Benefits that a user who parks a vehicle in a parking lot is provided with goods and services at a store or sales office that has a contract with the parking lot and pays the price. Can be obtained.
In the most general method, when a user enters a parking lot, a parking ticket with an entry time stamp is issued. Receive receipts when users make payments at stores or sales offices. When leaving the vehicle from the parking lot, when the user presents the parking ticket and the receipt, the parking fee is reduced to zero or the discount amount is deducted from the regular parking fee according to the receipt amount indicated on the receipt. Pay the amount.
In this method, the parking lot exit may be congested.

In another method, a pre-payment machine is provided in the middle of the route between the store or sales office and the parking lot. Stores and sales offices issue discount coupons according to the amount of receipt to users. The user inserts a parking ticket and a discount ticket into the pre-payment machine and pays a discounted parking fee.
In this method, when the user does not pay in advance, there may be a problem that the exit of the parking lot is congested.
Moreover, if the regular parking fee is paid without inserting the discount ticket that the user has, the parking fee cannot be reconciled after the fact.
In addition, since it is necessary to collect cash from the pre-payment machine, parking lot management operations increase in order to place a plurality of pre-payment machines in an area where stores and sales offices gather on a large scale.

In another method, an idea of adding a pre-payment function to a checkout terminal at a store or a business office and paying a parking fee with the checkout terminal is being considered.
When a user pays at a store or sales office, the parking fee is paid in advance.
In parking lots that use a discount method that changes the discount amount according to the amount of payment, if you pay a small amount in advance and pay the parking fee in advance, it will be expensive even if you pay a large amount later. You will not be able to get a discount that matches your payment.

FIG. 3 is a second flowchart of the parking lot control method according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a third flowchart of the parking lot control method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Initially, the structure of the parking lot control apparatus which performs a parking lot control method is demonstrated.
The parking lot control device is a device that controls a parking lot that is associated with a plurality of stores or sales offices and parks a vehicle.
For example, the parking lot control device executes a parking lot control method.
For example, the parking lot control device is a parking lot control computer that executes various functions by a parking lot control program.
A parking lot control computer operates in cooperation with a plurality of computers to implement a parking lot control method.
The parking lot control device 10 includes an integrated management system 11, a plurality of payment terminals A12, a plurality of payment terminals B13, a payment terminal C management system 14, a plurality of payment terminals C15, a parking lot management system 16, and a parking ticket issuing machine. 17, an advance settlement machine 18, and an exit settlement machine 19.

The integrated management system 11 is a system that integrally manages a plurality of different settlement systems and a parking lot management system.
For example, the integrated management system 11 is a computer having a CPU, an internal memory, an external storage device, an external input / output device, a keyboard, and a display device.
For example, an external input / output device of the integrated management system 11 can communicate with a plurality of payment terminals A12, a plurality of payment terminals B13, a payment terminal C management system 14, and a parking lot management system 16.

The settlement terminal A12 is a terminal that can settle the user usage amount and the parking fee.
The amount used by the user is a consideration for goods or services provided at a store or sales office.
For example, the payment terminal A12 is a POS terminal. The POS terminal has a function to settle the parking fee. For example, a parking ticket reading device is connected to the payment terminal A12.

The settlement terminal B13 is a terminal that can settle the user usage amount and the parking fee.
For example, the settlement terminal B13 is a settlement terminal that can be settled with a deposit card, a credit card, or a debit card used for a train ticket gate or the like. For example, a card reader can read a parking ticket.
For example, the payment terminal B13 is a bus fee payment machine.
For example, the checkout terminal B13 can read a card with an IC function used in a train ticket gate or the like. Also, when the parking fee is settled at the ticket gate of the train, the ticket gate can read the data from the parking ticket.

The payment terminal C management system 14 is a management system capable of centrally managing the payment terminals.
A plurality of payment terminals C15 communicate with the payment terminal C management system 14.

The parking lot management system 16 is a system for managing a parking lot.

The user inserts the IC function card into the card insertion slot of the parking ticket issuing machine 17, receives the returned IC function card, and enters the parking lot. After parking the vehicle, head to the station and take the train. When leaving the ticket gate after using the train, the fare is settled and the parking fee is settled with the IC function card. When leaving the parking lot, an IC function card is inserted into the exit adjustment machine 19, and after obtaining the IC function card, the vehicle is allowed to enter the parking lot.
In addition, as long as the integrated management system 11 and the parking lot management system 16 can communicate with each other, the integrated management system 11 and the payment terminals A12 and B13 may not be able to communicate with each other. After completing the payment processing of the parking fee at the payment terminals A12 and B13, information to be transmitted to the integrated management system is recorded in the parking ticket. When a parking ticket is inserted into the exit settlement machine 19 installed at the parking lot exit, information recorded on the parking ticket is transmitted to the integrated management system. In this way, the integrated management system 11 can obtain necessary information even when the integrated management system 11 and the checkout terminals A12 and B13 cannot communicate.

