[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, parking meters have a system that allows you to park for a certain amount of time by inserting a 100 yen coin.If you do not have a 100 yen coin in your possession, you cannot use the meter, making it difficult to park for a long time. However, this method had drawbacks such as requiring additional coins to be inserted at predetermined intervals. In addition, coins inserted into the parking meter had to be retrieved manually, making it unnecessary to close the meter half-closed. In response, a proposal for a cashless parking meter that uses a cashless magnetic card instead of coins (
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-0093) has been proposed. According to this system, the amount and PIN number are magnetically recorded on a magnetic card, and when this card is inserted into a parking meter and the PIN number is entered, a timer is activated, and when parking is completed and the PIN number is entered, parking is completed. The charge is deducted from the magnetic card and the card is returned.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned card-type parking meter has a mechanism that requires you to enter your PIN number when paying the bill, so if you forget your PIN number, you will not be able to take out your card from the parking meter. , the parking meter continues to operate as the vehicle continues to park. Therefore, if a person who forgets his/her PIN number leaves the parking meter, there is a problem that the next person will not be able to park the car because the card will be left in the parking meter. Another problem was that the meter had to be opened in order to take it out. The purpose of this invention is to solve these problems and provide a card-type parking management system that allows you to retrieve your card even if you forget your card's PIN number by starting your car from the parking area.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems and achieves its purpose by providing a card-type memory device storing credit data, a parking sensor detecting the presence or absence of parking, and an hour meter accumulating parking time. a parking management device having a magnetic card type storage device; a reader device for reading data from a magnetic card type storage device; a fee settlement means for collecting a parking fee from the card type storage device according to when the card is closed; and a parking management device for discharging the card type storage device from the parking management device. an ejecting device that issues an ejection command for the card-type memory; and a reset circuit that causes the parking management device to eject the card-type memory when a parked car starts even though the card-type memory is present. A technological measure called a card-based parking management system was adopted.

[Effect]

According to the present invention configured as described above, it operates as follows. The card type storage body stores credit data of a predetermined amount. When the vehicle is parked in a parking area provided in the parking management device, a parking sensor detects the presence of a vehicle in the parking area and instructs the device to operate, thereby activating the parking management device. Therefore, when the memory device is inserted into the parking management device through the insertion slot and an arbitrary PIN number is entered using the human key, the verification circuit verifies this PIN number and the reader device is activated. The credit data in the memory is read and the hour meter starts accumulating the parking time. After parking, when you operate the input key and enter your PIN number, the fee settlement means collects the parking fee according to the parking time from the storage device, and the storage device is discharged from the parking management device by the operation of the discharge circuit. be done. If the memory device is inserted into the parking management device and the user forgets the password for key input after parking is completed, the vehicle is started from the parking area. Then, the reset circuit detects this and inputs a reset input, and the payment processing means performs payment processing for the storage body, and sends a storage body delivery signal to the delivery device. As a result, the memory is ejected without entering the password.

