Description

The present invention relates to a control device for a parking device that parks multiple vehicles, and a control method thereof.

When operating a parking device, the operator must ensure safety before operating it.
When parking a vehicle in a parking device, an operator operates the operation panel.
For example, when a vehicle is to be removed from a parking device, an operator operates the operation panel.
The operator may be the driver of the vehicle.
For example, when a vehicle is to be parked in a parking device, the driver who is parking the vehicle in the entrance/exit space of the parking device operates the operation panel.
For example, when a vehicle is to be removed from a parking device, the driver who is removing the vehicle from the entrance/exit space of the parking device operates the operation panel.

A loading/unloading door is provided in the loading/unloading space.
The loading/unloading door is closed except when entering or leaving the warehouse, so people cannot easily enter the loading/unloading space.

To ensure safety, during normal operation, only the operator who has performed loading/unloading operations may close the loading/unloading door.

For example, when a vehicle is to be put into a parking device, a first authentication is performed by an authentication device, an entrance/exit door is opened, and then the driver puts the vehicle into the entrance/exit space, and after the driver has evacuated from the entrance/exit space, a second authentication is performed, and the entrance/exit door is closed.
For example, when a vehicle is removed from a parking device, a first authentication is performed using an authentication device, the entrance/exit door is opened, the driver enters the entrance/exit space, and after the driver removes the vehicle from the entrance/exit space, the driver gets off the vehicle, a second authentication is performed, and the entrance/exit door is closed.

After completing entry/exit procedures, the driver may leave the location without closing the entry/exit door.
After entering and leaving the facility, the driver may leave the location without performing a second authentication and without closing the entrance/exit door.
In such a case, another driver or operator can restart the parking device by performing a special operation.

In particular, in parking equipment that uses a contactless authentication device reader to read the authentication device, the driver forgets to perform a second authentication after entering and exiting the parking lot, and leaves the parking lot without closing the entrance and exit doors.

The present invention was devised in consideration of the problems mentioned above, and provides a parking system control device and a parking system control method for stable operation by preventing a person who opens an entrance/exit door from forgetting to close the entrance/exit door, etc.

In order to achieve the above object, a control device for a parking apparatus that allows a vehicle corresponding to an operator having an authentication device according to the present invention to enter and exit an entrance/exit space through an entrance/exit door that can change its state between a closed state and an open state, and parks the vehicle therein, comprises: an operation panel surface that is a panel surface operated by an operator, a call button that is a manual operator provided on the operation panel surface and that, when operated, requests the entry and exit of a vehicle corresponding to the operator, and an authentication device reader that is provided on the operation panel surface and has an authentication unit that is a part that, when an authentication device is placed on the operation panel surface, becomes capable of authenticating the authentication device,
when a specific authentication device, which is a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting entry/exit, is detected to be placed in the authentication unit when the entry/exit door is in a closed state and the call button is operated, the state of the entry/exit door is changed from a closed state to an open state;
When it is detected that the authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit while the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, a door opening process is executed, which is a process for not changing the state of the loading/unloading door from the closed state.

According to the above-described configuration of the present invention, the operation panel surface is a surface operated by an operator. The call button is a manual operation device provided on the operation panel surface that, when operated, requests the operator to enter or exit the corresponding vehicle. The authentication device reader is provided on the operation panel surface and has an authentication unit which is a part that is capable of authenticating an authentication device when an authentication device is placed on the authentication device reader. When the entry/exit door is in a closed state, it detects that a specific authentication device, which is a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting entry/exit, is placed on the authentication unit and the call button is operated, the state of the entry/exit door is changed from a closed state to an open state. When the entry/exit door is in a closed state and it detects that an authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit, the state of the entry/exit door is not changed from a closed state.
As a result, the operator can be guided to place the authentication device in the authentication section of the authentication device reader.

In order to achieve the above object, a method for controlling a parking apparatus according to the present invention allows a vehicle corresponding to an operator having an authentication device to enter and exit a parking space through an entrance/exit door that can change its state between a closed state and an open state, and to park the vehicle therein, the method comprising: a control panel surface that is a panel operated by an operator; a call button that is a manual operator provided on the operation panel surface and that, when operated, requests the entry and exit of a vehicle corresponding to the operator; and a control button that is provided on the operation panel surface and that, when an authentication device is placed on the operation panel surface, causes the authentication device to be in an authentication-enabled state. a preparation process for preparing a control device having an authentication device reader having an authentication unit which is a part that serves as an authentication code and a door close button which is a manual operator that is provided on the operation panel surface and which requests that the loading/unloading door be changed from an open state to a closed state when operated; a first authentication process for authenticating an operator associated with the authentication device placed in the authentication unit; a call process for changing the state of the loading/unloading space to an loading/unloading ready state in which the vehicle can be loaded/unloaded; a door opening process for changing the state of the loading/unloading door from a closed state to an open state; a second authentication process for authenticating the operator; an operator determination process for determining whether the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process; and a door closing process for changing the state of the loading/unloading door from an open state to a closed state,
The door opening process detects that a specific authentication device, which is a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting entry/exit, is placed in the authentication unit when the entry/exit door is in a closed state and the call button is operated, and changes the state of the entry/exit door from a closed state to an open state, and when it detects that an authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit when the entry/exit door is in a closed state, it does not change the state of the entry/exit door from a closed state.

