Description

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and a computer program for searching for a parking lot from a portable terminal or a personal computer so that the parking lot can be reserved.

With the development of information communication technology, it is now possible to search for parking lots or make reservations directly after a search operation.
In addition, it is often possible to cancel the reserved parking lot at the same time as the reservation is possible.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a parking lane reservation service system in which a user of a parking lot can easily search for a paid parking lot even in a place where the user is not accustomed and can park in a desired time zone. . Further, in this patent document 1, when the parking time is full, the user member is inquired about whether to wait for cancellation, and the parking lane cancellation wait is reserved and registered for the application for waiting for cancellation from the user member. In addition, a technique for reporting the cancellation waiting order of a reserved parking lane to a user member is also disclosed.

Patent Document 2 discloses a parking lot reservation apparatus that takes into account that the parking time scheduled by the user and the parking time when the user actually parks may deviate. Predicting the tendency of actual parking time that the user actually parks from the reserved parking time reserved by this user, and determining whether or not reservation acceptance is possible based on the exact number of reservations based on this actual parking time trend, It is a technology.

JP 2003-36499 A JP 2006-215609 A

When a plurality of reservable parking lots are full in a place and time zone desired by a parking lot user, there is a case where it is desired to wait for cancellation immediately before the desired time zone.
When a parking lot user wants to secure a parking lot in advance, the parking lot user must register for waiting for cancellation one by one for a plurality of parking lots.

In addition, even if registration for waiting for cancellation is completed, there are many service systems that only give notification that cancellation has been issued. In that case, after receiving the notice, you must make a new reservation procedure.
If time passes after the notification is received, the canceled vehicle room is reserved by another user. The current registration system for waiting for cancellation has room for improvement.
However, as an operator of the service system, it is expected that the user is operating the current system in consideration that the user may be waiting for cancellation even in another parking lot. This is because if a reservation is made with a registration waiting for cancellation and the reservation is made immediately, the reservation may be canceled.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a technology capable of completing a reservation for waiting for cancellation and a cancellation when a plurality of parking lots are completed.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the inventor of the present application provides a parking compartment reservation terminal and a computer program for controlling the terminal, a parking compartment reservation server for a parking compartment, and a computer program for controlling the server.

(First invention)
The first invention is a search condition transmitting means for receiving input by a user of search data such as a location and a time zone in order to search for a parking vehicle room and transmitting it to a parking lot management server that manages the reservation of the parking vehicle room,
Search result output means for receiving and outputting a search result based on the search data from the parking lot server,
A map range designation means for designating a cancellation place range that is a range of places waiting for cancellation on the map using the search result output by the search result output means;
Wait condition input means for accepting input from the user of the cancel wait condition data;
Registration data transmission means for transmitting the waiting-for-cancellation registration data including the waiting-for-cancellation condition data and the canceling place range to the parking lot server,
A result receiving means for receiving a result of reserving a parking compartment related to the cancellation when a cancellation that matches the conditions of the cancellation waiting registration data occurs;
(Refer to FIG. 1).

(Glossary)
The “parking vehicle room reservation terminal” includes a communication terminal related to the user, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet PC, and an in-vehicle terminal. It is desirable to install an application for communication with the parking lot management server.
The “in-vehicle terminal” is a terminal that is mounted on an automobile and capable of data communication via a public telephone line or the like so that bidirectional communication between a parking lot management server and a driver is possible. For example, a multi-function car navigation device. The in-vehicle terminal is desirably a touch panel that serves both as an output screen and an input device.
The “parking lot” is composed of one or a plurality of “car cabins”. The “car compartment” is a unit for the user to make a reservation or wait for cancellation. On the other hand, the “map range designation means” designates the “parking lot” rather than the “cabinet” in most cases.

The “search data” includes a place where the user wants to find a parking lot, a place name, an address place, a building name that becomes a landmark, and the like. Further, when the user of the parking cab reservation terminal is a driver (the terminal is often a multi-function car navigation system), the following is performed in order to reduce the input operation by the driver.
That is, when the area where the parking lot search is desired is in the vicinity of the “predetermined destination”, the “destination” may be automatically input or semi-automatically input. For example, if the “vehicle terminal” is a multi-function car navigation device and the driver is driving after inputting the “destination” into the car navigation device in advance, the “destination” and “current position” May be presented to the driver, and if one of them is selected and designated, software processing may be executed so that the input of the destination is completed.

