Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of taxi meters, and in particular to a novel vehicle-mounted taximeter system capable of realizing dual-screen interaction based on USB direct connection. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two main approaches to installing taxi onboard taximeters. The first involves collaborating with the vehicle manufacturer, providing the manufacturer with the required onboard meter specifications in advance. The manufacturer then creates a mold with the required installation space. The second involves measuring the parameters of the central control panel of the desired taxi model and then sending these parameters to the onboard meter manufacturer for custom mold creation. Both approaches have drawbacks. Custom mold creation by the vehicle manufacturer and the onboard meter manufacturer incurs additional costs. Furthermore, since the original central control panel is removed when the onboard meter is installed, this results in reduced functionality and a reduced driver experience. Therefore, a solution that eliminates the need to compromise vehicle functionality or maintain multiple onboard meter specifications to accommodate different taxi models is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new type of vehicle-mounted meter system that can realize dual-screen interaction based on USB direct connection, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a new vehicle-mounted taximeter system capable of realizing dual-screen interaction based on USB direct connection, comprising:

[0005] A USB cable, a new intelligent connected car machine, a meter + invoice printer, a bus card reader, a ceiling light, a DMS camera and a DVR camera;

[0006] Among them, the USB cable is used to directly connect the original car's central control screen and the new intelligent network car machine. The USB cable serves as a transmission medium for data exchange between the original car's central control screen and the new intelligent network car machine. The new intelligent network car machine is used to connect to the original car's central control screen. The new intelligent network car machine serves as an external device to provide the original car with taxi fare supporting capabilities.

[0018] Step 9: After arriving at the destination, swipe to the pick-up point in the driver app and enter the settlement page. The meter app will now enter the stop metering interface and the dome light will switch to the standby state.

[0019] Step 10: After confirming the payment method, initiate the bill in the driver app. After the passenger pays, the bill will be displayed. The meter and invoice printer will print the complete itinerary information.

[0020] Step 11: In the order completion interface, if the driver chooses to continue accepting orders, he will return to the homepage to continue receiving orders. If he chooses to rest, he will return to the homepage and return to the homepage.

[0021] Preferably, the driver-side APP is used by drivers to place orders, and has functions such as face recognition login, order creation, order placement, navigation, payment initiation, revenue details, heat map, charging station map, temporary parking lot, radio, driving recorder, and reversing image;

[0022] The meter-side APP displays the driver's electronic operating permit information, the vehicle's inspection and compliance status, supports viewing the status of the meter + invoice printer, and supports dynamic price adjustment;

[0023] The screen projection sending end APP is used to collect the current car computer's screen data, supporting the screen data source for multi-screen interaction;

[0024] The screen projection receiving end APP is used to receive the screen of the new intelligent network-connected car machine transmitted by the screen projection sending end APP, and at the same time monitor the touch events of the original car's central control screen, giving the original car's central control screen the ability to control the new intelligent network-connected car machine;

[0025] The IOV APP is used for driving trajectory reporting and video extraction reporting;

[0026] The OTA APP is used to upgrade the system and applications;

[0027] The meter + invoice printing all-in-one machine is used to print the trip information such as boarding / disembarking time, unit price, mileage, waiting time, amount and electronic adjustment.

[0028] Preferably, the payment method for initiating payment includes bus card payment, QR code payment, payment pushed to the ordering APP, and cash payment.

[0029] Preferably, the driver-side APP and the meter-side APP will be displayed on the same screen, corresponding to the left half of the screen and the right half of the screen respectively.

[0030] Preferably, the driver-side APP and the meter-side APP can continue to make orders when the device is offline, and when the device restores the network, the order will be automatically synchronized to the background.

[0031] Preferably, after the interface of the projection receiving end APP switches to other interfaces of the original car's central control screen, if there is no operation within 5 seconds, it will automatically switch back to the original interface.

[0032] Preferably, the face recognition login and code scanning login methods provided in the login interface of the driver-side APP can be configured in the background.

[0033] Preferably, the fare information in the meter-side APP, including unit price, low-speed fee, and floating fare during peak hours in the morning and evening, can be configured in the background.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] The present invention can convert an ordinary vehicle with an Android system central control screen into an operational taxi without simplifying the original vehicle's large screen and customizing the central control screen area, thereby reducing the vehicle modification cost and improving the operating efficiency of the taxi company.
