  In step S908, when the settlement detection signal is received, the settlement control unit 260 refers to the vehicle management database 210 by the fee calculation unit 262, and the warehousing time of the vehicle management information including the parking ticket ID received by the signal receiving unit 261. To get. Then, the fee calculation unit 262 refers to the fee database 220 and calculates a parking fee corresponding to the warehousing time obtained from the warehousing time and the time when the settlement detection signal is received (step S909).

  Subsequently, the settlement control unit 260 uses the display instruction unit 263 to transmit a display instruction for the calculated parking fee to the settlement machine 40 (step S910).

  Next, the settlement control unit 260 determines whether or not the flag management unit 264 has received a settlement completion notification from the settlement machine 40 (step S911). In step S911, when the payment completion notification is not received, the payment control unit 260 stands by.

  When the payment completion notification is received in step S911, the payment control unit 260 causes the flag management unit 264 to change the value of the payment completion flag of the corresponding vehicle management information stored in the vehicle management database 210 from “0” to “ 1 "(step S912). Here, the settlement control unit 260 may notify the shipping control unit 270 that the value of the settlement completion flag is “1”. In other words, the payment control unit 260 may notify the shipping control unit 270 that the payment has been completed.

  The processing up to this point is the process performed by the settlement control unit 260. Next, the process by the delivery control part 270 is demonstrated.

  Subsequent to step S912, the exit control unit 270 of the parking lot guidance processing unit 240 determines whether or not the illumination ID is associated with the parking ticket ID for which the settlement has been completed by the illumination control unit 273 (step S913). . In other words, the lighting control unit 273 determines whether or not the lighting ID is associated with the parking ticket ID included in the vehicle management information in which the value of the settlement completion flag is “1”.

  In step S913, when the illumination ID is not associated, the exit control unit 270 proceeds to step S916 described later.

  In step S913, when the illumination ID is associated, the illumination control unit 273 transmits an instruction to change the emission color of the light emitter 101 to the illumination device 20 corresponding to the illumination ID (step S914).

  At this time, the illumination control unit 273 of the present embodiment refers to the illumination database 230 so that the emission color of the light emitter 101 of the illumination device 20 is different from the emission color of the light emitters 101 of the other illumination devices 20. You may change it.

  Subsequently, the lighting control unit 273 transmits a message indicating that the light emission color of the lighting device 20 in the vicinity where the vehicle is parked is different from the others and a display instruction to the settlement machine 40 (step S915). ). In response to this display instruction, the checkout machine 40 displays the instructed message on a display or the like.

  Subsequently, the delivery control unit 270 determines whether or not the signal reception unit 271 has received an input of the delivery detection signal from the delivery management device 50 (step S916). In step S916, when the delivery detection signal is not received, the delivery control unit 270 stands by.

  In step S916, when a delivery detection signal is received, the delivery control unit 270 transmits an imaging request including an image number plate of the vehicle to the delivery management device 50 by the vehicle ID acquisition unit 272 (step S917).

  Subsequently, the vehicle ID acquisition unit 272 determines whether or not the vehicle ID has been received (acquired) from the delivery management device 50 (step S918). In step S918, when the vehicle ID is not acquired, the leaving control unit 270 stands by.

  In step S918, when receiving the vehicle ID from the leaving management device 50, the leaving control unit 270 determines whether or not the value of the settlement completion flag corresponding to the received vehicle ID is “1” by the lighting control unit 273. (Step S919). In other words, the exit control unit 270 determines whether the settlement of the vehicle that has received the vehicle ID has been completed.

  In step S919, when the settlement is not completed, the delivery control unit 270 transmits a display instruction to display a notification prompting the deposit to the delivery management device 50 by the instruction transmission unit 274. Then, the delivery control unit 270 receives a notification indicating that the value of the settlement completion flag is “1” (step S920), and proceeds to step S921 described later.

  In step S919, when the payment is completed, the exit control unit 270 causes the illumination control unit 273 to change the emission color of the light emitting body 101 to the normal color before the change with respect to the lighting device 20 that has changed the emission color. An instruction is sent to return (step S921).

  Subsequently, the exit control unit 270 transmits an instruction to the exit management apparatus 50 to open the exit gate by the instruction transmission unit 274 (step S922). Subsequently, the delivery control unit 270 causes the deletion unit 275 to delete the vehicle management information of the delivered vehicle from the vehicle management database 210 (step S923), and ends the process.

  In FIG. 9, the respective processes of the warehousing control unit 250, the payment control unit 260, and the warehousing control unit 270 are described as being executed as one continuous flowchart, but the present invention is not limited to this. The warehousing control unit 250, the settlement control unit 260, and the warehousing control unit 270 may perform processing independently.