The “map range designation means” means that a user can easily select a parking lot for which a user wishes to wait for cancellation by using an output screen on which a parking lot (or a parking compartment) is displayed together with a map. It is a means for specifying the parking lot in a lump. More specifically, there are the following patterns.
First, display a range designation frame that surrounds the east, west, north, and south on the map on the output screen, and zoom in / out the map so that the desired parking lot enters the range designation frame, move the map, This is means for adjusting the size of the designated frame by the user (see FIG. 2).
Second, a user-designated radius range designation frame centered on the landmark designated by the user is displayed on the map on the output screen, and the map is enlarged so that the desired parking lot enters inside the range designation frame This is means that allows the user to perform operations such as reducing / reducing, moving the map, and adjusting the size of the range designation frame (see FIG. 6).
Third, it is a means that allows an icon indicating a parking lot output on the map on the screen to be designated by a user operation such as tapping (clicking) (see FIG. 7).

  “Waiting condition input means” includes a case in which search data transmitted by the search condition transmission means is automatically input and a confirmation display is input to the user.

(Function)
In order to search for a parking compartment, search data such as a place and a time zone is input by a search condition transmission means and transmitted to a parking lot server. The search result output means receives the search result based on the search data from the parking lot server and outputs it.
Using the search result output by the search result output means, the map area designation means designates the cancel location range (the user associated with the parking vehicle room reservation terminal), which is the range of places waiting for cancellation on the map. In addition, cancel waiting condition data other than the place is input by the waiting condition transmitting means. And the registration data transmission means transmits the cancellation waiting registration data including the cancellation waiting condition data and the cancellation place range to the parking lot server.
When a cancellation that matches the conditions of the cancellation waiting registration data occurs, the result receiving means receives a result indicating that the parking compartment related to the cancellation has been reserved.

By using the map range specifying means, registration of waiting for cancellation for a plurality of parking compartments can be completed with a small number of operations.
In addition, since the reservation is completed when the designated parking space is canceled by the registration data transmission means, the reservation is completed and other cancellations are canceled even though multiple reservations are registered It is possible to complete the reservation of the parking room without having to.

(Second invention)
The second invention also relates to a parking compartment reservation terminal.
That is, a search condition transmitting means for receiving input by a user of search data such as a location and a time zone in order to search for a parking room and transmitting to a parking lot management server that manages reservation of the parking room,
Search result output means for receiving and outputting a search result based on the search data from the parking lot server,
Map range transmission means for designating a cancellation place range that is a range of places waiting for cancellation on the map using the search result output by the search result output means, and transmitting to the parking lot management server;
Wait condition transmission means for accepting input by the user of the cancellation wait condition data and transmitting it to the parking management server,
A result receiving means for receiving a result of reserving a parking compartment related to the cancellation when a cancellation that matches the cancellation waiting registration data and the conditions of the cancellation place range occurs;
It is a parking room reservation terminal equipped with.

  The second invention differs from the first invention in that the registration data transmitting means provided in the first invention is not provided in the second invention, and the map range transmitting means and the waiting condition transmitting means are directly parked. It is a point which transmits data to a parking lot management server.

(Third invention)
3rd invention concerns on the parking lot management server which receives the waiting for cancellation of a parking compartment from the parking compartment reservation terminal which concerns on 1st invention.
That is, a parking lot database that accumulates management data such as a parking lot reservation status,
The above-mentioned parking vehicle room reservation terminal uses the cancel waiting condition data relating to the waiting for cancellation in the time zone already reserved for the vehicle room managed by the parking lot database and the canceling place range as the range of the waiting place for the canceling as the waiting registration information Registration data receiving means for receiving from,
A cancellation waiting ID giving means for giving a cancellation waiting ID to the cancellation waiting registration data;

“Cancel wait ID” is necessary for specifying that the cancel wait registered in the corresponding table is due to the same cancel wait request as the cancel wait of each parking compartment. (See FIG. 4).

  Ideally, the “matching means” performs a matching operation every time data stored in the parking lot database is updated. However, in practice, the “matching means” is not operated every time data is updated. The frequency depends on the number of data stored in the parking lot database (the number of parking compartments), for example, once a day or several times a day each time a cancellation occurs.

