In the warehousing / delivery management of the vehicle 4 with respect to the parking lot 3, for example, monitoring of which user has warehousing the vehicle 4 in which parking lot 3 and receiving a warehousing request from the user in the parked vehicle 4 are executed. NS.

The parking lot gate 8 includes an entrance gate 23 that passes when entering the parking lot 3 and an exit gate 24 that passes when exiting the parking lot 3. The entrance gate 23 includes a gate control unit 25 that controls the operation of the entrance gate 23 and a wireless authentication device 27 that executes authentication through short-range wireless communication with the terminal 5 (the entrance gate 23 side is referred to as “27a”). , A gate bar 28 provided at the entrance of the parking lot 3 is provided. The wireless authentication device 27a includes an authentication unit 29 that executes authentication through short-range wireless communication with the terminal 5 at the time of warehousing, and a short-range wireless antenna (hereinafter referred to as a short-range wireless antenna) that transmits and receives radio waves conforming to short-range wireless communication from the terminal 5 near the entrance. , Antenna 30). The gate control unit 25 and the authentication unit 29 may be connected by either wire or wireless.

At the time of warehousing of the vehicle 4, the authentication unit 29 authenticates the terminal 5 with the terminal 5 of the user who gets on the vehicle 4 via the antenna 30. The authentication executed at the time of warehousing is linked to the authentication of the key information Dk (key information Dk for warehousing) given from the server 16 to the terminal 5 through network communication, the pairing of the short-range radio (bluetooth communication), and the key information Dk. It is preferable that the authentication includes at least one of confirmation of correctness of encrypted communication by another predetermined encryption key. The key information Dk is preferably a one-time key that is permitted to be used only once or for a certain period of time, and is delivered to the terminal 5 through a predetermined procedure before warehousing.

Like the entrance gate 23, the exit gate 24 includes a gate control unit 33 as a system control unit 32, a wireless authentication device 27 (the entrance gate 23 side is referred to as “27b”), and a gate bar 36. The wireless authentication device 27b includes an authentication unit 37 and a short-range wireless antenna (hereinafter referred to as an antenna 38), similarly to the wireless authentication device 27a on the entrance gate 23 side. The antenna 38 transmits / receives radio waves conforming to short-range wireless communication from the terminal 5 near the exit. The gate control unit 33 and the authentication unit 37 may be connected by either wire or wireless. The system control unit 32 corresponds to the gate control device.

When the vehicle 4 is delivered, the authentication unit 37 authenticates the terminal 5 with the terminal 5 of the user who gets on the vehicle 4 via the antenna 38. The authentication executed at the time of delivery is linked to the authentication of the key information Dk (key information Dk for delivery) given from the server 16 to the terminal 5 through network communication, the pairing of the short-range radio (bluetooth communication), and the key information Dk. It is preferable that the authentication includes at least one of confirmation of correctness of encrypted communication by another predetermined encryption key. The key information Dk is preferably a one-time key that is permitted to be used only once or for a certain period of time, and is delivered to the terminal 5 through a predetermined procedure at the time of delivery. It is preferable that the key information Dk for warehousing is a key different from that for warehousing. The authentication unit 37 permits or executes the gate opening operation of the exit gate 24 when the authentication with the terminal 5 through the short-range wireless communication is established.

The management system 6 includes a settlement unit 42 that calculates and setstles the usage fee of the parking lot 3 at the time of delivery. The settlement unit 42 is provided in the server 16. At the time of warehousing, the terminal 5 performs short-range wireless communication with the wireless authentication device 27a of the entrance gate 23, and switches the gate bar 28 of the entrance gate 23 to the open state. At this time, if the terminal 5 is required to perform authentication, the key information Dk registered in the terminal 5 is authenticated. At the time of warehousing, the terminal 5 transmits the warehousing information Sa notifying the warehousing to the parking lot 3 to the server 16 via network communication. The settlement unit 42 registers the usage start time of the user who uses the parking lot 3 based on the warehousing information Sa received from the terminal 5.

Further, when the settlement unit 42 receives the settlement request Sb to the effect that the user desires settlement (delivery) from the terminal 5 through network communication, the settlement unit 42 executes the settlement process of the usage fee. The settlement request Sb may be any information as long as it can determine the user's intention to issue the goods. When the settlement unit 42 receives the settlement request Sb from the terminal 5, the settlement unit 42 confirms the time when the user of the terminal 5 who has sent the settlement request starts using the parking lot 3 from the warehousing information Sa of the same user, and confirms the usage start time. The usage fee for the parking lot 3 is calculated from the elapsed time from to the end time of use. The settlement unit 42 causes the user to settle the usage fee by displaying the usage fee on the display unit 12 of the terminal 5. The usage fee may be settled by either a credit card or electronic money.