  For example, the processes from step S901 to step S907 may be independent processes of the warehousing control unit 250. Further, the processes from step S908 to step S912 may be independent processes of the settlement control unit 260. Further, the process from step S913 to step S923 may be an independent process of the shipping control unit 270.

  Next, the operation of the illumination device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining processing of the lighting apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  In the lighting device 20 of the present embodiment, the notification processing unit 21 determines whether or not the parking ticket ID has been read by the identifier reading unit 22 by the reading device 30 connected to the lighting device 20 (step S1001). In step S1001, when the parking ticket ID is not read, the notification processing unit 21 waits until the parking ticket ID is read.

  When the parking ticket ID is read in step S1001, the identifier transmission unit 23 transmits the read parking ticket ID to the parking lot guidance server 200 in association with the lighting ID of the own device (step S1002).

  Subsequently, the notification processing unit 21 determines whether or not the light emitter control unit 24 has received an instruction to change the color of the light emitter 101 from the parking lot guidance server 200 (step S1003). In step S1003, when the change instruction is not received, the notification processing unit 21 waits until the change instruction is received.

  In step S1003, when a change instruction is accepted, the notification processing unit 21 changes the light color of the light emitter 101 to the instructed color by the light emitter control unit 24 (step S1004).

  Subsequently, the notification processing unit 21 determines whether or not an instruction to end the change has been received by the light emitter control unit 24 (step S1005). In step S1005, when the instruction to end the change is not received, the light emitter control unit 24 waits until the instruction is received.

  When the end of the change is accepted in step S1005, the light emitter control unit 24 returns the color of the light emitter 101 to the color before the change (step S1006) and ends the process.

  Below, with reference to FIG. 5 thru | or FIG. 7, operation | movement of the parking lot guidance system 100 of this embodiment is further demonstrated.

  In the following example, an operation when a vehicle with a vehicle ID “2345” is received will be described. When the vehicle approaches the warehousing gate of the warehousing management device 10, the warehousing management device 10 detects the presence of the vehicle and transmits a warehousing detection signal to the parking lot guidance server 200. Further, the warehousing management apparatus 10 acquires the vehicle ID “2345” from the analysis result of the image of the license plate on which “2345” which is also the vehicle number is engraved, and transmits the vehicle ID “2345” to the parking lot guidance server 200.

  The parking lot guidance server 200 acquires the vehicle ID “2345” from the warehousing management device 10 when receiving the warehousing detection signal from the warehousing management device 10. Then, the parking lot guidance server 200 instructs the warehousing management device 10 to issue a parking ticket. The parking ticket issued from the warehousing management apparatus 10 is managed by the passenger of the vehicle.

  In addition, the warehousing management device 10 transmits the parking ticket ID “010102” of the issued parking ticket to the parking lot guidance server 200.

  When the parking lot guidance server 200 acquires the parking ticket ID, it associates 9: 3: 34, which is the warehousing time when the vehicle detection signal is received, with the vehicle ID “2345” and the parking ticket ID “010102”. And stored in the vehicle management database 210.

  Next, the vehicle is moved to a predetermined position in the parking lot by the passenger (driver) and stopped. Then, the parking ticket is trapped by the passenger on the reading device 30 connected to the lighting device 20 installed in the vicinity of the stop position of the vehicle, and the parking ticket ID is read. The parking ticket ID read here is “010102”.

  When the lighting device 20 acquires the parking ticket ID “010102” from the reading device 30, the lighting device 20 transmits the parking ticket ID “010102” to the parking lot guidance server 200 in association with the lighting ID of the own device. Here, the illumination ID of the illumination device 20 is “1F-003”.

  Upon receiving the parking ticket ID “010102” and the illumination ID “1F-003”, the parking lot guidance server 200 refers to the vehicle management database 210 and stores the vehicle management information including the parking ticket ID “010102”. Or search.

  Here, in the vehicle management database 210, the parking ticket ID “010102” is stored as the vehicle management information 212 associated with the vehicle ID “2345” (see FIG. 5). Therefore, the parking lot guidance processing unit 240 stores the illumination ID “1F-003” in the vehicle management database 210 in association with the parking ticket ID “010102”. By this process, the illumination ID and the parking ticket ID are associated with each other. In other words, by this process, the space where the vehicle ID “2345” is stopped is associated with the lighting device 20 arranged in the vicinity of the space.

Next, an operation when the vehicle with the vehicle ID “2345” leaves the vehicle will be described. in this case,
In the parking lot guidance system 100, the passenger of the vehicle with the vehicle ID “2345” settles the parking fee before leaving the vehicle.

  When the parking ticket is deceived by the settlement machine 40 by the passenger of the vehicle, the settlement machine 40 reads the parking ticket ID and transmits it to the parking lot guidance server 200. When the parking lot guidance server 200 receives the parking ticket ID from the settlement machine 40, the parking lot guidance server 200 refers to the vehicle management database 210 and acquires the entry time of the vehicle management information 212.

