DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram for explaining the basic configuration of the taxi operation information collection device 10 of the present invention.

The taxi operation information collecting device 10 collects various kinds of information (particularly tariff status information) about the taxi meter 20 to determine the operation state, and collects the operation time based on the determination result. And Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 3, it has an encoding means 12, a tariff judging means 14, an operation time measuring means 16 and a storage means 18.

The encoding means 12 has a function of generating the status information 122a for classifying the tariff status from the taximeter 20 while being connected to the taximeter 20.

Here, the tariff state means, for example, a renting tariff operating state, a high-speed tariff operating state, or a paying tariff operating state. It should be noted that the high-speed tariff operation status occurs during the rental tariff operation, and the rental tariff operation status and the payment tariff operation status do not occur at the same time.

That is, by providing the encoding means 12 capable of classifying the tariff states by using the logical operation, it is input for each signal of the tariff states such as the fare running tariff running state, the high speed tariff running state and the payment tariff running state. The effect that there is no need to individually provide the ports is provided. As a result, even if the tariff status signal increases in addition to the renting tariff operation status, high-speed tariff operation status, and payment tariff operation status, it is necessary to increase the number of ports according to the increase in the tariff status signal. In addition, the number of ports can be reduced. Furthermore, even when changing tariff status signals such as fare tariff operation status, high-speed tariff operation status, payment tariff operation status, etc., it is necessary to add new ports in response to the change in tariff status signal. In addition, the number of ports can be reduced.

Further, the encoding means 12 has a logic circuit 12 having a function of logically classifying tariff states and generating state information 122a.

Specifically, the logic circuit 12 has a logic element OR section 124 and an input interface section 122, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the logic element OR unit 124, when connected to the taximeter 20, outputs a high-speed tariff signal 20b for a high-speed tariff operation state and a payment tariff signal 20c for a payment tariff operation state. It has the function of logical operation.

As shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable that the logic element OR section 124 uses a 2-input logic element OR. In this case, the high-speed tariff signal 20b and the payment tariff signal 20c are logically ORed with the taximeter 20 connected.
A logical operation output signal 124a is generated by performing an operation.

Specifically, the logic element OR section 124 generates the logical operation output signal 124a having the logical value L when at least one of the high speed tariff signal 20b and the payment tariff signal 20c has the logical value L. . Further, when both the high-speed tariff signal 20b and the payment tariff signal 20c have the logical value H, the logical operation output signal 124a having the logical value H is generated.

The input interface section 122 is connected to the taximeter 20, and the logic element OR section 12
It has a function of converting the logical operation output signal 12a of 4 and the renting tariff signal 20a concerning the renting tariff operation state into state information 122a for transmitting to the next stage.

Specifically, the input interface section 12
2 is a logical OR of the fast tariff signal 20b and the pay tariff signal 20c, in which the renting tariff signal 20a has the logical value H.
When the result of the calculation is the logical value L, the state information 1 for executing the measurement of the operation time in the rent tariff operation state
22a is generated.

Further, the input interface section 122 is

Status information 122a
Is being generated.

Further, the input interface section 122 is
In order to perform the operation time measurement in the pay tariff operation state when the renting tariff signal 20a is the logical value L and the result of the logical OR operation of the high speed tariff signal 20b and the paying tariff signal 20c is the logical value H. The state information 122a is generated.

It is assumed that the high-speed tariff signal 20b is generated at the time of running the tariff tariff, and that the tariff tariff signal 20a and the payment tariff signal 20c are not generated at the same time (specifically, the logical value H does not occur). There is.

In other words, by providing the logic circuit 12 capable of classifying the tariff states by using the logical operation using the logical element OR section 124, the input port and the input interface circuit of the input interface section 122 are set for each tariff state signal. This has the effect of eliminating the need to provide each individually. As a result, even if the number of tariff status signals increases, there is no need to add the number of ports or input interface circuits in correspondence with the increased number of tariff status signals.
It is possible to reduce the number of ports and the input interface circuit. Even when changing the tariff status signal, it is not necessary to add a new port or an input interface circuit in response to the change in the tariff status signal, and the number of ports and the input interface circuit can be reduced. There is an effect that it becomes possible.

More specifically, the operating time measuring means 16 determines that the fare tariff signal 20a is the logical value H and the result of the logical OR operation of the high speed tariff signal 20b and the pay tariff signal 20c is the logical value L. In addition, according to the measurement command 14a for measuring the operation time in the rent tariff operation state, the operation time is measured in the rent tariff operation state and the measured operation time data is stored.

Further, the operating time measuring means 16 determines that the fare tariff signal 20a has the logical value H and the high speed tariff signal 20a.

In addition to the effect described in any one of the items 1 to 4, the provision of the tariff determination means brings about an effect that an appropriate operation time measurement can be automated according to the state information. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the driver in the operation management work and to avoid the collection of incorrect operation information due to the driver's operation error.

According to the invention of claim 6, claim 1
In addition to the effect described in any one of 5 to 5, by providing the operating time measuring means, it is possible to automate the appropriate operating time measurement according to the state information and the data storage of the measured operating time. Has the effect of becoming. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the driver in the operation management work and to avoid the collection of incorrect operation information due to the driver's operation error.

According to the invention of claim 7, claim 1
In addition to the effect according to any one of 6 to 6, by providing a detachable storage means, data storage of the measured operation time can be performed at a place different from the place where the taxi operation information collecting device is provided. It also has the effect that it can be managed at any time. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the operation manager and the driver in the operation management work.

According to the invention of claim 8, claim 7
The same effect as the effect described in (1) is achieved.

According to the invention of claim 9, claim 1
The same effect as the effect described in any one of 8 to 8 is obtained.

According to the invention of claim 10, the same effect as that of claim 9 can be obtained.
