  Hereinafter, some of the more specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a parking lot 10 in which a parking lot management method (hereinafter simply referred to as “management method”) according to the first embodiment of the present invention is implemented. The parking lot 10 has a plurality of parking positions (parking spaces) that enable parking of a plurality of automobiles at the same time. A single ticketing machine (generally also referred to as “accounting machine”) 20 is parked in the vicinity of the only entrance / exit 12 (which is also an entrance and exit) of the parking lot 10. It is installed as a central ticketing machine in common with the location. The parking lot 10 is an unmanned system in which there is no full-time staff and a user who is a driver pays a parking fee to the ticket issuing machine 20.

  There are two types of parking sections on the site of the parking lot 10. It is based on a premise for a section for lending a parking space to a user of each vehicle on a daily basis (a temporary storage section or a daily lending section) and for each vehicle user on a monthly basis. It is a section for renting a parking space (monthly section). This management method is implemented for the temporary deposit section. Hereinafter, the term “parking lot 10” simply refers to only the temporary storage section of the parking lot 10, that is, the area where this management method is implemented.

  Throughout this specification, the term “one day”, in a narrow sense, means 24 hours from 0:00 am to 11:59 pm on a day, and in a broad sense, there is a day. It means 24 hours from the time to the same time the next day, and in some cases, the normal daily rental parking time zone (for example, the time zone from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the narrow sense) Including time zone). That is, the term “one day” does not necessarily mean 24 hours, but can mean a time shorter than 24 hours.

  In order to use the parking lot 10, a driver who is a user drives his / her vehicle, enters the entrance / exit 12 from an adjacent road, continues to drive and passes through the ticketing machine 20, and further Drive to one of the parking spaces (parking positions) you have chosen and park there. After that, the user gets out of his / her vehicle and walks to the ticketing machine 20 at the entrance / exit 12 and pays the parking fee to the ticketing machine 20 there.

  The user receives a parking ticket with a receipt from the ticket issuing machine 20 in exchange for payment of the parking fee. Thereafter, as will be described in detail later, the user returns to his / her vehicle with the parking ticket, and displays the parking ticket as an example of the windshield of the own vehicle (the “window glass” in the above (3)). The “window glass” is not limited to the front glass, but is pasted on the back surface. Since the parking ticket is placed in the room of the parked vehicle, it is not exposed to rain and wind and is not lost.

  This parking lot 10 is a day-lending / prepaid unmanned parking lot having a plurality of parking positions, and is a device (for example, gate opening / closing) for preventing the vehicle from leaving (preventing the exit from the parking lot 10). There is no device or a car stop device (for example, a flap or a haunting tool), and the user can freely select one of the plurality of parking positions and park his / her vehicle ( The selected parking position is not monitored by the ticketing machine 20). This management method is implemented in order to manage the parking lot 10 comprised in this way.

  In FIG. 2, only the ticket issuing machine 20 is enlarged and shown in a front view. Briefly described, this ticket-issuing machine 20 has a fee settlement function but does not have a change function or a communication function. This ticket-issuing machine 20 requests that the user pay the parking fee only with coins, not banknotes. In addition, the ticket issuing machine 20 can input a user identification number, input vehicle identification information (for example, a vehicle number) on the user's vehicle, and specify what a user selects from a plurality of parking positions. , Do not request.

  The ticket issuing machine 20 is configured by attaching a door 24 to a vertically long casing 22 that is openable and closable on one side. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the internal configuration of the ticket issuing machine 20 with the door 24 open. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the component configuration of the ticketing machine 20.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the ticket issuing machine 20 is configured to include a coin processing unit 30, a safe 32, a control board 34, a display 36, and a printer 40 that prints and issues a parking ticket. ing. Of these parts, only the coin processing unit 30 is attached to the back surface of the door 24, and the remaining parts are attached to the casing 22.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the printer 40 is equipped with a roller 42 on which a continuous sheet before printing is wound and stored. The printer 40 performs printing on a continuous sheet that is fed by the length of one sheet from the roller 42, and then cuts the continuous sheet from time to time by a cutter (not shown). Separate the parking ticket.

