  In S65, in the case of an instruction to the IC reader / writer 1 arranged at the exit gate, the following information is read from the IC tag 41 and returned.

・ Payment completion (completion time) / incomplete ・ Reception time ・ Fee per unit ・ Service ticket information Among these pieces of information, advance payment is effective when the payment completion time is within a predetermined time (for example, within 10 minutes) from the current time. Then, the shipping gate is opened. On the other hand, if it is above, additional parking fee is required, or if the payment completion time is not set, it is judged that there is no pre-payment, based on the time of warehousing, the charge per unit time, service ticket information (free service time) Calculate the parking fee and ask for payment.

  S66 deletes the parking lot use information (* 1). Here, the service ticket information (free service time) is left and can be used next time (in this case, the ID of the management information table 410 in FIG. 3 is not deleted next time using a unique ID for each parking lot). Manage the service ticket information left in step 1).