  And the parking lot guidance server 200 calculates | requires warehousing time from the warehousing time and the time which read parking ticket ID. For example, when the time when the parking ticket ID is read is 10:50:14, the warehousing time is 1 hour 47 minutes 20 seconds. Therefore, the parking lot guidance server 200 refers to the fee database 220 and sets the parking fee to 1200 yen (see FIG. 6).

  And the parking lot guidance server 200 displays this parking charge 1200 yen on the settlement machine 40. When the payment of 1200 yen is completed, the settlement machine 40 transmits a settlement completion notice to the parking lot guidance server 200. Upon receiving this notification, the parking lot guidance server 200 sets the value of the item “payment completion flag” of the vehicle management information 212 to “1”.

  Then, the parking lot guidance server 200 instructs the lighting device 20 with the lighting ID “1F-003” included in the vehicle management information 212 to change the emission color of the light emitter 101.

  At this time, the parking lot guidance server 200 refers to the illumination database 230. Then, it may be determined whether or not the value of the illumination color flag corresponding to the illumination ID “1F-003” is associated with another illumination ID.

  The vehicle management information 212 of the vehicle management database 210 indicates that blue is indicated as the emission color of the light emitter 101 (see FIG. 5). Therefore, the parking lot guidance server 200 refers to the illumination database 230 and determines whether or not the illumination ID associated with the blue flag value “1” exists other than the illumination ID “1F-003”. Judgment.

  In other words, the parking lot guidance server 200 determines whether or not the illumination devices 20 other than the illumination device 20 with the illumination ID “1F-003” emit light in blue.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the illumination ID associated with the flag value “1” indicating blue is only the illumination ID “1F-003”. Therefore, the parking lot guidance server 200 instructs the illumination device 20 with the illumination ID “1F-003” to change the emission color of the light emitter 101 to blue.

  Here, when there is an illumination ID associated with the flag value “1” indicating blue in the illumination database 230, the parking lot guidance server 200 sets the emission color of the light emitter 101 to a color other than blue. You may change the color. Specifically, the parking lot guidance server 200 may set the emission color of the illumination device 20 with the illumination ID “1F-003” to be different from the emission color of the other illumination devices 20.

  In this way, by making the emission color of the illumination device 20 associated with the parking ticket ID different from the emission color of the other illumination devices 20, the position of the vehicle can be shown to the vehicle occupant.

  In the present embodiment, the lighting mode of the lighting device 20 is changed by changing the emission color of the lighting device 20, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lighting device 20 may be different from the lighting mode of the other lighting devices 20 by changing the lighting pattern. In addition, the lighting device 20 may be different from the lighting mode of the other lighting devices 20 by changing the brightness (luminance) of light emission, for example.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the parking lot is divided into a plurality of areas, the illumination database 230 may be provided for each area. In the present embodiment, if the light emitting color of the lighting device 20 associated with the parking ticket ID is controlled so that there is no lighting device 20 having the same light emitting color within a range that can be seen by the vehicle passenger, the passenger Can recognize the stop position of the vehicle.

  When the exit management device 50 detects that the vehicle has approached the exit gate in order to exit, the exit management device 50 transmits an exit detection signal to the parking lot guidance server 200. The delivery management device 50 acquires the vehicle ID “2345” of the vehicle to be delivered and transmits it to the parking lot guidance server 200.

  When the parking lot guidance server 200 receives the vehicle ID “2345” from the delivery management device 50, the parking lot guidance server 200 returns the light emission color of the lighting device 20 with the lighting ID “1F-003” included in the vehicle management information 212 before the change. Instruct. This instruction is given because it is clear that the vehicle occupant has boarded the stopped vehicle and moved the vehicle to the exit gate. In other words, this instruction is given because the vehicle passenger is notified of the stop position of the vehicle and the guidance to the vehicle is completed.

  Then, the parking lot guidance server 200 deletes the vehicle management information 212 from the vehicle management database 210. As a result of this deletion process, the parking lot guidance system 100 deletes the association between the illumination ID “1F-003” and the parking ticket ID, and again handles the space indicated by the illumination ID “1F-003” as an empty space. It becomes possible.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to assist the user of the parking lot to easily recognize the parking position of each vehicle. In the near future, the driver is provided at a predetermined position in the parking lot. It is also conceivable that the vehicle gets off from the vehicle and stops from that position in a vacant space by automatic driving. In this embodiment, even when such a technique is widespread, if the parking ticket ID and the illumination ID can be associated with each other, the stop position can be notified to the driver.