  The cutter has a cutting blade (not shown), and moves the cutting blade in the width direction of the continuous sheet to cut the continuous sheet in the width direction. The cutter can adopt a method of completely cutting the continuous sheet in the width direction or a method of cutting the continuous sheet in the width direction while leaving only a part in the width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the coin processing unit 30 includes a coin insertion slot 50, a return lever 52, a coin selector (determination of the type of inserted coin, and whether or not the inserted coin is a forged coin. ) 54 and a coin return port 56. Among the inserted coins, those that have not been returned to the user from the coin return slot 56 are accommodated in the safe 32. As shown in FIG. 5, a control board 34 is connected to the coin selector 54 so as to be able to perform data communication. The control board 34 receives the type of coins inserted from the coin selector 54 (units of coins and counterfeit coins). And a signal indicating the number of images are received.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the front surface of the door 24, a transmission window 60 through which display light from a screen of a display 36 (for example, a liquid crystal display) is transmitted, a coin insertion slot 50, a return lever 52, and a coin return slot 56. And a discharge port 64to for discharging the parking ticket printed and discharged by the printer 40. The transmissive window 60 also has a function of mechanically protecting the display 36 by preventing direct access to the display 36 from the outside.

  The control board 34 is configured mainly by the computer 70, and causes the computer 70 to execute the ticket issuing / settlement program shown in the flowchart in FIG. This control board 34 has a built-in clock 72 and can always acquire the current date and time (warehouse date and time).

  The computer 70 repeatedly executes the ticket issuing / settlement program. At the time of each execution, first, in step S1, the amount of parking fee that the user needs to pay for parking is displayed on the screen of the display 36. Next, in step S2, on the basis of a signal from the coin selector 54, the user waits for the insertion of coins. When coins are inserted, in step S3, based on the signal from the coin selector 54, whether or not the inserted coins are appropriate, that is, the inserted coins are not counterfeit coins and the total amount is It is determined whether or not the displayed parking fee is not less than the amount.

  If the inserted coin is a counterfeit coin or the fee is insufficient, the determination in step S3 is NO, and in step S4, a command to return the inserted coin is issued to the coin selector 54. . This completes the current execution of this ticketing / settlement program.

  On the other hand, if the inserted coin is not a forged coin and is not a fee shortage, the determination in step S3 is YES, and in step S5, the current date is acquired as the warehousing date using the clock 72. Is done. Subsequently, in step S6, the parking ticket 80 shown in FIG. 6 is printed by the printer 40 so as to display information including the acquired warehousing date and time. Thereafter, in step S7, the printed parking ticket 80 is discharged through the discharge port 64, and the parking ticket 80 is received by the user. This completes the current execution of this ticketing / settlement program.

  In addition, the control board 34 can be configured to realize the same function as the computer 70 by a sequencer (sequence control).

  FIG. 6A shows the parking ticket 80 in a front view, while FIG. 6B shows the parking ticket 80 in a longitudinal sectional view. The parking ticket 80 includes a display sheet (printing paper) 82 as a surface layer, an adhesive layer 83 (glue layer) as an intermediate layer, and a separator (separation sheet, release paper) 84 as a back layer in that order. It is configured by stacking. The adhesive layer 83 is applied to the back surface of the display sheet 82 so as not to be easily peeled off. In the state where the display sheet 82 is peeled off from the surface of the separator 84, the adhesive of the adhesive layer 83 is the surface of the separator 84. It does not adhere to.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in one parking ticket 80, the outer periphery of the display sheet 82 is positioned inside the outer periphery of the separator 84. The raw material wound around the roller 42 is formed by adhering a plurality of display sheets 82 (in a blank state) aligned in a row with a gap to a continuous separator 84.

  The continuous sheet (continuous separator 84) in the printer 40 is cut by the cutter, and the cutting is performed at the position of the gap between the display sheets 82, and the display sheet 82 is not cut. On the other hand, no glue is attached to the surface of the portion of the separator 84 exposed in the gap between the display sheets 82.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, when cutting the continuous sheet, the adhesive of the adhesive layer 83 is not attached to the cutting blade, and the frequency of maintenance of the cutter by the person in charge is reduced. Labor costs are reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the parking ticket 80 also serves as a receipt. Therefore, on the surface of the display sheet 82 of the parking ticket 80, the printer 40 uses the printer 40 to write a character string “parking ticket / receipt”, a character / number string indicating the date and time of warehousing, and a character / A number string, a character / number string indicating the end time of the time zone in which the parking ticket 80 is valid, and a character string for specifying the parking lot 10 where the parking ticket 80 is valid are printed.

