It includes a unit 26, a discount information storage unit 27, a charge information creation unit 28, and the like.

The communication unit 20 communicates with external devices. For example, the communication unit 20 exchanges information with various devices installed in the parking lot, the user terminal 50, the information terminal 60, and the like. Examples of various devices installed in the parking lot include a parking control unit that controls a mechanical parking lot, a ticket issuing machine 32, a pre-payment machine 35, and a payment machine 34 (see FIG. 7).

When the warehousing reception unit 21 receives the warehousing information including the information of the warehousing vehicle and the warehousing time via the communication unit 20, the warehousing/leaving management information stored in the warehousing/leaving management information storage unit 22 based on the warehousing information. to update. The information of the entering vehicle is information that can identify the entering vehicle, and examples thereof include a vehicle ID, a parking ticket number, a user ID registered in advance by the user, and the like.

The vehicle ID is, for example, the license plate of the vehicle, the ID of the vehicle-mounted device mounted on the vehicle, and the like, and is information associated with the vehicle. For example, the vehicle ID may be obtained by photographing the license plate of the vehicle with a camera and analyzing the image when the vehicle is parked. The vehicle-mounted device ID may be acquired by communicating with the vehicle-mounted device mounted on the vehicle when the vehicle enters the warehouse. The parking ticket number may be received from the ticket issuing machine 32 (see FIG. 7) when the parking ticket is issued. The user ID is applied, for example, to a parking lot that does not issue a parking ticket. The user ID may be obtained by reading it with an IC card reader, a two-dimensional bar code reader, or the like.
In this embodiment, a case in which the parking ticket number is used as the information of the parked vehicle will be described as an example.

When the leaving information including the information of the leaving vehicle and the leaving time is received via the communication unit 20, the leaving reception unit 23 stores the entering/leaving management information stored in the entering/leaving management information storage unit 22 based on the leaving information. to update.

The entry/exit management information storage unit 22 stores entry/exit management information. FIG. 4 shows an example of storage management information. As shown in FIG. 4, the parking ticket number is associated with the parking ticket number, and the entry time is registered in the parking entry/exit management information. In addition, the entry/exit management information may be associated with the parking ticket number and registered with the settlement time, the exit time, the charging time, the parking fee, and the like. In addition, the entry/exit management information may further include discount ticket information corresponding to the purchase price at a facility affiliated with the parking lot (for example, a commercial facility) and discount rate information corresponding to the time of leaving the parking lot.

The past delivery performance information is stored in the delivery performance information storage unit 24 . For example, in the delivery record information storage unit 24, among the entering/leaving management information shown in FIG. Further, the delivery record information may include the day of the week, information on weekdays/holidays/holidays, information on events held around the parking lot, weather information (weather, temperature, humidity, etc.) and the like.

The estimating unit 25 estimates a delivery peak time when delivery is concentrated. For example, the estimating unit 25 estimates the peak delivery time using at least one of past delivery performance information, event information on the current day, weather information on the current day, day of the week information on the current day, and public holiday information on the current day.

For example, the estimating unit 25 may estimate the delivery peak time when deliveries are concentrated based on the past delivery performance information stored in the delivery performance information storage unit 24 . Specifically, the estimating unit 25 may estimate the peak delivery time from past delivery record information using a known statistical technique. It should be noted that not only one but also a plurality of peak delivery times can be estimated. The estimation unit 25 may also estimate the peak leaving time using machine learning.

In addition, the estimation unit 25 identifies past delivery record information with a degree of similarity equal to or greater than a predetermined value from at least one piece of information such as the weather on the day, the presence or absence of an event, the day of the week, information on weekdays/holidays/holidays, etc. A delivery peak time may be estimated using the specified delivery record information. It should be noted that the estimation of the delivery peak time by the estimation unit 25 may be performed using techniques such as known statistical processing and machine learning, and the method is not particularly limited.