【Example】

Embodiments of the invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a magnetic recording card type storage body (hereinafter referred to as a magnetic card) 1 used in this system, in which a magnetic band IB is formed on the surface of a card IA made of resin or the like. The magnetic band IB magnetically records the start code, ID code, issuance approval code, code indicating the expiration date of the PIN, usage amount information, etc., and maintains the reliability and confidentiality of the magnetic card l. It is designed to be This magnetic card l is sold by a parking lot manager at a price of, for example, 1,000 yen or 5,000 yen each. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the concept of a parking management device implementing this system. A parking management M station 3 installed upright in the parking area 2 has a card insertion slot 3A and a card ejection slot 3B. Additionally, there is a parking sensor 4 that detects whether or not there is a car in the parking area 2 and outputs a signal indicating whether parking is available or not, and an hour meter 5 that measures parking time.
, a reader device 6 that reads information from the storage body, a parking fee settlement means 7, a delivery device rjt 8 that ejects the magnetic card 1 to the outside, an input key 9, and a data collation circuit that outputs an activation signal to the delivery device 8. When #i10 and the magnetic card l are stored in the parking management device 3 and a no-parking signal is input, the payment processing means performs payment processing;
It is equipped with a reset circuit 11 that outputs an ejection signal to the sending device, a confiscation device (1112), and a central control device CT.The overall configuration of this system will be explained based on the circuit block diagram and chart shown in FIG. The surface parking sensor 4 is of an ultrasonic type, and a wave transmitter 4A
, frequency transmitter 4B, time control circuit 4C1 receiving amplifier 4
D, a receiver 4E, and an integrating circuit 4F. When the output (a) of the power supply circuit pressurizes the parking sensor 4 with a voltage having a waveform as shown in chart (a) of FIG. The frequency oscillator 4B and receiving amplifier 4D are controlled by checking the time gate at which the wave can be received. The frequency oscillator 4B generates sampling pulses as shown in the chart (c) according to the input from the time control circuit 4c, and transmits the signals from the transmitter 4A to the parking area 2 to which it belongs.
Send to. When a car parks in parking area 2, the chart (
The reflected wave from the car as shown in (d) is received by the receiving amplifier 4D via the transfer device 4E, and the amplified received voltage is integrated by the integrating circuit 4F as shown in the chart (e), and the parking time is calculated from the integrating circuit 4F. The set pulse shown in the chart (f) is applied to the hour meter 5 for measuring the parking time to start measuring the parking time, and the unpaid fee display 13 and the parking time display 14 display the parking time. The time 1 control circuit 4C sets the sampling pulse width for transmission based on the output of the timing generator TG3, simultaneously controls the gate of the AND gate 1 for the time period, and then opens the gate to pass the received signal to the flip-flop F.
Set F. The reset set flip-flop FF is reset by the rising output of the timing generator TG2. The integration circuit 4F inputs the output of the timing generator (TG2) to the shift register SR, shifts the input from the flip-flop FF to the register SR, and causes the register SR to continuously output the logical value "l" n1 times or more. If the output is output, the output of the AND gate AND2 is set to the logic value "L" and is used as the vehicle presence detection output. If the register SR outputs the logic value "0" more than n2 times, the output of the IP gate NOH is is set to the logical value "l" and is used as the vehicle absence detection output. The hour meter 5 has a timekeeping function, and when the vehicle presence detection output signal of the output logic circuit (LGC) is input, it outputs an output pulse every minute, for example, and displays the display 14.
The parking time is displayed with a thin needle at the top. When the vehicle presence detection output signal is input, the parking indicator light 13
' is lit, and when the vehicle leaves the parking area 2 and an absent vehicle signal is input, the indicator light goes out. All mechanisms of the parking management 1*i13 are controlled by a central control unit CT consisting of a microcomputer. This central control unit CT includes, in addition to the integration circuit 4F and the hour meter 5, a data verification circuit 10 to which an input key 9 is connected, a card reader 6, a reset circuit 11. In addition, a parking fee settlement means 7 is connected. The payment means 7 includes a charge display 17 and a card writing device 16, as well as a card dispensing device 8 and a card confiscation device 1.
2. The printer 16 is connected. The magnetic card l is inserted into the card insertion slot 3A of the parking management device 3.
When the card reader 6 inserts the magnetic card 1 into the
Read various information. When the arm code number is input from the person key 9, the data collation circuit 10 reads and stores it, turns off the unpaid fee indicator 13, and causes the parking fee display 17 to display the amount. The card reader 6 detects information with a reading head 6A, and supplies the information read with a reading amplifier 6A to the CT for decoding. When the magnetic card 1 is inserted into the card reader 6, the insertion direction and recorded contents of the magnetic card 1 are checked to determine whether or not it is a legitimate card according to the reading output from the card reader 6. If so, “return the card”
If this is accepted, "card import information reproduction" is performed, and depending on whether the card is valid, the expiration date, PIN number, usage amount information, etc. are checked. If the result is negative, the card will be returned, but if the result is yes, the card will be placed on standby. A check is made to see if there is an allowable remaining time for parking by comparing it with the usage amount information on the magnetic card l, and if this is found not to be the case, the ``timer stop'' and ``card collection'' are performed. Furthermore, at the same time as the "timer start", the parking indicator light 13' lights up and the parking time display 14 displays the remaining time allowed for parking, so the user should confirm this and then
