Under the smartphone payment method that has been put into practical use, users who want to settle parking fees on their smartphones conclude a usage contract with a smartphone payment operating company in advance. The usage contract provides the user's name, address, telephone number, my number, credit, bank card, and other personal information in the form of membership registration with a smartphone payment operating company.
The smartphone payment operating company separately concludes a contract regarding smartphone payment with the owner of the parking lot, installs the equipment necessary for smartphone payment, and pays the parking fee that the user approves to pay by credit card etc. by smartphone payment. The business of withdrawing from a credit card or bank card and depositing it into the parking lot owner's personal account is outsourced to a financial institution such as a credit company or a bank.

To settle the parking fee, the user specifies the management number of the parking lot used or the parking lot displayed on the smartphone with the dedicated application on the smartphone, and enters the parking lot number while parking, and the smartphone payment management company You can start by asking for payment. At the smartphone payment operating company, the information processing device that performs smartphone payment communicates with the payment machine in the parking lot where the user is parked, and receives notification of parking time, warehousing time, payment time, and parking fee from the payment machine. Then, the information such as the parking fee is transferred and displayed on the application on the user's smartphone, and the user is requested to approve the payment of the parking fee by the registered credit card or bank card.

Then, if the user approves the smartphone payment, the parking fee will be deducted and the amount after deducting the fee paid to the smartphone payment operating company will be transferred to the parking lot owner's account. The actual withdrawal and transfer will be done by a financial institution such as a credit card company or a bank that has a contract with a smartphone payment operating company. In such a smartphone payment system, it is necessary to equip the parking lot settlement machine with a terminal device capable of communicating with the information processing device of the smartphone payment operating company and exchanging data.
In addition, the smartphone payment operating company needs to separately conclude a contract with a credit card company or a financial institution such as a bank regarding the payment of parking fees and fees in order to operate this system.

As described above, the smartphone payment method as described in the prior art is used by the information processing device of the smartphone payment operating company by communicating with the payment machine to acquire information such as the parking time of the smartphone payment user in the parking lot. After transferring the parking fee and other related information to the person on the smartphone and obtaining approval for credit payment, etc., the credit company will be deducted the parking fee from the account between the registered financial machines of the user, and the parking lot owner's account. Arrange for the transfer of parking fees to and the transfer of fees to the smartphone payment management company. At the same time, the payment machine in the parking lot is made to communicate with the information processing device of the smartphone payment operating company to lower the flap of the passenger compartment in which the user is parked.

The conventional system for smartphone payments in individual parking lots is as described above, but the information processing device of the smartphone payment management company provides information such as parking time, parking fee calculation, and parked cabin. Do not hold.

On the other hand, in the gate-type parking lot targeted by the present invention, the user receives a parking ticket whose entry time is recorded by a ticket issuing machine at the time of entry, and inserts it into the parking ticket insertion slot of the checkout machine in front of the exit gate at the time of exit. As a result, the checkout machine reads the admission time recorded on the parking ticket, calculates the parking time based on the difference from the current time, calculates the parking fee from the fee system, and displays the parking fee on the front of the checkout machine. ing. That is, in order to settle the parking fee, it is an absolute condition that the settlement machine can read the admission time recorded on the parking ticket.

On the other hand, regarding a method of performing cashless payment in order to eliminate the troublesomeness of cash payment in a gate-type parking lot, Patent Documents 1 to 4 use a card that can identify a user to enter the parking lot. It describes how to read the card when leaving and make a cashless payment of the parking fee. With this method, it is necessary to equip the ticket issuing machine and the payment machine with a personal card reader, so there are problems such as the need to modify the payment machine based on cash payment, and basically the parking lot. It is the same as a conventional parking lot in that the payment machine or parking lot management device manages the entrance / exit time and the parking fee is settled.

In the present invention, in a gate-type parking lot where issuance of a parking ticket or reading of an individual card is a basic condition, cashless payment (smartphone payment) that does not require issuance of a parking ticket or reading of an individual card can be performed. The purpose is to provide a system for parking.

In the present invention, in order to settle a parking fee on a smartphone in a gated parking lot, the user concludes a user contract with a smartphone payment operating company in advance, and uses a dedicated smartphone application provided by the smartphone payment operating company. Downloads and uses the app to enter the parking lot, settle the parking fee, and exit.

The smartphone payment management company contracts with a credit company or a financial institution such as a bank, and makes a business contract regarding the transfer of parking fees and fees between users, parking lot owners, and smartphone payment management companies, and makes credit payments. Entrust the business.

