the output is carried out, the process being terminated (36). In the event that the data is wrong, such as if a period of time has elapsed to the time allowed for the exit, said exit will be prevented, returning (37) the ticket to the user.
