The above object is achieved by a taxi card system in which the driver's card is written.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and this system is installed in a taxi.

In the figure, 1 is a card determination device that determines whether or not a passenger card 5 is adopted, 2 is a daily report creation device that creates daily report data written in a driver card 6, 3 is a fare calculation device that calculates a taxi fare, and 4 is a fare calculation device. This is a writing amount calculation device for writing a new amount to the passenger card 5.

The passenger card 5 is, for example, a magnetic card, and stores at least a card identification code and an amount of money. The card identification code and the amount of money are written before being issued to the card user, and the card user pays money to purchase the passenger card 5 in which the amount of money corresponding to the paid money is written.
That is, the passenger card 5 is a prepaid card. The card discrimination code of the passenger card 5 represents a taxi company or the like to which the card is applicable, and is used as discrimination data as to whether or not the card is a predetermined card.

The driver card 6 is, for example, an electrically rewritable EEPR.
This is an IC card composed of OM, and has a storage area for daily driving reports, a storage area for driver code, name, date, etc., and a storage area for reference data necessary for fare calculation. In the storage area of the daily driving report, a classification column in which data indicating that the user is a card user or a cash customer is stored, a boarding place / exiting place column in which a passenger's boarding place and alighting place are stored, and a passenger's boarding and alighting place are stored. Items such as a time column for storing time and a fee column for storing charges are prepared. The basic data required for the fare calculation includes a basic charge for first ride, additional charge per mileage, additional charge per hour, and additional charge. Data is written in the storage areas such as the driver code, the name and the date, and the storage area for the reference data necessary for the fare calculation before the flight. The reference data necessary for the charge calculation can be fixedly stored in the charge calculation device 3.

The driver's card 6 is set in the card reader / writer 7 for the driver's card when taking a flight, and is taken out at the end of the flight. When the driver card 6 is set, the card reader / writer 7 sends to the toll calculation device 3 the reference data necessary for the toll calculation and the driver's name, date, etc. necessary to create a receipt. These data are stored in the charge calculation device 3.

When the passenger gets on the vehicle, the boarding place data is input to the daily report creating device 2 via the boarding place / getting off place input device 8. The entry / exit location input device 8 has, for example, an entry / exit identification key and an area entry key. Then, the area is divided into, for example, a grid pattern, a different code is assigned to each area block, the code corresponding to the target area block is entered with the area input key, and the distinction between boarding and alighting is made with the identification key. Configured to enter. When the boarding place data is input, the boarding time data is converted into the daily report creation device 2 via the time output device 9.
Is taken into. The boarding place data and the boarding time data are temporarily stored in the daily report creating device 2 as daily report data.

The daily report preparation device 2 inputs the above-mentioned boarding place data and gives a fare calculation start signal to the fare calculation device 3. As a result, the fare calculation device 3 calculates the taxi fare for the travel distance and the time based on the time data of the time output device 9 and the distance data of the travel distance output device 10 in accordance with the previously stored reference data for the charge calculation. Start. The calculation fee is
Displayed on the display device 11.

When arriving at the destination, the entry / exit input device 8
The disembarking place data is input to the daily report creation device 2 via.
By the input of the disembarking place data, the disembarking time data is taken into the daily report creating device 2 via the time output device 9, and the disembarking place data and the disembarking time data are temporarily stored in the daily report creating device 2 as the daily report data. .

The daily report creation device 2 inputs the above-mentioned disembarking place data and gives a charge calculation end signal to the charge calculation device 3. As a result, the fare calculation device 3 stops the fare calculation and gives the taxi fare to the daily report creation device 2 and the written amount calculation device 4. The taxi fare given to the daily report creation device 2 is temporarily stored as daily report data, and the taxi fare given to the write amount calculation device 4 is temporarily stored as write amount calculation data.

If the passenger is a card user, the passenger card 5 owned by the passenger is inserted into the card reader / writer 12 for the passenger card. The contents of the passenger card 5 are input to the card determination device 1 through the card reader / writer 12, and it is determined whether or not the card is a predetermined card based on the card determination code of the passenger card 5, and the card 5 is adopted. Is determined.
If the card 5 is a predetermined card, it can be adopted, and the amount of money stored in the passenger card 5 is given to the writing amount calculation device 4, and a signal indicating that the user is a card user is given as the daily report creation device 2 and the charge calculation device 3. Given to. Daily report creation device 2
The signal indicating that the user is a card user is temporarily stored as daily report data indicating that the user is a card user, and
The signal indicating that the user is a card user, which is given to the fee calculation device 3, is temporarily stored as receipt creation data indicating that the user is a card user. On the other hand, if the card is not a predetermined card, a card return signal is sent from the card determination device 1 to the card reader / writer 12, and the card is ejected from the card reader / writer 12. Of course, it is possible to give an unusable display when the card is returned. If the card is not a predetermined card as described above, it will be treated as a cash customer described later.

When the stored amount of money for the passenger card 5 is given to the written amount calculation device 4, the written amount for the passenger card 5 is calculated based on this amount and the temporarily stored taxi fare.