Below, the parking lot control method which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated based on a figure.
The parking lot control method is a method of controlling a parking lot that is associated with a plurality of stores or sales offices and parks a vehicle.
The parking lot control method includes a parking fee calculation step S10, a parking fee adjustment step S20, a paid parking fee update step S30, a discount amount update step S40, a data recording step S50, an adjustment calculation processing step S60, and a discount amount distribution step S70. Composed.

The parking fee calculation step S10 is a step of calculating a parking fee according to the elapsed time and the product or service provided at the store or the business office.
For example, in the parking fee calculation step S10, the parking fee is calculated according to the elapsed time and the total amount of the user's money generated from the admission time to the settlement time.
The elapsed time is the time that elapses from the admission time to the settlement time.
The entrance time is the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot. For example, the entry time is the time when the vehicle issues a parking ticket at the entrance of the parking lot.
The settlement time is the time when the parking fee is settled. For example, the settlement time is the time when the parking ticket is read by the settlement terminal. If a payment ticket is read into the checkout terminal multiple times, a checkout time will be generated each time.
The amount used by the user is a consideration for goods or services provided at a store or sales office.
For example, the parking fee calculation step S10 calculates a parking fee obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the regular parking fee. The regular parking fee is a fee determined according to the elapsed time. The discount amount is a fee determined in accordance with the total amount of user usage.
The parking fee may be an amount set in advance for a product or service provided at a store or a business office. For example, “When you park in a parking lot for a person who uses a hospital and receive treatment at the hospital, a fixed amount (for example, 100 yen) of parking fee for a certain amount of time (for example, 5 hours) There is a parking discount service such as

  For example, the parking fee calculation step S10 includes a parking ticket data reading step S11, a settlement time setting step S12, a data download step S13, a regular parking fee calculation step S14, a discount amount calculation step S15, and a parking fee calculation step S16. .

Parking ticket data reading process S11 is a process of reading parking ticket information from a parking ticket.
Parking ticket information is information including admission time, parking lot discount service information, paid parking fee, and others.
The entrance time is the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot. For example, the admission time is the time when the parking ticket issuing machine 17 issues a parking ticket.
The parking lot discount service information is information including a parking fee calculation medium ID, a discount amount, and a user usage amount. The parking fee calculation medium ID is a parking ticket number that is a unique number of the parking ticket or an ID registered when entering the parking lot.
The discount amount is a discount amount related to the parking fee that has been settled. The discount amount is updated by a discount amount update process S40 described later.
The amount used by the user is a consideration for goods or services provided at a store or sales office.
The paid parking fee is a parking fee that has been settled. The paid parking fee is updated in a paid parking fee update process S30 described later.

The settlement time setting process S12 is a process for setting the settlement time.
The settlement time is the time when the parking fee is settled.
For example, the settlement time is the time when the settlement terminals 12, 13, 15 or the prior settlement machine 18 and the exit settlement machine 19 accept the parking ticket.

The data download process S13 is a process of downloading parking ticket information from the integrated management system 11.
For example, information that is not recorded in the parking ticket among the parking ticket information is downloaded from the integrated management system 11.

The regular parking fee calculation step S14 is a step of calculating a regular parking fee from the parking ticket information and the settlement time.
The regular parking fee is a parking fee that has not received a discount service.
For example, the regular parking fee is determined according to the elapsed time from the entrance time, which is the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot, to the settlement time, which is the time to settle the parking fee.
For example, the regular parking fee is a fee that increases in stages as the elapsed time becomes longer.

The discount amount calculation step S15 is a step of calculating a discount amount.
The discount amount is an amount deducted from the regular parking fee by a discount service.
For example, the discount amount is determined according to the total amount of the user's usage amount that is the consideration for the goods or services provided at the store or sales office that occurred from the admission time to the settlement time.
For example, the discount amount is a fee that increases in stages as the total amount of user usage increases.

The parking fee calculation step S16 is a step of calculating a parking fee.
For example, an amount obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the regular parking fee is set as the parking fee.

The parking fee payment process S20 is a process for adjusting the parking fee.
In the parking fee settlement process S20, in order to settle the parking fee, when the paid parking fee is higher than the parking fee, the return parking fee which is the difference between the paid parking fee and the parking fee is returned. When the parking fee is lower than the parking fee, the paying parking fee which is the difference between the paid parking fee and the parking fee is paid.
That is,
Return parking fee = paid parking fee−parking fee paid parking fee = parking fee−paid parking fee.
Therefore, when the parking fee is settled, the parking fee can be settled without excess or deficiency.
Further, the parking fee settlement process S20 may be executed at the same time when the user spending amount at the store or the business office is settled.
Moreover, the payment terminal which settles the user usage amount in a store or a sales office may perform parking charge adjustment process S20.

