BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a taxi receipt issuing device for issuing a taxi receipt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional taxi receipt issuing device, as shown in FIG. 7, prints a date, a fee, a vehicle number, and the like on a preprinted sheet after a fee is determined. This method has the advantage that the printing time after the fee is fixed is short because the number of print items is small, but for example, it is not possible to issue a receivable (certificate) in the case of payment by a ticket or the like. Small users and private taxis have the disadvantage of high costs due to having to print them out.

Therefore, conventionally, although it takes a long time, after a fee is determined on a blank sheet, printing is performed and a receipt (not yet received) is issued.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional taxi receipt issuing device issues a receipt by printing a date, a fee, a vehicle number, etc., after determining the fare on a blank sheet. Therefore, it took a long time to issue a receipt.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a taxi receipt issuing device improved so as to shorten the time required for issuing a receipt.

[0006]

Means for solving the above problems will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention. A taxi receipt issuing device for issuing a receipt for a taxi fare, a character recording memory (1) for recording character data of a receipt printing character, and a printing device (2) for printing characters on a receipt issuing paper. ), Input data determining means (3) for determining whether the input data is character print command data or fee data, and when the input data determining means (3) determines that the input data is a character print command, Receipt entry characters are sequentially read out from the character recording memory (1) and printed by the printer (2). If it is determined that the data is fee data, characters related to the fee data are stored in the character recording memory (1). ) And print processing means (4) for reading out the data from the printer (2).

[0007]

In the character recording memory 1, character data of characters required for issuing a receipt is recorded in advance. The input data determination means 3 determines whether the input data is a character print command or fee data.

[0008] In the print processing means 4, when a character print command is issued by the input data determination means 3, the receipt entry characters are sequentially read from the character recording memory 1 and printed by the printer 2. If the input data determination unit 3 determines that the data is fee data, the print processing unit 4 reads characters related to the fee data from the character recording memory 1 and causes the printer 2 to print the characters.

As described above, before the fee is fixed, the characters written in the receipt are printed in advance, and after the fee is determined, the characters that cannot be printed unless the fee, date, and fee are determined are printed. The number of characters to be printed is reduced, and the time required to issue a receipt after the fee is fixed is greatly reduced.

2, and a print processing unit 13 for printing by the printing unit 2. A receipt / non-receipt switch 14 instructs issuance of a receipt or a non-receipt.

The I / O 15 receives a taxi meter (not shown) from a taxi meter (not shown), a business signal indicating that the tariff of the taxi meter has been set to rent or surcharge, a payment signal indicating that the tariff has been set to be paid, and rental fee data. Is entered. As shown in FIG. 5, the receipt / non-receipt switch 14 is composed of a receipt switch and a non-receipt switch, and issues a receipt when the receipt switch is turned on and issues a receipt when the receipt switch is turned on.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the process S1, the input data determination unit 12
Determines whether the data input via the I / O 15 is a print command or fee data. If the command is a print command, the process proceeds to step S2, and if the data is fee data, the process proceeds to process S3.

The input data determination unit 12 determines whether the data is a print command or toll data. The data from the taxi meter (not shown) input via the I / O 15 includes two signals, a business signal line and a payment signal line. Two signal lines are connected from the taxi meter to the receipt issuing device. When the tariff of the taxi meter is set to business, a business signal is received from the taxi meter, and when the tariff is paid, a payment signal is received from the taxi. .

Therefore, in the input data judgment section 12,
Based on the input signal, it is determined that the data is a print command if a business signal is received, and that the data is fee data if a payment signal is received. When the passenger gets on the vehicle and the crew sets the tariff of the taxi meter to hire, first, the process S2 is executed.

In step S2, the print processing unit 13 sequentially reads out the last line of characters from the character recording memory 1 in accordance with a predetermined receipt format, and prints up to the line that cannot be printed unless the fee is fixed. Printing is performed by the container 2. For example, if the receipt issue format is as shown in FIG. 4, first, the character data corresponding to the company address and telephone number in the last column is read from the character recording memory 1 and printed by the printer 2, and then the last The company name in the second column, followed by a comment,
Print the car number.

