(Parking ticket)
FIG. 9 shows a parking ticket for parking and a parking ticket for parking power feeding. The parking ticket 111 for parking shown in FIG. 9 (1) and the parking ticket 112 for feeding power shown in FIG. 9 (2) are each formed by a common recording medium 113 made of a strong piece of paper, and the surface of the recording medium 113 A magnetic stripe portion 114 is formed on the substrate.

  On the recording medium 113 of the parking ticket 111 dedicated for parking, in the area where the magnetic stripe portion 114 is not formed, there are a parking lot number 118, a ticket number 115, an issue date (entry date) 116, a description 117 of how to use, etc. Printed or printed. The parking lot number 118 is a unique number assigned to each parking lot, and the ticket number 115 is a unique number assigned to each parking ticket. The issue date and time 116 is the date and time when the parking ticket issuing machine 2 issued the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking, that is, the date and time when the vehicle entered the parking lot 201. The description 117 of the usage method is a description of the usage method of the parking lot and is printed in advance. In addition, parking number information, ticket number information, issue date information (entrance date information), status information, and the like are recorded as magnetic data in the magnetic stripe portion 114 of the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking. The parking lot number information, the ticket number information, and the issue date / time information are obtained by converting the parking lot number 118, the ticket number 115, and the issue date / time 116 into magnetic data. The status information is information indicating that the parking of the vehicle in the parking space 204 is permitted.

  On the other hand, in the area where the magnetic stripe part 114 is not formed on the recording medium of the parking ticket 112 for parking power feeding, the parking lot number 118, the ticket number 115, the issue date 116, the usage method description 117, the first The power supply permission number 121 or the like is printed or printed. The parking lot number 118, the ticket number 115, the issue date 116 and the description 117 of the usage method are the same as the parking lot number 118, the ticket number 115, the issue date 116 and the usage method description 117 of the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking, As described above. In addition, as the description 117 of the usage method, a description that fits both the parking ticket 111 for parking and the parking ticket 112 for parking power supply (for example, using the parking method and the power feeding method as shown in FIG. 9). It is desirable to print in advance according to the user's request), but only a description of the parking method is printed in advance on the parking ticket 111 for parking, It is also possible to print a description of the power feeding method in advance. Further, the first power supply permission number 121 is printed only on the parking ticket 112 for parking power feeding, and is not printed on the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking. The first power supply permission number 121 is a number that the user inputs to the power feeder 11 when power is supplied, as will be described later. Further, parking lot number information, ticket number information, issue date / time information, status information, and the like are recorded as magnetic data in the magnetic stripe portion 114 of the parking ticket 112 for power feeding for parking. The parking lot number information, the ticket number information, and the issue date / time information are obtained by converting the parking lot number 118, the ticket number 115, and the issue date / time 116 into magnetic data. The status information is information indicating that the vehicle is parked in the parking power feeding space 205 and that the vehicle is permitted to be powered. The status information recorded in the magnetic stripe part 114 of the parking ticket 112 for parking power supply is different from the status information recorded in the magnetic stripe part of the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking. As will be described later, the fee settlement machine 7 determines whether the parking ticket inserted from the parking ticket insertion slot 62 by the user is a parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking or a parking ticket 112 for parking power feeding. Judgment is made by reading the status information recorded on the magnetic stripe portion 114 of the ticket. The status information is not particularly limited as long as it is information that allows such a fee settlement machine 7 to make a determination. For example, the status information has different codes (numerical value, 1) for the parking ticket 111 dedicated to parking and the parking ticket 112 for parking power supply. Or a digital value of several bits). Specifically, the status information indicating that the vehicle is permitted to be parked in the parking space 204 is set to “0”, and the vehicle is parked in the parking power feeding space 205 and the vehicle is allowed to be powered. The status information indicating “1” may be “1”. Further, the status information may be combined with the ticket number (ticket number information). For example, status information “0” indicating that the vehicle is permitted to be parked in the parking space 204 is displayed as the ticket number (ticket number information). It is combined with “123” to become “123-0”, and status information “1” indicating that the vehicle is parked in the parking power feeding space 205 and the vehicle is permitted to be powered is given a ticket number (ticket number). Information) “456” may be combined with “456”.