The delivery peak time can be specified, for example, as a time period in which the number of delivered vehicles is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The predetermined value may be an index value that is relatively set in consideration of the number of vehicles leaving the garage in other time periods, or may be set as an absolute value.

It should be noted that the estimation of the delivery peak time by the estimation unit 25 is not limited to the method described above. For example, instead of using past delivery performance information, it is possible to estimate delivery peak hours when delivery is concentrated based on event information or weather forecast for the day. For example, if an event is scheduled between 14:00 and 16:00, there is a possibility that the number of deliveries will concentrate after the event ends. In this case, for example, one hour from 16:30 to 17:30 may be estimated as the delivery peak time.

Based on the estimation result of the estimation unit 25, the discount information creation unit 26 creates discount information in which the time period and the discount rate are associated. At this time, the discount information creating unit 26 sets the discount rate for the other than the peak delivery time to be higher than the discount rate for the peak delivery time. The discount information creating unit 26 sets, for example, the discount rate before and after the peak delivery time to be higher than the discount rate for the peak delivery time.

FIG. 5 shows an example of discount information. In the discount information shown in FIG. 5, the discount rate is set in increments of 30 minutes. In the discount information shown in FIG. 5, the discount rate is set to 0% for the time zone estimated to be the delivery peak time, and the discount rate before and after the delivery peak time is the discount rate for the delivery peak time (that is, 0% ) is set higher than
In this way, by making the discount rate for the non-peak delivery time higher than the discount rate for the peak delivery time, it is possible to give the user an incentive to avoid the peak delivery time. As a result, it is possible to disperse the delivery time and alleviate the concentration of delivery. In addition, by distributing the delivery time, it is possible to shorten the time required for delivery (waiting time for delivery and time to exit the road), and contribute to alleviating congestion and congestion on surrounding roads. In addition, it is possible to reduce the number of guide staff and other personnel who deal with congestion, and to reduce the response time.

Alternatively, the discount information creating unit 26 may set the discount rate for late time slots to be higher than the discount rate for early time slots. This reduces users' resistance to parking for long periods of time, gives them a sense of security when staying in commercial facilities for long periods of time, and promotes consumer behavior. can be expected. As a result, it is possible to increase the economic effect in the commercial facility and contribute to the profit of the commercial facility.
In addition, in this embodiment, although a discount rate is used, it is not limited to this example. For example, a discount amount may be used instead of the discount rate.

The discount information created by the discount information creation section 26 is stored in the discount information storage section 27 .
Also, the discount information creation unit 26 transmits the discount information to the user terminal 50 and the information terminal 60 via the communication unit 20 at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing includes the timing when the discount information is created, a preset time, or the timing when the discount information viewing request is received from the user terminal 50 or the like via the communication unit 20 .

When receiving the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request via the communication unit 20, the charge information creation unit 28 determines the parking ticket number corresponding to the parking ticket number from the parking entry/exit management information stored in the entry/exit management information storage unit 22. Get the time. Then, using the acquired parking time and the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27, the charge information creation unit 28 creates individual charge information in which the parking charge is associated with the leaving time zone. Then, the personal charge information obtained is transmitted to the sender of the charge disclosure request via the communication unit 20 . As a result, on the display screen of the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 that has received the personal charge information, the personal charge information in which the time slot and the parking charge are associated is displayed.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of individual charge information. As shown in FIG. 6, in the individual fee information, the time period and the parking fee reflecting the discount rate are displayed in association with each other. In addition, if a parking fee discount service is provided according to the purchase amount of the user, the purchase amount linked to the parking ticket number will be obtained from the facility's POS system, and the discount will be given according to the purchase amount. Amount may be displayed. The individual charge information illustrated in FIG. 6 indicates a case where a discount for two hours of parking is applied depending on the purchase price. In this case, it is possible to promote purchasing behavior by displaying how much more the parking fee will be discounted by purchasing more.
Further, the individual fee information may include the parking fee before the discount is applied and the parking fee after the discount is applied.

