  Hereinafter, embodiments of a parking information processing apparatus and the like will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, since the component and step which attached | subjected the same code | symbol in embodiment perform the same operation | movement, description may be abbreviate | omitted again.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the parking system in the present embodiment. The parking system includes a parking information processing apparatus 1, a communication terminal 2, a ticketing machine 3, a payment machine 4, a prior payment machine 5, and a sensor 6. In addition, when there are a plurality of sensors 6 and the plurality of sensors 6 are distinguished from each other, a symbol is written so that each can be identified, such as sensors 6a, 6b,.

  The parking information processing apparatus 1, the communication terminal 2, the ticket issuing machine 3, the payment machine 4, the advance payment machine 5, and the sensor 6 are communicably connected via a network such as the Internet or a wireless LAN. However, in this connection, for example, short-distance wireless such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or wired P2P connection may be used, and the connection method is not limited.

  The parking system in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and for example, at least a part of the ticket issuing machine 3, the payment machine 4, the pre-payment machine 5, and the sensor 6 may be omitted. For example, in the case of a parking system used for paid parking on the road, the ticket issuing machine 3 and the checkout machine 4 may be integrated. The integrated settlement machine 4 here includes a concept of settlement in advance. In addition, components other than those shown in the figure, such as an entrance gate, an exit gate, and a monitoring camera, may be added to the parking system.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram regarding an example of a facility using the parking system of FIG. This facility has a store, a parking lot, and a management room. The facility in FIG. 2 is merely an example, and at least a part of the store and the management room may be omitted. Further, the management room may be, for example, a management room of a headquarters that manages a plurality of stores and a plurality of parking lots.

  The parking lot has one or more parking spaces (for example, parking spaces P1, P2, P3,...). In the form shown in FIG. 2, each parking space has a moving body (for example, moving bodies M1, M2, M2). M3 ... is parked. In addition, although a mobile body is a motor vehicle, a motorbike etc. normally, a bicycle etc. may be sufficient and a kind will not be ask | required if it carries a person.

  The parking information processing apparatus 1 is an apparatus that acquires and outputs the shipping information. Delivery information is information indicating the schedule of delivery, for example, whether there is a parking space that seems to be available soon, when parking space is available, which parking space is available, and which parking space is available. is there. However, the leaving information may be information that specifies at least one of whether or not it will soon be available, a place to be available, and a time to be available. The parking information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a server (such as a computer system 900 described later) provided in a management room, but may be a cloud server on a network and the installation location is not limited.

  The communication terminal 2 is, for example, an in-vehicle communication terminal (for example, a car navigation system, an ETC device, or the like) mounted on a mobile body, and presents a schedule for leaving by communicating with the parking information processing apparatus 1. Alternatively, the communication terminal 2 may be, for example, a mobile communication terminal (smart phone, tablet terminal, etc.) carried by a user who rides on a mobile body (drives the mobile body), and the type is not limited. The hardware configuration of this type of server (see above), in-vehicle communication terminal or portable communication terminal is known, and the present invention can be realized with a known hardware configuration, so an example will be described at the end of the embodiment. stop.

  The parking lot is a place having one or two or more parking spaces for parking a moving body, for example, parking of facilities such as shopping centers and parks, coin parking in the city, parking on the street, and the like. The parking lot in this embodiment is usually a paid parking lot, but may be a free parking lot.

  The ticket issuing machine 3 is normally provided near the entrance of a parking lot and issues a parking ticket in which warehousing information is recorded to a moving body (for example, the moving body M4) that is about to enter the parking space. However, two or more ticketing machines 3 may be provided corresponding to two or more parking spaces, and issue a ticket to a moving object that has entered the parking space.

  The warehousing information is information relating to the parking of the moving body into the parking space. For example, the moving body identifier for identifying the moving body (parking ticket issue number, license plate vehicle number, etc.), and the moving body is parked. It has a warehousing time, etc., which is the time when the warehousing (or the warehousing) is performed. The entry time may be the time when the moving body enters the parking lot (entrance time), or may be a time obtained by adding a certain time (for example, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.) to the entry time.

  The ticket issuing machine 3 has, for example, a detection unit such as an infrared sensor and an image sensor, and a clock. When the detection unit detects a moving object that is about to enter the parking lot, the ticketing machine 3 acquires the current time from the clock and responds to this. The parking ticket which recorded the warehousing time and moving body identifier to be issued is issued. In addition, when using a vehicle number as a moving body identifier, the image sensor which image | photographs the number plate of a moving body is used as a detection part of the ticketing machine 3, and the ticketing machine 3 uses a number plate based on the image from an image sensor. Has a character recognition function for recognizing the vehicle number.