  In addition, in the example of the parking ticket 80 shown in FIG. 6A, the end time of the time zone in which the parking ticket 80 is valid is 6 am on the next day. In this example, a time zone from 6 am on one day to 6 am on the next day is a time zone in which parking by the user is permitted.

  The display sheet 82 further includes a cutting line 90 having both ends (not closed) immediately above the character string “parking ticket / receipt”. The cut line 90 is present to allow the user to remove a portion of the display sheet 82 from the separator 84 while the remaining portion remains adhered to the separator 84. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the user peels off a part of the display sheet 82 (the region surrounded by the cutting line 90) from the separator 84 and folds it along a straight line connecting both ends of the cutting line 90, The surface of the bent portion 92 formed as a result (the portion of the adhesive layer 83 that is applied to the back surface of the bent portion 92) is exposed as a glue surface. FIG. 7A shows the bent portion 92 in a perspective view.

  In this embodiment, in order to prove that parking by the user is not illegal parking, the user receives the parking ticket 80 received in exchange for coin insertion, as shown in FIG. It is required to be pasted on the back surface of the glass 100. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7A, the user locally designates a designated portion of the parking ticket 80 (a portion surrounded by the cutting line 90 and finally a bent portion 92). After being peeled off and bent, the surface of the bent portion 92 is attached to the back surface of the windshield 100 of the parked vehicle as shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the contents of the parking ticket 80 (particularly, the date and time of entry and the display of the parking lot 10 where the parking ticket 80 is valid) can be viewed from the outside at any time.

  Sometimes, the user needs to park his / her vehicle in the same day-rental parking lot 10 continuously for a plurality of days. In this case, the user purchases the same number of parking tickets 80 on the first day of consecutive parking periods as much as the number of parking days at substantially the same date and time, and as shown in FIG. The parking ticket 80 (the parking ticket 80 for five days in the example shown in FIG. 9) is required to be attached to the back surface of the windshield 100 of the own vehicle.

  Assuming that the date of the first day is X and the number of parking tickets 80 is Y, the period from the X day until the Y day (parking permission period) elapses, that is, from the X day to the (X + (Y-1)) day. During the period, the user is allowed to park.

  In this embodiment, in order to determine whether or not each vehicle parked in the parking lot 10 is illegally parked, the person in charge is at least 1 every day as long as there are parked vehicles in the parking lot 10. Visit the parking lot 10 this time, for example, in a time zone in which there is a high possibility that the parked vehicle is the maximum (for example, 2 hours before and after noon). The person in charge acquires information on the parking lot and the parked vehicle in charge, and the information is an example of his / her mobile phone (“transmission device” in the above (1)) as shown in FIG. In addition, the management center 102 is contacted via an example 100 of a portable terminal. The management center 102 manages a plurality of parking lots including other parking lots using a plurality of persons in charge.

  FIG. 10 shows that the cellular phones 100 of a plurality of staff members are connected to the management center 102 via the network 104 so as to be communicable. FIG. 11 shows a plurality of devices that the management center 102 uses to implement this management method. The management center 102 includes a communication device (an example of “reception device” in the section (1)) 110 including a transmission unit and a reception unit, a control device 112, an unauthorized parking list memory 114 that stores an unauthorized parking list, and a map And a map database memory 116 for storing the database. The control device 112 has a computer 120. The communication device 110 and the control device 112 are connected so as to be capable of data communication with each other, and the control device 112, the unauthorized parking list memory 114 and the map database memory 116 are connected so as to be capable of data communication with each other.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the work performed by the person in charge. In order to transmit a message from the mobile phone 100 to the management center 102, the person in charge first inputs the address of the management center 102, which is the destination of the current message, into the mobile phone 100 in step S21. Next, in step S22, the person in charge key-in information (for example, place name, address, ID number, etc.) for specifying the parking lot 10 he is in charge of in this message.