According to the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the preparation process prepares a control device having an operation panel surface that is a panel surface operated by an operator, a call button that is a manual operation device that is provided on the operation panel surface and requests the entry and exit of a vehicle corresponding to the operator when operated, an authentication device reader that is provided on the operation panel surface and has an authentication unit that is a part that makes the authentication device available when an authentication device is placed on the operation panel surface, and a door close button that is a manual operation device that is provided on the operation panel surface and requests the entry and exit door to be changed from an open state to a closed state when operated. A first authentication process authenticates an operator associated with the authentication device placed on the authentication unit. A call process sets the state of the entry and exit space to an entry and exit available state in which a vehicle can be entered and exited. A door open process changes the state of the entry and exit door from a closed state to an open state. A second authentication process authenticates an operator. An operator determination process determines whether or not the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process. A door close process changes the state of the entry and exit door from an open state to a closed state.
The door opening process detects that a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting entry/exit is placed in the authentication section when the entry/exit door is in a closed state, and changes the state of the entry/exit door from a closed state to an open state when the call button is operated.
When it is detected that the authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit while the entrance/exit door is in the closed state, the state of the entrance/exit door is not changed from the closed state.
As a result, the operator can be guided to place the authentication device in the authentication section of the authentication device reader.

The following describes a method for controlling a parking device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention includes any of the embodiments described below, or a combination of two or more of them.

In a parking equipment control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the door opening process detects that the specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit, and when it detects that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit while the state of the entrance/exit door is changing from a closed state to an open state, it causes the state of the entrance/exit door to be stopped midway.
With the configuration of the above embodiment, the specific authentication device is detected to be placed in the authentication unit, and when it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is stopped halfway.
As a result, the operator can be prevented from moving the authentication device away from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.

A parking equipment control method according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the door closing process to be performed when, after performing the second authentication process and the operator determination process, it detects that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator determination process determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, and does not allow the door closing process to be performed when, after performing the second authentication process and the operator determination process, it detects that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit.
According to the configuration of the above embodiment, after the operator determination process is performed, when it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit after the second authentication step and the operator determination process are performed, and when it is determined that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, the door closing process is allowed to be performed. When it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit after the second authentication step and the operator determination process are performed, the door closing process is not allowed to be performed.
As a result, it is possible to prevent a different operator from performing the door closing process.

As described above, the parking system control device according to the present invention has the following advantages due to its configuration.
a call button and an authentication device reader are provided on the operation panel, and when the state of the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting loading/unloading is placed in the authentication section by the operator and the operator operates the call button, changing the state of the loading/unloading door from a closed state to an open state;
When the entrance/exit door is in a closed state, the state of the entrance/exit door is not changed from the closed state unless the authentication device is placed on the authentication section, so that the operator can be guided to place the authentication device on the authentication section of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is in the middle of changing from a closed state to an open state, if the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit by the operator, the state of the loading/unloading door is brought to an intermediate stop state, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the state of the loading/unloading door is in a stopped state, if the operator places the specific authentication device on the authentication unit, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from the stopped state to an open state, and if the specific authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit when the state of the loading/unloading door is in a stopped state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the stopped state, so that the operator can be guided to place the authentication device on the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the state of the loading/unloading door is in an intermediate stop state and the specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit by the operator and the operator operates the call button, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from the intermediate stop state to an open state, and if the specific authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit when the state of the loading/unloading door is in an intermediate stop state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the intermediate stop state, so that the operator can be guided to place the authentication device in the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from a closed state to an open state, if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit, the state of the loading/unloading door is returned to the closed state, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, if the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit by an operator, the state of the loading/unloading door is stopped midway,
The specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit, and even if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined percentage of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not stopped but continues to change until it reaches the open state.This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader, and prevents the loading/unloading door from stopping in an intermediate state close to the open state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process prior to a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is stopped and then returned to the closed state, and even when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not stopped but is allowed to change until it becomes open, so that the operator can be prevented from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader and the loading/unloading door can be prevented from stopping in an intermediate state close to the open state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from a closed state to an open state, the operator is warned by a means that senses at least one of sight and hearing, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, since the authentication section is a planar portion that extends in the depth direction of the operation panel surface and slopes downward as it transitions to the back, it is possible to prevent an authentication device placed on the authentication section of the authentication device reader from slipping off the authentication section.
In addition, when the loading/unloading door is in an open state, if the operator operates the door close button, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from the open state to the closed state, and when the loading/unloading door is in an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the open state unless the operator presses the door close button, so that the loading/unloading door is closed by the operator's operation during the door closing process.
In addition, when the entry/exit door is in an open state and the specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit by the operator and the operator operates the door close button, the state of the entry/exit door is changed from the open state to the closed state, and if the specific authentication device is not placed on the authentication unit when the entry/exit door is in an open state, the state of the entry/exit door is not changed from the open state, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader during the door closing process.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is open, if the operator operates the door close button within a predetermined time after the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from the open state to the closed state, and when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is open, if a predetermined time has passed since the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the open state.Therefore, the door can be closed even if the operator removes the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader during the door closing process.
In addition, the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit, and even if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not stopped but changed to the closed state, so that once the loading/unloading door starts to close, it will be in the closed state regardless of the operator's operation.
In addition, the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit, and when the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door is stopped. This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader, and keeps the operator at the operation panel until the loading/unloading door is in a closed state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit, the loading/unloading door is stopped, and even if the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not stopped but is changed to the closed state. Therefore, the operator can be prevented from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader, the operator can be kept at the operation panel until the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, and the loading/unloading door can be prevented from stopping in an intermediate state close to the closed state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is stopped and then returned to the open state. This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader and allows the operator to remain at the operation panel until the loading/unloading door is in a closed state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process prior to a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is stopped and then returned to the open state, and even when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit while the state of the loading/unloading door is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not stopped but is changed to the closed state. Therefore, the operator can be prevented from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader, the operator can be kept at the operation panel until the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, and the loading/unloading door can be prevented from stopping in an intermediate state close to the closed state.