If the stored amount on the passenger card> taxi fare,
The difference between the two is sent to the card reader / writer 12 as the written amount, and the above-mentioned difference is written to the passenger card 5 instead of the previously stored amount. The written difference is immediately read out and fed back to the written amount calculation device 4 to confirm its authenticity. If the read difference and the difference in writing match, the writing amount calculation device 4 gives a card return signal to the card reader / writer 12, and the passenger card 5
Is discharged to the outside. If the read difference and the written difference do not match, the difference is written again and the difference is matched. In this example, when the difference writing is not performed even if the difference writing is performed three times, for example, the writing amount calculation device 4 causes the display device 11 to display data indicating the writing operation failure of the card reader / writer 12, and the taxi fare, Display data indicating the amount of money stored in the passenger card 5 and the difference between the two is sent out. Along with this, the data indicating that the difference has been returned to the passenger in cash and the difference is sent from the writing amount calculation device 4 to the daily report creating device 2, and then the writing amount calculation device 4 writes the card to the card reader / writer 12. A recovery signal is sent, and the passenger card 5 is recovered in the recovery chamber of the card reader / writer 12 without being discharged to the outside. The difference return data given to the daily report creation device 2 and the difference amount are
It is temporarily stored as daily report data. In this case,
According to the display on the display device 11, the difference will be returned to the passenger in cash.

When the stored amount of the passenger card 5 = the taxi fare, display information to that effect is given from the write amount calculation device 4 to the display device 11 and a card recovery signal is sent to the card reader / writer 12. This allows passenger card 5
12 without being discharged to the outside
Will be collected in the collection room.

When the stored amount of the passenger card 5 is less than the taxi fare, the write amount calculation device 4 gives display information indicating the shortage amount to the display device 11 and at the same time sends a card recovery signal to the card reader / writer 12, The passenger card 5 is collected. The deficit will be paid in cash.

When the stored amount of the passenger card 5> the taxi fare, and the passenger card 5 is returned,
Prior to sending the card return signal, the difference written in the passenger card 5 is given to the fare calculation device 3, and when the stored amount of the passenger card 5 <taxi fare, prior to sending the card collection signal , The shortage amount is given to the daily report creation device 2. The difference amount given to the fee calculation device 3 is temporarily stored as receipt creation data, and the shortfall amount given to the daily report creation device 2 is temporarily stored as daily report data.

The written amount calculation device 4 sends a strobe signal to the daily report creation device 2 and the fare calculation device 3 when sending a card return signal or a card collection signal to the card reader / writer 12 for passenger cards.

The daily report creation device 2 sends the temporarily stored daily report data to the card reader / writer 7 for the driver card in response to the input of the strobe signal from the write amount calculation device 4. As a result, the card reader / writer 7 corresponds to the data indicating that the user is a card user, using the landing place data, the landing place data, the boarding time data, the landing time data, the taxi fare, the shortage charge allocated in cash, and the cash. Write the returned difference or the like in a predetermined field of the driver card 6.

The fare calculation device 3 receives a strobe signal from the write amount calculation device 4, and the taxi fare, the difference newly written in the passenger card 5 (only when the passenger card 5 is returned), the taxi company name, the driver The receipt creation data such as name and date is sent to the receipt issuer 13. The receipt issued by the receipt issuing device 13 is delivered to the passenger.

When the passenger is a cash customer, a cash customer signal is given to the daily report creation apparatus 2 and the fare calculation apparatus 3 via the cash customer input device 14. The cash customer input device 14 has, for example, a cash customer input key, and when this key is pressed, a cash customer signal is transmitted. When receiving the cash customer signal, the daily report creating device 2 sends the daily report data temporarily stored together with the data indicating that the customer is a cash customer to the card reader / writer 7 for a driver card. As a result, the card reader / writer 7
The daily report data is written in the driver card 5 in association with the data indicating that the customer is a cash customer. Further, the fee calculation device 3 inputs the cash customer signal and gives the receipt issuing device 13 receipt preparation data according to the data indicating that the customer is a cash customer.

In this way, the daily driving report is written in the driver card 6. The driver's card 6 is taken out from the card reader / writer 7 at the end of the flight and passed to the management department. In the management department, the driver card 6 is set in the card reader, and the contents thereof are input to the management computer for operation management and sales management. After inputting the data, the contents of the driver card 6 are cleared and used for the next use.

FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram, and FIG. 3 and FIG.
The operation | movement flowchart of the structure of a figure is shown.

In FIG. 2, the same symbols as in FIG. 1 indicate the same items.
The difference from the configuration of FIG. 1 is that the card determination device 1, the daily report creation device 2, the fee calculation device 3, and the written amount calculation device 4 are configured by a microcomputer 20. The operation of the configuration of FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4.

When the control program is started by turning on the power, it goes through initialization and waits for insertion of the driver card 6 into the card reader / writer 7 (step 30). When the driver card 6 is set in the card reader / writer 7, the contents of the driver card 6 are read into the microcomputer 20 via the card reader / writer 7 (step 31), and are required by the microcomputer 20 for charge calculation. The reference data and the like to be stored are stored, and the vehicle waits for input of the boarding place data (step 32).