In the fifth column from the end, the fee is printed. Therefore, if the input data determination unit 12 determines that the print command is issued, if the receipt format is as shown in FIG. The printer up to the line is printed by the printer 2. That is, FIG.
As shown in (1), printing is performed sequentially from the last line of the receipt to one line before the fee printing line.

When printing in step S2 is completed, step S1
And waits for data to be input from the I / O 15 next. When the crew arrives at the destination requested by the customer and pays the tariff of the taxi meter, the taxi meter outputs toll data.

[0018] Toll data from the taxi meter is I / O1
5, the input data is determined to be the charge data in the process S1, and the process proceeds to the process S3. In the process S3, the print processing unit 13 records the input fee and date data in the memory 11.

In step S4, the print processing unit 13 determines whether the command from the receipt / unreceivable switch 14 is a receipt issue command or a non-receipt issue command. In S5, if it is a non-receivable note issuance command, the process proceeds to S6. In the process S5, the print processing unit 13
As shown in (A), the charge and date data recorded in the memory 11 are read out, printed by the printer 2, and finally, the characters "receipt" are printed, and the process proceeds to step S1, where the next receipt is performed. Prepare to issue books.

In the process S6, the fee and the date are printed in the same manner as the process S5. Finally, "unreceivable note" is printed, and the process shifts to the process S1 to prepare for issuing the next receipt. Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Although the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the printing device 2 in the first embodiment cannot print again on the line once printed. As the printing device 2 of the embodiment, a printing device capable of restoring a previously printed column and printing again is used.

In step S11, the input data determination unit 12
Determines whether the data input via the I / O 15 is a print command or charge data. If the print command is a print command, the process proceeds to step S12. If the data is a charge data, the process proceeds to step S13. That is, the processing S11 is the processing S1 of the first embodiment.
The same processing is performed.

In step S12, the print processing unit 13 reads out the receipt entry characters from the character recording memory 1 and prints them out by the printing unit 2 in accordance with a predetermined receipt format, except for characters that cannot be printed unless the fee is fixed. Let it. That is, if the format of the receipt is as shown in Fig. 4, "receipt" of "receipt (un) receipt" excluding "territory" or "not yet", "date year month month day" In the column, “Charge Yen” and all subsequent characters are printed.

When printing is completed, the process proceeds to step S11 where I /
Wait for the charge data from O15 to be input. Processing S
At 13, when the charge data is input from the I / O 15,
The print processing unit 13 records the input fee and date data in the memory 11.

In step S14, the print processing unit 13 determines whether the command from the receipt / non-receipt switch 14 is a receipt issue command or a non-receipt issue command. If it is a receivable issue command, process S1
Move to 6. In process S15, the print processing unit 13
As shown in (A), the fee and date data recorded in the memory 11 are read out and printed on the printer 2, and when the printing is completed, the process proceeds to step S11 to prepare for issuing the next receipt.

That is, in the process S15, the paper printed by the printer 2 is returned, and the "territory" in the first column, "5 4 13 8:58" in the date column, and "$ 351"
"0" is printed. Further, in the process S16, the fee and the date, and “Non” of the receivable are printed as in the process S15.

In the second embodiment, if it is determined in step S11 that the print command is issued, all the characters except for the characters that cannot be printed unless the fee is fixed are printed. The printing may be performed by excluding a column including a character which cannot be printed unless it is later, and the column excluding after the charge is determined may be printed.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications in accordance with the gist of the invention are possible.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. Before the fee is fixed, the characters written on the receipt are printed in advance, and after the fee is determined, the characters that can be printed only after the fee, date and fee are fixed are printed, so the number of characters printed after the fee is fixed is reduced and the fee is fixed The time required for post-receipt issuance is greatly reduced.