  The checkout machine 4 collects the parking ticket for the moving body that is about to leave the parking lot, and calculates the parking fee based on the warehousing information recorded in the parking ticket. At this time, settlement information is created. The checkout machine 4 is usually provided near the exit of the parking lot or along the route from the parking space to the exit, but the installation location is not limited. The settlement information is information relating to the settlement of the parking fee, and includes, for example, a settlement time that is a settlement time, a settlement parking fee that indicates the parking fee that has been settled, and a moving object identifier.

  The advance settlement machine 5 collects the parking ticket for the moving body parked in the parking lot before the user gets on the moving body (before leaving), and calculates the parking fee based on the warehousing information recorded therein. Carry out advance payment of parking fees. At this time, pre-payment information relating to the pre-payment of charges is created. The pre-payment machine 5 is usually provided at a predetermined position in the facility, for example, in a parking lot, in a store, or a passage between the store and the parking lot, but the installation location is not limited.

  Note that the pre-payment information includes, for example, a pre-payment time indicating the time when the pre-payment is performed, a mobile object identifier, and the like. However, the prior settlement information may have a scheduled shipping time indicating the time at which the mobile unit is scheduled to leave the parking space instead of or in addition to the preliminary settlement time, and the preliminary settlement has been completed. You may further have a pre-paid parking fee indicating the parking fee.

  The scheduled delivery time may be, for example, a time obtained by adding the maximum time (parking available time) that can be parked with a pre-paid parking fee to the entry time. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the available parking time (parking fee) is set to 400 yen / 2 hours. And if the warehousing time is 10:30, 12:30 which added 2 hours which is the maximum time which can be parked becomes the scheduled warehousing time. Alternatively, the scheduled delivery time may be a time obtained by adding a certain time to the prior checkout time. The fixed time (addition time) to be added may be a fixed value such as 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or the like. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the addition time is set to 30 minutes. If the pre-settlement time is 12:30, the pre-settlement machine 5 is 13:00, which is 30 minutes added to 12:30, as the scheduled delivery time. Further, the addition time may be a different value depending on the installation position of the pre-payment machine 5 in the parking lot. For example, the pre-accounting machine 5 located in the parking lot sets a time obtained by adding a short first addition time to the pre-payment time as the scheduled departure time, and outside the parking lot (for example, between the parking lot and the store) The pre-accounting machine 5 located in the aisle) may set a time obtained by adding a second addition time longer than the first addition time to the pre-settlement time as the scheduled delivery time. In addition, the calculation regarding the scheduled delivery time such as the available parking time and the addition time is set in the parking information processing apparatus 1.

  Note that the settlement machine 4 and the advance settlement machine 5 accept card information such as credit cards and prepaid cards via terminals such as the communication terminal 2, smartphone, tablet terminal, and POS terminal, and perform electronic payment of parking fees. It may be a settlement server to perform. The settlement server uses, for example, the warehousing information created by the ticket-issuing machine 3, the card information received via the terminal, and the same fee information used by the settlement machine 4 and the prior settlement machine 5 in advance of the parking fee. Checkout and create pre-checkout information.

  The sensor 6 detects a moving body present in the parking space and outputs a signal indicating the detection result, and is provided for each parking space. For example, an image sensor or an infrared sensor is used. The number of sensors 6 for each parking space is arbitrarily set according to the application. For example, the sensor 6a provided corresponding to the parking space P1 detects a moving body existing in the parking space P1 (in the case of an image sensor, further recognizes the vehicle number), and identifies a space identifier “ A signal having P1 ″ and presence / absence information (in the case of an image sensor, a vehicle number) that is information indicating whether or not there is a moving object is output. The presence / absence information includes, for example, a pair of a space identifier for identifying a parking space and a flag indicating the presence / absence of a moving object. As described above, the sensors 6a, 6b,... Are image sensors when the vehicle number is used as the moving body identifier, but may be an infrared sensor when the ticket issuing number is used as the moving body identifier, and the type is not limited.