As shown in FIG. 2, the entrance gate 23 and the exit gate 24 are arranged close to each other when the entrance and exit of the parking lot 3 are arranged side by side. In this case, the gate control unit 25 of the entrance gate 23 and the gate control unit 33 of the exit gate 24 may be directly connected by a cable or the like. Further, both the entrance gate 23 and the exit gate 24 may have a structure in which a set of the gate control unit 25 (33) and the wireless authentication device 27 are shared.

In the case of this example, the exit gate 24 is provided with a settlement machine 43 so that the usage fee can be settled in cash. In this way, when the usage fee is paid by the terminal 5, if the balance of the credit card, the prepaid card, or the like is insufficient, the usage fee is settled by inserting cash into the settlement machine 43. The antenna 38 of the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 is arranged on the upper surface of the checkout machine 43 of the exit gate 24. In the case of this example, the settlement of the usage fee is the settlement before the gate in which the vehicle 4 is moved in front of the gate of the exit gate 24, the short-range wireless communication with the wireless authentication device 27b is started, and then the settlement operation is performed on the terminal 5. Is preferable.

As shown in FIG. 3, the antenna 30 on the entrance gate 23 side transmits radio waves having a specified directivity (radio waves for short-range wireless communication). Further, having a specified directivity includes that the half-value angle α of the radio wave is within the specified range. As described above, the antenna 30 generates the communication area E (the entrance gate 23 side is referred to as “E1”) of the radio wave of the short-range wireless communication by the pencil beam narrowed in a specific direction.

The parking lot 3 is provided with an object detection unit 45 that detects the existence of the vehicle 4 as a vehicle 44 on which the user rides. In the case of this example, the object detection unit 45 is, for example, a loop coil 46 embedded in the ground. The loop coil 46 of this example is embedded in the ground in front of the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24. When the loop coil 46 detects the vehicle 4, the loop coil 46 outputs the detection signal S1 to the gate control unit 33. The detection area R of the loop coil 46 corresponds to, for example, an area along the outer edge of the loop of the loop coil 46.

In the antenna 38 on the exit gate 24 side, the communication area E2 for radio wave transmission is formed to be larger than the detection area R of the object detection unit 45. That is, the communication area E2 for short-range wireless communication of the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b is formed larger than the detection area R of the vehicle 44 by the object detection unit 45. By doing so, the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24 must be located on the loop coil 46 after the settlement through the short-range wireless communication between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b is completed. Do not open.

Next, the operation of the management system 6 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.
As shown in FIG. 4A, when the vehicle 4 leaves the parking lot 3 and the vehicle 4 is driven in front of the exit gate 24, the terminal 5 has entered the communication area E2 of the wireless authentication device 27b. And. Advertisements are periodically transmitted from the antenna 38 of the wireless authentication device 27b as radio waves in the communication area E2, and when the terminal 5 enters the communication area E2 of the advertisement, the terminal 5 receives the advertisement at that timing. .. As a result, short-range wireless communication is started between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b.

FIG. 5 illustrates a communication sequence of short-range wireless communication executed between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b. As shown in the figure, in step 101, the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 periodically and repeatedly transmits an advertisement for notifying information related to communication of the own machine when the parking lot 3 is open. Advertisement is a type of radio wave for the wireless authentication device 27b to notify the surroundings of the existence of its own device.

In step 102, when the terminal 5 receives the advertisement transmitted from the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24, the terminal 5 executes a scanning process for reading the advertisement.
In step 103, after the scanning process, the terminal 5 transmits a connection request for connecting the short-range wireless communication to the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 through the short-range wireless communication in order to perform pairing with the wireless authentication device 27b. ..

In step 104, when the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 receives the connection request from the terminal 5, the response notification to the connection request is transmitted to the terminal 5 via short-range wireless communication.

In step 105, when the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b can confirm the pairing through the exchange of the connection request and the response notification, the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b shift to the state of the communication connection, that is, the state in which the Bluetooth communication is connected.

In step 106, when the short-range wireless communication is in the communication connection state, the terminal 5 transmits a settlement request Sb requesting the start of settlement of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 to the server 16 through network communication. The settlement request Sb preferably includes user information such as a user ID and password set at the time of user registration, for example.

In step 107, when the settlement unit 42 receives the settlement request Sb from the terminal 5, the settlement unit 42 executes the settlement process for obtaining the charge required for using the parking lot 3. In the case of this example, the settlement unit 42 first confirms the use start time (receipt time) of the user who wishes to issue the goods by comparing the user information included in the settlement request Sb with the receipt history. Then, the settlement unit 42 calculates the usage time of the parking lot 3 from the usage start time (receipt time), and calculates the usage fee from the usage time.

