  As the parking time of the bicycle parking information 521, the time when the bicycle C is stored in the bicycle parking facility 3, more specifically, for example, the time when the bicycle lock 33 is locked is stored. This warehousing time is used to calculate a usage fee for the bicycle parking facility 3 when the bicycle C is delivered from the bicycle parking facility 3.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the lending information 522 stores “corresponding facility number”, “status”, and “lending time” information for each lending number of the lending facility 4. In the corresponding facility number, the facility number of the dedicated bicycle parking facility 3 corresponding to the rental facility 4 is stored. For example, since the bicycle parking facility 3 with the facility number 1 is dedicated for rental of the rental facility 4 with the rental number 1, “1” is stored in the corresponding facility number. Therefore, the management apparatus 5 can confirm which bicycle parking facility 3 corresponds by confirming the corresponding facility number of the lending information 522.

  The status of the lending information 522 stores information indicating whether or not the stroller B is in stock in the lending facility 4, that is, whether or not the stroller B can be rented, for example, “Yes” or “No”. . Therefore, the management device 5 can confirm the stroller B that can be rented by confirming the status of the lending information 522.

  The lending time of the lending information 522 stores the time when the stroller B is rented from the lending facility 4, more specifically, for example, the time when the stroller lock 43 is unlocked. This lending time is used for calculating the usage fee of the stroller B when the stroller B is returned to the lending facility 4.

  The fee information 523 stores a usage fee of the bicycle parking facility 3 and a rental fee of the stroller B every predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day). For example, when parking for up to 2 hours is free, this is also stored in the fee information 523. This fee information 523 is used to calculate the usage fee for the bicycle parking facility 3 and the usage fee for the stroller B. Therefore, when the usage fee is changed, the contents of the fee information 523 are changed including the case where the usage fee is free.

  The warehousing task 53 is a task program relating to the processing when the bicycle C is stored in the bicycle parking facility 3, and is activated when the warehousing button 81 is operated. The warehousing task 53 refers to the bicycle parking information 521 of the DB 52, identifies the bicycle parking facility 3 that is not used exclusively for baby stroller rental, and displays the facility number of the identified bicycle parking facility 3 on the display unit 7. Moreover, in order to notify a user of the position of the specified bicycle parking facility 3, the warehousing task 53 blinks the parking position lamp 35 of the corresponding bicycle parking facility 3.

  When the bicycle C is stored in the bicycle parking facility 3 instructed by the user and the bicycle sensor 32 of the bicycle parking facility 3 detects the parking of the bicycle C, the storage task 53 is activated by operating the bicycle lock 33. The bicycle C is locked and the parking position lamp 35 is turned off. Thereby, the user can leave the bicycle C only when the user performs an appropriate leaving operation.

  The warehousing task 53 accesses the bicycle parking information 521 after the operation of the bicycle lock 33, changes the status of the corresponding bicycle parking equipment 3 from “empty” to “enter”, and registers the warehousing time. Thereby, the bicycle parking facility 3 after warehousing becomes unusable.

  It is also possible to introduce a warehousing task that starts when the user enters the bicycle parking facility 3. In this case, the warehousing button 81 is not necessary, and the user first enters the vacant parking facility 3 other than the dedicated baby stroller (the vacant parking facility having the facility numbers 3 to 10 in FIG. 1). When the bicycle sensor 32 of the bicycle parking facility 3 detects the entry, the entry task is activated. After the bicycle lock 33 is activated, the bicycle parking information 33 is accessed and the status of the corresponding bicycle parking facility 3 is changed from “empty” to “enter”. "And change the warehousing time. Thereby, the bicycle parking facility 3 after warehousing becomes unusable.

  The exit task 54 is a task program related to processing for exiting the bicycle C from the parking facility 3 for a user who only parks a bicycle, and is activated when the exit button 82 is operated. The delivery task 54 displays a message such as “Please enter the number of the bicycle rack to be delivered” on the display unit 7. When the equipment number of the bicycle parking facility 3 to be delivered is input by the ten key 86, the delivery task 54 refers to the bicycle parking information 521 and the fee information 523 in the DB 52, and calculates the usage fee from the entry time to the current time. Then, the calculated usage fee is displayed on the display unit 7. In this embodiment, for example, the usage fee for up to 2 hours is free, and after 2 hours, for example, a predetermined fee is added every 30 minutes. In addition, since the exit button 82 is for a user who only parks a bicycle, if the stroller rental user mistakenly operates the bicycle when returning it, the equipment number of the parking facility 3 to be delivered is input by the numeric keypad 86. After that, it is possible to display the fact on the display unit 7 of the management device 5 and program the delivery task 54 so that the operation is completed.