(Function)
The parking lot database stores management data such as the parking lot reservation status of the parking lot. The registration data receiving means uses the cancellation waiting condition data relating to the waiting for cancellation in the reserved time zone and the cancellation location range corresponding to the location waiting for cancellation as cancellation waiting registration data for the cabin managed by the parking lot database. Received from the parking room reservation terminal. A cancellation wait ID assigning unit assigns a cancellation wait ID to the cancellation wait registration data. And the cancellation waiting database accumulate | stores the cancellation waiting registration data to which the cancellation waiting ID was provided.
Using the cancellation waiting database and the parking lot database, the matching means determines whether or not a reservation that matches the cancellation waiting registration data is possible. In other words, when the parking database is updated and the cancellation waiting registration data managed by the cancellation waiting ID is canceled, the cancellation target matches with the cancellation waiting registration data. Means.
The result transmitting means transmits the judgment result of the matching means to the parking vehicle room reservation terminal.

  According to the parking lot management server of the present application, it is possible to receive necessary data all at once for waiting for cancellation of the parking space and completion of reservation when the cancellation occurs, and to notify the completion of reservation when cancellation occurs.

The form (parking vehicle room reservation terminal and parking lot management server) which implements this invention is demonstrated using FIGS. 1-12. The operation and software in the parking cab reservation terminal and the parking lot management server including the operation by the user will also be described.
In the figure, solid arrows indicate serial communication, and double dotted arrows indicate wireless communication.

(Figure 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing configurations (functions) of a parking compartment reservation terminal and a parking lot management server according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The parking room reservation terminal is a smartphone related to a parking lot user (hereinafter simply referred to as “user”) who wants to make a reservation (collective reservation waiting for cancellation) of the parking room, and in advance to the smartphone A dedicated application has been downloaded. However, a dedicated application is not necessarily required.
An upgraded version that adds a function that allows you to make a reservation if a cancellation occurs when the reservation is full on a terminal that has already downloaded an application that searches the parking room and makes a reservation from the search result Download as.
As the parking lot management server, various databases described later are incorporated or accessible, and a dedicated application is installed.

The user needs to register in advance a payment method for paying the service provided by the operator to the operator of the parking lot management server as a premise for using the service. This is information such as credit card information relating to the user, bank withdrawal account, etc., in the payment method registration means.
About such information, user ID is provided and it stores in the user database in a parking lot management server.

(Function of parking room reservation terminal)
The parking vehicle room reservation terminal receives input by a user of search data such as a location and a time zone in order to search for a parking vehicle room, and transmits to a parking management server that manages the reservation of the parking vehicle room, Search result output means for receiving and outputting a search result based on the search data from the parking lot server.
A search result will be displayed on the output screen (search result output means) of a parking room reservation terminal with the map of the area specified by search data (refer FIG. 2).

Now, suppose that the search result is a situation where the reservation is full and cannot be taken in the region and time zone desired by the user. On the output screen, several parking lots are displayed, and it is displayed that all the passenger compartments are filled with reservations during the time zone desired by the user.
In addition, the parking room reservation terminal uses a search result output from the output screen (search result output means), a map range specifying means for specifying a cancellation place range that is a range of places waiting for cancellation on the map, and A waiting condition transmitting means for transmitting the waiting waiting condition data; and a registration data transmitting means for transmitting the waiting waiting registration data including the waiting waiting condition data and the cancel location range to the parking lot server.
The map range designation means will be described later with reference to FIG.

Furthermore, when a cancellation that matches the conditions of the cancellation waiting registration data transmitted by the registration data transmitting means occurs, a result receiving means for receiving a result indicating that the parking compartment related to the cancellation has been reserved is provided.
As a result, if the corresponding cancel does not occur even after the time of “Waiting for” included in the cancellation wait condition data, the receiving means “If the wait time has expired, reservation due to the occurrence of cancellation could not be made. "" Is displayed (see FIG. 10), or a push notification or e-mail may be contacted.

(Parking lot management server function)
On the other hand, the parking lot management server includes the above-described user database, and has already reserved a parking lot database for storing management data such as a parking lot reservation status and a vehicle room managed by the parking lot database. Registration data receiving means for receiving, from the parking room reservation terminal, cancellation waiting condition data relating to waiting for cancellation in a time zone and a cancellation place range as a waiting waiting place range as cancellation waiting registration data.
The parking lot database may not be physically built in the parking lot management server. The same applies to the user database (in FIG. 1, it is explained that both are physically built in the parking management server).