As described above, the parking device control method according to the present invention has the following advantages due to its configuration.
A call button and an authentication device reader are provided on the operation panel, and when the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, a specific authentication device held by an operator requesting loading/unloading is placed in the authentication section by the operator and the operator operates the call button, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from a closed state to an open state, and if the authentication device is not placed in the authentication section when the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the closed state, so that the operator can be guided to place the authentication device in the authentication section of the authentication device reader.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the state of the loading/unloading door is in the middle of changing from a closed state to an open state when the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit by the operator, the state of the loading/unloading door is brought to an intermediate stop state, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, after the operator determination process is performed, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit and the operator determination process determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, the door closing process is performed, and when the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit, the door closing process is not performed, thereby preventing a different operator from performing the door closing process.
Therefore, there is provided a control device for a parking device and a control method for a parking device that can guide a person performing entering and leaving work to open and close the entering and leaving door.

The authenticated device issuing process S10 is a process for issuing an authenticated device.
An authentication code is recorded on the issued authentication device.
The issued authentication device may record an authentication code corresponding to the parking device.

The authentication device waiting process S 30 is a process for waiting for detection of the authentication device 7 being placed on the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230 .
For example, the authentication device waiting process S 30 is a process of waiting for an presence signal from an presence sensor that detects that the authentication device 7 is placed on the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230 .
For example, the authentication device waiting process S30 is a process for waiting until the authentication device 7 is placed in the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230 and becomes available for authentication.
When it is detected in the authentication device waiting process S30 that the authentication device 7 has been placed in the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230, the process proceeds to the next step.

The call button waiting process S60 is a process for waiting for the call button 220 to be operated.
For example, the call button waiting process S60 is a process that waits for the call button 220 to be pressed.
When it is detected that the call button 220 is operated, the process proceeds to the next step.

The call process S70 is a process for making the loading/unloading space available for loading/unloading.
If the parking mechanism 100 is of the type in which the vehicle 5 is placed on a pallet, in the entry mode, the call process S70 places an empty pallet in the entry/exit space to make the entry/exit space available for entry.
When the parking mechanism 100 is of a type in which the vehicle 5 is placed on a pallet, in the unloading mode, the pallet on which the unloading vehicle is placed is placed in the loading/unloading space to make the loading/unloading space ready for unloading.
When the call process S70 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step.

The door opening process S80 is a process for changing the state of the loading/unloading door 130 from a closed state to an open state.
The door opening process will be described in detail later.
When the door opening process S80 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step.
For example, when the door opening process S80 is completed, in the entrance mode, the driver enters the vehicle into the entrance/exit space, and after the driver leaves the entrance/exit space, the process proceeds to the next process.
For example, when the door opening process S80 is completed, in the leaving mode, the driver enters the entering/leaving space, gets in the vehicle, and the vehicle with the driver leaves the entering/leaving space before proceeding to the next process.

The unmanned confirmation button waiting process S90 is a process for waiting for the unmanned confirmation button to be operated.
For example, the unmanned confirmation button waiting process S90 is a process for waiting for the unmanned confirmation button to be pressed.
For example, the unmanned confirmation button is provided on the operation monitor 270 .
The operation panel surface 231 prompts the driver 6 to confirm that the loading/unloading space 120 is unoccupied.
When the door opening process is completed, the driver 6 performs the work of taking the vehicle 5 into and out of the garage.
For example, when the driver 6 leaves the loading/unloading space 120 after carrying out the loading/unloading operation of the vehicle 5 and confirms that the loading/unloading space 120 is unoccupied, he/she presses the unoccupied confirmation button.
When it is detected that the unmanned confirmation button has been pressed, the process proceeds to the next step.

The door close button waiting process S110 is a process for waiting for the door close button 240 to be pressed.
The operation panel surface 231 prompts the driver 6 to press the door close button 240 .
When it is detected that the door close button 240 is pressed, the process proceeds to the next step.

The door closing process S140 is a process for changing the state of the loading/unloading door 130 from an open state to a closed state.
The door closing process S140 will be described in detail later.
When the door closing process S140 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step.

