Abstract

A storage medium processing system includes a radio card, having a data storing function, for reading/writing data by a radio system, a read antenna for transmitting data read request signal to the radio card and for receiving read data, a processing means, having a processing queue area for registering write data in a memory area, for checking the data received from the read antenna and editing the write data, and a write antenna for transmitting the write data to the radio card and receiving write result data. Even when an order of vehicles entering into the booth, i.e., a reception order of vehicle data is not equal to an order to vehicles leaving the booth, i.e., a reception order of processed data, a process of writing the processed data into the radio card can be effected reliably and without omission.

Claims

1. A processing system for communicating with storage medium having memory means for storing data including identification code data and transmitting means for transmitting a response signal, comprising:

first receiving means for receiving data stored in each of storage medium;

means for updating said data received by said first receiving means;

means for storing a plurality of updated data updated by said updating means;

means for transmitting said updated data stored in said storing means sequentially;

second receiving means for receiving said response signal which is transmitted from said storage medium upon reception of said updated data including the same identification code as said identification code stored in said storage medium;

means for erasing corresponding updated data from said storing means based on reception of said response signal; and

means for controlling said transmitting means so as to transmit said plurality of identification code data and a plurality of amount data repeatedly.

2. A processing system for processing amount data received from a plurality of storage medium each of which is carried by a vehicle and stores identification code data, vehicle type code data and amount data, comprising:

first receiving means for receiving said identification code data, said vehicle type code data and said amount data from said plurality of storage medium;

means for subtracting a predetermined amount from said amount data in accordance with each of said vehicle type code data received by said first receiving means;

means for storing updated amount data obtained by the subtraction of said subtracting means together with said identification code data;

means for transmitting sequentially said plurality of identification code data and amount data stored in said storing means;

second receiving means for receiving said response signal which is transmitted from said storage medium upon reception of said updated data including the same identification code as said identification code stored in said storage medium;

means for erasing corresponding updated data from said storing means based on reception of said response signal; and

means for controlling said transmitting means so as to transmit said plurality of identification code data and said plurality of updated amount data repeatedly.

3. A processing system for processing amount data received from a plurality of storage medium each of which is carried by a vehicle and stores identification code data and amount data, comprising:

means for receiving said identification code data and said amount data from said plurality of storage medium;

means for subtracting a predetermined amount from said amount data;

means for storing a plurality of updated amount data obtained by the subtraction of said subtracting means together with said identification code data;

means for transmitting sequentially said plurality of identification code data and said amount data stored in said storing means;

second receiving means for receiving said response signal which is transmitted from said storage medium upon reception of said updated data including the same identification code as said identification code stored in said storage medium;

means for erasing corresponding updated data from said storing means based on reception of said response signal; and

means for controlling said transmitting means so as to transmit said plurality of identification code data and said updated amount data repeatedly.