  In the present embodiment, the parking ticket ID is associated with the illumination ID, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a vehicle ID may be associated with the illumination ID. In the present embodiment, the illumination ID is an identifier for identifying a space where the vehicle is stopped, and may be associated with the illumination ID and some identifier that can uniquely identify the vehicle.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the place where a vehicle stops is used as a parking lot, the vehicle stopped at a parking lot is not limited to a motor vehicle. In the present embodiment, a motorcycle or the like may be used as long as the vehicle is assigned a number.

  The response receiving unit 26 receives the terminal ID of the terminal device 300 as a response to the beacon signal from the terminal device 300 that has received the beacon signal. In the present embodiment, the terminal device 300 has a call function such as a mobile phone or a smartphone, and transmits the telephone number of the own device to the lighting device 20A as a response to the beacon signal. .

  Note that the response signal that the terminal device 300 transmits to the lighting device 20A as a response to the beacon signal is not limited to a telephone number. The response signal transmitted by the terminal device 300 may be any signal as long as the signal indicates information that can be an identifier for identifying the terminal device 300.

  As a response to the beacon signal, the terminal identifier transmission unit 27 transmits the terminal ID received from the terminal device 300 to the parking lot guidance server 200 in association with the illumination ID that identifies the own device.

  The terminal device 300 according to the present embodiment includes an illumination communication unit 310. For example, the illumination communication unit 310 transmits the terminal ID to the illumination device 20A as a response to the beacon signal transmitted from the illumination device 20A. Moreover, the illumination communication part 310 of this embodiment transmits terminal ID with respect to the warehousing management apparatus 10, the checkout machine 40, and the leaving management apparatus 50 other than the illuminating device 20A, for example.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the parking lot guidance system 100A does not include the terminal device 300, but is not limited thereto. The parking lot guidance system 100A may include the terminal device 300.

  Below, with reference to FIG. 12, the vehicle management database 210A of this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a vehicle management database according to the second embodiment.

However, for example, the terminal device 300 may be a terminal device of a person who has settled a parking fee that appeared in another vehicle.

  Next, operations of the parking lot guidance server 200A and the lighting device 20A of the parking lot guidance system 100A of the present embodiment will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 13, operation | movement of the parking lot guidance server 200A of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining processing of the parking lot guidance server according to the second embodiment.

  The processing from step S1301 to step S1303 in FIG. 13 is the same as the processing from step S901 to step S903 in FIG.

  In step S1303, when the vehicle ID is acquired, the warehousing control unit 250A determines whether the identifier acquisition unit 254A has acquired (received) the terminal ID from the warehousing management device 10 (step S1304). Specifically, the identifier acquisition unit 254A determines whether or not the terminal device 300 has been deceived by the terminal ID reader 30 in the warehousing management device 10.

  In step S1304, when the terminal ID is not received, the warehousing control unit 250A stands by until the terminal ID is received.

  In step S1304, when receiving the terminal ID, the warehousing control unit 250A associates the terminal ID and the vehicle ID with the association unit 255A and stores them in the vehicle management database 210A (step S1305).

  Subsequently, the warehousing control unit 250A determines whether the terminal ID and the lighting ID are received from the lighting device 20A by the identifier acquisition unit 254A (step S1306). Specifically, the warehousing control unit 250A determines whether or not the lighting device 20A has received a response to the beacon signal transmitted from the lighting device 20A from the terminal device 300.

  If the terminal ID and the lighting ID are not received in step S1306, the warehousing control unit 250A waits until the terminal ID and the lighting ID are received.

  In step S1306, when receiving the terminal ID and the lighting ID, the warehousing control unit 250A uses the association unit 255A to match the received terminal ID among the terminal IDs stored in the vehicle management database 210A. And the illumination ID are stored in association with each other (step S1307).

  The processing up to this point is the processing by the warehousing control unit 250A. Next, processing by the settlement control unit 260A will be described.

Note that the transmission of the beacon signal may be performed, for example, until the lighting device 20A is turned on and then turned off.

  Subsequently, the notification processing unit 21A determines whether a response to the beacon signal has been received by the response receiving unit 26 (step S1402). In other words, the notification processing unit 21 </ b> A determines whether or not the response receiving unit 26 has received the terminal ID from the terminal device 300.

  In step S1402, if a response has not been received, the notification processing unit 21A waits until a response is received.

  In step S1402, when a response is received, the terminal identifier transmission unit 27 associates the terminal ID received as a response with the lighting ID of the own device and transmits it to the parking lot guidance server 200A (step S1403).

  The processing from step S1404 to step S1407 is the same as the processing from step S1003 to step S1006 in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by associating the terminal ID of the terminal device 300 of the passenger of the vehicle with the illumination ID as an identifier that uniquely identifies the vehicle, the space associated with the illumination ID and the vehicle Is associated.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, for example, the trouble of storing the parking ticket can be saved while the vehicle is stopped at the parking lot.