Further, the parking lot management server includes a cancellation waiting ID granting unit that assigns a cancellation waiting ID to the cancellation waiting registration data, a cancellation waiting database that accumulates the cancellation waiting registration data to which the cancellation waiting ID is assigned, Matching means for determining whether or not a reservation that matches the waiting-for-cancellation registration data is possible using the waiting-for-cancellation database and the parking lot database, and the determination result of the matching means is used for the parking vehicle room reservation terminal. And a result transmitting means for transmitting to.
The “cancellation ID” and “matching means” will be described later with reference to FIG.

The registration data receiving means receives the registration data, and the registration data includes the map range specified by the map range specifying means. If the map range designation means is as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 6, this map range cannot be used for waiting for cancellation or matching as it is. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the specified map range. The means for performing the conversion function is “map range conversion means”.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, this map range conversion means is illustrated as being provided on the parking lot management server side. However, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, it can be provided in the parking compartment reservation terminal.

(Figure 2)
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the function of the map range specifying means described above.
As a result of the search for the parking compartment desired by the user, it is assumed that the reservation is full and cannot be taken in the area and time zone desired by the user.
If the user is planning to make a “cancellation reservation for waiting for cancellation” and downloads corresponding application software to his / her terminal in advance, the output screen will display several parking lots along with a map. Although it is displayed, a range specification frame appears on the map.

The user confirms that at least one icon indicating a parking lot is displayed in the range designation frame, and the user taps the “Register range” button.
The “range designation frame” shown in FIG. 2 does not move. The user designates a parking lot having a parking compartment where the user desires “cancel reservation in a lump” by enlarging or reducing the map or moving the map up / down / left / right by operating the output screen by the user.

  Note that the “range designation frame” illustrated in FIG. 2 may not be displayed, and the range of the map output on the output screen of the terminal may be designated as a “designation range”.

The range designated by the above range designation means is converted from the position of the frame line to latitude and longitude by the “map range conversion means” (FIG. 1) in the parking lot management server. The registration of waiting for the cancellation of the passenger compartment in the parking lot within the latitude and longitude is stored in the cancellation waiting database.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, a map range conversion means is good also as providing in a parking vehicle room reservation terminal (it makes an application software provide the function).
Further, there is another way of specifying the range specifying means, which will be described later with reference to FIGS.

(Figure 3)
FIG. 3 shows an example of a screen on which the user confirms the contents of the batch reservation waiting for cancellation.
Enter the cancellation wait conditions (use date and time, maximum charge, how long to wait) and vehicle information (vehicle type and number) on a separate screen.
If there is data input when searching for a desired parking compartment, it is automatically input first, and the contents of the automatic input can be changed and deleted.
When the input of all required items is completed, the user taps the “Register with this content” button.

(Fig. 4)
FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a case where the reservation of the parking compartment is successful based on the waiting condition for cancellation and the vehicle information.
For the parking management server, it is assumed that the terminal A reserves the passenger compartment L, the terminal B reserves the passenger compartment M, and the terminal C reserves the passenger compartment P at a predetermined date and time.

On the other hand, terminal D searches for L, M, P, etc. at a predetermined date and time at a later timing than terminals A, B, and C, receives a notification that another reservation has already been made, and waits for cancellation. Suppose you have registered.
Similarly, terminal E searches for L, M, P, etc. at a predetermined date and time, and has received a notification that another reservation has already been made. Suppose that it was later than the timing.
The parking management server assigns “12345” as the cancellation wait ID to the cancellation waiting registration from the terminal D, and assigns “12346” as the cancellation waiting ID to the cancellation waiting registration from the terminal E. And register them in the database waiting for cancellation.

Then, it is assumed that a reservation cancellation message is received from terminal C.
In the parking lot database, the fact that the passenger compartments L, M, and P are reserved at a predetermined date and time has been registered, but the passenger compartment P is renewed in response to a reservation cancellation from the terminal C.
Thereafter, the matching unit collates the cancellation waiting database with the parking lot database, and finds a matching with the cancellation waiting ID “12345”. Then, the result transmission unit transmits the cancellation waiting reservation completion to the terminal corresponding to the cancellation waiting whose cancellation waiting ID is “12345”.

(Fig. 5)
FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen that is transmitted and output to the terminal screen when the reservation of the passenger compartment is completed as a result of the registration for waiting for cancellation.
A parking lot with a vehicle room related to the reservation is displayed together with a map, and a pop-up display shows the date and time of the reservation and the location of the parking lot.
In this figure, a message for the user of the terminal D is displayed as a pop-up. The user of the terminal D manages this in the parking lot management server by tapping the “Confirm” button at the bottom of the screen.
Note that this notification may be selected by the user such as push notification, e-mail reception, SNS, and the like.