  When the user deposits the usage fee into the depositing unit, the delivery task 54 releases the bicycle lock 33 of the bicycle parking facility 3. When it is detected by the bicycle sensor 32 that the user has left the bicycle C from the bicycle parking facility 3, the vehicle exit task 54 accesses the bicycle parking information 521 and displays the status of the corresponding bicycle parking facility 3 as "input". ”To“ empty ”and delete the warehousing time. Thereby, the bicycle parking facility 3 after leaving the car can be used again.

  In addition, since the warehousing task 53 and the evacuation task 54 mentioned above are the same as that of the conventional general bicycle parking system, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The lending task 55 is a task program relating to processing for lending the stroller B to a user who uses the bicycle parking facility 3 and is activated when the lending button 83 is operated. The return task 56 is a task program relating to processing for accepting the return of the stroller B and issuing the returned user's bicycle C, and is activated when the return button 84 is operated.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, a series of processing related to lending the stroller B is performed in the order of the lending task 55 and the return task 56. In this embodiment, in order to prevent a malfunction such as an error in the combination of the bicycle parking facility and the lending facility among a plurality of users, the lending task of other users at the time of lending application (step S1). 55 or the return task 56 is not processed (NO in step S2), the loan task 55 is executed (step S3), and the other user's loan task 55 or the return task 56 is being processed. In (YES in step S2), the application operation is not accepted. Similarly, at the time of return application (step S4), if the other user's lending task 55 or return task 56 is not processed (NO in step S5), the return task 56 is executed (step S6), etc. When the user's lending task 55 or return task 56 is being processed (YES in step S5), the application operation is not accepted.

  Next, the processing procedure of the lending task 55 will be described according to the flowchart in FIG. When the rental button 83 is operated, the lending task 55 checks the stock of the stroller B with reference to the lending information 522 of the DB 52, and the lending facility 3 where the bicycle C is parked and the lending facility that lends the stroller B 4 is determined (step S11). If the stroller B is not in stock (NO in step S11), a message that there is no stroller that can be rented is displayed on the display unit 7 (step S12). In this case, the lending task 55 ends.

  When the stroller B is in stock (YES in step S11), the lending task 55 determines the usage fee for the stroller B with reference to the charge information 523 in the DB 52 and displays it on the display unit 7 (step S13). In this embodiment, for example, when the baby stroller B is rented, the use within a predetermined time is allowed, the basic usage fee as a deposit at the time of rental is collected, and the additional fee according to the usage time is collected at the time of return. Assumed to be performed. Accordingly, in this step 13, the basic usage fee of the stroller B is displayed on the display unit 7.

  When the basic usage fee is deposited by the user from the depositing unit (YES in step S14), the lending task 55 displays the determined facility number of the bicycle parking facility 3 and the lending number of the lending facility 4 on the display unit 7. At the same time (step S15), the parking position lamp 35 and the rental position lamp 45 are blinked (step S16). Thereby, the user can distinguish easily the bicycle parking equipment 3 which parks the bicycle C, and the rental equipment 4 which borrows the baby stroller B without mistake. Further, by displaying a sentence such as “Please remove the stroller after entering the bicycle” on the display unit 7, it is possible to prevent an error of the lending task 55.

  When the bicycle sensor 32 detects that the user has entered the designated bicycle parking facility 3 (YES in step S17), the rental task 55 locks the bicycle lock 33 of the bicycle parking facility 3. (Step S18). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the entered bicycle C from being delivered without paying the parking fee. In addition, after taking out the stroller B from the rental facility 4, the bicycle C is taken out from the bicycle parking facility 3, and after the bicycle C has been received in order to prevent illegal activities such as acquiring only the stroller B without parking the bicycle C. It is preferable to control to lock immediately.

  The lending task 55 releases the stroller lock 43 of the designated lending facility 4 so that the stroller B can be taken out from the stroller rack 41 (step S19). When the stroller sensor 42 detects that the user has taken out the stroller B from the designated lending facility 4 (YES in step S20), the lending task 55 turns off the parking position lamp 35 and the lending position lamp 45. (Step S21), the bicycle parking information 521 and the rental information 522 in the DB 52 are updated (Step S22). Specifically, the status of the corresponding bicycle parking facility 3 in the bicycle parking information 521 is changed from “empty” to “enter”, and the warehousing time is registered. Further, the status of the corresponding lending facility 4 in the lending information 522 is changed from “Yes” to “None”, and the lending time is registered. As a result, the bicycle parking facility 3 and the rental facility 4 with the updated information cannot be used by other users.

  Next, the processing procedure of the return task 56 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the return button 84 is operated, the return task 56 displays a message such as “Please enter the number of the stroller to be returned” on the display unit 7. Since the number of the stroller B matches the lending number of the lending facility 4, the return task 56 can specify the lending number of the lending facility 4 corresponding to the number of the stroller B.

