Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal that stores a file indicating a relationship between a plurality of privilege granting sources that grant a predetermined privilege and a plurality of privilege use destinations that can use the privilege granted by the privilege granting source. The present invention also relates to a parking fee settlement system using the portable terminal.

Conventionally, in a certain area, stores A, B, C, etc. have made parking contracts with a plurality of parking lots P, Q, R, etc. for use by customers, and parking lots P, Q, R, etc. Each side has a parking contract with a plurality of stores A, B, C, and the like. For example, store A contracts with parking lots P, Q, and R, store B contracts with parking lots Q and R, and store C contracts with parking lot R. Under such a relationship, there is a situation in which each store grants a parking lot discount point as a privilege for a customer who uses the parking lot. Each store to which a discount point is granted is a privilege grant source that grants a privilege, and a parking lot is a privilege use destination that can use a privilege called a discount point. Under such circumstances, there are the following problems with respect to discount points or discount times of parking lots.
(1) As described above, when there is a relationship between a plurality of stores and a plurality of parking lots, there has been no system that unifies and manages discount points given by each store. For this reason, when a customer who uses the parking lot Q is given discount points for the parking lot Q from both the store A and the store B, the customer must submit each parking service ticket at the time of settlement. There was a case. In addition, even when the parking service ticket is given from both the stores A and B, if the parking lot P is used, the store B does not contract with the parking lot P. Only a parking service ticket can be used. In such a case, the customer or the parking lot side sometimes has to check whether the parking service ticket can be used.
(2) In the store, it was necessary to transfer a parking service ticket.
(3) Operation using a parking service ticket was required when entering the parking lot.
(4) The parking service ticket issued by the store could not be managed and withdrawn for each individual and for each parking lot.
(5) The parking discount time (or parking service ticket) could not be carried after the next day after identifying the user.

  Regarding such a problem, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-222276, “parking fee management that can use a parking lot without using a parking management medium such as a parking ticket, a receipt, an entrance card, or a membership card” A system is provided. "The technology is disclosed.

However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-222276 does not disclose a technique for solving the problem of the use relationship between a plurality of stores and a plurality of parking lots.
JP 2002-222276 A

  By managing the relationship between a plurality of privilege granting sources and a plurality of privilege usage destinations on the mobile terminal, the privilege granted from each privilege granting source is centrally managed for each individual. Moreover, the system which allocates a privilege according to each privilege use destination from which the privilege which can be utilized differs about the privilege provided from each privilege provision source is provided.

The portable terminal of this invention
Correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the privilege granted by the privilege grant source that grants the predetermined privilege, the privilege grant source that granted the privilege, and the privilege use destination that can use the privilege granted by the privilege grant source A file storage unit for storing a correspondence information file including:
A communication unit that receives an acquisition request for acquiring a corresponding information file stored in the file storage unit;
And a file control unit that transmits a correspondence information file via the communication unit in response to the acquisition request received by the communication unit.

  According to the present invention, by integrally managing the relationship between a plurality of privilege granting sources and a plurality of privilege usage destinations on the mobile terminal, the side to which the privilege is granted can efficiently use the privilege. Moreover, the use of the privilege which the side which provided the privilege also provided can be managed efficiently.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, a contract is made between a plurality of stores such as stores A, B, and C and a plurality of parking lots P, Q, R, etc. with which these stores are contracted to park a customer's vehicle. When there is a relationship, the present invention relates to a parking fee settlement system that manages the use of discount points of parking lots provided by stores A, B, C, and the like.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a contract relationship between a store and a parking lot. For example, store A has a contract with P parking lot and Q parking lot. In addition, the store B has a contract with the R parking lot. The store A or the like gives a discount point of a contracted parking lot to a customer who has shopped or eaten at his store. Here, the “discount” may discount the parking time or the parking fee.
In the first embodiment, the discount point means a discount for a parking lot such as a parking fee and a parking time of the parking lot. The A store to the E store are “privilege granting sources” that give “privileges” called discount points to customers. Moreover, the discount point which A store gives can be utilized about P parking lot and Q parking lot which are the parking lot which A store has contracted. In this case, the P parking lot and the Q parking lot are “privilege users” that can use “privileges” called discount points. These relationships also apply to other stores and parking lots (parking lots contracted with the store).

