Description

  The present invention relates to a parking reservation system in a time rental parking lot.

  The inventor of the present application has proposed a parking reservation system that enables a parking lot to be reserved not on a daily basis but on a short span such as a time unit (see Patent Document 1). In the system of Patent Document 1, when making a reservation for a parking lot, when a reservation is to be made in the vicinity of a time zone where a reservation is actually made, a large amount of data accumulated in the parking lot Refer to and set the extra time so that duplication of reservation can be avoided, and registration of reservation is done.

  According to the parking reservation system in Patent Document 1, this spare time is made as short as possible in order to improve the utilization factor of the parking lot. Therefore, in the parking reservation system, the utilization rate can be increased as much as possible according to the circumstances of the parking lot. On the other hand, since the above allowance time is obtained with reference to a large amount of data accumulated in the parking lot, the establishment of an accident such as the user's overtime is extremely low.

  In the above parking reservation system, when a reservation is made by a user, a non-reserved user other than the reserved user is established by setting up a flap installed in the parking space for which the reservation has been made a predetermined time before the reserved time. Will not be able to park.

  On the other hand, in the above parking reservation system, non-reserved users other than reserved users can be parked if there is a vacant parking space. Whether or not the parking space can be parked can be determined by checking the display plate in the parking lot or checking whether the flap of the parking space is erected or stored.

Patent No. 5984076

  By the way, in recent years, it has become common for users to make reservations for parking lots using portable terminals such as smartphones. Also, depending on the user, not only people who make reservations in advance with time allowance, but also users who make reservations just before the time they want to park.

  In the parking reservation system described in Patent Document 1 above, when there is a user who performs a reservation operation immediately before the time when parking is desired, when the desired reservation time is input, the parking lot designated by the user It is determined whether or not a reservation is possible at the reservation available time. When the reservation of the time is established by the parking reservation system, the system operates the flap of the corresponding parking space to stand up.

  However, even if it is judged that the reservation is possible when there is a request for reservation by the user, it takes time for the user's reservation procedure thereafter, and the actual reservation is made from the time when the request was made. There is a possibility that a time lag may occur before the finalization.

  If, during this time lag, a non-reserved user actually tries to park a car in the parking space, parking is possible because the reservation has not been decided at that time. Then, the user who made the reservation has a disadvantage that the reservation becomes impossible when the actual reservation is decided.

  The present invention aims at the improvement of a parking reservation system, and more specifically, when the last user made a reservation by using a user, giving priority to the user and causing a batting with a non-reserved user. The purpose is to provide a parking reservation system that can make a reservation without.

  In order to achieve the above object, a parking reservation system according to an aspect of the present invention is a parking reservation system for a parking lot that manages parking reservations in a parking area having a plurality of parking spaces, wherein the plurality of parking spaces are A first parking space for at least one reservation for which reservation by the reservation user is set and also for use by non-reservation users is enabled, and the first for the reservation in which the reservation for the reservation user is set And at least one spare second parking space to be used by the reservation user in place of the first parking space for the reservation when the parking space is used by the non-reservation user; An entrance restriction device that controls whether or not to enter the vehicle, a vehicle identification device that identifies the parking space or a vehicle approaching the parking area, and parking from the reservation user A parking management unit for processing a reservation, wherein the entrance restriction device holds a parking enable display unit for displaying a parking possibility or a parking non-permission while being held on the restriction side, and the parking enable display unit is capable of parking And a restriction release unit that allows the non-reserved user to release the state held by the restriction side of the entry restriction device when displaying, and the reservation management device relates to a registered vehicle registered in advance. With reference to the registration information database storing information and the reservation information database storing the reservation status of the parking space, when there is an application acceptance of a parking reservation from a prospective user who is about to make a reservation, the application acceptance Until the completion of the reservation, the non-parkable display section of the entry limiting device of at least one of the entry limiting devices held on the limiting side is displayed as non-parking available. The features.