If there is a passenger boarding, at that time, the driver inputs the boarding place data via the boarding place / getting off place input device 8. When the boarding place data is input, the boarding time data is fetched from the time output device 9 and is temporarily stored as daily report data together with the boarding place data (step 33).

Next, the calculation of the taxi fare is started, and based on the distance data of the mileage output device 10 and the time data of the time output device 9, the end of the initial fare, the fare addition per distance, the fare addition per hour, etc. are calculated. The calculated taxi fare is given to the display device 11 until the disembarking place data is input (steps 34, 35, 36).

When the vehicle arrives at the destination, the driver inputs the getting-off point data via the entry / exiting point input device 8. By entering the drop-off data, the calculation of taxi fare will be stopped,
After the taxi fare is temporarily stored (step 37), the getting-off time data is fetched from the time output device 9 and is temporarily stored as daily report data together with the getting-off place data (step).
38).

Then, it is determined whether the customer is a cash customer or a card customer (step 39). This determination is made based on whether or not a cash customer signal is input via the cash customer input device 14. If the passenger is a card user, the process proceeds to step 40 and the card processing shown in FIG. 4 is started.

In FIG. 4, at the start of the card processing, the card reader / writer 12 waits for the passenger card 5 to be inserted (step 401). When the passenger card 5 is inserted into the card reader / writer 12, the contents of the card 5 are read (step

If the taxi cannot be used, the process proceeds to step 404, and after the unusable display data is sent to the display device 11, the card return signal is sent to the card reader / writer.
12 (step 405). As a result, the inserted card is returned and handled as a cash customer, which will be described later.

On the other hand, if it is a predetermined card, the fact that it is a card customer is temporarily stored (step 406), and then the difference between the stored amount of the passenger card 5 and the taxi fare is calculated (step 407).

As a result of the difference calculation, if the stored amount of the passenger card 5 is greater than the taxi fare, the process proceeds to step 410 through steps 408 and 409, the difference data is sent to the card reader / writer 12 for the passenger card, and the data is sent via the card reader / writer 12 to the conventional one. The difference is written in the passenger card 5 instead of the stored amount.
The written difference is read in the next step 411, and it is determined whether the read difference is equal to the written difference (step 412). As a result, if they match, after the difference is temporarily stored, a card return signal is sent to the card reader / writer 12 (steps 413, 41).
4) and proceed to step 41 in FIG. Curdley drier 1
The passenger card 5 returned from 2 is returned to the user.

If the stored amount of the passenger card 5 is equal to the taxi fare as a result of the difference calculation, the process proceeds from step 408 to step 415, and after the display data indicating that the difference is 0 is sent to the display device 11, the card reader / writer 12 A card withdrawal signal is sent (step 416) to step 41 in FIG. When receiving the card collection signal, the card reader / writer 12 collects the passenger card 5 in a predetermined collection room.

If the stored amount of the passenger card 5 is less than the taxi fare as a result of the difference calculation, the process proceeds from step 409 to step 417, and the display data of the insufficient amount is sent to the display device 11, and
After the shortage is temporarily stored, step 416 is entered, the passenger card 5 is collected, and the process proceeds to step 41 in FIG. The deficit will be paid in cash.

In step 412, if the difference read from the passenger card 5 and the written difference do not match, the difference is written again after determining the number of times n of mismatch (step 418). In the present example, when the difference writing is inconsistent three times, the rewriting is no longer performed, and the stored amount of the passenger card 5, the taxi fare, and the difference between the two are sent to the display device 11 (step 419). ) Then, after temporarily storing data indicating that the difference has been returned to the passenger in cash (step 420), the process is returned to step 416 and the passenger card 5 is collected.

In step 41, the taxi fare, the difference newly written on the passenger card 5 (only when the passenger card 5 is returned), the taxi company name, the driver's name, the date, and the notation data indicating the card user Receipt creation data such as the above is sent to the receipt issuing device 13. Next, the daily report data for the driver, such as the temporarily stored boarding and alighting place data, boarding time and alighting time data, taxi fare, shortage amount, difference returned in cash, data indicating that it is a card user, etc. To the card reader / writer 7 (step
42), daily report data is written in a predetermined column of the driver card 6 via the card reader / writer 7. After writing to the driver's card 6, the process returns to step 32 and waits again for the entry of the boarding place data.

In the case of a cash customer, when a cash customer signal is given from the cash customer input device 14, the process shifts from step 39 to step 43, and the taxi fare, taxi company name, and driver name along with the notation data indicating that the customer is a cash customer. , Receipt creation data such as the date is sent to the receipt issuer 13. Then
The temporarily stored boarding point and exiting point data, boarding time and exiting time data, daily report data such as taxi fare, etc. are sent to the driver's card reader / writer 7 together with data indicating that the customer is a cash customer (step 44). After writing the daily report according to the cash customer, the process returns to step 32 and waits for entry of the boarding place data.

The driver card 5 is taken out at the end of the flight and the data is processed by the management computer as described in the previous embodiment.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to pay a taxi fare by using a card. Therefore, it is troublesome to handle change with passengers, and a large amount of cash is taxied.