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a customer at a store A obtains discount points from a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal 1 (an example of an information transmission device) arranged at the store A. The mobile terminal 2 carried by the customer receives “discount information” (an example of grant source information) through communication with the POS terminal 1. Examples of the mobile terminal 2 include a mobile phone and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Here, “discount information” refers to (1) discount points (privileges) for using a parking lot, (2) an identifier (privilege grant source) identifying a store to which discount points are granted, for example, the name of the store, 3) It includes an identifier of the contracted parking lot where the discount points can be used (privilege usage destination), for example, the name of the parking lot. It may also contain a date. In the case of FIG. 2, for example, (1) 1000 discount points, (2) A store as the store name, (3) P parking lot and Q parking lot as the contract parking lot. This corresponds to the data on December 25, 2003 for the store A shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the mobile terminal 2. Although the vehicle-mounted device 3 is connected, the connection with the vehicle-mounted device 3 will be described later. The portable terminal 2 includes a file storage unit 21, a file control unit 23, a display unit 24, and a terminal side communication unit 25. The file storage unit 21 stores a parking discount management file 22 and transmits the parking discount management file 22 to the parking lot management computer 6 as described later. The file control unit 23 controls the parking discount management file 22. The display unit 24 displays the parking discount management file 22. Further, the display unit 24 displays an image corresponding to the additional information added to the discount information as will be described later. The terminal side communication unit 25 communicates with an external device for the mobile terminal 2. The external device is the POS terminal 1 and the vehicle-mounted device 3.

  The mobile terminal 2 receives the discount information by communicating with the POS terminal 1 by the terminal side communication unit 25. The file control unit 23 stores the received discount information in the file storage unit 21 and corrects the parking discount management file 22 based on the received discount information. Further, predetermined additional information can be added to the discount information. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 2 may receive additional information together with discount information. Here, the “additional information” means “advertisement information” indicating a predetermined advertisement, “event information” indicating information about a predetermined event, “town information” indicating area information of the area where the store A is located, or There are “lottery information” and the like that add a “lottery” and give a prize to the winner. In addition, “news” may be added as additional information. When the additional information is received, the file control unit 23 displays an image corresponding to the additional information on the display unit 24 based on the additional information. Here, the communication means between the POS terminal 1 and the terminal side communication unit 25 is not particularly limited. For example, as communication means, infrared rays, BlueTooth (registered trademark), a non-contact IC card function, or the like can be used.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a parking discount management file 22 (an example of a correspondence information file) stored in the file storage unit 21 of the mobile terminal 2. FIG. 2 shows a case in which discount information is acquired from the POS terminal 1 arranged at the A store. However, the POS terminal 1 is also arranged at the B store, the C store, etc. in addition to the A store. Communicate with the POS terminal 1 arranged in these stores, and obtain discount information for each store from each store. The obtained discount information is recorded and managed in the parking discount management file 22. The parking discount management file 22 can be displayed on the display unit 24 of the form terminal 2 to confirm the contents. The parking discount management file 22 in FIG. 4 indicates that the customer carrying the mobile terminal 2 performs shopping at the A store, the C store, and the E store when the contract relationship between the store and the parking lot shown in FIG. 1 exists. In this example, discount points are acquired from each of A store, C store, and E store. The parking discount management file 22 describes the name of the user X, the name of the store to which the discount point is given, the date on which the discount point is given, the discount point, and the point-available parking lot where the discount point can be used. The user X is an owner of the mobile terminal 2 and is a person who is given a discount point.

  The parking discount management file 22 indicates a correspondence relationship (an example of correspondence information) between discount points, a plurality of stores to which discount points are given, and a plurality of point-usable parking lots where the discount points can be used. Here, regarding the store A, a total of 2000 discount points are accumulated, and the discount points can be used for the P parking lot and the Q parking lot. In the case of store C, a total of 1000 discount points are accumulated, and these discount points can be used for the P parking lot, the R parking lot, and the S parking lot. In the case of E store, a total of 2000 discount points are accumulated, and this discount point can be used for the R parking lot and the T parking lot.