  Subsequently, in step S23, the person in charge inputs the vehicle number (number on the number plate) of the parked vehicle into the current message for each parked vehicle parked in the parking lot 10 in charge. . Thereafter, in step S24, the person in charge photographs the windshield 100 of each parked vehicle with a camera (not shown) built in the mobile phone 100. When the parking ticket 80 is affixed on the windshield 100 of the parked vehicle, of course, the windshield 100 is photographed so that the parking ticket 80 can be seen.

  Subsequently, in step S25, information for identifying the parking lot 10 (parking lot position information) and the vehicle of the parked vehicle on the same day as the shooting date when the person in charge shot the windshield 100 together with the parking ticket 80 with the camera. The number, the image data representing the image photographed by the camera, and the photographing date and time when the camera photographed the windshield 100 together with the parking ticket 80 are associated with each other and transmitted to the management center 102.

  FIG. 13 conceptually shows a parking lot management program executed by the computer 120 of the control device 112 in the management center 102 in a flowchart.

  This parking lot management program is repeatedly executed, and at the time of each execution, first, in step S41, it is awaited to receive a message from any one of the staff members. If received, in step S42, the current person in charge who is the sender of the message is specified from the information indicating the sender of the received message. Subsequently, in step S43, the current position of the target parking lot 10 is specified from the parking lot position information in the received message. Thereafter, in step S44, the current target vehicle is specified from the vehicle number in the received message.

  Subsequently, in step S45, image analysis (pattern recognition) is performed on the image data in the current message. In this image analysis, first, data representing a parking ticket image is extracted from the current image data. Since the parking ticket 80 has basic geometrical features such as shape and print contents known in advance, it is easy to extract parking ticket image data from the original image data. Thereafter, the number of parking tickets 80 represented by the extracted parking ticket image data is acquired. In the example shown in FIG. 8, it is analyzed that the number of parking tickets 80 is one, and in the example shown in FIG. 9, it is analyzed that the number of parking tickets 80 is five.

  Subsequently, the warehousing date and time printed on each parking ticket 80 and the location of the parking lot are analyzed. Both analysis results are stored in a memory (not shown) of the control device 112. Specifically, the number of parking tickets 80, the warehousing date printed on each parking ticket 80, and the location of the parking lot are stored for each image data. When there are a plurality of parking tickets 80, numbers are assigned to the parking tickets 80 in the order in which the parking tickets 80 are arranged on the image, and the warehousing date and time and the location of the parking lot are stored in association with each number. .

  When step S45 is completed, in step S45a, whether the parking lot printed on the captured parking ticket 80 matches the parking lot received from the person in charge, that is, the printed parking lot is appropriate. It is determined whether or not there is. If it is assumed that it is not appropriate this time, the determination in step S45a is NO, and it is determined in step S47 that the current target vehicle is illegally parked. Thereafter, in step S48, the unauthorized parking list shown in FIG. 14 is updated so that the content that the current target vehicle is illegally parked is reflected. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  On the other hand, assuming that the printed parking lot is appropriate this time, the determination in step S45a is YES, and the process proceeds to step S46.

  In this step S46, it is determined whether or not the number of photographed parking tickets 80 is zero, that is, whether or not any parking tickets 80 are stuck on the windshield 100 of the target vehicle. The If it is assumed that the number is zero this time, the determination in step S46 is YES, and in step S47, it is determined that the current target vehicle is illegally parked. Thereafter, in step S48, the unauthorized parking list shown in FIG. 14 is updated so that the content that the current target vehicle is illegally parked is reflected. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  On the other hand, this time, if it is assumed that the number of the parking tickets 80 taken is not 0, the determination in step S46 is NO, and the process proceeds to step S49.

  In step S49, it is determined whether or not the number of photographed parking tickets 80 is one. Assuming that there is only one ticket this time, the determination in step S49 is YES, and in step S50, the storage date for the corresponding parking ticket 80 is read from the memory,

  Subsequently, in step S48, the date portion (hereinafter referred to as “receipt date”) of the read warehousing date / time is today (this is the person in charge taking the windshield 100 together with the parking ticket 80 with the camera). It is also determined whether the date does not coincide with the date on which the person in charge transmitted the photographing data to the management center 110).

