As shown in FIG. 3, the DSRC system is a bidirectional wireless communication system for a narrow range (several meters to several tens of meters) between a roadside unit and an on-board unit, and is bidirectional between a vehicle and a road. Enables the exchange of information.

FIG. 4 is a state near the entrance of the parking lot and a schematic configuration diagram of the parking lot management device in this embodiment. In FIG. 4, a gate switch 31 and a parking ticket issuing machine 32 are installed at the entrance of the parking lot, and a QR code 20 in which the URL of the management center permitting entry into the parking lot is described is a vehicle. It is installed, for example, in the form of a signboard at a position where it can be photographed from the vehicle-mounted camera 11 of the vehicle. In addition, a facility camera 33 is installed to photograph the license plate of the vehicle entering the parking lot. The parking lot management device 40 includes a control device 41, a network communication module 42 that connects to a network such as the Internet, and a DSRC communication module 43. The network communication module 42 and the DSRC communication module 43 are connected to an external management center (not shown) via a network.

FIG. 5 shows a processing flow of the vehicle parking lot guidance system in this embodiment. In FIG. 5, first, when the vehicle arrives at the parking lot entrance gate, in step S11, the parking lot management device 40 controls the gate switch 31 and the ticket issuing machine 32 in cooperation with the management center, and parks from the ticket issuing machine 32. A ticket is issued and the gate switch 31 is unlocked. Then, in step S12, the facility camera 33 photographs the license plate of the vehicle entering the parking lot and transmits the data to the management center. In step S13, the management center links the parking ticket number (ID number) with the vehicle number.

Further, in step S14, the information processing device 10 mounted on the vehicle captures the QR code 20 with the vehicle-mounted camera outside the vehicle, and converts it to the URL of the management center obtained from the QR code with the QR code / URL conversion device 12. Vehicle information such as a vehicle number and characteristics of the driver or passenger (pregnant women, infants, persons with disabilities, etc.) are transmitted via the network communication module 14. In addition to the method of reading the QR code with a camera, a DSRC type communication system is used, and the DSRC type communication module 15 of the information processing device 10 and the DSRC type communication module 43 of the parking lot management device 40 are used to connect the vehicle to the management center. Information and information such as the characteristics of the driver or passengers may be transmitted.

In step S15, the management center links the vehicle number, the ID number, the characteristic information of the driver or the passenger, and further links the size of the vehicle from the number information.

FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the ID number of the parking ticket and the link information in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the link information linked to the ID number includes number information, driver information, passenger information, and the like, and the passenger information includes, for example, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, babies, elderly people, and the like. be.

Then, in step S16, an appropriate parking position in the parking lot is determined from the availability of the parking space in the parking lot, the size of the vehicle, and the information of the driver or the passenger. An appropriate parking position is a position that is close to the entrance from the parking lot to the store for people with disabilities and allows them to walk or move safely using assistive devices without blocking the aisle of the vehicle. For pregnant women and infants, it is located near the entrance to the store. Then, the management center transmits information on the parking position where parking is possible and the MAP in the parking lot to the information processing device 10 mounted on the vehicle via the network communication module 14.

In addition, the management center sets the display of the parking position as "reserved". That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the "reserved" display 51 is displayed by a light emitting plate or display such as a wall or a signboard provided at each parking position, or a sign or a lamp. When the vehicle arrives at the parking position, the license plate of the vehicle is photographed by the camera 52, and the match / mismatch with the link data of the management server is determined.

In the case of a match, information such as "parked in an appropriate position" is sent and displayed on the HUD. In addition, the parking start time is linked as link information. Further, the display 51 of "reserved" is canceled, and the display 53 of "parking is possible" is performed, for example.

If there is a discrepancy, the vehicle is not a parking target, so a message such as "No parking" or a voice alert such as "Please refrain from parking" is sent from the speaker 54 to alert the unauthorized person. As a result, it is possible to prevent the reserved parking position from being occupied by a vehicle having no reservation function.

Next, in step S17, the information processing device 10 mounted on the vehicle displays the vehicle to be guided from the parking lot MAP and the own vehicle position information by using the HUD, and guides the driver to the parking position. ..

FIG. 8 shows a moving situation of the vehicle in the parking lot, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an image seen from the HUD of the vehicle 1 through the window shield. In FIG. 8, when the designated parkable position is B, the vehicle 1 safely operates the vehicle while looking at the arrows 61 and 62 shown in the image seen from the HUD through the window shield as shown in FIG. , You can definitely park in the designated parking position.

Parking data such as an ID number, a parking position, a parking lot MAP, and a parking start time are transmitted to the mobile terminal 18 by the Bluetooth communication unit 17 of the information processing device 10 in FIG. The driver can check the parking data on the mobile terminal even if he / she goes out of the car with the parking ticket or the mobile terminal.

In addition, the parking fee can be settled with either a parking ticket or a mobile terminal. If the parking fee has been cleared, the management center will be linked to the ID number.

When the driver returns to the parking position, gets on the vehicle, and presses the ignition key, the information processing device 10 is activated, communication between the mobile terminal and the information processing device 10 is established, and communication between the management center and the information processing device 10 is established. Whether or not the charge has been settled is displayed on the HUD16. If it has been cleared, a display such as "cleared, available for delivery" is displayed on the HUD16.

In addition, the method of checking whether the parking fee has been settled or not has been carried out by making an inquiry to the management center from the information processing device 10 via the network. In the case of uncleared, an alert such as "Uncleared. Settled at the exit gate." Or "Payment is made on the mobile terminal." Is displayed.

In addition, the driver is guided to the exit gate according to the indication of the HUD. On the exit date, if the number has been confirmed by the facility camera 33, the gate will open and the goods can be delivered.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the driver can safely operate the vehicle and guide it to the optimum parking position without worrying about the size of the vehicle and the characteristics of the passenger. It is possible to provide a display device, an information processing device, a processing method of the information processing device, and a parking lot guidance system using the same.

In addition, since payment can be made with the mobile terminal, cashless payment using a so-called smartphone can also be performed, which is convenient for the user (driver).