(Processing when entering)
FIG. 10 shows a process when the vehicle enters the parking lot management system 1. As shown in FIG. 10, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 4 embedded on the front side of the gate bar 3 </ b> A of the entrance gate opening / closing device 3 with the vehicle sensor 41 in the entrance roadway 202. Yes. In addition, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 4, receives the payment execution information from the fee adjustment machine 7, reduces the power supply count value based on the payment execution information, and A process of comparing the power supply count value with the power supply upper limit and transmitting a display control signal to the full vehicle indicator lamp 6 based on the result is performed (steps S22 and S23), which will be described in detail later.

  When the user causes the vehicle to enter the entrance lane 202, the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 4 changes. The parking ticket issuing machine 2 detects this change with the vehicle sensor 41 (step S1: YES). Subsequently, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 outputs a voice guide for entrance guidance from the speaker 26, and displays an entrance guidance message on the screen of the display 21 (step S2). Specifically, "Please press the parking ticket issuance button and take the parking ticket. If you have a commuter pass, please insert the commuter pass. If you use a charger, please press the charging button. And the character display. Subsequently, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors whether the parking-dedicated parking ticket issuing button 22 is pressed, whether a commuter pass is inserted, or whether the parking power feeding parking ticket issuing button 23 is pressed.

  When the parking ticket issuing button 22 is pressed by the user (step S3: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 issues a parking ticket (see FIG. 9 (1)) dedicated to parking (step S4). Specifically, the current date and time are read from the clock circuit 34, the parking lot number and ticket number are printed on the parking ticket recording medium 113, and the date and time read from the clock circuit 34 are recorded as the issue date and time. Parking lot number information, ticket number information, and issue date / time information corresponding to the printed parking lot number, ticket number, and issue date / time are recorded in the magnetic stripe unit 114, and the vehicle is parked in the parking space 204. Status information indicating that permission is granted is recorded in the magnetic stripe portion 114. Then, the parking ticket is sent to the parking ticket issuing port 24. Note that the description 117 of the usage method is printed in advance on the recording medium 113 used as a parking ticket for parking and a parking ticket for parking power feeding.

  Subsequently, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors whether or not the issued parking ticket for parking has been extracted by the user. When the parking ticket dedicated for parking is extracted by the user (step S5: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 transmits a control signal from the gate opening / closing control unit 39 to the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 to enter. The gate bar 3A of the gate opening / closing device 3 is opened (step S6). Further, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 5 embedded in the back side of the gate bar 3 </ b> A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 with the vehicle sensor 41. When the user's vehicle moves on the entrance lane 202 toward the parking lot 201, and the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 5 thereby changes, the vehicle sensor 41 detects the passage of the vehicle from this change (step S7: YES) In response to this, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 controls the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 by the gate opening / closing machine control unit 39, and closes the gate bar 3A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 (step S8). Thereby, a series of admission processing is completed, and the processing returns to step S1 in order to perform admission processing for the next admission vehicle.

  In addition, after the parking ticket issuing machine 2 performs the entrance guidance in step S2, while monitoring the pressing of the parking dedicated parking ticket issuing button 22, the insertion of the commuter pass, and the pressing of the parking power supply parking ticket issuing button 23 are monitored. When the user inserts a commuter pass into the parking ticket issuing port 24 (step S9: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 reads the information recorded on the commuter pass and performs a predetermined process. Thereafter, the commuter pass is sent back to the parking ticket issuing port 24. Subsequently, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors whether or not the commuter pass has been extracted. After the commuter ticket has been extracted, the gate bar 3A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 is opened and the entrance gate is opened and closed after passing the vehicle. Processing to close the gate bar 3A of the machine 3 is performed (steps S5 to S8).