  Here, in the parking discount management file 22, when paying attention to the point-usable parking lot, the discount points of the A store and the C store can be used in the P parking lot. Therefore, for the P parking lot, 3000 points can be used, which is a sum of 2000 points of discount points of the A store and 1000 points of discount points of the C store. Similarly, discount points at C store and E store can be used in the R parking lot. Therefore, for the R parking lot, it is possible to use 3000 points, which is a total of 1000 points of discount points of the C store and 2000 points of discount points of the E store. On the other hand, for Q parking lot, S parking lot, and T parking lot, only discount points of one store can be used. The parking fee payment system according to the first embodiment is a system for adjusting the parking fee in such a case.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration of the parking fee settlement system according to the first embodiment. The parking fee settlement system is composed of a plurality of stores, such as A store, B store, and C store, and P parking lots, Q parking lots, R parking lots, and the like that are contracted with these stores. . The relationship between the store and the parking lot is the relationship shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, stores A to C and parking lots are displayed only to P to R, but the relationship of FIG. 1 is assumed. In each store, the mobile terminal 2 acquires discount information through communication between the POS terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 2 and stores the discount information in the parking discount management file 22. A person carrying the mobile terminal 2 is on board the vehicle leaving the parking lot. A vehicle-mounted device 3 is installed in the vehicle. Each parking lot communicates with the vehicle-mounted device 3 of the vehicle leaving the parking lot, and mediates the settlement processing communication between the vehicle-mounted device 3 and the parking lot management computer 6, and the parking lot adjustment machine 5. A parking lot management computer 6 is provided for calculating a parking fee.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing entrance and exit to the parking lot. FIG. 5 is specifically shown. The vehicle 10 is provided with the vehicle-mounted device 3.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process from when a vehicle enters a parking lot, when a user purchases discount points by shopping at a store, and after paying a parking fee at a parking lot exit and leaving the parking lot. is there. The outline of the process from when the vehicle enters the parking lot to when the parking fee is settled and exits the parking lot will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

  In S11, the vehicle 10 arrives at the entrance of the P parking lot. When the vehicle 10 arrives at the entrance, the vehicle-mounted device 3 communicates with the DSRC roadside device 4 and transmits the vehicle-mounted device ID to the DSRC roadside device 4. The DSRC roadside device 4 transmits the received vehicle-mounted device ID to the parking lot management computer 6. The parking lot management computer 6 regards the received vehicle-mounted device ID and the time when the vehicle-mounted device ID is received as the time when the vehicle 10 has entered the P parking lot, and stores this time of entry.

  In S12, the user X of the P parking lot performs shopping at the C store. As a privilege attached to shopping, 500 points are obtained from the C store. This acquisition is as described in the description of FIG. Discount points from the C store are recorded in the parking discount management file 22 in the file storage unit of the portable terminal 2.

  In S13, the user X has a meal at the A store. 500 points are obtained from the A store as a privilege attached to the meal. This acquisition is as described in the description of FIG. Discount points from the store A are recorded in the parking discount management file 22 in the file storage unit of the mobile terminal 2. The acquisition of discount points from the C store and the A store corresponds to the data of February 3, 2004 in the parking discount management file 22 of FIG.

  In S14, the user X returns to the P parking lot and settles the fee. In this case, the user X electronically connects the mobile terminal 2 and the vehicle-mounted device 3 to perform the settlement process.

  In S15, the checkout process is terminated and the vehicle leaves the P parking lot. If there is a discount point for the previous carry-over, it can be used. That is, in S12 and S13, discount points were acquired by shopping and eating. However, even if it is not acquired, if the discount points for carry-over are stored in the parking discount management file 22, this can be used. Or when shopping and acquiring a discount point, the acquired discount point can be piled up in the discount point carried over.

  Next, a specific process of the settlement process described in S14 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a flowchart when the parking fee is settled at the time of leaving the P parking lot.

  In S21, the portable terminal 2 and the vehicle-mounted device 3 are connected. Here, the configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 3 will be described. FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 3. The on-vehicle device 3 includes an on-vehicle device ID storage unit 31, an on-vehicle device side control unit 32, a DSRC communication unit 33, and an on-vehicle device side connection unit 34. The onboard equipment ID storage unit 31 stores the onboard equipment ID. The onboard equipment side control part 32 controls each component. The DSRC communication unit 33 communicates with the DSRC roadside apparatus 4 provided at the entrance and exit of the P parking lot. The in-vehicle device side connection unit 34 communicates with the mobile terminal 2. Normally, the mobile terminal 2 is physically connected to the in-vehicle device side connection unit 34 for communication, but the connection is not limited to the physical connection and may be performed wirelessly. After the connection, the vehicle-mounted device 3 transmits an exit notification signal for requesting exit from the P parking lot to the parking lot management computer 6 via the DSRC roadside device 4.

  In S <b> 22, the parking lot management computer 6 transmits a transmission request signal for requesting transmission of the parking discount management file 22 stored in the file storage unit 21 of the mobile terminal 2. This transmission request signal is transmitted from the parking lot management computer 6 to the vehicle-mounted device 3 via the DSRC roadside device 4.

  In S23, when the vehicle-mounted device 3 receives the transmission request signal of the parking discount management file 22, the on-vehicle device 3 responds to the transmission request signal from the parking lot management computer 6 with respect to the portable terminal 2 in the parking discount management file 22. The parking discount management file 22 stored in the portable terminal 2 is read out by requesting acquisition. The vehicle-mounted device 3 transmits the read parking discount management file 22 to the parking lot management computer 6 via the DSRC roadside device 4 by the DSRC communication unit 33. More specifically, the on-vehicle device side control unit 32 of the on-vehicle device 3 requests the file control unit 23 to acquire the parking discount management file 22 via the terminal-side communication unit 25 of the mobile terminal 2. Send. The file control unit 23 that has received the acquisition request signal transmits the parking discount management file 22 to the vehicle-mounted device 3 through the terminal-side communication unit 25 in response to the acquisition request. The in-vehicle device side connection unit 34 of the in-vehicle device 3 receives the parking discount management file 22.

