Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily reserve a vacant parking lot which is closest to a specific store. SOLUTION: A communication connection is established in step S51, a parking reservation condition and a store ID are inputted in step S52, and the store ID is retrieved in step S53, when it is decided in step S54 that the store ID is registered, the parking lot closest to the store is retrieved in step S55 and the parking lot reservation condition and store ID are sent in step S56. When it is decided in step S58 that a parking lot cannot be reserved and it is decided in step S59 that there is another parking lot nearby the store, the process is put back to step S56. When the parking lot can be reserved, a parking reservation DB is updated in step S60 and the reservation result is sent in step S61. If the store ID is not registered or if there is no other parking lot, a message showing that no parking lot can be reserved is sent in step S62. In step S63, the communication connection is cut off.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, a parking lot management system, and a recording medium. A nearby parking lot can be reserved, and a parking space corresponding to the type of vehicle to be parked can be reserved, and the parking lot management side can prevent unauthorized parking of users other than users using a predetermined store, For example, the present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a parking lot management system, and a recording medium that can reliably collect a usage fee even when a reservation is canceled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a store used by a user does not have a dedicated parking lot, the user himself has to search for a parking lot near the store used by the user. The fee structure of each parking lot is determined for each parking lot,
Whether the parking lot is empty or full is managed by the number of parkings relative to the number of parkable parking lots in the parking lot.

[0003] Reservation of a parking lot has been performed by a user contacting each parking lot using, for example, a telephone. In addition, even when the user reserves a parking space in a parking lot in advance, management of only the number of vehicles is often performed.

[0004] Further, depending on the contract between the store and the parking lot, some parking spaces in the parking lot may be dedicated to the store.

[0005]

For example, a user searches for an empty parking lot as close as possible to a store to be used while actually traveling in the city or referring to a map.
Very difficult. Therefore, when the store does not have a dedicated parking lot, it takes time for the user to search for a parking lot. For example, a user who wants to avoid the trouble of searching for a parking lot will preferentially use a store having a dedicated parking lot. It is conceivable that the store does not have a dedicated parking lot, which may be an obstacle to customer acquisition.

[0006] In addition, when there are few empty parking spaces in the found parking lot, the user has to travel in the parking lot and search for an empty parking space. Furthermore, when the empty parking space is narrow, large vehicles cannot be parked, and although they have entered the parking lot, they may not be able to park.

[0007] When a parking space is reserved in advance, the user himself / herself must check a parking lot close to the store before making a reservation. Even in this case, it is very difficult to find a vacant parking lot as close as possible to the store in use.

[0008] When some parking spaces in the parking lot are made exclusive parking spaces for the store in accordance with the contract between the store and the parking lot, the store is required to pay for the time when vehicles are not parked in the contracted parking space. Even have to pay for parking in the parking lot. In addition, if more users than the number of parking spaces try to use the parking lot, it cannot respond. Furthermore, if the store and the parking lot are separated,
It is difficult for a store to manage a parking space, and it is difficult to prevent a vehicle using another store from parking in a parking space dedicated to the store without permission.

Further, when a parking space is reserved in advance and an unauthorized cancellation occurs, the parking lot manager or the store has no means for collecting the parking fee from the user who has made the unauthorized cancellation. Since the parking space cannot be used by other users,
There was a problem that the operating rate of the parking lot became worse.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and when a user reserves a parking lot, the user can reserve a parking lot close to the store where the user is using the parking lot, and can deal with the type of vehicle to be parked. Can reserve a parking space
The parking lot management side can prevent unauthorized parking of a user other than the user who uses the predetermined store, and can surely collect the usage fee even if the reservation is canceled.

Is 0001 and the reservation number is 12345, FIG.
In the parking reservation DB 143 described using 0, a new
The reservation number 12345 is added, and the reservation number 1234 is set based on the parking lot reservation conditions input in step S34.
5. Since the user ID 1001, the reserved parking lot ID 0001, and the reserved time 11:30 are registered, the parking reservation DB 1

At step S421, the same processing as at step S51 in FIG. 28 is executed.

In step S 422, the CPU 31 of the personal computer 21 of the parking lot general management center 1 executes the parking lot reservation system 11 via the communication network 2, the network interface 40, the input / output interface 32, and the internal bus 33. Step S4 of 72
In step S423, the internal bus 33,
With reference to the parking reservation DB 24 via the input / output interface 32 and the network interface 40, a reservation number corresponding to the parking lot reservation cancellation information is searched.

[0306] In step S424, the CPU 31 refers to the parking reservation DB 24 via the internal bus 33, the input / output interface 32, and the network interface 40 to calculate the parking fee from the reservation time to the current time. In S425, based on the calculation result in step S424, the parking fee is settled and the uncleared log is stored in the HDD 38 via the internal bus 33 and the input / output interface 32.

[0307] In step S426, the CPU 31 updates the parking reservation DB 24 via the internal bus 33, the input / output interface 32, and the network interface 40. For example, when the reservation number for which the reservation has been canceled is 12345, the parking reservation DB 24 described with reference to FIG. 29 is changed to the state before the reservation is made, that is, the state of FIG.

In step S427, CPU 31
Transmits the reservation number and the parking lot reservation cancellation information to the personal computer 51 of the parking lot management center 6 corresponding to the parking lot ID via the internal bus 33, the input / output interface 32, and the network interface 40.

If it is determined in step 5 that a signal indicating the completion of reservation cancellation has not been received, the process of step S455 is repeated until it is determined that a signal has been input.

If it is determined in step S455 that a signal indicating the completion of reservation cancellation has been received, in step S456, the CPU 31 determines whether the network interface 40, the input / output interface 32,
Then, it is determined whether or not a signal indicating the completion of the reservation cancellation is received from the parking space control unit 63 via the internal bus 33. If it is determined in step S456 that the signal indicating the completion of the reservation cancellation has not been received, the process of step S456 is repeated until it is determined that the signal has been input.