  On the other hand, while the parking ticket issuing machine 2 provides the entrance guidance in step S2, while monitoring the pressing of the parking dedicated parking ticket issuing button 22, the insertion of the commuter pass, and the pressing of the parking power feeding parking ticket issuing button 23 are monitored. When the user presses the parking power supply parking ticket issuing button 23 (step S10: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 has a parking power supply space 205 that is currently empty, as will be described in detail later. It is determined whether or not there is an empty parking power feeding space 205 (step S11: NO), and a guidance message indicating that the parking power feeding space 205 is full is displayed on the display 21 (step S12). Again, the process returns to the process of monitoring the pressing of the parking ticket issuing button 22, the insertion of the commuter pass, and the pressing of the parking power supply parking ticket issuing button 23.

  On the other hand, when there is an empty parking power feeding space 205 (step S11: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 issues a parking ticket for parking power feeding (see FIG. 9 (2)) (step S13). Specifically, the current year, month, day, and hour are read from the clock circuit 34, a first power supply permission number is generated as will be described later, the parking lot number and the ticket number are printed on the parking ticket recording medium 113, and the clock The date and time read from the circuit 34 is printed on the recording medium 113 as the issue date and time, and the generated first power supply permission number is printed on the recording medium 113. Subsequently, the parking lot number information, ticket number information and issue date / time information corresponding to the printed parking lot number, ticket number and issue date / time are recorded in the magnetic stripe portion 114, and the vehicle is parked in the parking power feeding space 205 and the vehicle. Is recorded in the magnetic stripe portion 114, indicating that the power supply is permitted. Then, the parking ticket is sent to the parking ticket issuing port 24. In addition, as described above, the description 117 of the usage method has the same content printed in advance on the recording medium 113 used as a parking ticket for parking and a parking ticket for parking power feeding.

  Here, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 performs a calculation by a predetermined calculation method using the year, month, day, hour and minute read from the clock circuit 34 as a variable when issuing the parking ticket for parking power supply, A first power supply permission number for printing is generated. For example, if the date and time read from the clock circuit 34 when issuing a parking ticket for parking power supply is 8:45 on December 6, 2010, the date and time is indicated by the character string “201012060845”. The hash value of this character string is obtained using a hash function, and the last four digits of the hash value are set as the first power supply permission number. As a result, if the issue date of the parking ticket for parking power supply changes, the first power supply permission number also changes. Therefore, each time a parking ticket for parking power supply is issued, a different first power supply permission number is obtained. Generated. In generating the first power supply permission number, a hash value is obtained by combining the character string corresponding to the date and time when issuing the parking ticket for parking power supply with the character string corresponding to the ticket number. You may do it. Further, a series of numbers indicating the date and time may be handled as one numerical value, and a numerical value obtained by substituting this numerical value into a predetermined function may be used as the first power supply permission number.

  After issuing the parking ticket for parking power feeding, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors whether or not the issued parking power feeding parking ticket has been extracted by the user. When the parking ticket for parking power supply is extracted by the user (step S14: YES), the parking ticket issuing machine 2 transmits a control signal from the gate opening / closing control unit 39 to the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3, The gate bar 3A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 is opened (step S15). Further, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 5 embedded in the back side of the gate bar 3 </ b> A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 with the vehicle sensor 41. When the user moves the vehicle into the parking lot 201 and thereby changes the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 5, the vehicle sensor 41 detects the passage of the vehicle from this change (step S16: YES). In response to this, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 controls the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 by the gate opening / closing machine control unit 39, and closes the gate bar 3A of the entrance gate opening / closing machine 3 (step S17). Subsequently, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 increases the power supply unit count value by 1, and then compares the power supply unit count value with the power supply unit upper limit value, and based on the result, displays the display control signal to the full vehicle indicator lamp 6. A transmission process is performed (steps S18 and S19), which will be described in detail later. Thereby, a series of admission processing is completed, and the processing returns to step S1 in order to perform admission processing for the next admission vehicle.

