Description of Preferred Embodiment of Invention
As can be seen in FIG 1, a central computer 10 controls the driver licence system by being linked to a plurality of driver licensing facilities 12a, 12b ....12n, a plurality of central bank credit card payment facilities 14a, 14b ....14n, and a plurality of local police stations 11a, lib ....lln. A plurality of driver licenses 13a, 13b ....13n are issued at each licensing facility 12 to drivers (not illustrated) . Policing officers (not shown) associated with each local police station 11 carry hand held driver licence readers 15a,
15b, 15n which can operate independently in a manner subsequently to be described and which cooperate in a manner to be described with the system at each local police station 11.
The system uses a secure smart card as the driver's licence. Features offered by the use of smart card include : - secure, encrypted electronic storage of licence and driver information in the card electronic storage of visual image in the card chip - this cannot be overwritten or copied thus preventing fraud other facilities on the card include :- - payment of traffic infringements on the spot from pre paid value on the card payment of parking charges from pre paid value on the card renewal date for licence - storage of vehicle registration details, including major vehicle component serial numbers to assist in control and prevention of theft enhancement of future expansion, this system allows for considerable expansion of data in both the card and the readers Other aspects of the invention include : - central computer system for entry of driver and licence details in the card and the central database. Payment of initial licence fee. central image system for storage of image in the smart chip and for placement of a physical image on the card - this includes digitising and compression software readers in registry, police stations, police vehicles, hand held readers for police officers on foot, for reading licence details and for displaying the driver's image where required - these could be fixed or portable. These readers also capable of taking payments, readers for parking meters banks set up with readers for taking cash and placing credit on cards. Licence renewal fees can be paid at banks . The bank computers modem transaction information to central police office. As can be seen in FIGS 2, 3 and 4, local Police Stations have: - Central Computer
- Terminals connected to card readers
- Modem to connect with the central office computer
- Serial port on computer to connect to portable readers and down load transaction data from hand held reader to computer
The station computer will enable local police officer and driver information to be stored and accessed. Information will be taken from cards through the readers into the computer. Transaction data is downloaded from the portable reader to the station computer. Terminals can be used for standard office work as well as reading data to and from the readers.
Hand Held readers illustrated in FIGS 5 and 6 are used by police officers in cars and on foot. These enable police to verify authenticity of a driver licence on the spot - after insertion of a licence card in the reader, the owner's facial image and details will be shown on the display allowing positive ID. Fines can be paid for on the spot by debiting the relevant amount from the card. Each transaction is stored in the reader with the driver's details, amount and the officers details. In use the following steps are followed :- . Officer inserts his card Enter PIN If PIN incorrect:
Display shows "incorrect re-enter PIN" 4 chances, if still wrong card ejected . If PIN correct:
Display shows "transaction approval" Driver's licence card can now be inserted Facial image and details are displayed on the screen for verification If a fine is to be imposed the amount is entered and the card debited
All details are stored in the reader (officer ID, driver ID, type and amount of fine)
Transaction data is down loaded from the hand held reader into the station computers at the end of shifts.
Data cannot be lost from the hand held reader until downloading has occurred and been verified by the computer .
FIG 7 is a detailed schematic block diagram of an operating system for a driver licence scheme utilising a number of licence card readers 20 in accordance with the invention. A driver licence card 21 includes data processing assembly 22 having a central processor or digital processing device 23 and data storage means 24 for storing identification data 25, image data 26 and credit data 27. Interface 28 provides communication between licence card 21 and licence reader 20.
Licence reader 20 includes a data processing assembly 41, user interface assembly or interface unit 29, and receiving means 30 for receiving a licence card 21.
Data processing assembly 41 is controlled by a central processor 31 and includes data storage means 32 for storing credit data 33 and licence data 34. A user interface assembly 29 includes input means in the form of keypad 35 and information display means 36. Display means 36 is driven by video driver 40 to generate an on screen image of the face of the driver to whom the licence card was issued. Receiving means or keyslot 30 includes an interface 37 for providing communication with a licence card 20. Interface means 38 is adapted to provide communication between licence card reader 20 and communication bus 39 for communication with the central computer assembly.
As seen in FIG 8, the card issue process involves a number of steps including :-
Issue Card to staff Operator - Enter operator detail at terminal Take picture of staff member
All data and image files sent to central data base
Image and relevant data sent to printer - Data entered into smart card chip and printed on card
Card given to operator Issue Card to Driver
Enter Driver's details at terminal - Take picture of driver
All data and image files sent to central data base
Image and relevant data sent to printer
Data entered into smart card chip and printed on card
Card given to driver For a driver licence transaction an operator must "log-on" with an authorised smart card in the operator reader before they can access a terminal . The following driver licence transactions are then enabled: -
Credit to card - a cash amount given to the Operator is added to the card
Credit taken off card - this may be for a fine paid, a parking fee or a tollway fee.
As seen in FIG 9 which illustrates a central bank card payment facility the following steps can occur :- Teller logs on to terminal with authorised card. . A driver's card is entered in the user's terminal. To add credit :
Users pays cash
This amount is credited to card by the teller The transaction information is stored in the bank's computer which contains driver details and card number, teller's card number, cash amount paid, date, time and bank details. Banks are connected via modem to the central police office and all transaction data is sent to the police. The system and apparatus of the present invention have a number of advantages over known systems . In addition to those indicated above these include a reduced potential for corruption by policing officials due to the removal of cash from the system by allowing the imposition and payment of fines by direct debit to the licence card.
It will of course be realised that whilst the above has been given by way of an illustrative example of this invention, all such and other modifications and variations hereto, as would be apparent to persons skilled in the art, are deemed to fall within the broad scope and ambit of this invention as is herein set forth.