By providing the individual fee information to the user terminal 50 or the like, the user can check the parking fee and consider the time to leave the parking lot. In addition, at this time, the parking fee before the discount is applied and the parking fee after the discount is applied are displayed so as to be comparable, thereby making it possible to give the user a sense of value.

Next, various processes executed by the parking fee management device 10 according to this embodiment will be described. In the following description, for convenience of description, a case where the present invention is applied to a flat parking lot 30 as shown in FIG. 7 will be exemplified and described.

Stored in the information storage unit 27 .

[Storage receipt processing]
When entering the plane parking lot 30, the user stops the vehicle in front of the entrance gate 31, receives a parking ticket from the ticket issuing machine 32, enters the parking lot from the entrance gate 31, and parks in a predetermined section. Further, when issuing the ticket is completed, the ticket issuing machine 32 transmits to the parking fee management device 10 warehousing information in which the parking ticket number and the warehousing time are associated with each other. When receiving the parking information, the parking fee management device 10 updates the parking management information based on the parking information. As a result, the parking lot number and the entry time are registered.

[Discount information provision processing]
The parking fee management device 10 transmits the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27 to the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 at a predetermined timing.
For example, when the user of the parking lot performs a predetermined input operation on the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 , a discount information viewing request is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10 . For example, when the user activates a pre-installed parking application on the user terminal 50 and presses a discount information browsing button from a menu displayed on the display screen, the discount information browsing request is sent to the parking fee management device. 10. Also, when the user presses a discount information browsing button from a menu or the like displayed on the display screen of the information terminal 60 , a discount information browsing request is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10 .

Upon receiving the discount information browsing request, the parking fee management device 10 transmits the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27 to the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 that made the request. Thereby, the display screen of the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 displays the discount information in which the time period and the discount rate are associated. As a result, the user can check the discount rate for each time period, and can consider the departure time and the like. Further, on the display screen, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, event information and peak hour information in commercial facilities may be displayed as remarks.

[Fare information provision processing and parking reservation acceptance processing]
When the user of the parking lot performs a predetermined input operation on the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 , the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request are transmitted to the parking fee management device 10 .
For example, when the user activates a pre-installed parking application on the user terminal 50 and presses a charge disclosure button from a menu displayed on the display screen, an entry field for entering a parking ticket number is displayed. be. The user enters the parking ticket number written on the parking ticket with a key, or reads the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the parking ticket with the two-dimensional barcode reader of the user terminal 50 to park. Enter ticket number. After entering the parking ticket number, for example, when the confirmation button is pressed, the parking ticket number and the charge disclosure request are transmitted to the parking charge management device 10 .

When the user presses a charge disclosure button from a menu displayed on the display screen of the information terminal 60, an entry field for entering a parking ticket number is displayed. The user inputs the parking ticket number written on the parking ticket, or causes the two-dimensional barcode reader provided in the information terminal 60 to read the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the parking ticket. , enter the parking ticket number. After entering the parking ticket number, for example, when the confirmation button is pressed, the parking ticket number and the charge disclosure request are transmitted to the parking charge management device 10 .

When the parking fee management device 10 receives the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request from the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60, the parking fee management device 10 obtains the parking ticket number from the parking ticket number from the parking parking management information stored in the parking parking management information storage unit 22. Acquire the warehousing time corresponding to . Then, using the obtained parking time and the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27, individual charge information in which the leaving time zone and the parking charge are associated is created, and the user terminal 50 of the request source is generated. Or it transmits to the information terminal 60 .
As a result, the display screen of the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 displays personal charge information in which the time slot and the parking charge are associated. The user can consider the leaving time while confirming the parking fee.