  According to the process at the time of entrance in the parking lot management system 1 as described above, the user can select the parking ticket issuing button 22 for parking and the parking ticket issuing button 23 for power feeding by parking. Of the exclusive parking ticket and the parking ticket for parking power supply, an appropriate parking ticket according to whether or not power is supplied to the vehicle can be easily and reliably received.

(Processing during power supply)
A user who has issued a parking ticket dedicated to parking and enters the vehicle into the parking lot 201 parks the vehicle in the parking space 204. On the other hand, a user who has issued a parking ticket for parking power supply and has entered the vehicle into the parking lot 201 parks the vehicle in the parking power supply space 205 and supplies power to the vehicle by the power supply 11. Here, processing at the time of power feeding to the vehicle is as follows.

  That is, after the user parks the vehicle in the parking power supply space 205, the user operates the numeric keypad 92 of the power supply 11 to give the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking power supply parking ticket to the power supply 11. input. First, the power feeder 11 performs a calculation by a predetermined calculation method using the input completion date and time of the power supply permission number 121 input by the user, that is, the current date and time as a variable, and generates a second power supply permission number. Specifically, the power feeder 11 generates the second power supply permission number by the same calculation method as the calculation method generated by the parking ticket issuing machine 2 using the first power supply permission number 121. That is, the power feeder 11 reads the input completion date / time (year / month / day / hour / minute) of the power supply permission number 121 input by the user from the clock circuit 107, converts the read year / month / day / hour / minute into a character string, and the parking ticket. The issuing machine 2 obtains the hash value of the character string for the year / month / date / time using the same hash function as the hash function used to generate the first power supply permission number 121, and sets the last four digits of the hash value. No. 2 power supply permission number. As a result, the user inputs the power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking power supply parking ticket that is properly issued, and the input completion date and time is issued by the parking ticket issuing machine 2. If the date and time match, the power feeder 11 generates a second power supply permission number that is the same as the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking ticket. On the other hand, when the user inputs a numerical value that is not the power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking power supply parking ticket that is normally issued, the input completion date and time is parked for parking power supply by the parking ticket issuing machine 2. Even if it coincides with the date and time when the ticket is issued, the power supply 11 generates a second power supply permission number different from the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking ticket. Next, the power feeder 11 includes the first power supply permission number input by the user, that is, the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking power supply parking ticket, and the generated second power supply permission number. If the first power supply permission number 121 matches the second power supply permission number as a result of the comparison, power supply is permitted. Subsequently, the user connects the power supply connector 94 to the vehicle and presses the power supply start button 93. As a result, the power feeding control unit 105 operates and power feeding to the vehicle by the power feeder 11 is performed. On the other hand, if the first power supply permission number 121 input by the user does not match the generated second power supply permission number, the power feeder 11 does not permit power supply. In this case, even if the user connects the power supply connector 94 to the vehicle and presses the power supply start button 93, power supply is not performed. When the second power supply permission number is generated by the power feeder 11, a character string of a past date and time that goes back at least about 5 minutes from the current date and time (year / month / date / time) is generated in units of minutes. 2 power supply permission numbers are generated and collated with the first power supply permission number input by the user and each of the plurality of second power supply permission numbers. As a result of the collation, the first power supply permission number 121 is obtained. It is preferable that power supply be permitted when any of the plurality of second power supply permission numbers matches. As a result, in association with the phrase “within 5 minutes” printed on the parking power supply parking ticket and the like as described above, the first power supply is made by the user within that time. If the input of the permission number is completed, the power supply can be permitted.

