The tallying computer 7 takes in the tallying data from the settlement machine 3 in real time or periodically at a predetermined number of days, and collects and charges the service amount of the parking fee discount for each store 4. . Then, the total data is printed as a billing slip by a printer 8 connected to the total computer 7, and sent to each store. After that, when payment confirmation from each store is obtained, "paid" is input to the tallying computer 7, and billing of the service fee of the parking fee discount to each store 4 is completed. When there are a plurality of settlement machines 3, all of them are connected to the tallying computer 7 via a public line 26 or the like.

Next, the operation of the parking fee discount settlement system configured as described above and the parking service writing device used therein will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the operation of the ticket issuing machine 2 at the entrance in the parking lot 1 shown in FIG. 1 operates in the same manner as a conventionally known one. That is, a vehicle is detected by an entrance detector 9 such as a loop coil buried on the road surface at the entrance of the parking lot, the entrance time is taken in, and the parking ticket 10 as shown in FIG. Issue. At this time, the entry date and time are stored in the first magnetic recording unit 11a on the back of the parking ticket 10 as shown in FIG.
Magnetically written as parking data. For example, the entry date and time is "10:23 on June 10".

In this state, after the vehicle is parked in the parking lot 1, the customer carries the issued parking ticket 10 and moves to the required store 4 for shopping. The operation of the parking service writing device 5a in the store 4 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the customer presents the shopping receipt and the parking ticket 10 to the attendant, and offers to receive the parking service. Then, the attendant looks at the payment amount of the receipt and determines according to the parking service conditions shown in FIG.
For example, if the purchase is at least 2,000 yen and less than 3,000 yen at store A, the selection switch “2” of the parking service writing device 5a is turned on. Thereby, step S
1 proceeds to the “YES” side. At this time, the identification code of the store A is “01”, the discount time is 2 hours, and the service code is “2”.

Next, the clerk of the store 4 inserts the parking ticket 10 into the parking ticket insertion slot of the parking service writing device 5a. Thereby, the step S2 proceeds to the "YES" side. Next, the parking service writing device 5a captures the data of the service code specified by the selection switch (step S).
3). Further, the service data recorded in the second magnetic recording section 11b of the inserted parking ticket 10 is read (step S4). Here, it is determined whether there is service data of the previous parking fee discount recorded on the parking ticket 10 (step S5). If it is the first shopping, there is no service data, so go to “NO” side and enter step S6.

In this case, the memory in the calculation / control section 21 of the parking service writing device 5a is cleared (step S).
6) The service code “2” of the identification code “01” of the store A and the discount time “2 hours” corresponding to the current payment amount is
It is set as service data for the current shopping (step S7). Then, assuming that the service is the first parking fee discount service based on the service data set in the memory, as shown in FIG. Is stamped and marked (step S8). Or, FIG.
As shown in (a), “2” of the stamp frame 25 of the discount time
A stamp as an identification mark may be displayed at the “time”.

Then, the service data of this time is shown in FIG.
In the second magnetic recording unit 11b shown in (b), as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the area in block 1 corresponds to "01" as the identification code of store A, and the area corresponds to the current payment amount. "2" is written as a set as a service code for the discount time "2 hours" (step S9). In this state, the parking ticket 10 is returned to the customer (step S15).

In step S5, if the purchase is the second or later shopping and the previous service data exists, "Y"
Go to ES ”side and enter step S10. For example, the first shopping is 2000 yen or more and 3000
It is assumed that the purchase is less than yen, and the second purchase is a purchase of 3000 yen or more and less than 4000 yen in another store B. In this case, first, the previous service data "0
"1" and "2" are set as a set in the memory in the calculation / control unit 21 of the parking service writing device 5a (step S).
10). Next, as the current service data, the identification code “02” of the store B and the service code “3” of the discount time “3 hours” corresponding to the current payment amount are set as a set in the memory (step S11). .