[Payment processing]
For example, prior to leaving the parking lot, the user settles the payment at the pre-payment machine 35 installed in the commercial facility, parking lot, or the like. For example, the user inserts the parking ticket into the parking ticket reader provided in the advance payment machine 35 . As a result, payment request information including the parking ticket number is transmitted from the advance payment machine 35 to the parking fee management device 10 . When receiving the settlement request information, the parking fee management device 10 acquires the parking time corresponding to the parking ticket number from the parking entry/exit management information, and calculates the charging time from the current time and the parking time. Also, the discount rate corresponding to the current time period is acquired from the discount information, and the parking fee is calculated based on the charging time, the discount rate, and the basic parking fee. The parking fee management device 10 transmits the calculated parking fee to the advance payment machine 35 .
As a result, the parking fee is displayed on the display section of the advance payment machine 35 . When the settlement is completed, the information is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10, and the current time is written in the settlement time of the entering/leaving management information.

[Delivery process]
When leaving the flat parking lot 30, the user gets into a parked vehicle, stops the vehicle in front of an exit gate 33, and inserts a parking ticket into a payment machine 34 set at the exit gate 33. - 特許庁As a result, the exit request information including the parking ticket number is transmitted from the payment machine 34 to the parking fee management device 10 . When the parking charge management device 10 receives the parking exit request information, the parking fee management device 10 acquires the settlement time corresponding to the parking ticket number from the parking entry/exit management information. Here, if the settlement time cannot be obtained, that is, if advance settlement has not been performed, the aforementioned settlement processing is performed at the settlement machine 34 . On the other hand, if the settlement time can be acquired, it is determined whether the difference between the settlement time and the current time is within a predetermined time. Open and allow issue. On the other hand, if the difference between the settlement time and the current time has passed the predetermined time, the parking fee is calculated again with the settlement time as the starting point, the amount is collected again, and the exit gate 33 is closed. open. In this case, the discount may not be applied to the recollected parking fee.

When the exit gate 33 opens, the user moves the vehicle and leaves the parking lot. Further, when exiting the parking lot is completed, the fare adjustment machine 34 transmits exiting information in which the parking ticket number and the exiting time are associated to the parking fee management device 10 . When the parking fee management device 10 receives the parking information, the parking fee management device 10 updates the parking management information based on the parking information.

As described above, the parking fee management device, the parking fee management method, and the program according to the present embodiment have the following effects.
A delivery peak time at which delivery is concentrated is estimated, and based on the estimated delivery peak time, discount information is created in which a time zone and a discount rate or discount amount are associated. In the discount information, the discount rate or discount amount for the non-peak delivery hours is set higher than the discount rate or discount amount for the peak delivery hours, so that the user can be given an incentive to leave the garage while avoiding the peak delivery hours. . As a result, it is possible to disperse the leaving of the parking lot, thereby reducing the waiting time of the users at the time of leaving the parking lot due to the concentration of leaving the parking lot, and mitigating the effects of congestion on the surrounding roads and the like.

In addition, although the case where discount information is displayed on the user terminal 50 and the information terminal 60 has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the discount information may be constantly displayed on a display provided in a parking lot, commercial facility, or the like. As a result, many users can be made to recognize the leaving time zone with a high discount rate, and the concentration of leaving the car can be alleviated.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the explanation was given assuming a parking lot of a commercial facility. The discount time period and the discount rate may be set according to the number of parking spaces and the processing capacity (the number of vehicles entering or leaving the parking facility that can be processed per unit time) of the parking lot.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the discount rate is set based on the departure peak time, but in addition or instead of this, the discount rate is set based on the number of users on the day (parking rate). You can do it. For example, if the number of users (stocking rate) is less than a predetermined number, the discount may not be applied, or the discount rate may be set lower than when the number of users (stocking rate) is greater than or equal to a predetermined number. .

Further, in the above embodiment, the discount rate corresponding to the time zone of leaving the parking lot is reflected in the parking fee, and the fee reflecting the discount is collected. The operation is taken so that a uniform parking lot fee is collected at times. In this case, for example, when the vehicle leaves the garage, it may be configured such that the fee corresponding to the time of leaving the garage is refunded. In addition, instead of discounting the parking fee, another method such as distributing novelty goods may be used to reduce the concentration of leaving times.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a parking fee management device, a parking fee management method, and a program according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. A parking fee management device, a parking fee management method, and a program according to the present embodiment are applied to a parking lot that accepts parking reservation. A representative example of a parking lot that accepts reservations for leaving the vehicle is, for example, a mechanical parking device that transports the vehicle between a hangar (storage area) that stores the vehicle and the boarding / alighting room by a transportation means (lift, pallet, conveyor, etc.), A valet parking facility in which a worker or a self-propelled vehicle carrier transports a vehicle between a boarding/alighting room and a hangar.
In the following, the same reference numerals are given to the configurations that are common to the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof are omitted, and different points are mainly described.

FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functions of the parking fee management device 10a according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the parking fee management device 10a further includes a parking leaving reservation reception unit 41 in addition to the configuration of the parking fee management device 10 described above. Further, the parking fee management device 10a includes a discount information creation unit 43 instead of the discount information creation unit 26. As shown in FIG.

The parking lot reservation reception unit 41 receives parking lot reservation information including a parking lot number and a parking lot reservation time slot from a user terminal 50, an information terminal 60, or a parking lot reservation terminal (not shown) provided in a commercial facility or parking lot. Reservation is accepted based on this delivery reservation information when received via the communication unit 20 .

Specifically, the delivery reservation acceptance unit 41 holds an upper limit value for the number of delivery reservations accepted for each time unit (eg, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.). This upper limit value is a value determined in advance according to, for example, the processing capacity of the parking facility and road conditions (traffic conditions) around the parking lot. In addition, the upper limit value may be set to a value with a predetermined margin in consideration of users who leave the garage without making a parking reservation.

The delivery reservation reception unit 41 holds delivery reservation information in which, for example, a time zone, the number of delivery reservations, and the upper limit of reservation are associated with each other. When the delivery reservation information is received from the user terminal 50 or the like, the delivery reservation reception unit 41 determines whether or not the number of reservations for the delivery reservation time zone included in the delivery reservation information has reached the upper limit value. If it does not reach the upper limit, it accepts the delivery reservation, reflects it in the delivery reservation information, and updates the entry/exit management information stored in the entry/exit management information storage unit 22 . FIG. 9 shows an example of incoming/outgoing management information according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the parking ticket number is associated with the parking ticket number, and the parking reservation time is further registered in the parking entry/exit management information.
In addition, if the number of reservations in the time slot specified by the delivery reservation information has reached the upper limit, the delivery reservation reception unit 41 cannot accept the delivery reservation. It is transmitted to the user terminal 50 or the like that is the transmission source.

The discount information creation unit 43 is similar to the above-described discount information creation unit 26 in that it creates discount information in which the time period and the discount rate or the discount amount are associated, but differs in the method of setting the discount rate. Specifically, the discount information creation unit 43 changes the discount rate according to the delivery reservation status. In other words, the status of delivery reservations changes from moment to moment. Therefore, the discount information creating unit 43 dynamically changes the discount rate according to the status of the parking reservation. More specifically, the discount rate is lowered as the number of reservations increases in each time slot. Alternatively, the discount information creating unit 43 may compare the number of reservations for each time period and increase the discount rate for the time period in which the number of reservations is less than or equal to a predetermined value. By doing so, it is possible to promote decentralization of reservations.

More specifically, the discount information creating unit 43 sets the discount rate based on the peak hours estimated by the estimating unit 25, as in the first embodiment described above. This discount rate is set as an initial value. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of discount information in the initial state. In the discount information illustrated in FIG. 10, discount rates and reservation statuses are registered in association with time slots. However, since no reservations have been made at this time, the number of reservations is zero in any time slot.
In addition, since the discount rate varies according to the reservation status, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the discount rate in the initial state may be set higher than the discount rate in the first embodiment described above.