  According to the process at the time of power supply in the parking lot management system 1 as described above, it is possible to prevent an illegal act such as avoiding payment of the power supply fee even though the user supplies power to the vehicle. That is, the first power supply permission number 121 is not printed on the parking ticket dedicated to parking. Moreover, since the 1st power supply permission number 121 is a hash value of the issuance date and time of the parking ticket for parking power supply, for example, the first power supply permission number from the issuance date and time printed on the parking ticket dedicated for parking by the user. It is extremely difficult to predict 121. Therefore, a user who only parks cannot use the power feeder 11 to power the vehicle. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act such that a user performs power supply to the vehicle while pretending to use only parking, and is prevented from paying the power supply fee. Moreover, if the issue date and time of the parking ticket for parking power supply changes, the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking ticket changes, and as a result, it changes every time a parking ticket for parking power supply is issued. Since the first power supply permission number 121 is printed, a person who has received a parking ticket for parking power supply inputs the first power supply permission number 121 printed on the parking ticket to the power feeder 11 to the vehicle. After the power supply is performed once, the same first power supply permission number 121 is input again or repeatedly to the power supply 11 at a later date, and the power supply to the vehicle is performed again or repeatedly to pay the power supply fee for the second and subsequent charging. It is possible to prevent fraud such as escaping.

  When the user removes the power supply connector 94 from the vehicle after power supply or during power supply, the power supply may not be resumed even if the first power supply permission number 121 is input to the power supply 11 again. . As a result, after receiving a parking ticket for parking power supply, one vehicle enters the parking lot 201 and then enters the parking lot 201 without receiving a parking ticket for parking power supply. By supplying power to this vehicle, it is possible to prevent an illegal act such as avoiding a power supply fee for power supply to the other vehicle.

(Processing when participating)
When a user who has finished parking or feeding power enters the vehicle into the participation path 203, the oscillation state of the participation loop coil 9 changes. The fee settlement machine 7 detects this change with the vehicle sensor 82, and then outputs a voice guide for settlement guidance from the speaker 75 and displays a settlement guidance message on the screen of the display 61. Accordingly, when the user has a parking ticket for parking, the user inserts the parking ticket for parking into the parking ticket insertion slot 62, and the user has a parking ticket for parking power feeding. If there is, the parking power supply parking ticket is inserted into the parking ticket insertion slot 62. Subsequently, the fee settlement machine 7 starts a settlement process.

  In the settlement process, the fee settlement machine 7 issues the date and time information recorded in the magnetic stripe part 114 of the parking ticket inserted by the user and the settlement date and time (year / month) read from the clock circuit 74 of the fee settlement machine 7 at the time of settlement. The parking time is calculated based on the date and time. Furthermore, the fee settlement machine 7 determines whether the parking ticket is a parking ticket for parking or a parking ticket for parking power supply based on the status information recorded in the magnetic stripe part 114 of the parking ticket inserted by the user. Determine if there is. In addition, parking number information and ticket number information prevent fraudulent acts that use parking tickets of other parking lots or bring back and use only parking tickets without entering the parking lot when issuing parking tickets. Although it is used as invalid ticket number information for the purpose, detailed description is omitted. Subsequently, when the parking ticket is a parking ticket for parking, the fee settlement machine 7 calculates the amount of parking fee based on the calculated parking time and a predetermined parking fee system (first fee system). To do. On the other hand, when the parking ticket is a parking ticket for parking power supply, the fee settlement machine 7 determines the amount of parking power supply fee based on the calculated parking time and a predetermined parking power supply fee system (second fee system). Is calculated. Here, the amount of the parking power supply fee per unit time in the parking power supply fee system is set higher than the amount of the parking fee per unit time in the parking fee system in consideration of the power supply fee in addition to the parking fee. For example, the amount of parking fee per hour in the parking fee system is 300 yen, whereas the amount of parking power fee per hour in the parking fee system is 600 yen. Note that the unit time in the parking power supply fee system may be shorter than the unit time in the parking fee system. For example, in the parking fee system, the fee may be increased in units of one hour, whereas in the parking power supply fee system, the fee may be increased in units of 30 minutes or 15 minutes.