  In S <b> 24, the vehicle-mounted device side control unit 32 of the vehicle-mounted device 3 transmits the received parking discount management file 22 to the parking lot management computer 6 via the DSRC roadside device 4 by the DSRC communication unit 33.

  In S25, the parking lot management computer 6 performs a settlement process. The settlement process is performed using the vehicle-mounted device ID stored when the vehicle 10 enters and the entrance time. When the parking lot management computer 6 receives the parking discount management file 22 transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 3, the parking lot management computer 6 has information about the point usable parking lot (discounted parking lot) and the point usable parking lot included in the parking discount management file 22. Based on the discount points (discount benefits), the total points of the discount points that can be used for the settlement of the parking fee of the P parking lot are calculated. The file storage unit 21 of the portable terminal 2 stores a parking discount management file 22 shown in FIG. Since the parking lot where the vehicle 10 is parked is the P parking lot, the parking lot management computer 6 searches for the P parking lot from the point available parking lots in the parking discount management file 22. When the point-usable parking lot is the P parking lot, discount points given by the A store and the C store are used. Therefore, the parking lot management computer 6 first confirms that the total of discount points given by the A store and the C store is 3000 points. Next, out of the total 3000 points, a discount point for adjustment (discount benefit for adjustment) that is the total of discount points that can be used for the adjustment of the parking fee of the P parking lot is calculated. This calculation is performed based on a predetermined rule stored in advance in the parking lot management computer 6. For example, all the 3000 points of the total points may be used as settlement discount points, or the settlement discount points may be limited to 2000 points. It can be freely set in the parking lot management computer 6. In this example, all 3000 points are set as discount points for settlement. The parking lot management computer 6 settles the parking fee of the vehicle 10 based on the total of 3000 points. You can decide how to discount the parking fee based on the number of points. For example, about 3000 points, it is good also as a 1 point 1 yen discount, or it is good also as a 1 point 1 second discount. Rules for discounting can be calculated by incorporating them in the parking lot management computer 6 in advance. The parking lot management computer 6 calculates the parking fee of the vehicle 10 using 3000 points which are discount points for settlement. And the calculated discount point for payment and the calculated parking fee are transmitted to the parking lot settlement machine 5 provided in the P parking lot.

  In S26, the parking lot management computer 6 instructs the vehicle-mounted device 3 to withdraw discount points corresponding to 3000 points that are discount points for settlement from the parking discount management file 22 stored in the mobile terminal 2. Send a withdrawal command.

  In S <b> 27, when receiving the discount privilege withdrawal instruction, the vehicle-mounted device 3 withdraws discount points corresponding to 3000 points of discount points for settlement from the parking discount management file 22 stored in the mobile terminal 2. That is, when the point available parking lot is the P parking lot, the discount points assigned by the A store and the C store can be used, and therefore, the discount points are deducted from the discount points assigned by the A store and the C store. In this case, since all 3000 points are withdrawn, the discount points of the A store and the C store in the parking discount management file 22 of FIG. 4 become “zero”.

  In S <b> 28, the on-vehicle device side control unit 32 of the on-vehicle device 3 manages the parking lot from the DSRC communication unit 33 via the DSRC roadside device 4 when the discount points are withdrawn from the parking discount management file 22 of the mobile terminal 2. A withdrawal completion notice is transmitted to the computer 6.

  The user X in the vehicle 10 confirms the parking lot settlement machine 5 on which the parking fee is displayed and completes the settlement. When payment of cash is necessary, the cash is put into the parking lot settlement machine 5 and the settlement is finished.

  In the portable terminal of the first embodiment, the file storage unit stores the parking discount management file, so that the discount points given by the store can be managed for each individual and each point-available parking lot. If there are remaining discount points, discount points can be carried over. Further, the parking fee can be discounted in minutes, and can be carried over in minutes.

  Since the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment acquires discount points by communicating with a POS terminal installed in a store, it can efficiently acquire discount points without requiring a parking ticket.

  Since the mobile terminal according to the first embodiment receives discount information including additional information from a POS terminal installed in a store, it can be promoted for each individual. Further, the content of the additional information to be transmitted can be changed according to the gender and age of the person who receives the additional information.