The vehicle transportation process S150 is a process for transporting a vehicle from the loading/unloading space 120 to a parking space.
For example, the vehicle transport process S150 transports the entered vehicle from the entrance/exit space 120 to a parking space.
If the parking mechanism is of the type in which the vehicle is placed on a pallet, in the entrance mode, the pallet carrying the entered vehicle 5 is transported from the entrance/exit space 120 to the parking space.

The door opening process S80 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.
Here, the operator may be a vehicle driver, a dedicated operator of a parking device, or the like.
For ease of explanation, the specific authentication device held by the operator requesting entry and exit is referred to as a specific authentication device.

When the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is closed, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication section 231 and the call button 220 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the closed state to the open state.
When the loading/unloading door 130 is in a closed state, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and the call button 220 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may be changed from a closed state to an open state after executing the call process S70.
When it is detected that the authentication device 7 is not placed on the authentication section 231 while the entrance/exit door 130 is in the closed state, the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is not changed from the closed state even if the call button is pressed.
When it is detected that the authentication device 7 is not placed in the authentication section 231 while the loading/unloading door 130 is in the closed state, even if the call button is pressed, the call process S70 is not executed and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the closed state.

For example, when the loading/unloading door 130 is in a closed state, if a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and it is detected that authentication is possible, and the call button 220 is pressed, the call process S70 is executed, and then the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from a closed state to an open state.
When it is detected that the authentication device 7 is not placed in the authentication section 231 and authentication is not possible while the entrance/exit door 130 is in a closed state, even if the call button 220 is pressed, the call process S70 is not executed and the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is not changed from the closed state.
In this way, unless the authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231, the state will not change from the closed state to the open state.

When it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may be stopped midway.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 132 and is in a state where authentication is not possible while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped halfway.
In this way, if the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication section 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the loading/unloading door 231 can be stopped midway.

When it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 while the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is in the half-stop state, the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is changed from the half-stop state to the open state,
When it is detected that a specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in the half-stop state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may not be changed from the half-stop state.

For example, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an intermediate stop state, if a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and it is detected that the door is in an intermediate stop state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the intermediate stop state to the open state.
When the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is in the halfway stopped state, if it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication section 231 and authentication is impossible, the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is not changed from the halfway stopped state.
For example, if it is detected that an authentication device other than a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 while the storage/return door 130 is in the half-stop state, the state of the storage/return door 130 is not changed from the half-stop state.
In this manner, when the specific authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an intermediate stop state, placing the specific authentication device 7 on the authentication unit 231 can cause the state of the loading/unloading door 130 to move toward an open state.

When the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in the half-stop state, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the call button 220 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the half-stop state to the open state, and when it is detected that a specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in the half-stop state, the state of the loading/unloading door may not be changed from the half-stop state.

For example, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an intermediate stop state, a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 to detect that the door is in an intermediate stop state, and when the call button 220 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the intermediate stop state to the open state.
When the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is in the halfway stopped state, if it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication section 231 and authentication is impossible, the state of the entrance/exit door is not changed from the halfway stopped state.
For example, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in the halfway stopped state, even if it is detected that an authentication device other than a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and the call button 220 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the halfway stopped state.
In this way, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an intermediate stop state, by placing the authentication device 7 on the authentication section 231 and pressing the call button 220 again, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 can be changed to an open state.

When it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may be returned to the closed state.

For example, when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and when it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is not possible while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is returned to the closed state.
In this manner, if the specific authentication device 7 is released from the authentication section 231 while the loading/unloading door 130 is moving from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading space can be returned to the closed state.

When it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and when it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state in an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped midway,
Even if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined percentage of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may be changed without stopping until it becomes open.
Here, the predetermined value may be a value that is set in advance. The same applies below.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is not possible while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined percentage of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is brought to an intermediate stop state.
Even if it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and is in an authentication possible state, and that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231 and is in an authentication impossible state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed until it becomes an open state.
In this way, if the authentication device 7 is released from the authentication unit 231 while the storage/retrieval door 130 is moving from a closed state to an open state, the door will stop halfway, and even if the authentication device 7 is released from the authentication unit 231 when the movement exceeds a predetermined value %, the door will remain in the open state.

When it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and when it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from the closed state to the open state at a predetermined value % of the entire process, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the closed state,
The system may be so designed that, even if it detects that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and detects that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state during an intermediate process after a predetermined percentage of the entire process, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is allowed to change without stopping until it reaches the open state.

For example, it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined percentage of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is impossible, and after stopping the state of the loading/unloading door 130, it is returned to the closed state.
Even if it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and is in an authentication possible state, and that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231 and is in an authentication impossible state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed until it becomes an open state.
In this way, if the authentication device 7 is released from the authentication unit 231 while the storage/retrieval door 130 is moving from a closed state to an open state, the door will stop and return to the closed state, and even if the authentication device 7 is released from the authentication unit 231 when the door has moved beyond a predetermined percentage, the door will remain in the open state.