The parking fee settlement process S20 includes a parking charge comparison process S21, a parking charge return process S22, and a parking charge collection process S23.
The parking fee comparison step S21 determines whether the value obtained by subtracting the parking fee from the paid parking fee is positive or negative.
When the value obtained by subtracting the parking fee from the paid parking fee is positive, the parking fee return process S22 is executed.
When the value obtained by subtracting the parking fee from the paid parking fee is negative, the parking fee collecting step S23 is executed.

The parking fee return process S22 is a process of returning the return parking fee.
The return parking fee is the amount calculated by the following formula.
Return parking fee = paid parking fee-parking fee For example, cash corresponding to the return parking fee is returned.
For example, when the user usage amount is settled at the same time, an amount obtained by subtracting the return parking fee from the user usage amount is collected.

The parking fee collection step S23 is a step of collecting a paid parking fee.
The paid parking fee is an amount calculated by the following formula.
Paying parking fee = Parking fee-Paid parking fee For example, payment of an amount corresponding to the paid parking fee is requested.
For example, when the user usage amount is settled at the same time, an amount obtained by adding the payment parking fee to the user usage amount is collected.

The paid parking fee update process S30 is a process of updating the paid parking fee, which is the parking fee for which the settlement has been completed, every time the parking fee is settled.
When the payment of the parking fee is completed, the paid parking fee is replaced with an amount corresponding to the parking fee.
For example, after executing the parking fee settlement process S20, the paid parking fee is replaced with an amount corresponding to the parking fee and recorded.

The discount amount update process S40 is a process in which the discount amount related to the parking fee for which the settlement has been completed is updated every time the parking fee is settled.
When the payment of the parking fee is completed, the discount amount is replaced with an amount corresponding to the new discount amount.
For example, after executing the parking fee settlement process S20, the discount amount is recorded by replacing it with an amount corresponding to the new discount amount.

The data recording process S50 is a process of recording parking ticket information every time a parking fee is settled.
The data recording process S50 includes a parking ticket data recording process S51, a data upload process S52, and a settlement terminal data recording process S53.

  The parking ticket data recording process S51 is a process of recording the settlement data and the parking ticket discount service information on the parking ticket.

The data upload process S52 is a process of uploading the payment data and parking ticket discount service information to the integrated management system 11.
The integrated management system 11 records the payment data and parking ticket discount service information in the payment database D10.

  The settlement terminal data recording process S53 is a process of recording settlement data in the settlement terminal that has performed the settlement process.

In the following, processing when money relating to the parking fee is not exchanged at the settlement terminal will be described.
When the return parking fee is not returned at the payment terminal, the paid parking fee update step S30 and the discount amount update step S40 are not performed, and the data recording step S50 is performed.
In this way, it is possible to update only the newly granted parking lot discount service information.
If the payment parking fee is not collected at the payment terminal, the paid parking fee update process S30 and the discount amount update process S40 are not performed, and the data recording process S50 is performed.
In this way, it is possible to update only the newly granted parking lot discount service information.

The settlement totaling process step S60 is a process for controlling the timing of totaling settlement data from a plurality of settlement terminal systems connected to the integrated management system.
The settlement tabulation process step S60 includes a settlement tabulation command input step S61, a current settlement tabulation time setting step S62, a settlement tabulation result creation step S63, a settlement tabulation result transmission step S64, and a settlement tabulation time replacement step S65.

The settlement aggregation command input process S61 is a process in which the integrated management system 11 gives a settlement aggregation instruction to a plurality of settlement terminal management systems at a predetermined timing.
The checkout terminal management system performs checkout counting at a specific checkout timing.
The integrated management system 11 is set with a predetermined timing for each settlement terminal management system. The predetermined timing is set so as not to interfere with the procedure for the settlement terminal management system to settle and sum up at the settlement timing.

In the current settlement / aggregation time setting step S62, the settlement / aggregation time is set as the current settlement / aggregation time.
For example, the current settlement total time is set after inputting the settlement totalization command.

The settlement aggregation result creation process S63 is a process for creating the settlement aggregation result.
The settlement total result regarding the settlement data between the previous settlement total time recorded in the settlement terminal and the current settlement total time is created.
For example, all the settlement data between the previous settlement aggregation time and the current settlement aggregation time are aggregated as the settlement aggregation result.
In addition, for example, the total number of payments, the total amount of paid parking fees, the total amount of return parking fees, and the total amount of user usage are totaled as a settlement total result. In this way, the amount of data can be reduced.

  The settlement aggregation result transmission process S64 is a process of uploading the settlement terminal ID, the current settlement aggregation time, the previous settlement aggregation time, and the settlement aggregation result from a plurality of settlement terminals to the integrated management system 11.

  The settlement total time replacement process S65 is a process for replacing the previous settlement total time with the current settlement total time.

In the discount amount distribution process S70, a fixed discount amount, which is a discount amount when the vehicle enters the parking lot, is distributed to a plurality of operating entities according to the user usage amount generated at each store or each sales office. It is a journey.
The management entity is a person who implements a store or sales office as a business.