  According to the present invention, when there is an acceptance of a reservation application from a prospective user who intends to make a reservation from now on, at least one of the entry restriction devices held by the restriction side is restricted from the application acceptance to the completion of the reservation. Display the parkable indicator of the device as not parkingable. Thereby, even if the non-reserved user enters the parking area while the prospective user is selecting the first parking space, the first parking with the entry limiting device in which the parking available display portion is displayed as not parkable Space is reserved for prospective users without being used by non-reserved users.

  For this reason, the prospective user can take time to select slowly and reserve the first parking space. In addition, even if there is only one remaining first parking space in the parking area that the prospective user intends to use, the prospective user reserves the remaining first parking space in preference to the non-reserved user. be able to. In this way, even when the last reservation is made by the prospective user, it is possible to reserve a parking space without batting with non-reserved users.

If in the present invention, the reservation management unit, when there is the application accepted, that the period from the interval minimum value only before the time for taking a margin from the reservation start time until the reservation start time, includes current Alternatively, during the period from the acceptance of the application to the completion of the reservation, the parking enable display portion of at least one of the entry limiting devices of the entry limiting devices held on the limiting side may be displayed to indicate that parking is not possible.

The reservation management device prohibits the parking available display unit of the entry limiting device from being parked when the current time is included in the period from the time before the reservation start time by the interval minimum value for obtaining a margin from the reservation start time. Since the display is performed, the first parking space for reservation is efficiently used without displaying the parking enable display portion of the entry limiting device in vainly, for example, when the reservation start time is large from the current time, etc. Can.

  In the present invention, in the parking space not in use, all the access limiting devices may be held on the limiting side. If the entry restriction device is temporarily held on the restriction side after the reservation is completed, the parking available display portion of the entry restriction device is displayed as parking prohibited between the reception acceptance of the parking reservation application for the prospective user and the reservation completion. There is a risk that non-reserved users may enter the parking space by themselves. In this respect, in the present invention, since all the access restriction devices are held on the restriction side, it is ensured that the non-reservation user's parking space is received from the acceptance acceptance of the parking reservation application of the prospective user to the reservation completion. It is possible to prevent entry and give priority to the prospective user and reserve a parking space without batting with non-reserved users.

  In the present invention, the access restriction device of the spare second parking space can be parked only when the reservation user allocated by the reservation management device uses the spare second parking space. The display unit may be displayed for parking. Only when the reservation user allocated by the reservation management device uses the spare second parking space, the second parking space can be made available only to the reservation user by displaying the parking available display portion as parking enableable. It is possible to make the reserved user use the parking space prior to the non-reserved user.

  In the present invention, the parkable display unit may display whether or not parking is possible with at least one of a color, a symbol or a character. Indicating that the parking space is reserved to a non-reservation user approaching the parking area or parking space by displaying the parkable display portion in at least one of a color, a symbol or a character it can.

  In the present invention, the reservation management device indicates that there is a vehicle approaching the parking space or the parking area between the acceptance acceptance of the parking reservation application for the prospective user who is about to make a reservation and the completion of the reservation. You may provide the notification part which notifies the said prospective user. Since the prospective user can know that there is a vehicle approaching the parking space or the parking area by the notification unit during the parking reservation application, the prospective user can be used as a decision material for the usage decision.

  In the present invention, the reservation management device may be capable of making a reservation from the portable terminal of the prospective user. The prospective user can make a parking reservation from anywhere regardless of the location by making a reservation from the mobile terminal.

  In the present invention, the restriction release unit may include a release switch operable by the non-reserved user. Since the restriction release unit is equipped with a release switch, even when the non-reservation user does not possess a portable terminal such as a smartphone, the state held by the restriction side of the entry restriction device is released and the parking space is released. Can be used.

  In the present invention, the restriction release unit may be provided with an individual code portion which is allocated to each of the parking spaces and which can be recognized by the non-reserved user by a portable terminal. Since the restriction release unit is provided with the individual code unit, for example, the individual code unit is read as a QR code (registered trademark) by the portable terminal, and the display for releasing the on the portable terminal is made, thereby entering the hand without staining The parking space can be used by releasing the state held on the restriction side of the restriction device.