You can accomplish your tasks with peace of mind. Further, in response to the timer stop, the parking indicator light 13' is turned off, and the usage amount information indicates that the remaining amount is zero. After parking, the user operates the bathing key 9 to enter the password entered at the beginning, and the data verification circuit 1O verifies it and inputs it to the CT. As a result, the production means 7 starts the settlement process. The parking fee settlement means 7 is configured as follows. When a parking 1iFI pulse signal is sent from the hour meter 5, a calculation circuit 7A performs a charging operation on the pulse signal and inputs the result to a register 7B. The register 7B settles the charge from the amount written on the magnetic card 1 according to the input signal, stores it in the balance circuit 7C, and displays the amount on the parking fee display 17. On the other hand, when the balance becomes O in register 7B,
Sends a 0 signal to unpaid time '#17D. When the unpaid circuit 7D sends the O signal, the card writer 1
At the same time, a write command signal is transmitted to the card 5, the non-payment indicator light 13 is turned on, and a signal to confiscate the magnetic card 1 is transmitted to the card confiscation device 112. In the above configuration, when the initially input password is input to the input key 9, the data verification circuit 10 issues a write signal when it determines whether the password is correct or incorrect. Upon receiving the write signal, the parking fee adjustment means 7 stops the calculation in the calculation circuit 7A and issues a command to write the deducted amount from the register 7B into the card writer 15. At the same time, a print command is sent to the receipt printer 16. The card writer 15 is constructed as follows. As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 7, the reading head 15A detects the balance of charges stored in the magnetic card 1, the reading amplifier 15B reads it, and the reading circuit 15C reads the balance. The balance of the read magnetic card l is stored in the subtraction circuit 15D. On the other hand, the billing pulse signal transmitted from the settlement means 7 is inputted to the subtraction circuit 15D via the gate circuit 15E, and in the subtraction circuit 15D, the balance of the magnetic card l detected by the reading head 15A is calculated by the settlement means. 7, the balance after the subtraction is input to the recording equalizer 15F, and the remaining amount is recorded on the magnetic card 1 by the recording head 15G. Further, the subtraction circuit 15D inputs a signal to the recording equalizer 15F to record, and at the same time inputs the charge amount to the printer 16.
and command the receipt to be printed. Further, when the charge amount exceeds the balance of the magnetic card 1, a card confiscation command is input to the card confiscation device 112 together with the recording command. The confiscation device 12 includes an opening/closing body 12 provided in a card passage hole between the card writing device 15 and the sending device 8.
A and an electromagnetic actuator 12B, the opening/closing body 12A
is pivotally connected to the passageway side wall 3D via a shaft 12C, with its free end facing upward. Further, the electromagnetic actuator 12B is located at the lower end of the opening/closing body 12A.
A pulling wire 12D is connected at one end to the other end. The main actuator 12B is electrically connected to the writer 15, and when a confiscation command pulse is input, the electromagnetic switch is activated to pull the pull wire 12D, and the tip of the opening/closing body 12A is moved to the axis. It swings around 12C so as to close the card passage 3C. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the magnetic card 1 attempting to descend down the card passage 3C is guided by the opening/closing body 12A blocking the card passage 3C and confiscated into the card stock section S. Although not shown in the drawings since the configuration of the feeding device 8 can be changed as appropriate, it mainly consists of a belt conveyor, a feeding roller, and a pulse motor for driving the same. The magnetic card 1 is intermittently conveyed between the insertion port 3A and the ejection port 3B by inputting a predetermined pulse for each section. The printer 16 is a general thermal dot type printer. The reset circuit 11 provides the fourth gate circuit with respect to the gate circuit.
When the reflected wave of chart (d) shown in the figure becomes "0", a logical value "0" is output, and the reset signal of chart (g) is set to a logical value "1", and a logical sum "l" is output. According to the configuration, the output of this logical sum "l" causes the fee settlement means 7 to start paying the parking fee in the same way as the second input from the human key 9, and the following is the same as when the input by the human key 9 is made. Depending on the process, the fee is settled, the magnetic card l is ejected from the ejection port 3B, a receipt is printed, or the card is confiscated. As explained above, according to this embodiment, parking management v
Since the parking lot is card-based, parking lot users do not have to prepare coins and only need to carry the card.
The hassle of having to pay for 'r1fii is gone. Since the card cannot be used unless the personal identification number is entered using a person's key, there is no risk of the card being stolen from the parking management device. In addition, if you store your ID card in the storage device in advance, it will not be used by others without your permission even if you take out the card. If the vehicle is started from the parking area, the payment will be automatically made and the card can be retrieved, and the parking management device will not become unusable due to a jammed card. Furthermore, since cash is not used, the parking lot manager does not have to collect cash each time. The recording method of the memory card is not particularly limited, and may be of any configuration such as a magnetic card, an IC card, an optical card, and the second invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Design changes can be made as appropriate.

【Effect of the invention】

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following excellent effects. (1) Since it is a cashless card system, the user does not need to prepare cash, especially small change, and there is no need to add additional money even if a predetermined fee is charged at a predetermined time. It is convenient for parking lot users. (2) The card inserted in the parking management device cannot be stolen by anyone without knowing the PIN number, and if the ID code is stored in the card in advance, even if the card is lost, it can be used without knowing the PIN number. The advantage is that you can't. (3) Even if the user forgets the PIN after inserting the card into the parking management device, the user can recover the card by starting the car from the parking area. This is convenient because it does not become unusable due to clogging.