  If it is assumed that they do not match this time, the determination in step S51 is YES, and in step S47, it is determined that the current target vehicle is illegally parked.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when only one parking ticket 80 is pasted on the windshield 100, the shooting date of the parking ticket 80 and the parking ticket 80 are printed in steps S47 and S49 to S52. It is determined whether or not the warehousing date is matched with each other, and in the case of matching, it constitutes a first partial determination step for determining that the parking of the target vehicle is not unauthorized parking.

  Thereafter, in step S48, the unauthorized parking list is updated so that the content that the current target vehicle is illegally parked is reflected. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  In addition, in the example of the parking ticket 80 shown in FIG. 6A, parking is possible from 6:00 am to the next day, but the person in charge is in the time zone from 0:00 am to 6:00 am Since I will not go to the parking lot 10, the date of the warehousing date printed on the parking ticket 80 affixed to the back surface of the windshield 100 and the person in charge of the parking ticket 80 take a picture of the image data. There is no problem even if the dates of the dates transmitted to the management center 102 are compared with each other.

  On the other hand, this time, assuming that the date of receipt coincides with today's date, the determination in step S48 is NO, and in step S52, it is determined that the target vehicle is not improperly parked. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  As described above, the case where the number of the captured parking tickets 80 is one has been described. However, in the case where there are a plurality of parking tickets 80, the determination in step S49 is NO, and in step S53, the corresponding plurality of sheets are read from the memory. The warehousing date for the parking ticket 80 is read, and subsequently, in step S54, the date part (hereinafter referred to as “the warehousing date”) of the warehousing date and time read for all the parking tickets 80 does not match each other. Is determined.

  If it is assumed that they do not match this time, the determination in step S54 is YES, and in step S47, it is determined that the current target vehicle is illegally parked.

  On the other hand, this time, assuming that the read-in dates for all the parking tickets 80 coincide with each other, the determination in step S54 is NO, and the process proceeds to step S55.

  In this step S54, the end date (X + (Y-1)) of the period (parking permission period) Y in which the same number of days as the number of the plurality of parking tickets 80 elapses is calculated as the parking end date. Is done. Subsequently, in step S56, the calculated parking end date is today (this is also the day when the person in charge photographed the windshield 100 together with the parking ticket 80 with the camera, and the person in charge manages the photographing data. It is determined whether or not the parking permission period has ended before today, that is, the date before transmission to the center 110).

  Assuming that the parking end date is before today, this time, the determination in step S56 is YES, and in step S47, it is determined that the current target vehicle is illegally parked.

  Thereafter, in step S48, the unauthorized parking list is updated so that the content that the current target vehicle is illegally parked is reflected. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  On the other hand, this time, assuming that the parking end date is not before today, the determination in step S56 is NO, and in step S52, it is determined that the target vehicle is not improperly parked. This is the end of the current execution of this parking lot management program.

  That is, in this embodiment, when a plurality of parking tickets 80 are pasted on the windshield 100 in steps S47 and S53 to S56, are the same receipt dates printed on the plurality of parking tickets 80? If the same warehousing date is printed, the shooting date of the parking ticket 80 exists within a period in which the same number of days as the number of the plurality of parking tickets 80 elapses from the warehousing date. If it is determined whether or not the target vehicle is parked, the second partial determination step is determined to determine that the parking of the target vehicle is not unauthorized parking.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the unauthorized parking list includes, for each project number, the vehicle number of the vehicle illegally parked, the parking lot 10 where the vehicle is parked, the date when the unauthorized parking was discovered, Information regarding whether or not processing for illegal parking has been completed is registered in association with each other.

  FIG. 15 shows a staff dispatch program executed by the computer 120 of the control device 112 to cause the staff to take measures to stop the illegal parking by dispatching the staff to the illegal parking spot in the management center 102. It is conceptually represented in the flowchart.