  According to the present invention, even if the user who made the scheduled use made a reservation immediately before, it is possible to prioritize the user who made the scheduled use and reserve the parking space without causing batting with the non-reserved user. it can.

  The member registration information includes, for example, information related to the attribute of the reservation user such as name, age, sex, driving history, occupation and color of driver's license (gold, blue) of the reservation user, and vehicle registration number Be The reservation setting request transmitted from the user terminals U1 to U3 to the reservation management server device 40 is handled as information related to the attribute of the reservation user, including the purpose of use such as business use, private use, dinner, meeting, etc. May be

  The server device 40 (specifically, the control unit) sets the reserve number R and the interval minimum value Q as parking resources of the parking lot PA, and parks in response to a reservation setting request from the user terminals U1 to U3. Make space reservation settings.

  In addition, the server device 40 sets the reserve number R and the interval minimum value Q using the use behavior relation information J acquired from the information server device 70 in parking resource adjustment processing S200 described later.

  Here, the usage behavior relationship information J is information indicating an event that affects the usage behavior of the parking lot PA by at least one of the reservation user and the non-reservation user. For example, the usage behavior-related information J includes events such as the weather in the area where the parking lot PA is located, the date and time, and events near the parking lot PA.

  In the storage unit of the server device 40, the usage behavior relation information J (weather, date and time and event), the reserve number set value Rs to be set as the reserve number R, and the interval minimum value set value Qs to be set as the interval minimum value Q Relationship information K indicating the relationship of is stored. The details of the relationship information K are described in the specification of our patent US Pat. No. 5,984,076.

  The server device 40 sets the spare number setting value Rs and the interval minimum value setting value Qs specified by applying the usage behavior relationship information J (weather information, date and time information and event information) to the relationship information K Dynamically set as the minimum value Q.

  The server device 40 assigns a part of the plurality of parking spaces S1 to S10 of the parking lot PA to the first parking space for reservation and the other part to the second parking space for backup based on the set spare number R. It allocates and transmits the information which concerns on these allocations to the control apparatus 20. FIG. The control device 20 displays the non-parking possible display portions L1 to L10 of the entry limiting devices B1 to B10 according to the information, and secures the second parking spaces for the number of spares indicated by the number of spares R.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, the server device 40 periodically (for example, every hour) transmits information related to the assignment to the control device 20. The control device 20 secures the second parking space for backup at the timing when the information is received, and waits for the parking space to become available when securing the second parking space for backup is not possible at that timing. Alternatively, when the server device 40 updates the spare number setting value Rs related to the current time, the server device 40 transmits the information related to the assignment to the control device 20 at the update timing.

  In addition, the server device 40 has an interval between a reservation period related to a reservation already set in the first parking space for reservation and a reservation period related to the reservation newly set in the first parking space for this reservation. Set a new reservation so as not to be smaller than the minimum value Q. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the interval minimum value Q is set to one hour.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit of the server device 40 functions as various functional units such as a spare number setting unit, an interval minimum value setting unit, a reservation setting unit, an allowance period setting unit, and a relationship information updating unit. The storage unit of the server device 40 functions as various storage units such as a relationship information storage unit and an action information storage unit.

  Next, as a basic control method of the control unit 30, a control method of the control unit 30 in a state where there is no scheduled user from the acceptance of the application to the completion of the reservation (a state where the application is not being received) will be described.

  When the reservation user arrives at the parking lot PA, the control unit 30 executes a user guidance process S100 shown in FIG. In the user guidance process S100, when the reservation user arrives, the control unit 30 uses the reservation for the first parking space for reservation if the first parking space for reservation for which the reservation is set is vacant. The user is guided and the reservation user is guided to the spare second parking space which is vacant if the first parking space for this reservation is not vacant. Further, when the non-reserved user arrives, the control unit 30 guides the non-reserved user to the first reserved parking space for reservation.

