Embodiment Construction

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a communication unit 1 (hereinafter referred to as COM) used in the present invention. COM1 includes a memory 2 connected to a control unit 3 . The control unit 3 is connected with a radio unit 4 for wireless communication with the receiver terminal and a connector unit 5 for wirebound communication with the personal terminal through a connector 6 . The battery 7 provides power for the various components. COM 1 may include indicators 8 in the form of LEDs or display panels to indicate operations or other parameters.

[0023] COM 1 may be a passive device that requires power only during certain activities.

[0024] The control unit 3 controls the activity of COM 1. The control unit also controls the power supply from the battery 7 in order to save battery power as much as possible.

[0025] COM 1 is designed to be as cheap as possible. Thus, the control unit 3 can be configured as a logic array or a conventionally fabricated integrated circuit with only...

Abstract

A method and system for paying and verifying fees for a service, such as a parking fee. A communication unit, COM, is loaded with a message, such as the fact that a fee has been paid for the service. The message comprises identification information about a receiver intended for receiving the message. The communication unit is polled by a receiver terminal having a receiver terminal identification information. The message is received provided that the receiver identification information agrees with the receiver terminal identification. The message is loaded to the communication unit by a personal terminal. The content of the message is in itself proof to its authenticity. A variety of methods can be used depending on the level of security required in any specific application, e.g. codes, encryption and cryptographic signatures.

A metered parking meter is a device that is located near a parking lot and that accepts coins. When a coin is inserted, the dial advances and counts down the time corresponding to the payout time. Parking kiosks are set up to deliver a paper parking ticket indicating a prepaid time that is placed in a visible place inside the vehicle, such as behind the windshield. Parking kiosks can accept credit cards and issue a ticket indicating that the credit card has been used. When the parking is over, the user inserts the credit card a second time and the parking fee is charged to the credit card account. [0003] The disadvantage...
