Here, although the identification ID is issued based on the vehicle number, it is sufficient if a unique identification ID can be issued, and other methods may be adopted.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the parking lot management system 1 will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. As shown in this figure, the parking lot management system 1 includes a parking lot management device 10, an entrance gate device 21, a register device 22, a portable terminal 23, and an exit gate device 24. The parking lot management device 10 includes a console device 11, a central processing control device 12, a parking fee master 13, vehicle data 14 and 17, purchase history data 15, and parking fee settlement data 16. The entrance gate device 21 and the exit gate device 24 are installed in a parking lot, the parking lot management device 10 is installed in a management facility of the parking lot, and the register device 22 is installed in a commercial facility.

  The console device 11 is a device for creating (editing / registering) a parking fee master 13. The administrator creates the parking fee master 13 while looking at the screen of the console device 11. The created parking fee master 13 is transmitted from the console device 11 to the central processing control device 12.

  The entrance gate device 21 includes a gate bar that restricts entrance of the vehicle. When the vehicle enters, the camera is photographed by a camera, and the vehicle number of the vehicle is read from the photographed image by the image recognition function. The read vehicle number is transmitted to the central processing control device 12 and the vehicle data 14 returned from the central processing control device 12 is received. When the passenger depresses the passenger number input key of the entrance gate device 21, the number of passengers is displayed and the use ticket T assigned with the identification ID is issued for the number of passengers. For example, when there are three passengers, three use tickets T1 to T3 are issued as shown in FIG. On the use tickets T1 to T3, the same identification number (123) as the same vehicle number (OxOx) is printed. Branch number 1 is printed on the use ticket T1, branch number 2 is printed on the use ticket T2, and branch number 3 is printed on the use ticket T3. Of course, the identification ID and branch number may be a barcode. In this way, when a plurality of use tickets T are issued, the number information is transmitted to the central processing control device 12. When the customer receives the use ticket T, the gate bar is opened.

  The register device 22 reads the identification ID from the use ticket T presented when the customer purchases the product in the commercial facility. The purchase details of the product are transmitted to the central processing control device 12 as purchase history data 15 together with the read identification ID. Since a plurality of use tickets T are issued for passengers, even when a plurality of customers purchase products at different stores at the same time, the store clerk reads the identification ID of the use ticket T at the register device 22 and purchases it. The history data 15 can be transmitted.

  The central processing control device 12 receives and registers the parking fee master 13, a function of assigning an identification ID, a function of managing the purchase price in the commercial facility, the parking fee master 13 and the purchase history data 15. It has a function to calculate charges. Details will be described later.

  The mobile terminal 23 is a mobile phone or the like possessed by a user. The parking fee can be settled in advance using the portable terminal 23. That is, when the identification ID of the use ticket T is input or read by the portable terminal 23, the parking fee is settled by communicating with the parking fee settlement function on the central processing control device 12 via the communication network. After confirming the parking fee with the parking fee settlement function, the user performs settlement by pressing the settlement button.

  The exit gate device 24 includes a gate bar that restricts entry of the vehicle. When a user approaches the exit gate device 24, the vehicle is photographed by the camera, and the vehicle number of the vehicle is read from the photographed image by the image recognition function. The read vehicle data 17 is transmitted to the central processing control device 12 and the parking fee settlement data 16 returned from the central processing control device 12 is received. Here, when the state of the pre-payment information of the parking fee settlement data 16 has already been settled or the parking fee is free, the gate bar is opened. On the other hand, when the state of the pre-payment information in the parking fee settlement data 16 is not settled, the gate bar is not opened until the parking fee is settled at the settlement counter of the exit gate device 24. When the payment is completed, data obtained by updating the prior payment information of the parking fee payment data 16 to the payment completed is transmitted to the central processing control device 12.

  The vehicle data 14 is data for managing parked vehicles. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, each vehicle has data such as an identification ID and a vehicle number. The identification ID is a unique number issued when the use ticket T is issued. The vehicle number is the vehicle number of the vehicle read by the image recognition function. Although the vehicle data 14 is illustrated here, the configuration of the vehicle data 17 is the same.

  The parking fee settlement data 16 is settlement data for parked vehicles. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, each vehicle has data such as an identification ID, branch number, entry date / time, delivery date / time, vehicle number, pre-payment information, parking fee, settlement date / time, and settlement type. The branch number is a number given to a ticket issuing unit when a plurality of use tickets T are issued. The warehousing date and time is the date and time when passing through the entrance gate device 21. The delivery date and time is the date and time when the exit gate device 24 is passed. The pre-payment information is information for determining whether or not pre-payment has been completed. The parking fee is a parking fee calculated at the time of settlement. The settlement date and time is the date and time when settlement is completed. The settlement type is a payment method at the time of settlement.