  Specifically, in the user guidance process S100, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the reservation user has arrived (S110). That is, when vehicle M stops at entrance IN, control unit 30 images the license plate of vehicle M with camera 27 to acquire the vehicle registration number of vehicle M, and a reservation corresponding to the acquired vehicle registration number is The registration information database and reservation information database (not shown) of the reservation management server device 40 are inquired as to whether or not it is set.

  Then, when there is a response from the reservation management server device 40 to the effect that the reservation corresponding to the vehicle registration number is set, the control unit 30 assumes that the reservation user has arrived (Y in S110), and makes a reservation for the reservation user If the first parking space for reservation for which reservation has been set is vacant (Y in S120), the parkable display portion of the access limiting device in the first parking space for that reservation is displayed as a parking enablement and the access restriction The restriction on the device is released to guide the reservation user (S130).

  At this time, when the reserved first parking space is S5 in FIG. 2, the control unit 30 blinks the "o" lamp in the "green" of the parking available display portion L5 of the parking space S5 to make a reservation user To the parking space S5. When the vehicle M of the reservation user approaches the parking space S5 and the approach of the vehicle M is detected by the camera D5 provided on the pole P5, the control unit 30 changes the entrance limiting device B5 from the standing state to the stored state. Migrate.

  As described above, when the entrance restriction device B5 is in the storage state, the vehicle M can enter the parking space S5, and the reservation user can park the vehicle M as reserved.

  On the other hand, if the first parking space for reservation in which the reservation by the reservation user is set is not currently available (N in S120), control unit 30 restricts the entry restriction in the second parking space for spare. In addition to making the parking possible display section of the device display parking possible, the restriction of the entry restriction device is released to guide the reservation user (S140).

  Also, when there is a response from the reservation management server device 40 to the effect that a reservation corresponding to the vehicle registration number is not set, the control unit 30 determines that a non-reserved user has arrived (N in S110). While displaying the parking possible display part of the entrance restriction device of the first parking space for reservation being parkable, the restriction of the entrance restriction device is released to guide the non-reservation user (S150). In addition, when there is no first reserved parking space for reservation, the non-reserved user is notified that there is no space in the parking space, and the user is prompted to pass through the parking lot PA and move to another place.

  Next, the parking resource adjustment process S200 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. The server device 40 executes the parking resource adjustment process S200 periodically (for example, every hour).

  In the parking resource adjustment process S200, first, the server device 40 requests the information server device 70 for the use behavior related information J (S210). The use behavior relation information J is transmitted from the information server device 70 in response to the request of the server device 40, and the server machine 40 acquires the weather information, the date and time information and the event information included in the use behavior relation information J (S220- S240).

  The server device 40 sets the spare number R and the interval minimum value Q using the weather information, the date and time information and the event information (S250, S260). Specifically, the server device 40 reserves the spare number set value Rs and the interval minimum value set value Qs specified by applying weather information, date and time information and event information to the relationship information K stored in the storage unit. Set as number R and interval minimum value Q.

  Next, basic control of the reservation setting process S300 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the reservation setting process S300, when there is a reservation setting request from any of the user terminals U1 to U3 (S310), the server device 40 can use the first reservation request available in the reservation request period indicated by the reservation setting request. It is determined whether there is a parking space (S320).

  Specifically, the server device 40 confirms the reservation setting information stored in the storage unit, and the above-mentioned interval minimum value before and after the reservation period related to the reservation already set in the first parking space for each reservation A period in which Q is added (ie, a period in which a margin is provided before and after the reservation period) is made unavailable, and other periods are made available. Then, the server device 40 confirms whether or not the reservation request period can be applied to this available period.

  When there is a first parking space for reservation available (Y in S320), the server device 40 sets a new reservation period corresponding to the reservation request period in the first parking space for reservation (S330). ), Notifies reservation OK to the user terminal that has made the reservation setting request (S340).

  On the other hand, when there is no available first parking space for reservation (N in S320), the server device 40 does not set a new reservation period, and makes a reservation to the user terminal that has made a reservation setting request. The NG is notified (S350).