  This staff dispatch program is repeatedly executed. At the time of each execution, first, the case number i is set to 1 in step S81. Next, in step S82, an unauthorized parking case to which the current value of the case number i is assigned is searched in the unauthorized parking list. Subsequently, in step S83, based on the information stored in association with the searched unauthorized parking case, it is determined whether or not the current unauthorized parking case has been processed.

  If it is assumed that the processing has been completed this time, the determination in step S83 is YES, and the case number i is incremented by 1 in step S84. Thereafter, in step S85, it is determined whether or not the current value of the case number i is greater than the maximum value (the total number of illegal parking cases currently registered in the illegal parking list). If the current value of the case number i is not larger than the maximum value, the determination in step S85 is NO and the process returns to step S82, but if it is larger, the determination in step S85 is YES, and this staff dispatch program This execution is finished.

  On the other hand, if it is assumed that the searched illegal parking case this time has not been processed, the determination in step S83 is NO, and in step S86, the current target is selected from the map databases stored in the map database memory 116. A portion (see FIG. 16) representing the vicinity of the parking lot 10 (for example, a district within a radius of 5 km from the current target parking lot 10) is selected as the current target area, and the target area is accessed.

  Subsequently, in step S87, for each of a plurality of persons in charge in the current target area, the linear distance D between the location and the current target parking lot 10 is calculated. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 16, the linear distance D between the location of the person in charge A and the current target parking lot 10 is represented by DA. Thereafter, in step S88, the person in charge who has the smallest linear distance D between the location and the current target parking lot 10 is selected as the person in charge to be dispatched to the current target parking lot 10.

  Subsequently, in step S89, a call is made to the mobile phone 100 of the selected person in charge, so that the current person in charge is dispatched to the current target parking lot 10 and urges the stop of illegal parking. (For example, a sticker is attached to a vehicle that is illegally parked to notify that the vehicle is illegally parked). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S84.

  In FIG. 17, in the management center 102, the computer 120 of the control device 112 is used to update the map database shown in FIG. 16 to reflect the latest location of each person in charge by communicating with a plurality of persons in charge. The map database update program executed by is conceptually represented by a flowchart.

  This map database update program is repeatedly executed. At the time of each execution, the person-in-charge number j is set to 1 in step S101. Next, in step S102, a call is made to the mobile phone 100 of the person in charge who is assigned the current value of the person in charge number j. The mobile phone 100 has a GPS function, and each person in charge, when receiving a call from the management center 102, measures his / her location using the GPS function and manages the result through the mobile phone 100. Report to the center 102.

  Subsequently, in step S103, the management center 102 receives information representing the location of the person in charge from the mobile phone 100 of the person in charge this time. Thereafter, in step S104, the map database is updated so that the location of the person in charge at this time is reflected. Thereafter, in step S105, the person-in-charge number j is incremented by 1. Subsequently, in step S106, it is determined whether or not the current value of the person in charge number j is larger than the maximum value (the total number of persons in charge who can be dispatched on that day). If the current value of the person-in-charge number j is not larger than the maximum value, the determination in step S106 is NO and the process returns to step S102. If it is larger, the determination in step S106 is YES, and this map database update program This execution of is finished.

  In the present embodiment, a black mark is printed in advance on the back surface of the separator 84 for each display sheet 82 and at a position corresponding to the leading position thereof. The printer 40 optically reads the black mark by a sensor (not shown), detects the leading position of the display sheet 82 to be printed from now on, and starts printing. Therefore, the printer 40 can count the number of used display sheets (consumed sheets) from the latest replacement time of the roller 42. Further, since the maximum value of the number of display sheets 82 (the number of display sheets 82 wound around the roller 42 before use) is known, from the count value of the number of used display sheets 82 (the number of used sheet counts), The remaining amount of the display sheet 82 can be calculated.

