OPINION
The invention
The disclosed invention is a system of personalized
communication between a post (such as a toll booth) and moving
bodies (such as vehicles travelling a toll road). The invention
is concerned with transmitting identification signals from the
moving bodies to the post.
The post initiates communication with an initialization
signal at a certain time. Each moving body has an intrinsic code
with a duration value associated with it. The moving body
responds to the initialization signal with a transmission
occurring at the end of a duration related to the duration value.
The transmission is of an identification signal.
The identification signal comprises a datum corresponding to
the duration value. In a preferred embodiment, the
identification signal is a specific character used to define the
duration. Specification at 3, lines 9-19. A character may be
digital, alphabetical, or alphanumerical, for example.
Specification at 3, lines 23-29. The moving body could send the
first character of its intrinsic code or it could send another
type of identification signal that is appropriate to it.
Specification at 10, lines 2-5.