In this state, the arithmetic and control unit 21 adds the discount time up to the previous time and the current discount time (step S12) to obtain a discount time "5 hours". Then, it is assumed that the service is a service of the second parking fee discount from the two service data set in the memory, and FIG.
As shown in FIG.
A stamp as an identification mark is stamped and marked at "time" (step S13). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6B, a stamp as an identification mark may be displayed at “5 hours” in the stamp frame 25 of the discount time.

Thereafter, the service data up to the previous time and the current service data are stored in the second magnetic recording unit 11b shown in FIG. 2 (b), and as shown in FIG.
Is written as a set of "01" as an identification code and "2" as a set of service codes of a discount time "2 hours" corresponding to the previous payment amount in the area. Is written as a set of "3" as the service code of the discount time "3 hours" corresponding to the current payment amount in the area (step S14). In this state, the parking ticket 10 is returned to the customer (step S15). Thus, the processing of the parking service writing device 5a ends.

Assuming that shopping is completed in the above state, the operation of the settlement machine 3 at the exit when returning to the parking lot 1 shown in FIG. 1 and leaving the parking lot 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, when a vehicle leaving the parking lot 1 advances to the exit, the departure detector 15 is turned on. Then, the signal from the departure detector 15 is input, and the settlement machine 3 captures the exit date and time of the vehicle (step S21). The exit date and time, for example, “13:41 on June 10” is the end point of the parking time. Next, when the customer inserts the parking ticket 10 into the parking ticket insertion slot of the checkout machine 3, the step S22 becomes "Y".
Go to ES ”side.

Next, the payment machine 3 reads the parking data recorded in the first magnetic recording section 11a of the inserted parking ticket 10 (step S23). Then, the entry date and time “10 June 10” recorded in the first magnetic recording unit 11 a is described.
23:23 ”and the exit date and time“ 13:41 on June 10 ”, the parking time and the parking fee are calculated (step S2).
4). As a result, if the parking time is 3 hours and 18 minutes, and the parking fee is, for example, 200 yen per 30 minutes, 1400
It is a circle. Here, it is determined whether there is service data of the parking fee discount recorded in the parking ticket 10 (step S25). As described above, if the user has shopped at stores A and B and received the parking fee discount service, there is service data available, so the process proceeds to “YES” and enters step S26.

Then, the discount time given in each store A, B, etc. is added (step S26). For example, two hours at store A and three hours at store B are added, and the discount time is “5 hours”. In this state, the discount amount is calculated and the charge is recalculated (step S27). In other words, the discount amount for the discount time “5 hours” is 2,000 yen, and the result of the charge recalculation is a parking fee of 1,400 yen−the discount amount of 2,000 yen = −600 yen, which is a negative amount. Will be charged 0 yen. If the result of the charge recalculation is a positive amount, that amount is the parking fee borne by the customer. The payment machine 3 receives the money input from the customer (step S28), checks the amount, and completes the payment (step S29).

Next, the service amount proportional to the ratio of the discount time for each store A, B, etc. is calculated and totaled (step S30). In the above example, the actual parking fee when shopping at stores A and B is 1,400 yen, the total discount time is 5 hours, and the discount time granted at store A is 2 hours. Is 1400 yen × 2 / (2 + 3) = 560 yen. Further, since the discount time given at store B is 3 hours, the service amount for store B is 1400 yen × 3 / (2 + 3) = 840 yen.

In the above description, the service amount for the parking fee is calculated. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the ratio of the service time to the parking time may be calculated. In this case, the actual parking time of 3 hours and 18 minutes may be converted into minutes, and 198 minutes may be allocated to the stores A and B. Since the discount time given at store A is 2 hours, the service time for store A is 198
Minute × 2 / (2 + 3) ≒ 79 minutes. In addition, since the discount time granted at store B is 3 hours, the service time for store B is 198 minutes × 3 / (2 + 3) ≒ 119 minutes.

