Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot commuter pass system suitable for use in, for example, a parking lot for a large condominium visitor or a parking lot in a large hospital, and a parking lot management system using this commuter pass.

  Conventionally, in a parking lot, there is a commuter pass (pass card) as a discount system for a parking lot that is free to enter and exit for any number of days within a set period and on the same day. The valid period start date is written in advance on the ticket, or the day when the commuter pass is issued after entering the parking lot becomes the valid period start date. Once the valid period start date is determined, the valid period end date is determined It will end up. Therefore, the effective period is a continuous day.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, as a service improvement means for users corresponding to social trends in which a weekly two-day system or a long-term holiday increases, it is used on a day that is used every day within a period of use of a commuter pass. A system for registering a scheduled use date on an unpredictable day and selling a commuter pass at a purchase price corresponding to the total number of days scheduled for use is described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the process of printing the consecutive night date 33 'and the cancellation line 34' to the consecutive night date 33 'excluding the entry date is performed, and the result of the check by the entry check means shows that date It is determined that this is the first use day of the commuter pass 30 If it is, the nights competed processing program for write processing a predetermined valid period and value date the day of days commutation ticket 30 is stored.

  FIG. 3 is an entrance flow for explaining the processing procedure for entering (entering) a vehicle into the parking lot 1 using the above-mentioned expiry date pass ticket 30 with the expiry date. When inserted in the machine 2, the determination of the type in step S2, the determination of the validity period in step S3, and the determination of the number of days in step S4 are sequentially performed. If all these determinations are YES, the process proceeds to step S5. The entrance gate 3 opens the gate bar 3G to allow entry of the vehicle, but if at least one NO is determined in steps S2 to S4, the entry prohibition process (display or sound) in step S9 is performed. Then, it progresses to step S8 and sends back the day pass ticket 30 to an insertion port, and complete | finishes a process.

  On the other hand, if admission is permitted in step S5, the process proceeds to step S6, where data rewriting processing such as setting the admission time, the number of days-1 and the validity period is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S7 (FIG. 6 ( After the printing of the strikethrough 34 on the past admission date 33 and the print processing of the current admission date (18 days in the drawing) as shown in B), the day commuter pass 30 is sent back in step S8 to perform the processing. Finish.

  FIG. 4 is an entry flow showing a processing procedure for making a vehicle appear (departure) from the parking lot 1 using the above-mentioned day commuter pass 30, and the day commuter pass 30 shown in step S 10 is inserted. If the type determination in step S11 is YES and it is determined in step S12 that it is a consecutive night, the process proceeds to step S13, the frequency and the expiration date for the consecutive night are determined, and if all are determined to be valid, the process proceeds to step S14. The data rewriting process for subtracting the number of consecutive days by proceeding is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S15, and as shown in FIG. Processing is performed to print the strikethrough 34 'on another date, leaving the last entry date (20 days in the drawing), and then the process proceeds to step S16 to allow entry of the vehicle.

  However, if the determination in step S11 or step S13 is NO, the process proceeds to step S19 to perform a non-participation process (display or voice), and then proceeds to step S18 to insert the day pass 30 into the insertion slot. If the entry is permitted in step S16, the process proceeds to step S17 to perform data rewriting processing such as setting the entry time and setting the validity period, and then proceeds to step S18. The days commuter pass 30 is sent back and the vehicle can enter. If it is determined in the step S12 that it is not consecutive nights, the process proceeds to step S16 as it is and participation is permitted.

  FIG. 5 shows the same-day re-entry flow when the vehicle is re-entered (re-entry) into the parking lot 1 again on the same day using the above-mentioned day commuter pass 30, and the number of days in step S20. Insert the commuter pass 30 into the entrance commuter pass reader 2, and then proceed to step S23 to determine whether or not the last entry date (determined from the entry time) recorded in the day commuter pass 30 is today. In the case of YES, the process proceeds to step S24, where entry of the vehicle is permitted, the ticket data rewriting (only the set of the entry time) in step S25, and the processing of sending back the daily commuter pass 30 in step S26 are performed. The re-entry process will be completed on the same day. Therefore, even if the entry and the participation are repeated many times on the same day, the number of days is not subtracted each time.

  However, if it is determined NO in step S23, that is, if it is determined that the last entry date is not today, the process proceeds to step S4 shown in FIG. 3 and normal entry processing is performed. In addition, when it is determined NO in steps S21 and S22 shown in FIG. 5, the entrance impossibility processing in step S27 is performed, which is the same as the processing shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, as described in claim 8, instead of the entrance commuter pass reader 2 installed at the entrance 1A of the parking lot 1, a parking ticket issuer that also serves as a commuter pass reader is installed. If a parking fee settlement machine that also serves as a commuter pass reader is installed instead of the exit commuter pass reader 5 at the entrance 1B, the parking fee is settled according to the vehicle using the day commuter pass 30 and the parking time. It becomes possible to manage a mixture of general parked vehicles.
