Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the work accompanied with revision of a fare by inserting a magnetic card, where revised fare data is recorded, to a device to read it. CONSTITUTION:When a magnetic card 1 where new fare data is recorded is read by a read/write device 3-1 before revision of the fare, data is stored in a buffer memory and is displayed on a display device. When new fare data is correctly set and a data set button 3-4 is depressed, data is stored in a main memory 3-2, and setting of new fare data is terminated. When a prepaid card 2 is used, data of the amount of money on the prepaid card is rewritten based on new fare data.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a fare collection system for transportation facilities, etc. (prior art) In transportation facilities such as Hashu, passenger The new fares that have been changed must be collected.

In addition, recently, prepaid cards are being used to collect bus fares, and passengers can insert their prepaid cards into the fare collection device installed inside the bus, and the amount information such as the remaining amount on the prepaid card can be rewritten. It is being done.

In such cases, data changes due to fare revisions can be made using the ROM (read only memory) in which fare data is stored in the fare collection device.
This was done by replacing the fare collection device, or by setting the fare dial switch installed in the fare collection device.

However, in such conventional fare collection,
This required complicated work such as replacing the ROM and setting the toll dial switch.

(Invention or Problem to be Solved) As mentioned above, in the case of conventional fare revisions, setting new fare data has the problem of requiring complicated work such as replacing the ROM or setting the fare dial switch. there were.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fare collection system that allows fare data to be easily changed in the case of fare revision.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the toll collection system of the present invention is a toll collection system equipped with a fare data card and a toll collection device, wherein the toll collection system includes a fare data card and a toll collection device. The data card records fare data indicating the fare for each section, and the fare collection device includes a fare data card reading means for reading the fare data recorded on the fare data card, and a fare data card reading means for reading the fare data recorded on the fare data card. The vehicle is characterized by comprising a fare collection means for collecting a predetermined fare from passengers based on fare data read by the passenger.

(Function) In the toll collection system of the present invention, the fare data card on which fare data is recorded is read by the fare data cart reading means of the toll collection device.

Therefore, in the case of fare revision, fare data can be easily changed.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the fare collection system of the present invention is applied to bus fare collection.

As shown in the figure, the fare collection system of this embodiment includes a magnetic card 1 on which fare data is recorded, a prepaid card 2 owned by a passenger, and a fare collection device 3 installed inside the bus. It is composed of.

The magnetic card has written therein the fare corresponding to the section and new fare data D code such as the implementation L1 of the new fare indicating when the new fare will be implemented.

Further, the prepaid card 2 records amount data D2 such as the remaining amount.

Further, the fare collection device 3 includes a read/write device 3-1 capable of reading new fare data D1 recorded on the magnetic card 1 and reading/writing amount data D2 recorded on the prepaid card 2. , a main memory 3-2 for storing fare data D1 of the magnetic card 1 read by the read/write device 3-1, and a read/write device 3-2.
A display device 3-3 that displays data read by the write device 3-1, a data set button 3-4, a data clear button 3-5, a υ-do write device 3-1,
The main part is constituted by a main memory 3-2, a control section 3-6 that controls the display device 3-3, and accepts inputs from the data set button 3-4 and the data clear button 3-5.

Next, the operation of the toll collection system configured as described above will be explained.

This section explains the operation when the fare is revised.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart 1 showing the operation of setting new fare data.

As shown in the figure, first, prior to fare revision, the magnetic card 1 on which new fare data D1 is recorded is inserted into the read/write device 3-1. (Step 20) At the same time, the new fare data D recorded on the magnetic card 1
] is read by the read/write device 3-1, and this new fare data D] is stored in a buffer memory (not shown) in the read/write device 3-1. (Step 2
02) Then, the magnetic card 1 is ejected from the read/write device 3-1, and the new fare data D1 is displayed on the display device 3-3. When the data is on the display screen, it is possible to display all the data by scrolling.

(Step 203. Display the new fare data D1 on the display device 3-3.
Confirm by the display, and if the new fare data D1- has been set correctly, press the data set button 3-4. Then, the new fare data D1 stored in the buffer memory in the read/write device 3-1 is transferred to the main memory 3-2 and stored therein.

(Steps 205 and 206) If the new fare data D] is not set correctly, the data clear button 3-5 is pressed. Then, the new fare data D1 stored in the buffer memory in the read/write device 3-1 is cleared. 1 and returns to step 201.

(Steps 205.207) In this way, the setting of the new fare data D1 is completed.

Next, a case in which passengers board a bus and pay a fare will be explained.

In this case, the prepaid card 2 is inserted into the read/write device 3-1 of the fare collection device 3 by the passenger. The amount data D2 of the prepaid card 2 is then rewritten based on the new fare data D], and the prepaid card 2 with the rewritten amount data D2 is returned to the passenger.

In this way, in the fare collection system of this embodiment, when the fare is revised, the new fare data can be input simply by inserting and confirming the "magnetic card on which the new fare data is recorded." The work will become easier with the revision.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the fare collection system of the present invention, when the fare is revised, the new fare data is entered after inserting the magnetic card and confirming it. The work will become easier with the revision.