  In the present embodiment, the control board 34 counts down the used sheet count value from the maximum value every time the sensor of the printer 40 reads a black mark on the back surface of the separator 84 based on a signal from the printer 40. Accordingly, the count value after the countdown (the remaining amount of the display sheet 82) is always displayed on the screen of the display 36. As a result, the person in charge can determine whether or not the maintenance of replacing the roller 42 is necessary only by looking at the display 36 without opening the door 24 of the ticketing machine 20 and examining the inside. The burden of is reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control board 34 displays the purchase history of the parking ticket 80 (history regarding the purchase date and time of the parking ticket 80 and the amount of inserted coins) in the display 36 based on the signal from the coin selector 54. Record in a removable memory (not shown). The person in charge removes the removable memory from the display 36 and attaches it to his / her own PC, confirms the purchase history of the parking ticket 80 on the PC, and eventually the coins that should have been stored in the safe 32. It is possible to estimate the total amount.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the remaining amount of the display sheet 82 is insufficient or the ticket issuing machine 20 breaks down, the control board 34 changes the background light color of the screen of the display 36 to, for example, a normal color. Change from green to red to mean warning. As a result, the person in charge can determine whether or not maintenance of the ticketing machine 20 is necessary by simply looking at the display 36 without opening the door 24 of the ticketing machine 20 and examining the inside. The burden is reduced.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the back surface of the windshield 100 is selected as an example of the position which arrange | positions the parking ticket 80 so that the printing content of the parking ticket 80 can be visually observed from the vehicle inside the parked vehicle. Therefore, even when the user places the sunshade behind the windshield 100, the reflected light from the parking ticket 80 is not blocked by the sunshade, and the parking ticket 80 can be observed from the outside of the vehicle at all times. On the other hand, it is possible to request the user to place the parking ticket 80 on the upper surface of the dashboard in the room of the parked vehicle. In this case, the user sticks the parking ticket 80 on the upper surface of the dashboard. Is not essential, just place it.

  As is clear from the above description, in the present embodiment, step S24 shown in FIG. 12 constitutes an example of the “imaging process” in the item (1), and step S25 shown in FIG. An example of “transmission process” is configured, step S41 shown in FIG. 13 constitutes an example of “reception process” in the same paragraph, and steps S42 to S56 in FIG. 13 are examples of “determination process” in the same paragraph. Among these steps, steps S47 to S52 constitute an example of the “first partial determination step” in the same paragraph, and steps S81 to S89 shown in FIG. It is composed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, steps S47, S48 and S52 to S56 in FIG. 13 constitute an example of the “second partial determination step” in the item (2).

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the parking lot 10 is lent to the user in units of one day, but a unit of continuous time shorter than 24 hours (for example, 3 hours, 6 hours, or half day) Thus, it is possible to implement the present invention in a mode of lending to a user (time lending).

  In this aspect, step S51 in the program shown in FIG. 13 is a warehousing in which the shooting date and time of the parking ticket 80 (this is received by the management center 34 from the mobile phone 100) is printed on the parking ticket 80. It is determined whether or not it exists within the parking permission time period until a predetermined time (for example, 6 hours) has elapsed from the date and time, and if it exists, the step is changed to a step for determining that the target vehicle is not improperly parked. Is done.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, since this embodiment has many elements in common with the first embodiment, the duplicate description of the common elements is omitted, and only different elements will be described in detail.

  In 1st Embodiment, the information regarding the vehicle number of each vehicle parked in the parking lot 10 and the parking ticket 80 affixed on the back surface of the windshield 100 of each vehicle is acquired by the person in charge. Is transmitted to the management center 102.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, a gate-shaped frame 140 is installed in the approximate center of the parking lot 10, and the monitoring unit 150 is mounted in the center of the frame 140. As shown in FIG. 19A, the monitoring unit 150 includes a camera 152 that can image the entire parking lot 10 and a communication unit 154 that communicates with the management center 102.

  The camera 152 has a zoom function and a pan function, and can be remotely operated from the management center 102. The magnification, angle and shooting timing of the camera 152 can be freely determined by the management center 102. FIG. 19B shows an example of an image taken for one vehicle by the camera 152. This image includes the vehicle number of the target vehicle and the parking ticket 80.

  The camera 152 is connected to the communication unit 154 so that data communication is possible, and image data generated by the camera 152 is transferred to the communication unit 154, and the communication unit 154 transmits the image data to the management center 102 wirelessly or wired. Send with. In the management center 102, the received image data is analyzed by the above-described pattern recognition technology, and from the image data, the vehicle number and the content printed on the parking ticket 80 (at least the date and time of warehousing and the location of the parking lot) ) And extract.