  Although illustration is omitted, the completion of the reservation of the passenger compartment due to waiting for the cancellation updates the parking lot database and deletes the contents of the cancellation waiting registration whose cancellation waiting ID is “12345” from the cancellation waiting database. .

Cancellation waiting ID = “12346” is subject to matching by the matching means until registration of “Will wait”.
If the corresponding cancellation wait does not occur even after the registration time of “Waiting for”, the reservation failure shown in FIG. 10 is transmitted to the terminal E.

(Fig. 6)
FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing variations of the map range specifying means.
The map range designation means shown here designates a plurality or a single parking lot by designating a radius distance around a predetermined landmark or position information identified by latitude and longitude.
For example, after searching for a destination on the map where the user of the terminal should ask, omit data input of the destination and specify a plurality or a single parking lot together with the input of a number such as “within radius ZZ meter” . In the figure, “XX bookstore” is shown as the destination.
By inputting the distance from the destination, there is an advantage that the schedule such as how many minutes it takes to walk to the destination can be intuitively understood.

(Fig. 7)
FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a variation of the map range designation means for displaying on the map a parking lot where there is a parking compartment to wait for cancellation so that the user can perform a tap operation.
That is, on the output screen of the terminal, a plurality of parking lots are displayed on the map, and an instruction sentence “tap a parking lot to wait for cancellation” is displayed.
The user taps the parking lot where the desired parking compartment is present, and simply executes registration for waiting for cancellation.
Although this method is not “collective designation”, the number of user operations increases, but there is an advantage that “map range conversion means” becomes unnecessary.

(Fig. 8)
FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which the map range conversion means is provided in the parking compartment reservation terminal, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in which the map range conversion means is provided on the parking lot management server side. It is a block diagram.
Except for the differences described above, the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, and other descriptions are omitted.

(Fig. 9)
FIG. 9 simply shows an embodiment in which a parking lot management server performs reservations for waiting for cancellation, matching, reservations in the case of waiting for cancellation using a plurality of parking lot databases (α, β), and the like. It is a conceptual diagram.
There are a plurality of parking lot databases managing parking lot reservations, and these parking lot databases exist outside the parking lot management server, and access them to execute reservations waiting for cancellation.

The reservation terminal shown in FIG. 9 may also be accessing a parking lot database γ that does not correspond to the cancellation waiting batch reservation, in addition to the parking lot management server capable of realizing the waiting reservation cancellation batch reservation according to the present invention. .
If a vehicle compartment is secured in the parking lot database γ before the deadline for waiting for cancellation, a notification for canceling the waiting for cancellation should be sent to the parking lot management server. The cancellation waiting batch reservation application software installed in the reservation terminal also has a function of canceling the cancellation waiting batch reservation itself (not shown).

(Fig. 10)
FIG. 10 is an example of a screen that outputs a notification that the cancel reservation could not be made.
Instead of transmitting such a map screen, only text data may be transmitted by e-mail. In addition, the user may be able to select a notification of waiting time expiration from an application, an SNS, or the like.

(Fig. 11)
FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration according to the third embodiment.
The difference from the first embodiment is that the registration data transmission means provided in the first embodiment is not provided, and the map range transmission means and the waiting condition transmission means directly transmit data to the parking lot management server. It is a point to do.
Since other points are the same as those of the first embodiment, other description is omitted.

(Fig. 12)
FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing a configuration according to the fourth embodiment.
Similar to the second embodiment, a map range conversion means is provided in the parking compartment reservation terminal. Further, as in the third embodiment, the map range transmission unit and the waiting condition transmission unit directly transmit data to the parking lot management server.

According to the first to fourth embodiments described above, it is possible to provide a technology capable of completing a reservation for waiting for cancellation and a cancellation when a plurality of parking lots are completed at once. I was able to.
It should be noted that the concept of “specifying reservations by collectively specifying areas to wait for cancellation”, which forms the basis of the present invention, can also be applied to such cases as searching for accommodations in business hotels.

  The present invention relates to a parking lot management and operation service industry, a software development industry that provides server software used in the parking lot management and administration service industry, a software development industry that provides software used for information terminals, and information provision to vehicles It has the possibility of being used in the service industry.