When it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and when it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the operator may be warned by a means that conveys a sense of at least one of sight or hearing.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is not possible while the state of the storage/retrieval door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, a warning is given to the operator by a means that conveys a sense of at least one of sight or hearing.
For example, a warning message is displayed on the monitor screen.
For example, a warning sound is generated.
For example, sounding a warning message.
For example, a warning light is turned on.
For example, a warning light may be flashed.
In this manner, if the authentication device is removed while the state of the loading/unloading door 120 is changing from a closed state to an open state, a warning can be given to the operator.

The door closing process S140 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.

In the door closing process S140, when the door closing button 240 is pressed while the storage/return door 130 is in the open state, the state of the storage/return door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
Unless a door open button 240 is pressed when the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the open state.

When the state of the loading/unloading door is in an open state, it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and when the door close button 240 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
When the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is open and it is detected that a specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit 231, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 may not be changed from the open state.

For example, when the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 to detect that it is in a state where authentication is possible, and when the door close button 240 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state.
When it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed on the authentication section 231 and authentication is not possible while the entrance/exit door 130 is in an open state, the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is not changed from the open state.
For example, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is open and it is detected that a specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication section 231 and authentication is not possible, even if the door open button 240 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the open state.
In this manner, unless the authentication device 7 is placed in the authentication section 231, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 will not change from an open state to a closed state even if the door open button 240 is pressed.

After the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the door closing process S140 is permitted to be performed;
If it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit 231 after the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, the door closing process S140 is not permitted to be performed.

For example, after the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, when the door close button 240 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from an open state to a closed state.
When it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed on the authentication section 231 after the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the open state even if the door open button 240 is pressed.

For example, after the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and in a state where authentication is possible and the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, when the door close button 240 is pressed, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from an open state to a closed state.
When it is detected that the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication section 231 and authentication is not possible after the second authentication process S120 and the operator determination process S130 are performed, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the open state even if the door open button 240 is pressed.
In this manner, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and a specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, pressing the door close button 240 can change the state of the loading/unloading door 130 from an open state to a closed state.

When the specific authentication device is detected to be placed on the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, if the door close button 240 is pressed within a predetermined time after detecting that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
It is also possible to detect that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231, and when the state of the loading/unloading door 139 is in the open state, if a predetermined time has elapsed since it was detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication section, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 will not be changed from the open state even if the door open button 240 is pressed.
Here, the predetermined time may be a time that is set in advance. The same applies below.

For example, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and detects that it is in a state where authentication is possible, and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is open, if the door close button 240 is pressed within a predetermined time after it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state.
When it is detected that the specific authentication device is placed on the authentication section 231 and is in an authentication possible state and the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is in an open state, if a predetermined time has elapsed since it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231, the state of the entrance/exit door 130 is not changed from the open state even if a door close button 240 is pressed.
In this manner, even if the authentication device 7 is disconnected from the authentication section 231, pressing the door close button 240 within a specified time period will change the state of the loading/unloading door 130 from an open state to a closed state, and pressing the door close button 240 after the specified time period will not change the state of the loading/unloading door 130 from an open state to a closed state.

Even if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 may be changed to the closed state without being stopped.

For example, even if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 and becomes in an unauthenticable state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed to the closed state.
In this way, even if the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication section 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the door can remain in the closed state.

It detects that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231, and when it detects that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, it stops the loading/unloading door.

For example, when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and when it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 and becomes in an authentication impossible state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped.
In this manner, when the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication section 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 can be made to stop.

If it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped, and even if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 may be changed to the closed state without being stopped.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 and becomes in an unauthenticable state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined percentage of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped.
Even if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231 and is in a state where authentication is impossible while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is changed to a closed state without being stopped.
In this manner, when the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication unit 231 during the process in which the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 stops, and even if the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication unit 231 during the process beyond the middle, the door can continue to change to the closed state without stopping.

It detects that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231, and when it detects that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, it stops the state of the loading/unloading door 130 and then returns it to the open state.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device has been removed from the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is not possible while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the open state.
In this manner, when the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication section 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 231 can be made to stop and return to the open state.

When it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the open state, and even when it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed on the authentication unit 231 and it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed to the closed state.

For example, if it is detected that a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and is in a state where authentication is possible, and if it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 and becomes in an unauthenticable state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined percentage of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the open state.
The specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and it is detected that the specific authentication device is in an authentication possible state, and even if it is detected that the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231 and becomes in an authentication impossible state while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed to the closed state.
In this manner, when the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication unit 231 during the process in which the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 stops and returns to the open state, and even if the authentication device 7 is removed from the authentication unit 231 during the process beyond the middle, the door can be changed to the closed state.

Next, a control method for the parking device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The control method of a parking device in the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a preparation process, an authentication device issuing process, an authentication device waiting process, a call button waiting process, a calling process, a door opening process, an unmanned confirmation button waiting process, a door closing button waiting process, a door closing process, and a vehicle transporting process.