  The storage unit 11 constituting the parking information processing apparatus 1 includes an identifier for identifying the parking information processing apparatus 1, an identifier for identifying each communication terminal 2, an identifier for identifying the ticket issuing machine 3, an identifier for identifying the checkout machine 4, An identifier for identifying the settlement machine 5 is stored. In addition, an identifier for identifying the communication terminal 2, an identifier for identifying the parking information processing apparatus 1, and the like are stored in the terminal storage unit 21 (see later). Note that the ticket issuing machine 3, the checkout machine 4, and the pre-checkout machine 5 also have a recording medium in which an identifier for identifying the device, an identifier for identifying the parking information processing apparatus 1, and the like are stored. Such an identifier is used, for example, as an address when information is transmitted / received between apparatuses via a network. Such an identifier is usually an IP address, a MAC address, or the like, but the type is not limited. Although not particularly mentioned below, such an identifier is usually added as a transmission source identifier or a transmission destination identifier to information transmitted / received between apparatuses.

  The storage unit 11 stores map information. The map information includes information on maps in the whole country, region, facility, and parking lot, and includes, for example, geometric data constituting the background of the map, phase data for route guidance and search, and the like. The geometric data is, for example, line data expressing a line such as a road, surface data expressing a surface such as a park, and the like. The phase data is, for example, data such as a road network, and includes a set of intersections (nodes) and roads (edges). However, the data structure of map information does not matter. Moreover, the information regarding the map in a parking lot contains the layout information etc. which show the layout of the parking space which the said parking lot has, for example. The layout here is, for example, the shape, position, size, etc. of the parking space. The shape of the parking space is usually a rectangle, but may be a shape other than a rectangle such as a circle. The layout information is usually expressed by the coordinates of two points that define the rectangle corresponding to the parking space (the coordinates of the two vertices facing each other). For example, the coordinates of the center of gravity of the rectangle, the vertical and horizontal sizes, and the center point of the circle It may be expressed by the coordinates and radius, etc., and the expression format is not limited. The coordinates may be, for example, absolute coordinates based on latitude and longitude, or relative coordinates in the empty parking lot (for example, coordinates with a representative point such as an entrance or an exit as the origin), and the expression format is not limited.

  In addition, the storage unit 11 stores (or can store) parking information that is a set of presence / absence information of a parked vehicle (moving body) in the parking space. The storage unit 11 stores notification destination information described later, reservation information described later, and other information.

  The reception unit 12 receives reservation information transmitted from the communication terminal 2, receives a request for presence / absence information of a parked vehicle from the communication terminal 2, and receives pre-payment information transmitted from the pre-payment machine 5 or the like. Or Specifically, the reception unit 12 receives various information (reservation information, presence / absence information, etc.) input from other input devices such as a keyboard and a touch panel included in the parking information processing apparatus 1, and is transmitted via a communication line. Various types of information may be received, various types of information read from a recording medium such as a semiconductor memory may be received.

  The reservation information is information related to the reservation of the parking space, and includes a space identifier for identifying the parking space and parking time information related to the parking time in the parking space. The parking time information includes, for example, a scheduled warehousing time indicating a scheduled time of warehousing, and a parking time (including parking available time) indicating the length of the parking time or a scheduled shipping time indicating a scheduled time for leaving (parking available time). And (related to the addition time). The reservation information usually further includes a moving body identifier for identifying a moving body to be parked. The mobile body identifier is, for example, a vehicle number on a license plate, but may be user identification information (such as an address of the communication terminal 2 or a telephone number) for identifying a user who uses the mobile body, and the type is not limited.

  The processing unit 13 includes an acquisition unit 130, a guidance unit 131, and a control unit 132, and performs various types of processing (determination, accumulation, and the like) described later. The processing unit 13 preferably has a character recognition function, and recognizes the number of the license plate of the moving body in the parking space based on the image from the sensor 6.

  The acquisition unit 130 acquires the delivery information based on the prior settlement information related to the fact that the fee settlement has been performed in the prior settlement machine that can perform the fee settlement in advance. The exit information is information indicating that a moving body present in the parking space of the parking lot exits from the parking space after a preset time (addition time). The acquisition unit 130 normally has a pair of a space identifier for identifying a parking space and an addition time. The delivery information may be, for example, information indicating that pre-settlement has been performed, information indicating that the product will be delivered after the addition time, information indicating that the product will be delivered soon, or the time at which delivery is scheduled ( The information may be information having a scheduled delivery time, information on a parking time (elapsed time since warehousing, remaining time until the next charge addition, etc.), or the like, as long as the information is related to a delivery schedule.

