For example, a parking ticket number (medium ID) and an entry time are acquired at the entrance of the parking lot, a vehicle entry / exit time is acquired for each parking area, and a checkout is performed in the parking area where payment is made based on the acquired time. A parking lot control device having a car gate and a parking ticket reader for each entrance / exit is considered.
A user inserts a parking ticket (medium) into a parking ticket reader installed for each parking area, opens a car gate, and enters and exits the parking area. The parking ticket reader records the entry / exit time on the inserted parking ticket (medium). At the time of payment, a payment process is performed based on the time information recorded on the parking ticket (medium).
In this method, the user needs to stop the vehicle every time entering / exiting the parking area, and insert the parking ticket (medium) into the parking ticket reader. For this reason, congestion occurs at the entrance / exit of the parking area.

Also, for example, vehicle identification information (vehicle ID), parking ticket number (medium ID), and entry time are acquired at the entrance of the parking lot, the vehicle entry / exit time is acquired for each parking area, and based on the acquired time. In a parking lot to be settled, a parking lot control device having a vehicle ID acquisition device for each entrance / exit of a parking area is considered. The vehicle identification information (vehicle ID), parking ticket number (medium ID), and entrance time acquired at the parking lot entrance are associated with each other and recorded in the central system. The vehicle entry / exit time can be searched by the parking ticket number (medium ID).
When the user passes the entrance / exit of the parking area, the vehicle ID acquisition device acquires the vehicle identification information (vehicle ID) and the entry / exit time. The acquired entry / exit time is recorded in the central system in association with the vehicle identification information (vehicle ID). At the time of payment, the payment is made by obtaining the entry / exit time associated with the parking ticket number (medium ID) of the parking ticket (medium) inserted into the settlement machine.
In this method, since the entry / exit time is not recorded on the parking ticket (medium), if communication between the settlement machine and the central system becomes impossible, the settlement based on the entry / exit time cannot be performed.

The case where the parking lot control apparatus mentioned above is used is demonstrated to an example.
Since the parking ticket and the central system are the same as those of the parking lot control device, the description is omitted.

In the admission management process S10, the vehicle passing through the entrance of the parking lot is identified in a non-contact manner and the vehicle identification information 73 is generated, and the parking ticket number 72, the entry time 76, and the vehicle identification information 73 are added to the parking ticket 70 of the vehicle. This is a recording step.
For example, characters and numbers attached to a license plate of the vehicle are used as vehicle identification information.
The entrance time is the time when the vehicle passes through the entrance.
In the case where the entrance serves also as an entrance to the parking area, the entrance time is the entry time to the parking area.

The warehousing management step S20 identifies the vehicle passing through the entrance of the parking area in a non-contact manner, generates vehicle identification information, and stores the parking area information for identifying the parking area, the parking area, and the vehicle identification information. In this step, the central system 10 records them in association with each other.
The letters and numbers attached to the license plate of the vehicle passing through the entrance of the parking area are used as vehicle identification information.
The central system 10 is notified of the storage time to the parking area, the parking area information specifying the parking area, and the vehicle identification information.
The central system 10 receives the warehousing time 76, the parking area information 75, and the vehicle identification information 73, and records them in association with the matching vehicle identification information 73 in the management data.

The unloading management step S30 identifies the vehicle passing through the exit of the parking area in a non-contact manner, generates vehicle identification information, and outputs the parking time 77 to the parking area, the parking area information 75 for identifying the parking area, and the vehicle identification information 73. Are associated with each other and recorded in the central system 10.
For example, characters and numbers attached to a license plate of a vehicle passing through an exit of a parking area are used as vehicle identification information.
The central system 10 is notified of the delivery time to the parking area, the parking area information for specifying the parking area, and the vehicle identification information.
The central system 10 receives the delivery time 77, the parking area information 75, and the vehicle identification information 73, and records them in association with the matching vehicle identification information 73 in the management data.

In the medium information application process S40, an application for a parking ticket is received, and one or both of the warehousing time and the evacuation time associated with the vehicle identification information recorded in the parking ticket in the management data of the central system 10 and the parking area It is a process of acquiring information and recording it on a parking ticket.
An application for a parking ticket may be accepted near the exit of the driver in the parking area.
When the vehicle parking ticket is received, the vehicle identification information 73 recorded in the parking ticket 70 is read and the vehicle identification information 73 is sent to the central system 10.
The central system 10 sends a series of parking area information 75, a warehousing time 76, and a warehousing time 77 associated with the received vehicle identification information 73 in the management data to the medium information application device 50. Here, the entry time corresponds to the entry time of the parking area A.
In the medium information application step S40, all or a selected set of the parking area information 75, the warehousing time 76, and the warehousing time 77 in the management data or the selected parking area information 75, the warehousing time 76, and the evacuating time 77 are stored in the parking ticket 70. Record and pass the parking ticket to the vehicle driver.