The preparation process is a process of preparing the parking equipment and the control equipment.
The parking equipment is equipment that transports a vehicle between an entrance/exit space and a parking space and parks the vehicle in the parking space.
The control device is a device that controls the parking mechanism.
The control device may include an operation panel surface that is a panel operated by an operator, a call button that is located on the operation panel surface and that, when pressed, requests the operator to move the corresponding vehicle into or out of the parking lot, an authentication device reader that is located on the operation panel surface and has an authentication section that becomes capable of authenticating the authentication device when the operator places an authentication device on it, and a door close button that is located on the operation panel surface and that, when pressed, requests that the parking lot door be changed from an open state to a closed state.

The authenticated device issuing step is a step of executing an authenticated device issuing process S10.
The authentication device waiting step is a step of executing an authentication device waiting process S30.
The call button waiting step is a step of executing the call button waiting process S60.
The calling step is a step of executing the calling process S70.
The door opening process is a process for executing the door opening process S80.

The door opening process detects that a specific authentication device, which is a specific authentication device held by the operator requesting entry/exit, has been placed in the authentication section by the operator when the entry/exit door 130 is in a closed state and when the operator presses a call button, changes the state of the entry/exit door from a closed state to an open state, and when it detects that the authentication device is not placed in the authentication section when the entry/exit door is in a closed state, it does not execute the call process and does not change the state of the entry/exit door from the closed state.
The door opening process may be configured to, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is closed, detect that a specific authentication device held by the operator requesting loading/unloading has been placed in the authentication section by the operator and the operator presses the call button, execute a call process and then change the state of the loading/unloading door from a closed state to an open state, and, when it is detected that the authentication device is not placed in the authentication section when the loading/unloading door is closed, not execute the call process and leave the state of the loading/unloading door unchanged from the closed state.

For example, when the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, the door opening process detects that a specific authentication device held by the operator requesting loading/unloading has been placed in the authentication section by the operator and is in a state where it can be authenticated, and when the operator presses the call button, after executing the call process, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from a closed state to an open state.
When it is detected that the authentication device is not placed in the authentication section and authentication is not possible while the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, the loading/unloading process is not executed and the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the closed state.

The detailed configuration of the door opening process is the same as that described in the control mechanism of the parking device in the first embodiment, so the explanation will be omitted.

The unmanned confirmation button waiting step is a step of executing unmanned confirmation button waiting processing S90.
The door close button waiting step is a step of executing door close button waiting process S110.
The door closing step is a step of executing the door closing process S140.
The vehicle transport step is a step of executing a vehicle transport process S150.

The detailed configuration of the door closing process is the same as that described in the control mechanism of the parking device in the first embodiment, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

Next, the control device of the parking device according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 6 is a process flow diagram of a parking device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The parking device control device in the second embodiment is a device that controls a parking device that rents out parking space to authenticated operators on a monthly basis.

The control device of the parking system in the second embodiment allows the entrance/exit door 130 to be closed when it determines that the driver who requested entry and opened the entrance/exit door 130 is the same driver who entered and exited the vehicle.
The control equipment of the parking system in the second embodiment may authenticate the operator using an authentication code recorded in an authentication device carried by the operator.
The control device of the parking system in the second embodiment may authenticate the operator using an authentication code entered by the operator.
The control device of the parking system in the second embodiment may authenticate the operator by biometric authentication.
Biometric authentication is a method of authenticating an operator using their biological characteristics, such as fingerprints, vein patterns, retina, voice, and so on.

A driver who operates the operation panel 210 is called an operator.
For ease of explanation, the parking mechanism will be described as being of a type in which vehicles are placed on pallets and handled.
The following describes the inbound and outbound processing performed by the control device 200.

A parking device according to a second embodiment of the present invention is a device that parks a vehicle corresponding to an operator.
The parking device according to the second embodiment of the present invention may be a device that parks a plurality of vehicles corresponding to a plurality of operators, respectively.

A control method for a parking device according to a second embodiment of the present invention is a method for parking a vehicle corresponding to an operator by entering and exiting the vehicle in an entrance/exit space in which an entrance/exit door is provided.
A control method for a parking device according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a method for having a plurality of operators respectively enter and exit a parking space in which an entrance/exit door is provided, and park the corresponding plurality of vehicles.

The parking device control device 200 in the second embodiment executes an authentication device issuance process S10, an association process S20, an authentication device waiting process S30, a first authentication process S40, a call button waiting process S60, a call process S70, a door opening process S80, an unattended confirmation button waiting process S90, a door closing button waiting process S110, a second authentication process S120, an operator determination process S130, and a door closing process S140.
The parking device control device 200 in the second embodiment may execute an authentication device issuance process S10, an association process S20, an authentication device waiting process S30, a first authentication process S40, a call button waiting process S60, a call process S70, a door opening process S80, an unattended confirmation button waiting process S90, a door closing button waiting process S110, a second authentication process S120, an operator determination process S130, a door closing process S140, and a vehicle transport process S150.

The authenticated device issuing process S10 and the association process S20 are carried out in that order.
Corresponding to vehicles entering or leaving the depot, authentication device waiting process S30, first authentication process S40, call button waiting process S60, call process S70, door opening process S80, unmanned confirmation button waiting process S90, door closing button waiting process S110, second authentication process S120, operator determination process S130, and door closing process S140 are performed in this order.
In response to a vehicle entering and leaving the facility once, the authentication device waiting process S30, first authentication process S40, call button waiting process S60, call process S70, door opening process S80, unmanned confirmation button waiting process S90, door closing button waiting process S110, second authentication process S120, operator determination process S130, door closing process S140, and vehicle transport process S150 may be performed in this order.

