Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify hardware and to improve security in a two-wheeled vehicle parking lot managing system. SOLUTION: A management computer 1 executes the unitary management of ID data registered in a gate controller 3 with a telephone line 2. The gate controller 3 controls the opening/closing of a gate 4 to permit entering to a parking lot only when ID data registered in the controller 3 coincides with ID data of an ID card 6 which is issued to a contractor. ID data of the contractor is updated or cancelled by the management computer 1 based on usage fee deducting information in a financial organ. Besides, the computer 1 executes an invalidating processing concerning ID data of the lost card, updates ID data registered in the controller 3 and restricts the two-wheeled vehicle to entering to the parking lot.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot management system for centrally managing a plurality of parking lots for holding bicycles and motorcycles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in the invention previously filed by the applicant (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-42172), there has been a system for centrally managing a plurality of automated parking lots for motorcycles. However, the conventional system is a system in which a card vending machine, a period card renewal machine, and the like are installed in each parking lot and a fee is collected by selling a prepaid card. When a card was purchased from a card vending machine with cash and a valid term was purchased, the contract had to be renewed by putting cash into the card renewal machine before the expiration date.

[0003]

In the conventional system,
The manager had to visit each parking lot regularly or have a clerk stationed to collect parking fees and replenish sales cards. In addition, the user must pay cash each time the contract is renewed, renew the card data, or purchase a new card, especially for long-term users, this procedure that occurs regularly, It was a heavy burden.

[0004] Further, when a user loses a card, it is difficult to lose the effect of the card, and it is impossible to restrict entry of a person who has obtained the lost card into a parking lot. In addition, there is a security problem in that anyone can purchase the card and enter the parking lot, and an unspecified number of people can freely enter the parking lot.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the contract is made only when the ID data of the ID card issued to the contractor matches the ID data registered in the gate control device installed in the parking lot. And a management computer that integrally manages the ID data registered in the gate control device via a telephone line as needed.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a motorcycle parking management system of the present invention.
The three parking lots of the parking lot A, the parking lot B, and the parking lot C are configured to be connected as necessary through the management computer 1 and the telephone line 2. The parking lot A includes a gate control device 3, a gate 4, and a card reader 5. The entire parking lot is surrounded by fences and the like, and entry and exit from other than the gate 4 is restricted. The other two parking lots have the same configuration, and detailed descriptions are omitted in the drawings.

In the parking lot of the present invention, people, bicycles, motorbikes and the like enter and exit only at the gate 4 which is a dedicated entrance and exit, and the gate 4 is automatically opened and closed by a signal from the gate control device 3. It is a mechanism to do. Gate 4
The opening and closing mechanism is appropriately selected according to the installation situation, such as a rotary type or a slide type.

[0008] A card reader 5 installed near the gate 4
Reads the ID data of the ID card 6 issued to the contractor who has contracted to use the parking lot A, and transmits the read ID data to the gate control device 3.

In the gate control device 3, ID data of the contractor who uses the parking lot A is registered, and the ID data transmitted from the card reader 5 matches the ID data registered in the gate control device 3. Only when this is done, the gate control device 3 sends a signal to the gate 4 to automatically open and close the gate 4. As a result, entry of the contractor having the ID card 6 into the parking lot A is permitted.

[0010] The ID data registered in the gate control device 3 is managed by the management computer 1. For example, when the registration period of the ID data of the contractor who contracts with the parking lot A expires, the ID data is automatically registered. The registration data deletion processing of the contractor is performed. If the contract fee is deducted from the financial institution 7 before the expiration of the period, the registration period of the ID data of the contractor on the management computer 1 is updated with the debit data, and the registration of the ID data on the gate control device 3 side. Is maintained.

In addition, registration of ID data of a new contractor,
The management computer 1 collectively processes the registration change such as deletion of the registration data in response to the cancellation request from the contractor side and the invalidation processing of the ID data based on the notification of the loss of the ID card 6. Each time, the ID data registered in the gate control device 3 is changed via the telephone line 2.

The management computer 1 stores information on parking lots,
It has a processing program for defining and registering ID data information, contractor information, and handling financial institution information.

The information on the parking lot among the information processed by the management computer 1 includes the location and name of the parking lot, the available time, the usage status such as the allowable number of parking lots and the number of empty parking lots, the parking lot or the parking object. It contains information groups such as usage fees for each.

The information of the ID data includes information groups of ID data registered in the gate control device of each parking lot, ID data of an ID card issued to a contractor, and ID data of a lost or damaged ID card. In.

The contractor information includes a group of information such as personal information such as the name of the contractor and details of the contract.

The information of the handling financial institution includes the financial institution that can pay the usage fee of the contractor, the processing date of the usage fee deduction,
It also contains a group of information such as information on the status of payment of money due to withdrawal.

As described above, the management computer 1 has a program for collectively managing all information on a plurality of parking lots. Gate control device 3 provided on the parking lot side
Has a function of executing a management program during the use time (business hours) of the parking lot.
The control based on the control information sent from the control computer 1 is performed independently of the management computer 1.

The information processed by the management computer 1 is:
The present invention is not limited to the information group described above, and may be added or deleted as appropriate. When managing four or more parking lots, a program will be added accordingly.

In the embodiment of the present invention described above, the ID
Although no particular reference is made to the card 6 and the card reader 5, it is clear that either a magnetic card system or a contactless card system may be used.
In addition, a special ID card attached to a bicycle or a motorcycle may be added to the information other than the one carried by the contractor.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, the management of a plurality of parking lots by the management computer enables the cancellation of the contract, the change of the contract contents, the new registration, and the invalidation of the card due to the loss of the card. And the like can be quickly performed, and can be reflected in real time on the ID data registered in the gate control device of each parking lot.

[0021] Further, by making the method of paying the contract fee the debit of the financial institution, the burden on the contract renewal work of the contractor can be eliminated, and the trouble of collecting the charge of the administrator and replenishing the prepaid card can be omitted. . Also, card vending machines,
A period card renewal machine becomes unnecessary, and cost can be reduced and hardware can be simplified. Once the operation is started, each parking lot is independently controlled and only needs to be connected to the management computer only when the parking lot is changed, so that the management becomes easy.

Further, since the opportunity for both the manager and the contractor to use cash is reduced, security is improved. Since it is impossible for anyone other than the contractor (whose identity is known) having the ID card to enter the parking lot, the security in that respect is also improved.