  The three selection methods in the case where the medium information application process S40 records the selected parking area information 75, the entry time 76, and the exit time 77 in the parking ticket 70 are the same as those described in the description of the parking lot management device. Therefore, explanation is omitted.

The settlement management step S60 is a step in which a parking fee can be determined and settled from the entry time 76, the exit time 77 and the parking area information 75 recorded in the parking ticket.
For example, the settlement management step S60 includes a first settlement step S61 and a second settlement step S62.

The first settlement process S61 is a process when the central system 10 is operating normally.
The first checkout step S61 acquires one or both of the entry time 76 and the exit time 77 associated with the vehicle identification information 73 recorded in the parking ticket in the management data of the central system 10 and the parking area information 75. The parking fee is determined and settled from the warehousing time 76, the evacuation time 77, the parking area information 75, the warehousing time 76 recorded in the parking ticket, the evacuation time 77, and the parking area information 75.
Since a specific example is the same as that when the parking lot management apparatus can communicate with the central system 10, the description thereof is omitted.

The second settlement step S62 is a step when the central system is not operating normally.
In the second settlement step S62, the parking fee is determined and settled from the entry time 76, the departure time 77, and the parking area information 75 recorded in the parking ticket.
Since the specific example is the same as that when the parking lot management apparatus cannot communicate with the central system 10, the description thereof will be omitted.

The participation management step S50 is a step of managing a vehicle that passes through the exit of the parking lot.
For example, the participation management device 60 accepts insertion of a parking ticket. The participation management device 60 sets the time when the parking ticket is inserted as the participation time, and makes an entry determination based on information related to the parking ticket.
The participation management device 60 is recorded as being settled in the information related to the parking ticket, and before a predetermined time has elapsed from the settlement time (here, the predetermined time is referred to as a postponement post-payment time). When it is accepted to insert a parking ticket, it is determined that it is possible to participate.
If it is not determined that participation is possible, the process returns to the checkout management step 60.
When the checkout management process 60 is executed and the checkout is completed, the participation management process S50 is executed again.

If the parking lot control device and the parking lot control method of the above-described embodiment are used, the following effects are exhibited.
A central system capable of recording management data for parking lot management is provided, vehicle identification information obtained by non-contact identification of vehicles at the parking lot entrance is generated, parking ticket number 72, entry time 74, and vehicle identification When the parking ticket which recorded the information 73 is issued, when entering and leaving the parking area, the vehicle is identified in a non-contact manner to generate the vehicle identification information 73, and the parking area information 75, the entry and exit times 76 and 77, and the vehicle The identification information 73 is recorded in the central system 10, and when the application for the parking ticket is received, the times 76 and 77 of the parking area in the parking area and the parking area information 75 are recorded on the parking ticket, and the parking lot is entered. Since the parking fee can be settled based on the parking time information 76 and 77 recorded on the parking ticket and the parking area information 75, the vehicle is temporarily stopped when moving from one parking area to another parking area. There is no need to , Even without the central system is functioning properly, it is possible to make the payment of parking fees.
Further, when the central system 10 is normal, the parking fee is determined using the entry / exit times 76, 77 in the management data of the central system 10 and the entry / exit times 76, 77 recorded in the parking ticket. Because I did it, I can settle the exact parking fee.
In addition, the application for the parking ticket was accepted near the exit of the driver in the parking area, and the entry / exit times 76 and 77 in the management data of the central system 10 were recorded on the parking ticket. It is easy to apply for a parking ticket when a hand parks the vehicle in the parking area, and it is possible to record the entry / exit times 76 and 77 and the parking area information 75 regarding the parking area where the vehicle is parked on the parking ticket. Even if communication between the management device and the central system is not possible, a stable parking fee can be settled.
In addition, when an application for a parking ticket is received, the parking ticket shows the time of entry / exit 76 and 77 immediately before the application for the parking ticket is received from the management data of the central system 10 in the entry / exit time of the vehicle. Since most drivers apply for a parking ticket immediately after the vehicle is parked in the parking space, even if the central system does not function properly, a stable parking fee can be settled. .
In addition, when an application for a parking ticket is accepted, the entry / exit times 76 and 77 immediately before a predetermined time elapses from the entry time 74 in the management data of the central system 10 are recorded on the parking ticket. Since most drivers enter the parking lot and the vehicle is parked in the parking space when a predetermined time has elapsed, a stable parking fee can be settled even if the central system does not function properly.
In addition, when the time of accepting the application for the parking ticket is early, the time of the entry / exit immediately before the application for the parking ticket is received from the management data of the central system 10 among the entry / exit times of the vehicle. Recorded on the ticket and when the application time for the parking ticket is late, use the management data of the central system to store the parking time 76, 77 just before the entry time at the point of entry. Most drivers applied for a parking ticket immediately after the vehicle parked in the parking space, and most drivers entered the parking lot when a predetermined time had passed and the vehicle was in the parking space. The parking fee can be settled stably even if the central system does not function properly.