The discount information creating unit 43 updates the discount information at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the discount information creation unit 43 acquires delivery reservation information held by the delivery reservation reception unit 41 at a predetermined timing, and updates the discount information based on the latest acquired delivery reservation information. For example, the discount information creation unit 43 compares the latest parking reservation information with the parking reservation information acquired last time, sets the discount rate lower than the previous value in the time period when the number of reservations increases, and cancels the reservation. The discount rate is set higher than the previous value in the time period when the number of reservations has decreased due to the discount rate. As a result, it becomes possible to guide the reservation of leaving the parking lot in the time period when the number of reservations is small.

FIG. 11 shows an example of discount information when the discount rate is changed according to the number of reservations. In the discount information exemplified in FIG. 11, the discount rate is set to 0% in the time period when the number of reservations reaches the upper limit of 30 cases. Also, when compared with the discount information in the initial state shown in FIG. 10, it can be seen that the discount rate is set lower in stages as the number of reservations increases. The discount information created by the discount information creation section 43 is stored in the discount information storage section 27 .

Next, with regard to the processing executed by the parking fee management device 10a according to the present embodiment, the description of the same processing as in the above-described first embodiment will be omitted, and the different processing will be mainly described.

[Discount information provision processing and delivery reservation reception processing]
When the user of the parking lot performs a predetermined input operation on the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60, a discount information viewing request is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10a. For example, when the user activates a pre-installed parking application on the user terminal 50 and presses a discount information browsing button from a menu displayed on the display screen, the discount information browsing request is sent to the parking fee management device. 10a. Also, when the user presses a discount information browsing button from a menu or the like displayed on the display screen of the information terminal 60, a discount information browsing request is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10a.

Upon receiving the discount information viewing request, the parking fee management device 10a transmits the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27 to the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 that made the request. Thereby, the display screen of the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 displays the discount information in which the time period and the discount rate are associated. In addition, this display screen may display the number of reserved deliveries for each time slot and its upper limit.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the information terminal 60 on which discount information is displayed. As shown in FIG. 12, on the display screen of the information terminal 60, for example, a screen showing the discount rate and reservation status (the number of reservations for the upper limit) is displayed for each time slot. This display screen also displays a reservation button 52 for making a parking reservation. This reservation button 52 is displayed, for example, only during a period in which the number of reservations has not reached the upper limit. As a result, the user can easily make a parking reservation by pressing the reservation button 52 of the desired time slot.

When the user presses the reservation button 52, for example, an entry field for entering a parking ticket number is displayed. The user enters the parking ticket number written on the parking ticket with a key, or reads the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the parking ticket with the two-dimensional barcode reader of the user terminal 50 to park. Enter ticket number. After inputting the parking ticket number, for example, when a confirmation button is pressed, a parking ticket number and a time period for which the parking ticket is desired to be reserved are sent to the parking fee management device 10a.

When receiving the parking fee reservation request, the parking fee management device 10a updates the parking reservation information based on the parking reservation request, and updates the entering/leaving management information.

[Fare information provision processing and parking reservation acceptance processing]
When the user of the parking lot performs a predetermined input operation on the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 , the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request are transmitted to the parking fee management device 10 .
For example, when the user activates a pre-installed parking application on the user terminal 50 and presses a charge disclosure button from a menu displayed on the display screen, an entry field for entering a parking ticket number is displayed. be. The user enters the parking ticket number written on the parking ticket with a key, or reads the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the parking ticket with the two-dimensional barcode reader of the user terminal 50 to park. Enter ticket number. After inputting the parking ticket number, for example, when the confirmation button is pressed, the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request are transmitted to the parking fee management device 10a.

When the user presses a charge disclosure button from a menu displayed on the display screen of the information terminal 60, an entry field for entering a parking ticket number is displayed. The user inputs the parking ticket number written on the parking ticket, or causes the two-dimensional barcode reader provided in the information terminal 60 to read the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the parking ticket. , enter the parking ticket number. After inputting the parking ticket number, for example, when the confirmation button is pressed, the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request are transmitted to the parking fee management device 10a.