The configurations of the authentication device issuing process S10, authentication device waiting process S30, call button waiting process S60, call process S70, door opening process S80, unattended confirmation button waiting process S90, door closing button waiting process S110, and door closing process S140 are the same as those of the parking device control device in the first embodiment, so we will omit the explanation and explain the other processes.

The association process S20 is a process for associating an authentication code, which is a code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices, with an operator who has been given the authentication device.
For example, the association process S20 is a process for associating an authentication code, which is a code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices, with management data of an operator who has been given the authentication device.
For example, the control data may be the owner of the vehicle, the vehicle dimensions, weight, the parking space number assigned to the vehicle, the duration of the parking contract, and so on.
For example, the association process S20 associates an authentication code, which is a code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices 7, with the management data of the operator who has been given the authentication device and stores them in a database (not shown).

The association process S20 may associate an authentication code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices with an operator code, which is the code of the operator who has been given the authentication device.
For example, the association process associates an authentication code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices 7 with an operator code, which is the code of the operator who has been given the authentication device, and stores the associated code in a database.

The association process S20 may associate an authentication code, which is a code recorded in advance in each of a plurality of authentication devices, with biometric authentication information, which is information obtained when an operator who is assigned an authentication device is biometrically authenticated.
For example, the association process S20 associates an authentication code, which is a code recorded in advance in an authentication device for each of a plurality of authentication devices, with biometric authentication information, which is information obtained when an operator who is assigned an authentication device is biometrically authenticated, and stores the association in a database (not shown).

The first authentication process S40 is a process for authenticating an operator associated with the authentication device 7 placed in the authentication unit 231.
For example, the first authentication process S40 is a process for authenticating an operator associated with the authentication device 7 placed in the authentication unit 231 when requesting entry or exit.
The first authentication process S40 is the first process for authenticating an operator in one loading/unloading process.
For example, the authentication device reader 230 reads an authentication code from an authentication device placed on the authentication unit 231 and authenticates the operator.
For example, the operator is authenticated using an operator code that is manually input by the operator.
For example, the operator is authenticated using biometric authentication data obtained by biometric authentication of the operator.
When the first authentication process S40 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step.
For example, when the first authentication process S40 is completed and it is determined that the authentication device is the authentication device of the person with whom the operator has made a parking contract, the process proceeds to the next step.
For ease of explanation, the authentication device authenticated in the first authentication process S40 when a specific vehicle enters or leaves the warehouse is referred to as a specific authentication device.

The first authentication process 40 waits for the operator to place the authentication device 7 in the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230, and when the authentication device 7 is placed in the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 130, it reads an authentication code from the authentication device 7 and authenticates the operator associated with the specific authentication device, which is the authentication device 7 placed in the authentication section 231, based on the specific authentication code that is the read authentication code.
The first authentication process S40 may record an authentication code that is a code corresponding to the operator who performed the first authentication operation.

The second authentication process S120 is a process for authenticating the operator.
The second authentication process S120 is a second process for authenticating an operator in one warehousing/retrieval process.
For example, the authentication device reader 230 reads an authentication code from an authentication device placed on the authentication unit 231 and authenticates the operator.
For example, the operator is authenticated using an input code that is manually input by the operator.
For example, the operator is authenticated using biometric authentication data obtained by biometric authentication of the operator.
Once the operator is authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the process proceeds to the next step.

The operator determination process S130 is a process for determining whether the operator authenticated in the first authentication process S40 is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120.
For example, the operator determination process S130 judges whether the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process. If so, it is determined that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process S40 is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120.
If they are not associated, it is determined that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process S40 is not the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120.

After performing the operator determination process S130, if the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process S40 is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the door closing process S140 is performed, and if the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process S40 is not the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the door closing process S140 is not performed.
After performing the operator determination process S130, if the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the door closing process S140 is performed, and if the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is not associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the door closing process S140 may not be performed.

Here, the specific authentication code is the authentication code read by the authentication device reader 230 from the authentication device 7 in the first authentication process S40 during one entry/exit process.

The second authentication process S<b>120 may be a process in which the authentication device reader 230 acquires the authentication code of the authentication device 7 .
For example, in the second authentication process S120, the authentication device reader 230 obtains the authentication code of the authentication device 7 placed in the authentication unit 231.

For example, after performing the operator determination process S130, if the specific authentication code is identical to the authentication code authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process is the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, and performs the door close process S140; if the specific authentication code is not identical to the authentication code authenticated in the second authentication process S120, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process is not the same as the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, and does not perform the door close process S140.

The second authentication process S120 may be a process of acquiring an input code input by the operator.
For example, after performing the operator determination process S130, if the specific authentication code corresponds to the input code entered by the operator, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process and the operator authenticated in the second authentication process are the same, and performs the door closing process S140; if the specific authentication code does not correspond to the input code entered by the operator, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process and the operator authenticated in the second authentication process are not the same, and does not perform the door closing process S140.