Furthermore, the smartphone payment operating company has installed an information processing device and a remote gate opening / closing control device for the operation of this system, and provides the user information received from the user through the smartphone, the parking lot used, and the reception time at the time of admission. To have a parking fee settlement function that calculates parking fees from the parking fee system for each parking lot and a database device that stores related data, based on the time information that uses the basic entry time and the basic exit time as the basic exit time. The system was configured in (claim 1).

In the present invention, at the entrance / exit gate of the parking lot, a two-dimensional code indicating the attributes of the parking lot or a bar code attribute sign is displayed in front of or around the ticket issuing machine and the payment machine, and the user can enter the parking lot at the time of admission. After sending the registration ID and password to the server of the smartphone payment operating company with a dedicated application, the smartphone operating company can take a picture of the attribute sign and send it to the server of the smartphone payment operating company, so that the smartphone operating company can enter the user, parking lot, and entrance. After memorizing the time, opening the entrance gate of the parking lot remotely, completing the electronic payment of the parking fee in advance at the time of exit, the attribute sign for the exit displayed in front of or around the checkout machine at the exit gate. By transmitting the photographed image to the server of the smartphone payment company, the exit gate can be opened and closed remotely (claim 2).

In the smartphone payment method of the present invention, as the entrance time for reimbursing the parking fee, the registered user takes an image of the attribute sign for the entrance of the parking lot taken at the entrance of the parking lot using the dedicated application. Then, the image is sent to the server of the smartphone payment management company, the time when the entrance gate is opened remotely is used as the basic entry time, and the exit time for calculating the parking time is set before the registered user goes to the exit gate. In advance, use the dedicated app to start the dedicated smartphone payment app in a parking lot other than the exit gate that does not interfere with the movement of other vehicles, select the payment menu of the app, and request the smartphone payment management company to execute payment. Then, the time when the parking fee is settled is set as the basic exit time, and the time obtained by subtracting the basic time for entering the parking lot from the basic time for leaving the parking lot and adding or subtracting the adjustment time separately determined is set as the parking time for parking the parking lot. We decided to calculate the parking fee based on the fee system. (Claim 3).

The dedicated application for smartphone payment of the present invention starts the parking fee settlement process by sending the ID and password registered by the registered user to the server of the smartphone payment operating company, and enters the parking lot and the parking fee. There are at least three processes for payment and exit from the parking lot, and the process at the time of entry is to take a picture of the attribute sign for the entrance of the parking lot and display the image on the server of the smartphone payment operating company. When instructed to send, the time when the server receives the same image is set as the basic entrance time, and when the entrance gate is opened remotely and the parking is finished and the exit is completed, the registered user has the registered ID and password. After sending, select the settlement process, and when you send the selection of the settlement process to the server of the smartphone payment operating company, that time will be the basic exit time, and the parking lot will be based on the basic entry time and the basic exit time. The parking time is calculated by adjusting the adjustment time set for each, the parking fee is calculated based on the parking lot fee system, displayed on the dedicated application, and the registered user is requested to approve the smartphone payment, and the registered user When the approval signal is sent to the server of the smartphone payment operating company, the parking fee is electronically settled, and it is instructed to go straight to the exit, take a picture of the attribute sign of the parking lot dedicated to the exit, and send the image. When arriving in front of the exit gate, the attribute sign for the exit was photographed and the image was sent to the server of the smartphone payment operating company so that the exit gate could be opened remotely and the parking lot could be exited (claim). 4).

When entering or exiting the parking lot using a dedicated application, in the present invention, after entering using a ticketing machine in the usual manner, the smartphone operating company returns to the entrance and photographs the attribute display for the entrance. In order to prevent fraud such as notifying the entrance to the parking lot, the parking lot gate opening / closing control device of the present invention operates only when the vehicle detection sensor detects that the vehicle is actually stopped at the entrance and the exit. (Claim 5).

In the present invention, when a registered user inputs an ID and password registered with the dedicated application at the parking lot entrance and then sends an image showing the attributes of the parking lot to the server of the smartphone operating company, the GPS of the smartphone is used. By transmitting the information at the same time, it is possible to confirm that the registered user is surely at the entrance / exit of the parking lot at that time (Claim 6).

When the vehicle for which the parking fee has been settled arrives in front of the exit gate, the two-dimensional code indicating the attribute of the parking lot displayed on the front of the checkout machine or the bar code attribute sign is photographed and the smartphone payment operating company By sending to the server of the parking lot, the information processing device of the smartphone payment operating company checks the sender and opens the exit gate when it is confirmed that the settlement has already been completed.