When the parking fee management device 10 receives the parking ticket number and the fee disclosure request from the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60, the parking fee management device 10 obtains the parking ticket number from the parking ticket number from the parking parking management information stored in the parking parking management information storage unit 22. Acquire the warehousing time corresponding to . Then, using the obtained parking time and the discount information stored in the discount information storage unit 27, individual charge information in which the leaving time zone and the parking charge are associated is created, and the user terminal 50 of the request source is generated. Or it transmits to the information terminal 60 .
As a result, the display screen of the user terminal 50 or the information terminal 60 displays personal charge information in which the time slot and the parking charge are associated.

13 and 14 show examples of display screens of personal charge information. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a bar 51 for selecting a time period is displayed on the display screen. By moving this bar 51, the parking fee for the time period selected by the bar 51 is displayed at the top of the screen. It is displayed large. FIG. 13 shows an example of the display screen when the time slot of 16:00 is selected, and FIG. 14 shows an example of the display screen when the time slot of 16:45 is selected.

Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14, a reservation button 52 for making a parking reservation is displayed on the display screen of the personal charge information. The user can easily make a parking reservation by setting the bar 51 to the desired time slot and pressing the reservation button 52 .
When the reservation button 52 is pressed by the user, parking fee reservation information including the selected parking reservation time slot and parking ticket number is transmitted to the parking fee management device 10a. When receiving the parking fee reservation information, the parking fee management device 10a updates the parking reservation information based on the parking reservation information, and updates the entering/leaving management information.

[Payment processing and delivery processing]
For example, when it is time for the reservation to leave the parking lot, the user completes the payment at the advance payment machine and heads to the parking lot to leave the parking lot. Since the pre-settlement process and the leaving process are the same as those in the above-described first embodiment, descriptions thereof are omitted here.
Note that advance payment may be made by electronic payment using the user terminal 50 .
It should be noted that, even though the parking reservation has been made, if the parking lot does not leave during the reserved time slot, the parking fee based on the basic charge may be collected without applying the discount rate.

As described above, the parking fee management device, the parking fee management method, and the program according to the present embodiment have the following effects.
Discount information in which the time period and the discount rate or discount amount are associated is created, and the discount rate or discount amount is updated according to the parking reservation status, so the parking reservation status is reflected in the parking fee discount rate. becomes possible. In this way, by linking the discount rate of the parking fee with the reservation status of leaving the parking lot, it is possible to disperse the reservation of leaving the parking lot, thereby alleviating the concentration of leaving the parking lot.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the initial value of the discount information is determined according to the estimation result by the estimation unit 25, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the initial value of discount information may be set to a preset value (eg, 20%).

[Third embodiment]
Next, a parking fee management device, a parking fee management method, and a program according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Although each of the above-described embodiments aims at alleviating the concentration of unloading, the present embodiment differs in that it also aims at alleviating the concentration of unloading. For example, at a facility where an event is held, there is a possibility that visitors will gather at the start time of the event. As a result, there is a possibility that the parking lot will become crowded, and the surrounding roads will be congested or jammed by vehicles waiting to enter the parking lot.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the time when the concentration of warehousing occurs is estimated, and discounts and privileges according to the estimated warehousing peak time are given to the user, thereby dispersing the warehousing.

FIG. 15 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functions of the parking fee management device 10b according to this embodiment. In FIG. 15, the same components as those of the parking fee management device 10 according to the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted, and different points are mainly described.

In addition to the past delivery performance information described in the first embodiment, the past delivery performance information is stored in the storage/delivery performance information storage unit 24a.
The estimating unit 25a estimates the warehousing peak time based on at least one of past warehousing record information, current event information, current weather information, and current day of the week information. As for this estimation method, it is possible to adopt the same method as the above-described estimation of the delivery peak time.
As an example, when an event is scheduled, the period from a predetermined time (for example, one hour before) to the event start time to the event start time may be estimated as the warehousing peak time.