  Moreover, the acquisition part 130 may further acquire the presence information of a parked vehicle. The acquisition unit 130 acquires presence / absence information of a parked vehicle based on signals from one or more sensors 6a, 6b,... Arranged corresponding to one or more parking spaces, for example.

  The guiding unit 131 guides the moving-out and warehousing (in / out) of the moving body based on the leaving information. In addition, the guidance part 131 may perform only one guidance among the delivery and the warehousing. Specifically, the guidance unit 131 guides the delivery of the moving object to be delivered from the parking lot or the parking space based on the delivery information acquired by the acquisition unit 130. Departure guidance refers to guidance for moving a moving body manually or automatically. For example, a moving body that is parked in a parking space can be brought into contact with other moving bodies, pedestrians, or walls. While avoiding, guide to the exit of the parking lot. On the other hand, the guiding unit 131 guides entry of a moving object that is about to enter an empty parking lot or an empty parking space where an empty space is available. Guidance of warehousing refers to guidance for moving a moving body manually or automatically, for example, contacting a moving body that exists outside an empty parking lot with other moving bodies, pedestrians, walls, etc. You may guide to the entrance of the empty parking lot, you may guide the moving body that entered the empty parking lot to the empty parking space, You may store in an empty parking space.

  The guide unit 131 usually creates guide information for guiding the exit and entry of the moving body based on the map information, and the transmission unit 15 sends the guide information to the communication terminal 2 mounted on the mobile body. Send. Guidance information for leaving has route information indicating a route from the parking space to the exit, for example. Guidance information for warehousing includes, for example, a parking lot identifier for identifying a parking lot, a parking space identifier for identifying an empty parking space, and route information indicating a route from the current position to the empty parking space through the entrance of the parking lot. And have. The route information is composed of, for example, two or more nodes and one or more edges indicating a connection between the nodes. Nodes correspond to, for example, intersections, corners, entrances, exits, and the like, and edges correspond to roads, passages, and the like. However, the data structure of guidance information does not matter.

  The control unit 132 performs control for sending traveling support information of the moving body in the parking lot to the moving body based on the guidance information from the guiding unit 131. The travel support here relates to travel such as the moving direction (rotation and forward / backward movement) of the moving body, the moving speed (not limited to the speed but may include acceleration that is a temporal change in speed), and the like. Therefore, in the control part 132, the driving assistance information for sending to a moving body is produced based on guidance information. And the transmission part 15 transmits the guidance information to driving | running | working assistance information and a pair to the communication terminal 2 mounted in the moving body.

  The output unit 14 outputs the shipping information acquired by the acquisition unit 130. The output unit 14 may further output the presence / absence information acquired by the acquisition unit 130. Output is a concept including, for example, display on a display, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, delivery of a processing result to another processing device or another program, and the like. The output unit 14 may output the delivery information or the like via an output device such as a display, or transmits it to the communication terminal 2 or a communication terminal (such as an electronic bulletin board) in or around the parking lot. May be.

  The output unit 14 usually transmits the delivery information and the like to the notification destination indicated by the notification destination information stored in advance. The notification destination information is information indicating a notification destination such as shipping information, and is usually an identifier (for example, an address) that identifies the communication terminal 2 that is preset and registered as a transmission destination of the shipping information or the like. In addition, the notification destination is normally stored in the storage unit 11, but may be stored in a storage unit of another device such as a cloud server, and it does not matter where it is stored. Therefore, the notification destination is not limited to the communication terminal 2 set and registered in advance, and is a communication terminal in or near the parking lot, and may be a notification destination indicated by dynamically acquired notification destination information. Dynamic acquisition refers to acquiring notification destination information that varies depending on, for example, a time zone and a day of the week. Alternatively, the notification destination may be a notification destination indicated by notification destination information managed for each parking space. The management for each parking space means storing notification information that varies depending on the parking space.

The transmission unit 15 transmits the guidance information created by the guidance unit 131 and the driving support information created by the control unit 132 to the moving body. The moving body can perform automatic driving in the parking lot based on the guidance information and the driving support information received from the parking information processing apparatus 1. In addition, the information sent from the transmission unit 15 to the moving body can be loaded and unloaded without colliding with other objects (buildings, people, moving bodies, etc.) in the parking lot. Further, by outputting the guidance information received from the parking information processing apparatus 1 by the communication terminal 2 (for example, displaying it on a display or outputting sound from a speaker), the user can easily drive the moving body manually. It is possible to enter and exit at
The communication terminal 2 includes a terminal storage unit 21, a terminal reception unit 22, a terminal processing unit 23, a terminal output unit 24, a terminal reception unit 25, and a terminal transmission unit 26.

