Is as follows.

The user of the parking control system receives a self-recording parking ticket from the parking ticket issuing machine, parks the vehicle, performs business, and after finishing the business, goes to the parking fee automatic payment machine to settle the parking fee.

At this time, the parking fee will be guided through the guidance device in the automatic payment machine. For example, the front display device 12 displays a guide for injecting a parking ticket to the user, and the voice guide device 13 outputs the guide voice. Accordingly, the user inserts the parking ticket in the parking ticket slot provided at the front of the door. ①②

The parking ticket recognition device 4A of the parking ticket processing apparatus 4 imports the parking ticket to be input, inquires the record contents, and transmits the inquiry contents to the central processing unit 1. The central processing unit 1 is installed in the main board 19, which issues a parking ticket storage waiting command to the parking ticket processing device 4 and transmits parking fee data to the front display device 12. ③④⑤

Accordingly, the front display device 12 displays the parking fee, and the user recognizes the parking fee charged and inputs the corresponding amount into bills or coins. At this time, the coin sorting device 2 and the bill identifying device 3 calculate the amount of coins and bills to be input.

The central processing unit 1 compares the total amount of money input with the amount displayed on the front display device 12, and if it is determined that more than the displayed amount, i.e., the charged amount, is input, the central processing unit 1 prohibits the receipt of the order to the banknote identification device 3. Then, if necessary, a change issuance command is issued to the change dispensing device 8 or the bill dispensing device 9, and the change is disbursed. ⑨⑩⑪

Thereafter, the central processing unit 1 calculates the parking ticket, stores the settlement contents in the internal memory device, and issues a parking ticket conveyance command to the parking ticket processing apparatus 4. Thereby, the parking ticket which was waiting for storage in the parking ticket processing apparatus 4 is carried out to the outside. ⑫⑬

At this time, when the user requests a receipt using a specific button, the central processing unit 1 controls the audit recording device 11 of the receipt issuing device 10 to issue a receipt. The receipt issuing device 10 is a receipt issuing device for external output among the receipt issuing device for internal storage and receipt issuing device for external output. ⑭⑮

For reference, in the above description, the parking fee is settled using a self-recording parking ticket as an example. However, when a credit card is inserted, the parking fee can be settled by communicating with the outside through the modem 14.

On the other hand, the manager checks the normal operation in regular or emergency in order to efficiently manage the parking fee automatic checkout. At this time, the inspection mode is set using the data setting board 5 installed in the checker, and each part is sequentially selected and operated. The process thereof will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

When the administrator opens the door of the parking fee automatic payment machine and inputs the inspection key using the data setting board 5 as shown in FIG. 3, the input / output unit is input from the inspection mode processing unit 1C of the central processing unit 1. After detecting the key signal through (1A), check mode is set to check the normal operation of each part as follows.

First, the inspection mode processing unit 1C outputs display information related to the inspection mode menu screen to the liquid crystal display device 5A which is integrally installed with the data setting board 5 through the input / output unit 1A. As a result, the inspection mode menu screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5A.

In this state, the administrator sets the item to be checked using the direction key and the setting key.

For example, when a change item is set by the user and the change to be dispensed is set, the check mode processing unit 1A drives the change device 8 or the bill dispenser 9 as in the usual operation mode. The set change is dispensed.

When the card reader operation item is set in the above, the check mode processing unit 1A drives the card reader installed in the parking ticket processing apparatus 4 as in the normal operation mode to check whether the normal operation is performed.

When the receipt issuance item is set, the check mode processing unit 1A drives the receipt issuing device 10 as in a normal operation mode, and a receipt of a fee set by the administrator is issued.

When the administrator checks the normal operation of the desired part through the above process and presses the cancel key, the CPU 1 displays the message 'thank you' and releases the check mode.

If the inspection operation item is not set by the administrator, the system waits for a predetermined period of time and then terminates. In the end, the operation of each unit in the inspection mode is the same as the operation normally performed, but only for the user. The difference is that it operates according to the operation mode or the instruction set. Therefore, the present invention can be implemented without any difficulty based on the above-described technical configuration and inspection procedures.

As described in detail above, the present invention can contribute to the efficient management of the automatic automatic parking fee checker by allowing the administrator to check the normal operation while setting the check mode and selecting the change dispenser, the card reader, the receipt issuer, etc. It has an effect.