The privilege information creating unit 44 creates privilege information in which privilege information to be given to the user is associated with a predetermined period before and after the time period determined from the warehousing peak time estimated by the estimating unit 25a.
Here, the predetermined period before and after may be constant, or may be changed according to the warehousing peak time. For example, if the peak arrival time is from 14:00 to 15:00, it can be expected that users will come to the facility around 11:00 and have lunch in the facility. In such a case, the predetermined period before the peak arrival time may be set to three hours from 11:00 to 14:00. Further, the predetermined period after the peak time of warehousing may be set, for example, to a preset reference time (for example, one hour).

The privilege includes, for example, a parking fee discount ticket, a parking fee free ticket, and the like. Here, as for the free parking ticket, for example, a free ticket for a predetermined period such as one hour may be given. At this time, the predetermined period may be determined according to the features of facilities near the parking lot. For example, it may be set to about 1 hour for a place or time period where shopping or coffee can be expected, and for about 1 to 2 hours for a place or time period when a meal can be expected. Also, instead of the above, for example, a free ticket corresponding to the time from the free ticket parking time to the parking peak time may be given.

Also, the privilege to be given may be changed before and after the peak time of warehousing. For example, a benefit granted during a predetermined period before the peak loading time may be more attractive than a benefit granted during a predetermined period after the peak loading time (e.g., mention discount amount, free time for free ticket, etc.) Lengthen). This makes it possible to give the user an incentive to enter early. As a result, it is possible to make people stay at the facility longer, and by leading to purchasing behavior at the facility, it is possible to expect an increase in revenue for the facility as a whole, including the parking lot and the facility.

The privilege information creation unit 44 may transmit the created privilege information to the user terminal via the communication unit 20 . Thereby, it becomes possible to present the privilege information in which the time zone of the warehousing and the privilege are associated with the user before the warehousing. By confirming this privilege information by the user, it can be expected that the warehousing time will be brought forward, and the concentration of warehousing can be alleviated.

When the warehousing reception unit 21a receives the warehousing information via the communication unit 20, the warehousing reception unit 21a determines based on the privilege information whether or not the warehousing time is within the time period during which the privilege can be received. If there is, not only the entry time but also privilege information given to the user is registered in the entry/exit management information. As a result, the privilege information according to the parking lot time is registered in the parking lot management information according to the present embodiment in association with the parking lot number.

If the privilege information registered in the entering/leaving management information is discounted, it is taken into account when the parking fee is settled, and the parking fee is reduced. If the ticket can be used at the facility, the electronic ticket is displayed on the user terminal 50 so that it can be used. You can

As described above, according to the parking fee management device, the parking fee management method, and the program according to the present embodiment, the parking peak time is estimated, and the users who enter the parking lot for a predetermined period before or after the time zone determined from the parking peak time. By giving parking lot discounts and special benefits, it is possible to alleviate the concentration of parking. As a result, it is possible to shorten waiting times and reduce traffic congestion on surrounding roads.

In this embodiment, the combination with the parking fee management device according to the first embodiment has been described, but it is also possible to combine with the parking fee management device according to the second embodiment. In this case, for example, the configuration may be such that the user terminal 50 can make a reservation for warehousing.

Moreover, it is not always necessary to adopt both the granting of a privilege at the time of entering and the granting of a discount rate or amount at the time of leaving. For example, based on the past record of entering and leaving the car, depending on the day, only the benefits at the time of entering the car may be adopted, only the discount rate or the amount of the discount may be given at the time of leaving the car, or both may be adopted.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the privilege is given, but instead of giving the privilege, the user who enters the parking lot during the time period corresponding to the parking peak time, that is, the user who does not cooperate with the distribution of the parking Concentration of warehousing may be alleviated by reducing incentives for warehousing during peak warehousing hours by giving penalties such as not applying discounts at the time of warehousing.
Also, in place of or in addition to a free ticket or discount ticket for the parking lot, a free ticket or discount ticket that can be used at a store affiliated with the parking lot may be given as a privilege.

As described above, the present disclosure has been described using each embodiment, but the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the range described in the above embodiments. Various changes or improvements can be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the gist of the present disclosure, and forms with such changes or improvements are also included in the technical scope of the present disclosure.