  Subsequently, the fee settlement machine 7 displays the calculated fee amount on the display 61. In response to this, when the user pays the fee, the fee settlement machine 7 transmits a control signal from the gate opening / closing control unit 81 to the entry gate opening / closing device 8, and the gate bar 8 </ b> A of the entry gate opening / closing device 8. Open. Then, when the user moves the vehicle toward the outside of the parking lot 201, thereby changing the oscillation state of the participation loop coil 10, and the vehicle sensor 82 detects the passage of the vehicle from this change, Then, the gate controller 8 is controlled by the gate controller 81, and the gate bar 8A of the gate controller 8 is closed. Subsequently, when the fee settlement machine 7 performs settlement for the user who inserted the parking ticket for parking power feeding, that is, the user who powered the vehicle while parking in the parking power feeding space 205, The payment execution information indicating the fact is transmitted to the parking ticket issuing machine 2.

  According to the process at the time of participation in the parking management system 1 as described above, is the parking ticket a parking ticket dedicated to parking based on the status information recorded on the parking ticket inserted into the fee settlement machine 7? Judging whether the parking ticket is for parking power supply, according to the result of the determination, the parking fee system was used to pay for the parking-only users, and the vehicle was powered while parking. The user can be paid for by the parking power supply fee system. Thereby, it is possible to easily collect a power supply fee for a user who has supplied power.

(Empty car management process)
The parking lot management system 1 monitors the availability of the parking power supply space 205 in the above-described process at the time of entry and the process at entry, and displays the availability of the parking power supply space 205 on the full vehicle indicator lamp 6, When there is no vacant parking power supply space 205, a fully-empty vehicle management process is performed in which a parking ticket for parking power supply is not issued.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the parking ticket issuer 2 increments the power supply count value stored in the memory 32 by 1 each time a parking ticket for parking power supply is issued in step S <b> 18. On the other hand, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 monitors reception of the payment execution information from the fee payment machine 7 in step S22 while monitoring the oscillation state of the entrance loop coil 4. Further, when the user who has supplied power to the vehicle while parking has inserted the parking ticket for parking power supply and performed the payment, the fee adjusting machine 7 displays the payment execution information indicating that fact to the parking ticket issuing machine. 2 to send. When the parking ticket issuing machine 2 receives the settlement execution information from the fee settlement machine 7, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 decrements the power supply number count value by one. In this way, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 counts the number of vehicles parked in the parking power supply space 205 using the power supply number count value. Then, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 compares the power supply number count value with the predetermined power supply number upper limit value stored in the memory 32 immediately after the power supply number count value increases. The upper limit value for the number of power supplies corresponds to the number of parking power supply spaces 205 in the parking lot 201. When the power supply number count value reaches the power supply number upper limit value, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 displays that the parking power supply space 205 is full by the full vehicle indicator light 6 in step S23 in FIG. A display control signal to that effect is transmitted to the full vehicle indicator lamp 6. On the other hand, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 compares the power supply unit count value with a predetermined power supply unit upper limit value immediately after the power supply unit count value decreases, and if the power supply unit count value falls below the power supply unit upper limit value, In step S19 in FIG. 10, a display control signal for displaying that the parking power feeding space 205 is empty is transmitted to the full vehicle indicator lamp 6 by the full vehicle indicator lamp 6.

  Furthermore, when the user presses the parking power supply parking ticket issuance button 23, the parking ticket issuing machine 2 displays a parking power supply parking ticket when the power supply number count value reaches the upper limit value of the power supply number. Not issued (step S11 in FIG. 10: NO). Then, in order to inform the user that there is no vacant parking power supply space 205, in step S12 in FIG. 10, for example, a guidance message such as “The parking power supply space is full and cannot be used now” is displayed. 21.

According to the full vehicle management process of the parking lot management system 1 as described above, it is possible to prevent a parking ticket for parking power supply from being issued even though there is no free parking power supply space 205. . In addition, the user can grasp the vacant state of the parking power feeding space 205 before entering the parking lot 201 by looking at the full vehicle indicator lamp 6.