  The purchase history data 15 is data for managing a history of products purchased by a customer in a commercial facility. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it has data such as a serial number, identification ID, branch number, purchase date and time, purchase amount, and payment type. The serial number is a number assigned at the time of product purchase. The identification ID is an identification ID assigned to the use ticket T. The branch number is a branch number given to the use ticket T. The purchase date and time is the date and time when the product is purchased. The purchase amount is the amount of purchase of the product. The payment type is a payment method.

  The parking fee master 13 is master data for registering a parking fee. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the data includes application date and time, parking time, parking fee, purchase price, and the like. The application date and time is the date and time when the charge is applied. The parking time is the time when the vehicle is parked. The parking fee is a charged fee. The purchase amount is the amount of purchase of the product.

  8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the operation of the central processing control device 12. Hereinafter, the configuration of the central processing control device 12 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

  First, when the central processing control device 12 receives a vehicle number from the entrance gate device 21, it creates parking fee settlement data 16 including an identification ID, a vehicle number, a warehousing time, and the like (step S1). Next, the vehicle data (vehicle number) included in the parking fee settlement data 16 is transmitted to the entrance gate device 21. When the information on the number of used tickets T issued additionally at the entrance gate device 21 is received from the entrance gate device 21, the branch number of the parking fee settlement data 16 is incremented by the number of issued tickets (step S2). When the purchase history data 15 is received from the register device 22, the purchase history data 15 is stored (step S3). When the identification ID is received from the portable terminal 23, it is confirmed whether or not the parking fee settlement data 16 for the identification ID exists, and if it exists, the parking fee is calculated (step S4). Next, the parking fee settlement data 16 and the purchase history data 15 are extracted based on the identification ID received from the portable terminal 23. Since data is extracted for each identification ID, the purchase history for branch numbers is also extracted, and the purchase history of all passengers can be extracted. Even if the receipt is lost, since the purchase history is registered in the purchase history data 15, the lost amount can be added to the subject of aggregation (step S5). Next, a parking fee is calculated based on the calculated purchase price and parking time, and is transmitted to the portable terminal 23 (step S6). The parking time can be calculated from the difference between the warehousing time and the scheduled delivery time (a time obtained by adding a certain time to the current time). When the parking fee settlement data 16 is received from the portable terminal 23, the prior settlement information of the parking fee settlement data 16 is updated to the settlement (step S7). When the vehicle data 17 is received from the exit gate device 24, the parking fee settlement data 16 is extracted based on the vehicle number included in the vehicle data 17 and transmitted to the exit gate device 24 (step S8). When the pre-payment information of the parking fee settlement data 16 is not yet settled, after the settlement is completed at the exit gate device 24, when the identification ID is received from the portable terminal 23, the pre-payment information is updated to be settled (step S9).

  According to the embodiment described above, since the use tickets to which a unique identification ID is given are issued for the number of passengers, the purchase price of all the passengers is appropriately and easily calculated to calculate the parking fee. Can do. As a result, even if a customer who has been accompanied by a family purchases a product separately, it is possible to add up the purchase amount of all passengers. Moreover, it becomes possible to add up the payment amount of a general parking lot customer who has not registered as a purchase amount. Furthermore, even if the receipt is lost, the lost amount can be added up as a purchase amount. In addition, according to this embodiment, since the identification ID is issued based on the vehicle number, a unique identification ID can be issued reliably and easily for each vehicle.

  In addition, although embodiment demonstrated the case where goods were purchased, suppose that a service is also contained in goods here. That is, when a fee is paid when a service is received in a predetermined commercial facility, the fee can be included in the purchase amount and totaled.

  Moreover, the method of the use ticket T may be a magnetic method or a method of storing information in an IC card, and is not particularly limited. For example, it is also possible for the ticket issuing unit 34 to issue an electronic use ticket and transmit it to the mobile terminal 23 possessed by each passenger of the vehicle. The portable terminal 23 in this case includes a non-contact IC card. In such a configuration, since the mobile terminal 23 serves as the use ticket T, the possibility of losing the use ticket T can be reduced.

  In the embodiment, the user presses the passenger number input key of the entrance gate device 21, but the method of inputting the number of passengers is not limited to this. For example, the manager of the parking lot may press the passenger number input key of the entrance gate device 21, or the image taken by the entrance gate device 21 may be analyzed to automatically determine the number of passengers.