  When the user operates the numeric keypad 86 to input the number of the stroller B (step S23), the return task 56 refers to the rental information 522 and the fee information 523 in the DB 52, and calculates the additional fee from the rental time to the current time. calculate. Further, the return task 56 refers to the bicycle parking information 521 and the fee information 523 in the DB 52, and calculates the usage fee of the bicycle parking equipment from the warehousing time to the current time. Then, the calculated additional fee for the stroller B and the usage fee for the bicycle parking facility 3 are displayed on the display unit 7 (step S24).

  When the addition fee and the usage fee are deposited by the user from the depositing unit (YES in step S25), the return task 56 includes the rental number of the rental facility 4 where the stroller B is returned and the parking lot where the bicycle C is delivered. The equipment number of the wheel equipment 3 is displayed on the display unit 7 (step S26), and the parking position lamp 35 and the lending position lamp 45 are blinked (step S27). Thereby, the user can identify the rental facility 4 that returns the stroller B and the bicycle parking facility 3 that leaves the bicycle C easily and without error. Further, by displaying a sentence such as “Please take out the bicycle after entering the stroller” on the display unit 7, it is possible to prevent an error of the return task 56.

  When the stroller sensor 42 detects that the user has accommodated the stroller B in the designated rental facility 4 (YES in step S28), the return task 56 is based on the tag information transmitted from the IC tag reader 46, It is confirmed whether or not the stroller B corresponding to the rental facility 4 is accommodated (step S29). When the stored stroller B does not correspond to the rental facility 4 (NO in step S29), a message that the stroller does not correspond is displayed on the display unit 7 (step S30). In this case, the added additional fee and the usage fee are refunded, and the return task 56 ends. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the stroller B from being returned to the lending facility 4 that does not correspond, and to maintain the association between the stroller B and the lending facility 4 at all times. In addition, a baby stroller that is different from the one that was rented or a case where an article other than a baby stroller is accommodated in the rental facility 4 can be accommodated, and if the baby stroller B is not returned normally, the bicycle C cannot be delivered. Fraudulent activities such as fraudulent fraud can be prevented.

  If it is confirmed based on the tag information that the stroller B accommodated in the rental facility 4 is compatible (YES in step S29), the return task 56 operates the stroller lock 43 (step S31). ) Preventing unauthorized removal of the stroller B from the lending facility 4. Next, the return task 56 releases the bicycle lock 33 of the bicycle parking facility 3 where the user parks the bicycle C (step S32).

  When the bicycle sensor 32 detects that the user has left the bicycle C from the bicycle parking facility 3 (YES in step S33), the return task 56 turns off the bicycle parking position lamp 35 and the rental position lamp 45. (Step S34), the bicycle parking information 521 and the rental information 522 of the DB 52 are updated (Step S35). Specifically, the status of the corresponding bicycle parking facility 3 in the bicycle parking information 521 is changed from “ON” to “empty”, and the warehousing time is deleted. Further, the status of the corresponding lending facility 4 in the lending information 522 is changed from “No” to “Yes”, and the lending time is deleted. As a result, the bicycle parking facility 3 and the rental facility 4 with the updated information can be used. It is preferable that the bicycle parking information 521 and the rental information 522 are stored in a backup database (not shown) at the time of update so that the parking and rental history information can be confirmed.

As described above, according to the stroller rental / bicycle parking system 2 of the first embodiment, the same effects as the effects of claims 1 to 3 and 6 to 8 described in the above-mentioned [Effects of the invention] section. It is possible to obtain

  In the above embodiment, the management device 5 has a function of managing the entry and exit of the bicycle C and a function of managing the rental and return of the stroller B in one device. A management device 5A (not shown) having a function of managing entry and exit and a management device 5B (not shown) having a function of managing lending and returning of the stroller B are separately installed. It can also be configured as a stroller rental / bicycle parking system 2A.

  In this case, the management device 5A does not include the lending task 55 and the return task 56, and the management device 5B does not include the warehousing task 53 and the shipping task 54, but the display unit 7 and the operation unit 8 have the same functions as the management device 5. Both management apparatuses share the bicycle parking information 521, the rental information 522, and the charge information 523 by the central processing unit 57 connected to each other. The input / output unit 51A of the management device 5A is connected to the bicycle sensor 32, the bicycle lock 33, the parking position lamp 35, and the input / output unit 51B of the management device 5B includes the stroller sensor 42, the stroller lock 43, and the rental position lamp. 45, an IC tag reader 46, and the like are connected, and the central processing unit 57 is connected to each task and information.

  With such a configuration, a user who only uses a bicycle uses the management device 5A at the time of input operation and payment, and a user who rents the stroller B uses the management device 5B. The procedure becomes clear. In addition, although the burden on equipment costs increases for the operator, it can be easily applied to an existing bicycle parking system. In other words, if the stroller rental management device 5B and the rental equipment 4 are installed in the existing bicycle parking lot, and the management device 5B is linked to the bicycle parking management device, the introduction bicycle can be installed relatively easily and at a low cost. You can rent a baby stroller.