  The terminal storage unit 21 stores map information. The map information may be the same information as that stored in the storage unit 11 (information on a map of the whole country, a map of a region, a map in a parking lot, etc.).

  The terminal receiving unit 22 receives information transmitted from the parking information processing apparatus 1, for example, exit information transmitted by the output unit 14, presence / absence information, guidance information transmitted by the transmitting unit 15, driving support information, and the like.

  The terminal processing unit 23 includes a navigation unit 231 and executes various processes (determination processes and the like) described later.

  The navigation unit 231 includes a navigation output unit 2311 and a navigation setting unit 2312. For example, the navigation unit 231 acquires position information based on a signal from a GPS receiver and performs route guidance (navigation) to the destination. However, the position information may be acquired by using the position detection function of the network, and the acquisition method of the position information is not limited. The navigation unit 231 may also search for a route from the current position indicated by the position information to a destination set as described below, for example.

  The navigation output unit 2311 outputs vacant information related to the vacant parking lot or the vacant parking space where the vacant space is available based on the leaving information received by the terminal receiving unit 22 via an output device (display, speaker, etc.). Note that the navigation output unit 2311 may output the exit information received by the terminal reception unit 22 instead of or in addition to the vacancy information.

  In response to the output of the navigation output unit 2311, the navigation setting unit 2312 sets an empty parking lot or an empty parking space as a destination based on, for example, map information stored in the terminal storage unit 21. Setting the destination corresponding to the output usually means setting the destination when the empty information is output. For example, after the empty information is output, the parking space indicated by the empty information is empty. The destination may be set, and the timing of setting the destination does not matter. In response to this, the navigation unit 231 provides guidance to an empty parking lot or an empty parking space. In response to the output of the navigation output unit 2311, the navigation setting unit 2312 first sets an empty parking lot as a destination, and then, in response to the arrival of the moving object at the empty parking lot, A parking space may be set as the destination.

  The terminal output unit 24 outputs the shipping information and presence / absence information received by the terminal receiving unit 22 via an output device.

  For example, the terminal reception unit 25 receives various requests, instructions, reservation information, and the like via an input device such as a touch panel.

  The terminal transmission unit 26 transmits various requests, instructions, reservation information, and various notifications received by the terminal reception unit 25 to the parking information processing apparatus 1.

  By the way, in this Embodiment, the storage part 11 and the terminal storage part 21 are implement | achieved by the non-volatile recording medium or the volatile recording medium, for example. The process in which information, such as a notification destination, is memorize | stored in the storage part 11 grade | etc., Is not ask | required. For example, information may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like via a removable recording medium such as a memory card, and information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the storage unit 11 or the like. Alternatively, information input via the input device may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like. It does not matter whether the receiving unit 12 and the terminal receiving unit 25 include an input device. The receiving unit 12 and the like can be realized by input device driver software, or input device driver software and an input device. The receiving unit 12 may further include a communication module. In addition, the processing unit 13, the acquisition unit 130, the guidance unit 131, the control unit 132, the terminal processing unit 23, the navigation unit 231, the navigation output unit 2311, and the navigation setting unit 2312 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The navigation unit 231 may be realized by an MPU, a memory, and a GPS receiver. The processing procedure of the processing unit 13 and the like is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium. However, the processing unit 13 and the like may be realized by hardware. Further, the output unit 14, the terminal output unit 24, and the navigation output unit 2311 may be considered to include or not include an output device. The output unit 14 and the like can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device. Moreover, although the transmission part 15 and the terminal transmission part 26 are normally implement | achieved by the communication module, you may implement | achieve by the broadcast module which performs a broadcast. The terminal receiving unit 22 is usually realized by a communication module, but may be realized by a broadcast receiving module that receives a broadcast.

Next, operation | movement of a parking system is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. 3, FIG. In the following description, detailed operations of each part and explanations regarding the matters already described may be omitted or simplified.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the parking information processing apparatus 1. Note that the process according to this flowchart starts, for example, when the parking information processing apparatus 1 is powered on, and ends when the power is turned off or another process is interrupted.

  (Step S301) The processing unit 13 determines whether or not the receiving unit 12 has received a request for presence / absence information. If it is determined that the reception unit 12 has received the request for presence / absence information, the process proceeds to step S302.