When the settlement unit 42 calculates the usage fee, the settlement unit 42 executes the settlement with the amount. In the case of this example, the settlement unit 42 calculates a credit card associated with the user information and setstles the usage fee of the parking lot 3 from the credit card. When the payment of the usage fee is completed, the settlement unit 42 may display the fact that the payment is completed on the display unit 12 of the terminal 5.

In step 108, when the payment of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is completed, the settlement unit 42 generates the key information Dk (key information Dk for leaving the parking lot) required at the time of leaving the parking lot, and uses this key information Dk for network communication. Through, the settlement request Sb is transmitted to the output terminal 5. It is preferable that the key information Dk includes a usage period (delivery possible time) of the key information Dk, a unique ID of the terminal 5, a predetermined session key used for short-range wireless communication communication, and the like. Further, it is preferable that the key information Dk distributed at this time is a key different from the key information Dk distributed at the time of warehousing.

In step 109, when the terminal 5 receives the key information Dk (key information Dk for delivery) from the server 16, the terminal 5 stores the key information Dk in the memory 13.
In step 110, when the terminal 5 receives the key information Dk (key information Dk for delivery) from the server 16, the terminal 5 authenticates the key information Dk with the wireless authentication device 27b. At this time, for example, if the key information Dk can be correctly decrypted, the authentication is established. When the key information Dk can be correctly decrypted, various information included in the key information Dk (usable period of the key information Dk, terminal ID, predetermined session key, etc.) can be acquired. By going through the above procedure, the correctness of the terminal 5 is confirmed.

When the authentication with the terminal 5 shifts to the establishment of the authentication, the wireless authentication device 27b outputs an authentication establishment notification S2 indicating that fact to the gate control unit 33. As a result, the gate control unit 33 recognizes that the legitimate terminal 5 that has been settled exists in front of the gate. The series of authentication communications performed between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b ends before the vehicle 4 reaches the loop coil 46. Also, at this point, the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24 is still kept closed.

As shown in FIG. 4B, when the vehicle 4 further advances toward the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24, the vehicle 4 reaches above the object detection unit 45, that is, the loop coil 46. When the loop coil 46 detects the vehicle 4 (specifically, the metal of the vehicle body), the loop coil 46 outputs the detection signal S1 to the gate control unit 33. When the object detection unit 45 inputs the vehicle body detection detection signal S1 while the authentication establishment notification S2 is acquired from the wireless authentication device 27b, the gate control unit 33 opens the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24 at this timing. ..

In the case of this example, the authentication (including the settlement process) through the short-range wireless communication between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b is completed before the vehicle body is detected by the object detection unit 45. Therefore, since the gate bar 36 is opened immediately when the vehicle 4 reaches the front of the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24, the gate bar 36 on the exit side can be opened immediately without a waiting time.

As shown in FIG. 6, in step 201, when the gate bar 36 is opened, the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 transmits a gate open response notifying that effect to the terminal 5 via short-range wireless communication. .. It is preferable that the gate open response is encrypted with the session key obtained by decrypting the key information Dk and transmitted.

In step 202, when the terminal 5 receives the gate open response from the wireless authentication device 27b, the terminal 5 notifies the user that the delivery has been completed, for example, by displaying a message that the exit gate 24 has opened on the display unit 12.

In step 203, the terminal 5 transmits the delivery information Sc notifying that the delivery is completed to the server 16 through network communication after the operation of the completion of delivery. It is preferable that the issue information Sc includes user information relating to the user who has exited the parking lot 3. The user information is preferably, for example, a user ID, a password, a terminal ID, or a combination thereof.

In step 204, when the usage management unit 20 of the server 16 receives the shipping information Sc (user information) transmitted from the terminal 5, the usage history of the parking lot gate 8, that is, the shipping history of the vehicle 4 is registered. As the delivery history, for example, the user ID, password, terminal ID, etc. of the user who performed the delivery operation are recorded in association with the usage end time (delivery time).

FIG. 7 illustrates an operation flow that summarizes the operation flow of the management system 6 of this example. As shown in the figure, in step 301, the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 transmits a radio wave of short-range wireless communication in front of the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24 to form a predetermined communication area E2. .. In the case of this example, the wireless authentication device 27b forms the advertisement communication area E2 in front of the gate bar 36 by periodically transmitting the advertisement.

In step 302, the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 determines whether or not the terminal 5 has entered the communication area E2 of the short-range wireless communication. When the wireless authentication device 27b receives the connection request for short-range wireless communication in response to the transmitted advertisement, the wireless authentication device 27b recognizes that the terminal 5 exists in the communication area E2. If it is determined that the terminal 5 has entered the communication area E2, the process proceeds to step 303, and if it is not determined that the terminal 5 has entered the communication area E2, the process returns to step 301.