  Next, an example of the operation of the user terminal when the prospective user intends to make a reservation and accepts an application will be described.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9F, the case where the user terminal is a smart phone having an information display unit and a touch panel 50 will be described as an example. The registration information is the user's name, address, telephone number, vehicle number of the own vehicle (registered vehicle), etc., and is registered in the registration information database.

  When a prospective user makes a reservation for the A parking lot in the time zone from 17:00 to 20:00 on Y, M, D, the user terminal U1 accesses the reservation HP, and as shown in FIG. Call screen 51. The reservation screen 51 includes a parking lot search button 51a and a history search button 51b.

  When the parking lot search button 51a is pressed, a parking lot search screen 52 shown in FIG. 9 (B) is displayed. In the parking lot search screen 52, a keyword input box 52a for inputting an address and a keyword, a date input box 52b for inputting a date, and a time input unit 52c for specifying a time zone for making a reservation for a parking lot are displayed. In the keyword input frame 52a, a facility that the user wants to use, for example, a facility name such as a station or a cinema, an address or the like is input.

  The date input frame 52b may be directly input from a soft keyboard (not shown), and a desired date is tapped on the calendar display (a finger or touch operation pen is touched for a relatively short period of time) to enter a date. You may

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the input of the time zone is swiping the finger along the time input portion 52c which is a bar display indicating the time zone (a finger is brought into contact with the surface of the screen and slipped in one direction). It can be input by releasing it from the screen surface. When the time input unit 52c is touched with a finger, a time display is displayed above the time input unit 52c. When the time display is the desired time, swipe your finger along the time input unit 52c, the time display appears near the position of the finger according to the movement of the finger, and the time is changed according to the movement of the swipe Therefore, you can enter the desired time zone by releasing your finger from the bar display at the desired time.

  After the user inputs a keyword and a desired time zone on the parking lot search screen 52, when the search button 52d is tapped, a search result display screen shown in FIG. 9C or 9D is displayed. FIG. 9 (C) shows a search result screen 54 for map display, and FIG. 9 (D) shows a search result screen 55 for list display.

  In the search result screen 54 shown in FIG. 9C, the icon 54a of the parking lot A recommended for the prospective user is highlighted. The search result screen 54 of the map display allows the prospective user to grasp the position of the parking lot near the destination.

  A prospective user taps the list display button 54b of the search result screen 54 when he wants to compare and search the charge etc. of each parking lot. Then, a search result screen 55 in a list display format shown in FIG. 9D is displayed. In the search result screen 55, a charge order button 55a for displaying each parking lot in order of charge, a distance order button 55b for display in order of distance from the destination, and a map display button 55c for shifting to a map display screen are provided.

  On the search result screen 55, a photograph showing the state of each parking lot, the name of the parking lot, and the charge per hour are displayed. The parking lot other than the parking lot A and the parking lot B shown in FIG. 9D can be displayed on the screen by swiping the screen upward.

  When the desired parking lot is found, the prospective user taps a portion showing the desired parking lot, for example, a picture of the desired parking lot or the name of the parking lot, on the screen of the search result screen 54 or 55. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the server device 40 receives an application for reservation of a parking lot to be used with this tap.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9E, information of the selected parking lot is displayed on the screen of the user terminal U1. In this reservation status confirmation screen 56, it is possible to confirm the reservation status of a plurality of parking spaces of Y year, M, M and D on A parking lot.

  In the reservation status confirmation screen 56 in FIG. 9E, the parking spaces A and 03 can not be reserved because parking spaces 01 and 03 have reservations for other vehicles between 17 o'clock and 20 o'clock, but parking space 02 and 04 is open from 17 o'clock to 20 o'clock.

