<Operation>
(1) Integration Processing of Usage History Information Hereinafter, integration processing of usage history information by the parking lot usage management system will be described.
FIG. 14 is a sequence chart showing a flow of operations up to generation of history integrated information by the parking lot usage management system in the embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the operation of the parking lot utilization management system will be described along the figure.

First, after the user parks the electric vehicle in the parking space, the user brings the ID card closer to the operation unit 36 of the parking device 30A, etc., and the authentication information (user ID, password) written in the ID card. Are read and input (step S101).
The parking device 30A transmits the read authentication information to the storage device 10 (step S102).

When the storage device 10 receives the authentication information from the parking device 30A, the storage device 10 performs an authentication process (step S103).
In the authentication process, for example, the control unit 11 of the storage device 10 collates the received authentication information (user ID and password) with the combination of the user ID and password managed by the user DB 131. To be done. At this time, it is determined that the authentication is successful if the combination of the user ID and the password is identical, and that the authentication is not successful if the combination is not.
The storage device 10 transmits the authentication result to the parking device 30A (step S104).

When receiving the authentication result from the storage device 10, the parking device 30A determines whether the received authentication result is a success (Step S105).
If the authentication result is a failure (step S105 / No), the process ends as it is and the user is not permitted to park.
On the other hand, if the authentication result is successful (step S105 / Yes), the control unit 31 of the parking device 30A starts counting the parking time of the user, and writes the start time to the usage history DB 324 (step S106).
At this time, the corresponding user ID and the parking space are written in association with the parking start time, but the same applies when writing the start (end) time of the parking (charging) in the usage history DB 324 It is assumed that the user ID and the parking space are written in association with each other.

Next, the control unit 31 causes the display unit 37 to display a selection screen for allowing the user to select whether to use the charging service at the time of parking (step S107).
For example, on the selection screen, a “Yes” button and a “No button” are arranged for the start of use of the charging service, and the user is configured to be selectable using the operation unit 36.
Here, when the use of the charging service is not selected (step S108 / No), the process of step S112 is performed (described later).

  On the other hand, when the start of use of the charging service is selected (step S108 / Yes), the charging unit 35 starts charging the electric vehicle of the user, and the control unit 31 starts measuring the charging time, The start time is written to the usage history DB 324 (step S109).

Thereafter, when the charging is completed while the vehicle is parked (step S110 / Yes), the control unit 31 ends the counting of the charging time, and writes the end time to the usage history DB 324 (step S111).
And control part 31 ends clocking of parking time, and writes the end time into use history DB 324 (Step S113).

  After charging is started (step S109), in a state where charging is not completed (step S110 / No), the user returns to the parking space in order to cause the electric vehicle to leave, and again using authentication unit 36, authentication information When the information to the effect of ending the use of the parking lot is input by inputting the (step S114 / Yes), the control unit 31 stops the charging before the completion and ends the counting of the parking time and the charging time, The end time of those is written in utilization history DB 324 (step S115).

  After the parking time is measured (step S113 or S115), the parking device 30A transmits usage history information including the parking time and the charging time written in the usage history DB 324 to the storage device 10 (step S116).

When the storage device 10 receives the usage history information from the parking device 30A, the storage device 10 stores the usage history information in the usage history DB 134.
Next, based on the stored usage history information, the control unit 11 of the delivery apparatus 10 updates the information on the usage status of the parking lot managed in the parking lot DB 132 (step S116).
Here, in the parking lot DB 132, for example, it is written that the electric vehicle of the vehicle ID "10055" of the user ID "0006" is parked in the parking space "2" of each parking device 30A, and updated. .
As described above, when the storage device 10 receives the usage history information from the parking devices 30A, 30B, 30C, ..., the information on the usage status of each parking lot managed in the parking lot DB 132 is updated.

  Next, the storage device 10 extracts the same user from usage history information managed by the usage history DB 134, integrates these, generates history integration information for each user, and outputs it to the history integration DB 135. It stores (step S117).

Thereafter, at a predetermined time, the storage device 10 transmits the history integrated information managed in the history integrated DB 135 to the management server 20, and the management server 20 stores the history integrated information in the history integrated DB 225 and manages Do.
The management server 20 generates accounting information for each user based on the calculation criteria stored in the accounting standard DB 226 using the history integration information managed in the history integration DB 225, and writes the accounting information in the accounting DB 227.
Then, the administrator accesses the management server 20 via the network 100 using a terminal (not shown), refers to the charging information in the charging DB 227, and according to the contents of the referred charging information, the user Charge the sum of the charge for multiple parking lots against
In this way, the management business operator can easily perform the complicated operation of asking the operating charge of the parking lot of each parking apparatus 30A, 30B, 30C, ... for the charge amount of the usage fee. It becomes possible to grasp the use situation by the user and to charge the use fee.

In the case where a plurality of vehicle IDs are associated with the same user in the user DB 131, that is, when a plurality of vehicles are held, the storage device 10 performs the plurality of the above-described operations after the authentication is successfully completed. The vehicle ID is extracted, and information indicating the vehicle types and the like of a plurality of vehicles owned by the user corresponding to the vehicle ID is transmitted to the parking device 30A.
When the parking device 30A receives information indicating the vehicle types and the like of the plurality of vehicles owned by the user, the parking device 30A displays the information on the display unit 37.
The user uses the operation unit 36 to select one corresponding to the vehicle to be parked this time from the plurality of vehicle type names and the like, and the parking device 30A transmits information such as the selected vehicle type to the storage device 10.
When the storage device 10 receives information on the selected vehicle type and the like from the parking device 30A, the storage device 10 calculates the usage fee of the parking lot based on the received information on the vehicle type.

(2) Confirmation process of the use situation As described in the process of step S116, the storage device 10 receives the use history information from the parking devices 30A, 30B, 30C, ..., and then uses the received use history information as the use history. While storing in DB134, updating of parking lot DB132 is performed based on the utilization history information.