In step 303, the wireless authentication device 27b of the exit gate 24 determines whether or not the settlement of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is completed. In the case of this example, when the authentication of the key information Dk is established between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b, it is determined that the settlement of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is completed. If it is determined that the settlement of the usage fee has been completed, the process proceeds to step 304, and if it is determined that the settlement of the usage fee has not been completed, the process proceeds to step 307.

In step 304, the gate control unit 33 of the exit gate 24 determines whether the vehicle 4 is detected by the object detection unit 45 of the exit gate 24, that is, whether the vehicle 4 exists on the loop coil 46. When the detection signal S1 is input from the loop coil 46, the gate control unit 33 determines that the vehicle 4 is on the loop coil 46. If it is determined that the vehicle 4 is on the loop coil 46, the process proceeds to step 305, and if it is not determined that the vehicle 4 is on the loop coil 46, the process proceeds to step 306.

In step 305, the gate control unit 33 of the exit gate 24 opens the exit gate 24 when the settlement of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is completed and the vehicle body is detected by the loop coil 46. As a result, the gate bar 36 is opened immediately when the vehicle 4 reaches the exit gate 24 in front of the gate, so that the vehicle 4 can smoothly exit from the parking lot 3.

On the other hand, in step 306 and step 307, when the gate control unit 33 of the exit gate 24 does not complete the settlement of the usage fee of the parking lot 3 or does not detect the vehicle 4 by the loop coil 46, the gate bar 36 of the exit gate 24 Keep closed. Therefore, the gate bar 36 can be kept in the closed state under the condition that the condition for leaving the parking lot 3 is not satisfied.

According to the management system 6 of the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Communicating the user's terminal 5 through short-range wireless communication with the wireless authentication device 27 (27b) provided in the parking lot 3 shared by a plurality of people, and the vehicle when using the parking lot 3. The condition for the gate operation is that the object detection unit 45 detects that the user has located the vehicle 4 in the field in front of the parking lot gate 8 (in this example, the exit gate 24) through which the 4 passes. It was set as management system 6. In this management system 6, the communication area E (E2) of the short-range wireless communication of the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27 (27b) is set larger than the detection area R of the vehicle 4 by the object detection unit 45.

According to the configuration of this example, the communication area E2 of the short-range wireless communication of the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b is made larger than the detection area R of the object detection unit 45, so that there is a space between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b. When the settlement is performed through short-range wireless communication, it is possible to complete the settlement of the end of use before the vehicle 4 is detected by the object detection unit 45. Therefore, it is possible to operate the exit gate 24 at the timing when the vehicle 4 is detected by the object detection unit 45 after the settlement of the end of use is completed. Therefore, the gate operation can be performed at an appropriate timing, so that convenience can be improved.

(2) The object detection unit 45 is a loop coil 46 embedded in the ground. In this case, the loop coil 46 embedded in the ground can easily detect whether or not the vehicle 4 has reached the front of the gate.

(3) Through short-range wireless communication between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b, the usage fee required for using the parking lot 3 is settled, and the vehicle 4 on which the user who has completed the settlement on the terminal 5 rides is an object. When the detection unit 45 detects it, the gate operation is executed. In this case, the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is settled first, and then the exit gate 24 is operated at the timing when the vehicle 4 is detected by the object detection unit 45, so that the usage fee of the parking lot 3 is settled. It is possible to smoothly shift from to gate operation.

(4) The key information Dk used for authentication with the wireless authentication device 27b is registered in the terminal 5 when the settlement at the end of use is completed normally. The system control unit 32 (gate control unit 33) that controls the operation of the parking lot 3 (parking lot gate 8) establishes the authentication of the key information Dk through short-range wireless communication between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b. As a condition, the gate operation is executed. Therefore, unless the key information Dk (key information Dk for delivery) is given to the terminal 5, the operation of termination of use cannot be executed in the parking lot 3, so that unauthorized use of the parking lot 3 can be made less likely to occur.

(5) Facility 1 is a parking lot 3. When the system control unit 32 (gate control unit 33) confirms that the authentication of the key information Dk through the short-range wireless communication between the terminal 5 and the wireless authentication device 27b is established, the exit gate of the parking lot 3 24 is opened. Therefore, unless the key information Dk (key information Dk for leaving the garage) is given to the terminal 5, the exit gate 24 of the parking lot 3 cannot be opened and operated by the terminal 5, so that unauthorized exit can be prevented from occurring. ..

In addition, this embodiment can be implemented by changing as follows. The present embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
