Abstract

PURPOSE:To resolve problems such as miswrite of data to a magnetic card, a long time spent in checkin/checkout processing, etc., in the conventional parking card system where the date is written on the magnetic card at the time of checkin to return the magnetic card and the checkin date in the magnetic card is read out to calculate the charge at the time of checkout and a charge bill is issued then. CONSTITUTION:A magnetic card 6 where a card number or the like is only read in by a card reader 4 to perform the checkin/checkout processing without reading data into the card. That is, at the time of checkin, a personal computer 1 stores the card number read from the card 6 in a hard disk 1A as checkin data together with the read date and prints and outputs a slip through a printer 5. At the time of checkout, the personal computer 1 reads out checkin data related to the card number read from the card 6 from the hard disk 1A and calculates the charge for the use and prints and outputs a charge bill through the printer 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot card system for reading data in a card and carrying out a loading / unloading process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional parking lot card system, a user inserts a magnetic card previously received at the entrance of a parking lot into a card reader / writer at the time of entering, so that the date and time of entry can be recorded on the magnetic card. Write this date,
This magnetic card is returned together with the slip with the time and card number printed, and when leaving the warehouse, the date and time at the time of storage is read from the magnetic card inserted by the user via the card reader / writer, the usage time is checked, and the charge is calculated. , Issued a billing bill, erased unnecessary data on the magnetic card, and was trying to reuse the magnetic card.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, since the date and time data are written in the magnetic card during the warehousing process and the warehousing process, the writing from the card reader / writer is performed. There is a possibility of a mistake, and processing such as writing and erasing takes time. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a parking lot card system that performs a loading / unloading process without writing data to such a card.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the parking lot card system according to claim 1 uses a card in which at least ID data (card number, etc.) is written, and enters and leaves A parking lot card system that calculates a usage fee from date and time, and at the time of warehousing and warehousing, data is written only by reading data from the card via a card data reading means (card reader 4 etc.). To perform the usage charge calculation without

A parking lot card system according to a second aspect of the present invention is the parking lot card system according to the first aspect, wherein at least at the time of warehousing, the ID data of the card and the warehousing date and time are stored as warehousing data (such as the hard disk 1A). )
And storing means for reading out the storage data relating to the ID data of the relevant card from the storage means at the time of leaving, and calculating the usage charge (personal computer main body 1 or the like).

A parking lot card system according to claim 3 is the parking lot card system according to claim 1 or 2, wherein
It is assumed that the card is a magnetic card (such as 6).

[0007]

[Function] When a card number or the like as ID data is written in the card and the loading / unloading process is performed, the card number is read by the card reader, and the subsequent data writing is performed in the storage device of the personal computer. , Do not write to the card.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the configuration of a parking lot card system. In the figure, 1 is a personal computer main body, 1A is a hard disk, 2 is a CRT for displaying data and an operation menu, 3 is a keyboard for selecting menus, and 4 is a card reader for reading data from a magnetic card. Reference numeral 5 is a printer, which is a means for issuing a receipt on which card data and entry times, exit times, charges, etc. are printed, and 6 is a magnetic card.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of FIG. Next, FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The symbols S1 to S9 below indicate the steps in FIG. That is, when carrying out the warehousing process and the warehousing process, the magnetic card 6 is inserted into the card reader 4 (S1). Then the card reader 4
Reads the card number as ID data in the magnetic card 6, sends the read card number to the personal computer body 1 (S2), and ejects the magnetic card 6 from the card reader 4 (S3). Next, the personal computer main body 1 determines whether it is a warehousing process or a warehousing process based on the card number sent from the card reader 4 (S4). That is, when the warehousing process related to the card number is not performed, the warehousing process is determined, and when the warehousing process is completed and the warehousing process is not performed, the warehousing process is determined. If it is determined that the process is the warehousing process (S4, branch, warehousing),
The personal computer body 1 writes the receipt data such as the card number and the receipt time into the hard disk 1A (S8), and prints the card number, the receipt time and the like on the slip through the printer 5 (S9). On the other hand, when it is determined to be the warehousing process in step S4 (branching, warehousing), the personal computer body 1 reads the warehousing data corresponding to the card number from the hard disk 1A (S5), and after calculating the usage fee (S).
6) The fee and the like are printed on the fee billing slip through the printer 5 and output (S7).

[0010]

According to the present invention, at least the ID data (card number, etc.) is written and placed on the magnetic card brought by the user, and only the data is read out from the magnetic card during the loading / unloading process. , Do not write data to the card,
Since all the data required for this process is stored in the personal computer, data errors due to data transmission / reception for writing data to a magnetic card as in the conventional art are reduced. In addition, the time required to write data to the magnetic card is eliminated, and the window work becomes smooth.