Next, the service amount and the service time obtained as described above are stored in the totaling memory as settlement data (step S31). For example, as for the store A, as shown in FIG. 7A, the number of services is 1, the service amount is 560 yen, and the service time is 1 hour and 19 minutes in the column of service 2. For store B, see FIG.
As shown in (b), the number of services 1, the service amount 840 yen, and the service time 1 hour and 59 minutes are recorded in the column of service 3. In addition, such calculation of the settlement data for each store can be performed in a large number of stores, for example, 255 stores or more, depending on the capacity of the totaling memory.

Thereafter, the exit bar 17 of the exit switch 16 shown in FIG. 1 is opened, whereby the vehicle exits the parking lot 1, and the vehicle detector 18 detects the passage of the vehicle, and the vehicle exits the parking lot 1. The exit is determined (step S32).

On the other hand, in step S25, the parking ticket 10
If it is determined that there is no service data of the parking fee discount recorded in step S33, the process proceeds to “NO” and the process proceeds to step S33. In this case, there is only the parking fee corresponding to the actual parking time calculated in step S24, and that amount is the parking fee borne by the customer. The payment machine 3 receives the input money from the customer (step S33), confirms the amount, and completes the payment (step S34). Then, in a state where there is no service data of the parking fee discount, it is stored in the aggregation memory as adjustment data (step S31). After that, the exit bar 17 of the exit switch 16 is opened, whereby the vehicle exits the parking lot 1, and the vehicle detector 18 detects the passage of the vehicle to determine exit from the parking lot 1 (step S32). ). Thereby, the processing of the settlement machine 3 ends.

Next, the operation of the tallying computer 7 performed in a state where the settlement data is stored in the tallying memory of the settlement machine 3 as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, payment data is transmitted from the payment machine 3 shown in FIG. In this state, the tallying computer 7 determines whether there is settlement data (step S41), and if so, proceeds to the "YES" side to enter step S42. Then, the settlement data sent from the settlement machine 3 is fetched (step S42). In the settlement data at this time, the contents of the service provided for each of the stores A and B are recorded, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B described above.

Next, based on the acquired settlement data,
The service amount is totaled for each store A and B and stored (step S43). At this time, the aforementioned FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b)
As shown in (1), the contents of the services provided for each of the stores A and B are totaled, the number of services, the service amount, and the service time are calculated as the total service and written into the memory. Then, at a predetermined time of the day, the data of the service total is read out and stored in the file of the totaling computer 7 as data of the service amount for one day (step S4).
4).

The operation shown in FIG. 10 is based on the fact that the public line 26 and the like between the tallying computer 7 and the settlement machine 3 are always in a connected state, and the settlement data is sent to the tallying computer 7 in real time for each settlement. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this.
The settlement data from the settlement machine 3 may be taken in.

Next, in FIG. 11, the counting computer 7 determines whether or not the billing date is a predetermined billing date, for example, once a month (step S51).
The process proceeds to ES "side and enters step S52. Next, the service amount for one month for each store A and B is totaled (step S52). That is, the settlement data shown in FIGS. The total is calculated for one month for each store A, B. Then, the total data is stored in a file for each store A, B (step S53).

Next, the service amount to be paid for each of the stores A and B is calculated (step S54). That is, with respect to the payment data for one month, the billing amount is calculated by multiplying the service amount of 560 yen by, for example, 0.8 as a discount rate in the store A. 560 yen × 0.8 = 448 yen Alternatively, a parking fee corresponding to 79 minutes of service time at the store A is calculated, and this is multiplied by, for example, 0.8 as a discount rate to obtain a billing amount. 79 minutes x 200 yen / 30 minutes x 0.8 $ 421 yen

In this state, a billing slip is printed for each of the stores A and B using the printer 8 shown in FIG. 1 (step S5).
5) Ship to destinations A and B. And each store A,
When the payment from B is made, it is confirmed that the money has been paid, and the paid data is input by a keyboard or the like (step S56). Thus, the processing of the counting computer 7 ends.
