Abstract
A system for charge processing tolls and the like. A vehicle mounted device detects the position of a vehicle 32 using GPS, and transmits position information via a wireless channel to a central station. The central station performs charge processing (calculation) for an area in which a charge is applied based on the position of the vehicle, and transmits the charge to the vehicle mounted device. The vehicle mounted device collects a toll from a prepaid card or IC card or the like on the basis of the received charge processing result.
Claims9
A charge processing device comprising:
- detecting means for detecting position information indicating a position where a moving body is located on the basis of a received signal from a satellite;
- matching means for matching the position information with predetermined map information;
- setting means for, based on the map information, setting an area where a charge is applied which area corresponds to a predetermined area in the map information;
- receiving means for receiving toll data from a ground station including charge data, for each of a plurality of different moving body types determined on the basis of a size of the moving body type, relating to the area where a charge is applied;
- deciding means for, based on a result of a matching by the matching means, deciding an entry state indicating whether or not the moving body has at least entered into the area where a charge is applied;
- and
- generating means for generating, based on a result of a deciding by the deciding means, charge information for the moving body, by using the received toll data, wherein the area where a charge is applied is divided into sub-areas by substantially concentric circles, and a charge amount for each sub-area is set such that the closer a sub-area is to the center of the area where a charge is applied, the higher the charge amount becomes.
A charge processing device comprising:
- detecting means for detecting position information indicating a position where a moving body is located on the basis of a received signal from a satellite;
- a toll card capable of being inserted and removed for storing a predetermined geographical area in which a charge is applied which geographical area is set based on predetermined map information in correspondence with a predetermined area in the map information;
- generating means for, at a predetermined period, generating charge information for the moving body based on a result of a detection by the detecting means and the area in which a charge is applied stored in a loaded storage means, and
- wherein area information of the predetermined geographical area where a charge is applied is stored in the toll card and includes toll data showing that the predetermined geographical area where a charge is applied is divided into sub-areas by substantially concentric circles and a charge amount for each sub-area is set such that the closer a sub-area is to the center of the predetermined geographical area, the higher the charge amount becomes.
