In the present embodiment, the CPU 13 performs a loading / unloading routine (such as filing of parking data) and a search routine. Generally, a large amount of time is required to search for a specific vehicle 7 based on a small number of clues from a large amount of parking data filed in the storage device 14, and the loading / unloading process is stopped during the search process. Will end up. On the other hand, the loading / unloading process for each vehicle 7 is completed in a short time. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the proximity sensor 8 or the like requests the warehousing / discharging process during the search process, the CPU 13 is interrupted, the search process is temporarily interrupted to perform the warehousing / discharging process, and the search is performed after the warehousing / leaving process is completed. Restart processing.

(A) Entry / Exit Routine FIG. 3 is a flow chart for explaining the entry / exit routine of the parking management processing procedure by the above-described parking management device. First, the CPU 13 determines whether the vehicle 7 has approached the card booth 1 based on the signal output by the sensor 8 (step Sa1). When the vehicle 7 is detected by the sensor 8 in step Sa1, an interrupt command is transmitted and the search process described later is stopped (step Sa2). CP at the next step Sa3
U13 waits until the search process is interrupted.

After confirming that the search processing is interrupted, the CPU 13 fetches date and time data representing the current date and time from the timer 12, and transmits the date and time data, the parking ticket number and the parking place number to the ticket issuing machine 4. (Step S
a4). At this time, the ticket issuing machine 4 prints the date and time, the parking ticket number and the parking place number on the parking ticket 3 and records the same data by magnetic or punch holes.
This parking ticket 3 is issued to the driver D of the vehicle 7 or the like.
The driver D receiving the issuance of the parking ticket 3 guides the vehicle 7 to the parking area where the parking place number printed on the parking ticket 3 is displayed and stores the vehicle 7.

Next, the CPU 13 instructs the image processor 11 to execute the above-mentioned digital video data (A) to (E).
Requesting any of the above, the supplied digital video data and each data of date and time and parking ticket number are filed in the storage device 14 (step Sa5).
After that, the CPU 13 restarts the search process (step Sa
6) and returns to step Sa1.

On the other hand, when the vehicle 7 is not approaching the card booth 1 in step Sa1, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the parking ticket 3 is inserted in the card reader 5 of the settlement machine 6 to determine whether the vehicle 7 is Confirms whether or not is about to leave (step Sa7). If the parking ticket 3 is not inserted in the card reader 5 in step Sa7, the process returns to step 1.

When the parking ticket 3 is inserted in the card reader 5 in step Sa7, the CPU 13 sends an interrupt command to stop the search process (step Sa8). In the next step Sa9, the CPU 13
Wait until the search process is interrupted.

If the search process is interrupted, the CPU 13
Receives the data read from the parking ticket 3 supplied by the card reader 5 and the current time data supplied by the timer 12 (step Sa10). Here, the CPU 13 retrieves and reads various parking data having the same parking ticket number from the data of the undelivered files stored in the storage device 14, and calculates the parking fee from the total parking time obtained from this (step Sa11). ). Here, CPU1
3 also collates the warehousing time written in the parking ticket 3 with the warehousing time stored in the storage device 14.

Next, the CPU 13 returns the calculated parking charge to
The parking charge of the displayed amount paid by the driver D or the like is received by the money unit while being displayed on a charge display device (not shown) of the settlement machine 6 (step Sa12).

After that, the CPU 13 indicates to the various parking data (that is, the data regarding the vehicle 7 that has been delivered) that the parking ticket numbers match in the storage device 14 to the effect that the payment of the parking fee and the delivery of the vehicle 7 have been completed normally. Data is additionally recorded (step Sa13). At this point CPU
The item 13 deletes the data of the vehicle 7 that has already been delivered that does not need to be held.

Thereafter, the CPU 13 confirms whether or not an instruction to stop all the processes is given by the operation panel 17 (step Sa14), and if there is no such instruction, the search process is restarted (step Sa15), and step Sa1. Return to.
On the other hand, in step Sa14, if the CPU 13 confirms the instruction to stop all the processes, it displays a message to the effect that all the processes will be stopped on the display device 16 (step Sa16) and stops all the processes.
