JPH05242099A - Parking lot guiding system by interaction on telephone - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain use information at arbitrary place and time by recognizing voice sound of a user an telephone so as to supply use information a desired parking lot. CONSTITUTION:The use transition of a parking lot is collected by a use condition inputting unit 7 and a communication control unit 2, receiving that data, transmits it to a processor 3. The processor 3 transmits a set of parking lot name and its use condition corresponding to it to a voice sound synthesizing and such used information as 'vacant' and 'full', several patterns, is registered in the voice sound synthesizing unit 4, so conversion into voice sound is done without delay based upon the information from the processor 3. A voice sound recognizing/responding unit 5 stores the voice sound sent from the voice sound synthesizing unit 4, and based upon the voice sound inputted from a telephone on a car 6, etc., through a telephone channel 8, decides the parking lot that a user wants to know, and supplies the information corresponding to that by a voice sound from the voice sound synthesizing unit 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone conversation type parking lot guidance system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a parking lot guidance system, the parking lot usage situation to a parking lot user is sent from the center to the city by wire or wirelessly and notified by the following method.

In the first method, a display board is used to display the position and use status of the parking lot in a map format, or the name of the parking lot and the use status are displayed in text. By visually obtaining this information from the display board, the decision was made to search for the desired parking lot.

In the second method, the parking lot user receives this information by a radio mounted on the traveling vehicle by putting the information on the radio wave, and obtains this information by hearing, and then the parking lot of the target parking lot. Had made a decision to look for.

[0005]

However, the conventional method of transmitting information on the use situation of the parking lot by the display board has the following problems. When the amount of information on the display board (the number of parking lots, etc.) is large, it is difficult to obtain target information from the traveling vehicle. In other words, the user (especially the driver of the vehicle ) Is hard to do. Furthermore, the faster the vehicle speed, the more difficult it becomes. A specific position, that is, the place where the display board is installed,
Alternatively, the usage status of the parking lot can be obtained only at a specific place such as a section where radio broadcasting is performed. Other parking information that the user does not need is entered, let alone waiting for the information of the target parking lot on the radio broadcast.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot guide system which can obtain utilization information of a desired parking lot at an arbitrary place at an arbitrary time.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a telephone conversation type parking lot guidance system according to the present invention, a communication control device for collecting information on the usage situation of each parking lot, and the collected information. A processing device for performing a calculation for transmitting to the user, a voice synthesizing device for converting the calculation result obtained by the processing device into a voice, and recognizing a telephone voice from the user,
And a voice recognition response device that responds to the usage situation of the intended parking lot.

[0008]

[Operation] Use the telephone line to obtain the usage status of the parking lot.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system function diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, in order to realize a conversation type parking lot guidance system by telephone, a communication control device 2 for collecting information on the usage situation of each parking lot at a center 1 and collected information. A processing device 3 for performing a calculation for transmitting to the user, a voice synthesizer 4 for converting the calculation result obtained by the processing device 3 into a voice, and a voice recognition response device 5 for recognizing and responding to a telephone voice from the user. And.

A change in the use situation of the parking lot (for example, a change from an empty car to a full car) is collected by the use situation input device 7,
The communication control device 2 receiving this data sends the data to the processing device 3.

The processing device 3 transmits the combination of the parking lot 7 and the corresponding usage status to the voice synthesizer 4.

In the voice synthesizing device 4, if the name of the parking lot whose usage is being monitored and several patterns such as empty or full of the usage are registered, the information from the processing device 3 is immediately converted into a voice. Can be converted.

The voice recognition response device 5 stores the voice sent from the voice synthesizer 4, and the user wants to know based on the voice input from the telephone such as the vehicle 6 via the telephone line (exchange) 8. A parking lot in which the vehicle is parked is determined, and information corresponding to the determined parking lot is responded by a voice sent from the voice synthesizer 4.

With this, the user can obtain the usage situation of the parking lot he / she wants to know by using the telephone.

If a telephone push line is used,
The user can also talk to the information center by pressing the push button instead of the voice.

[0017]

As described above, by implementing the telephone conversation type parking lot guidance system of the present invention,
The following effects can be obtained. Since only the information on the target parking lot can be obtained, it is possible to prevent the information from being leaked. By using the conventional transmission method together, more reliable information can be obtained. If you use the in-vehicle phone, you can know the usage status of the desired parking lot at any place. There is no need to wait in time until the information about the target parking lot is broadcast on the radio. Since you are using the telephone, you can get information not only at the vehicle but also at home and in the office, and it is possible to roughly determine the parking lot to use before going out.