  According to this embodiment, the acquisition of the image data and the transmission of the image data to the management center 102 are performed without the intervention of a person in charge, so that further labor saving is possible.

  As is clear from the above description, in the present embodiment, the process in which the monitoring unit 150 automatically captures an image using the camera 152 constitutes an example of the “imaging process” in the above section (1). The process in which the monitoring unit 150 automatically transmits the imaging data to the management center 102 constitutes an example of the “transmission process” in the same section.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, since the present embodiment has many elements in common with the first or second embodiment, the overlapping description of common elements will be omitted, and only different elements will be described in detail.

  In the first and second embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, one parking ticket 80 is configured by laminating a display sheet 82 layer, an adhesive layer, and a separator 84 layer in that order. Further, the adhesive layer is applied to the back surface of the display sheet 82 so as not to be easily peeled off. When the entire display sheet 82 is peeled off from the separator 84, an adhesive layer exists on the back surface of the display sheet 82. In addition, a plurality of display sheets 82 are bonded to each other on the continuous sheet of the separator 84 so as to be wound around the roller 42 so as to be taken out, so that one parking ticket 80 can be taken out from the original fabric. Then, the continuous sheet of the separator 84 is cut.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown in a front view in FIG. 20 and a longitudinal sectional view in FIG. 21, one parking ticket 80 includes a layer of a display sheet 82, an adhesive layer 200, The layers of the separator 84 are laminated in that order, and the adhesive layer 200 is applied to the surface of the separator 84 so as not to be peeled (or not easily peeled). When the entire display sheet 82 is peeled off from the separator 84, the adhesive layer 200 exists on the surface of the separator 84. In addition, a plurality of separators 84 are bonded to each other on the continuous sheet of the display sheet 82 so as to be wound around the roller 42, and a single parking ticket 80 is taken out from the original fabric. In addition, the continuous sheet of the display sheet 82 is cut at each cutting line 202 by the cutting blade of the cutter.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the parking ticket 80 has a cut line (perforation, perforation) 204 that crosses the display sheet 82 in the width direction before it is loaded on the roller 42 of the original fabric. ing. The cut line 204 is formed only in the display sheet 82 (penetrating), and is not formed in at least the separator 84 (does not penetrate).

  When one parking ticket 80 is separated from the original fabric, printed by the printer 40, and then discharged to the user, the user peels off the portion 210 of the display sheet 82 above the tear line 204 from the separator 84. . Thereby, the part which is not coat | covered with the remaining display sheet 82 among the adhesion layers 200 is exposed. Thereafter, the user attaches the exposed adhesive layer 200 to the back surface of the windshield 100 as shown in FIG.

  Incidentally, in the first and second embodiments, the bent portion 92 is affixed to the back surface of the windshield 100, and the bent portion 92 is cut from the display sheet 82 as shown in FIG. It is bent and stress tends to concentrate on the cut bending position. Therefore, after the user attaches the parking ticket 80 to the back surface of the windshield 100, the bent portion 92 is separated from the other parts of the display sheet 82. As a result, only the bent portion 92 is the back surface of the windshield 100. In other words, the other part of the display sheet 82 (the important printed part) may fall.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, in the state where the parking ticket 80 is affixed to the back surface of the windshield 100, the separator 84 that supports the entire weight of the parking ticket 80 has a stress such as a notch or a bent portion. Therefore, there is no possibility that the portion of the parking ticket 80 that is affixed to the back surface of the windshield 100 is separated from the other portions of the display sheet 82.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, after a user affixes the parking ticket 80 on the back surface of the windshield 100, the important printing part of the parking ticket 80 does not fall.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, after the user finishes parking and issues his / her vehicle from the parking lot 10, when the parking ticket 80 needs to be used as a receipt, the user can display the display sheet 82. Is removed from the separator 84. At this time, since the adhesive layer 200 remains in the separator 84, the display sheet 82, that is, the back surface of the sheet functioning as a receipt does not need to have adhesiveness.

  As described above, some of the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, these are exemplifications, and are based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art including the aspects described in the section of [Disclosure of the Invention]. The present invention can be implemented in other forms with various modifications and improvements.