  Then, when the prospective user taps the time display bar 56 (02) of the parking space 02 of the reservation status confirmation screen 56, the reservation confirmation screen 57 of FIG. 9 (F) is displayed on the screen of the user terminal U1. In the reservation confirmation screen 57, the photograph 57a of the parking lot A, which is the parking lot that you want to reserve, the information of the vehicle restriction 57b indicating the parking possible conditions, the time slot 57 (02) using the parking lot, and this slot A parking charge display 57c is displayed when parking is performed at 57 (02).

  If the prospective user wants to reserve a parking lot under the conditions displayed on the reservation confirmation screen 57, he taps the OK button 57d. When it is desired to change the condition etc., the return button 57e is pressed to return to the original screen and the setting of the condition can be performed again. Parking reservation of the time zone from 17:00 to 20:00 of the parking space 02 of A parking lot is completed by the above operation. In this manner, by tapping the OK button 57d, a reservation setting request is transmitted and the reservation is completed.

  In addition, the notification unit 58 notifies the user terminal that the vehicle has entered the parking lot selected to be reserved during screen display of FIG. 9 (E) and FIG. 9 (F) after receiving the application. Is provided. This notification unit 58 is scheduled to use that there is a vehicle of a non-reservation user approaching the parking space or the parking area between the reception acceptance of the parking reservation application for the prospective user who is about to make a reservation and the completion of the reservation. It is an indication to inform the person.

  The recognition of the vehicle of the non-reserved user is performed by imaging the license plate of the vehicle with at least one of the vehicle identification device (camera) 27 and the individual vehicle identification devices (cameras) D1 to D10, and managing the imaged number This is performed by transmitting to the device server 40 and collating with the reservation information database.

  Here, a non-reservation user enters the parking lot which is going to make a reservation, while a reserved person taps back button 57e and is looking back to another screen or while looking at the reservation status confirmation screen 56. Sometimes. In this case, in the conventional parking reservation system, non-reserved users parked in the parking space prior to the completion of the reservation by the prospective user, and the prospective user uses the reservation even though the prospective user accepts the reservation application There is a risk that the planner can not make a reservation.

  However, in the present invention, the scheduled user is prioritized over the non-reserved user by the control unit 30 performing the control described below.

  As a control method of the present invention, a server device 40 in consideration of a case where a non-reserved user enters the parking lot PA during a period from the time the planned user accepts the application to the completion of the reservation (the state where the application is received). The control of the reservation setting process S400 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In the reservation setting process S400, when the server apparatus 40 receives an application for reservation of the parking lot PA from the user terminal of the prospective user (S410), the time before the interval minimum value for taking a margin from the approximately start time It is determined whether or not the current time is included in the period from the time until the reservation start time (S420).

If the current time is included in the period from the time before the reservation start time by the interval minimum value for taking a margin from about the start time to the reservation start time (Y in S420), there is a first parking space available for reservation at the current time It is determined whether or not (S430). Specifically, the server device 40 communicates with the parking management device 10 of the parking lot PA to determine whether there is a first parking space for reservation available at the present time and the desired reservation time.

  Here, if there is an available first parking space for reservation (Y in S430), the parking enable display part of the entry limiting device in the first parking space for one of the reservations is displayed as not parkingable (S440) .

  Then, when there is a reservation setting request including reservation time from the user terminal (Y in S450), the server device 40 sets the first parking space to the non-parking disabled state of the parking available display unit of the entry limiting device. A new reservation period corresponding to the reservation request period is set (S460), and reservation OK is notified to the user terminal that has accepted the application (S470).

  On the other hand, when there is no available first parking space for reservation (N in S430), server device 40 does not set a new reservation period, and does not set a reservation NG for the user terminal that has accepted the application. It notifies (S480). In addition, the server device 40 causes the user terminal to display a reselection screen for selecting whether to return the reservation period or to cancel the acceptance of the application before the reservation setting request in S410 (S480).

  The server device 40 returns the process before accepting the reservation application (S410) if the prospective user reselects the reservation period (Y at S480), and cancels the application acceptance at the prospective user (N at S480) In step S490, the parking management device 10 is communicated with the parking management device 10, and the parking enable display unit displayed in step S440 is displayed so as not to be parked (step S490).