The second authentication process S120 may be a process of acquiring biometric authentication information of the operator authenticated by biometric authentication.
For example, after performing the operator determination process S130, if the specific authentication code corresponds to the biometric authentication information of the operator authenticated by biometric authentication in the second authentication process, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process and the operator authenticated in the second authentication process are the same, and performs the door closing process S140. However, if the specific authentication code does not correspond to the biometric authentication information of the operator authenticated by biometric authentication in the second authentication process, the operator determination process S130 determines that the operator authenticated in the first authentication process and the operator authenticated in the second authentication process are not the same, and does not perform the door closing process S140.

When the door closing process S140 is performed and the loading/unloading door is in a closed state, proceed to the next process.

In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator releases the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process prior to a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the closed state, and even when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator releases the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from a closed state to an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed until it becomes open, so that the operator can be prevented from releasing the authentication device from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230 and the loading/unloading door 130 can be prevented from stopping in an intermediate state close to the open state.
In addition, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the storage/retrieval door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state, the operator is warned by a means that provides a sense of at least one of sight or hearing, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230.
In addition, since the authentication section 231 is a planar portion that extends in the depth direction of the operation panel surface and slopes downward as it transitions to the back, it is possible to prevent the authentication device 7 placed on the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230 from slipping off the authentication section.
In addition, when the door close button 240 is pressed by the operator while the loading/unloading door 130 is in the open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
When the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door is not changed from the open state unless the operator presses a door close button 240, so that the loading/unloading door 130 is closed by the operator's operation during door closing processing.
In addition, when the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, if the operator places a specific authentication device on the authentication unit 231 and presses the door close button 130, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
When the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the open state unless a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231, so that the operator is prevented from removing the authentication device 7 from the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230 during the door closing process.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is in an open state, if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 and then presses the door close button 240 within a predetermined time, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changed from the open state to the closed state,
When a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication section 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is open, if a predetermined time has elapsed since the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication section 231 by the operator, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the open state, so that the door can be closed even if the operator removes the authentication device 7 from the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230 during the door closing process S140.
In addition, a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231, and even if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed to the closed state. Therefore, once the loading/unloading door 130 begins to close, it will be in the closed state regardless of the operator's operation.
In addition, a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231, and if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped. This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device 7 from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230, and makes it possible to keep the operator at the operation panel surface 210 until the loading/unloading door 130 reaches a closed state.
In addition, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process before a predetermined value % of the entire process from an open state to a closed state, if the specific authentication device is released from the authentication unit 231 by an operator, the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped,
A specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231, and even if the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from the open state to the closed state during an intermediate process after a predetermined percentage of the entire process, the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed to the closed state. This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device 7 from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230, and keeps the operator at the operation panel until the loading/unloading door is in the closed state, and prevents the loading/unloading door 130 from stopping in an intermediate state close to the closed state.
In addition, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator removes the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from an open state to a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the open state. This prevents the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230 and makes it possible to keep the operator at the operation panel surface 210 until the loading/unloading door 130 reaches the closed state.
In addition, when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator releases the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process prior to a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is stopped and then returned to the open state, and even when the specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator releases the specific authentication device from the authentication unit 231 while the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing during an intermediate process after a predetermined value % of the entire process from the open state to the closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not stopped but is changed to the closed state. Therefore, the operator can be prevented from releasing the authentication device 7 from the authentication unit 231 of the authentication device reader 230, the operator can be kept at the operation panel surface 210 until the loading/unloading door 130 is in a closed state, and the loading/unloading door 130 can be prevented from stopping in an intermediate state close to the closed state.

As described above, the parking device control method according to the present invention has the following advantages due to its configuration.
A call button 220 and an authentication device reader 230 are provided on the operation panel, and when the loading/unloading door 130 is in a closed state, an operator requesting loading/unloading places a specific authentication device held by the operator in the authentication section 231 and presses the call button 220, the state of the loading/unloading door is changed from the closed state to the open state, and if the authentication device is not placed in the authentication section 231 when the loading/unloading door 130 is in a closed state, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is not changed from the closed state, so that the operator can be guided to place the authentication device in the authentication section 231 of the authentication device reader 230.
In addition, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is changing from a closed state to an open state and the specific authentication device is removed from the authentication unit 231 by the operator, causing the loading/unloading door 130 to become unable to be authenticated, the state of the loading/unloading door 130 is set to an intermediate stop state, thereby preventing the operator from removing the authentication device from the authentication unit of the authentication device reader.
In addition, after the operator determination process is performed, when a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator determination process determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, a door closing process is performed, and when the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit, the door closing process is not performed, thereby preventing a different operator from performing the door closing process.
In addition, after the operator determination process S130 is performed, if a specific authentication device is placed in the authentication unit 231 and the operator determination process S130 determines that the specific authentication code is associated with the operator authenticated in the second authentication process, the door closing process S140 is performed, and if the specific authentication device is not placed in the authentication unit 231, the door closing process S140 is not performed, thereby preventing a different operator from performing the door closing process.
