  However, when the above-described mechanical parking device is used, for example, when the garage (parking space) is in the basement or upper stage, the garage needs to be moved to a height above the ground in order to enter and exit the garage. There is a problem that a waiting time occurs until the movement of the garage is completed. In other words, even if a system such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used, the user waits until the garage has been moved, and the convenience cannot be sufficiently improved. Therefore, when the user wants to quickly enter and exit the vehicle, for example, when he / she wants to get into the vehicle quickly, such as when going out in rainy weather, it may be inconvenient compared to a flat parking lot.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above reasons, and an object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot management system capable of reducing the waiting time during loading / unloading in a mechanical parking device.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a mechanical parking device having a plurality of movable garages corresponding to identification information assigned to each vehicle user in the apartment house, and a parking device for moving each garage Based on the control means for controlling the vehicle, the notification means for outputting the garage use notification indicating the scheduled use time of the garage including the identification information corresponding to any garage of the parking device, and the garage use notification notified from the notification means Thus, a control command for instructing movement of the garage is given to the control means when a predetermined time before the scheduled use time, so that the garage corresponding to the identification information is arranged at a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited at the scheduled use time. Command means for outputting.

  According to this configuration, based on the garage use notification notified from the notification means, the command means is used so that the garage corresponding to the identification information is moved to a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited at the scheduled use time. Since a control command instructing movement of the garage is output to the control means before a predetermined time before the scheduled time, the garage must be moved to a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited by the time the user uses the garage. Can do. Therefore, when the user enters and exits the vehicle, the waiting time until the garage movement is completed can be reduced, and the vehicle can be entered and exited immediately. As a result, when the user wants to quickly enter and exit the vehicle, for example, when he / she wants to get into the vehicle quickly, such as when he / she goes out in rainy weather, there is no inconvenience compared to a flat parking lot.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the notification means has an operation input unit that receives an operation input of a user, and is provided in each dwelling unit of the apartment house and allocated to each dwelling unit. It consists of a dwelling unit terminal that holds the identification information, and notifies the command means of the garage use notification including the identification information held by a predetermined operation on the operation input unit.

  According to this configuration, the user can get into the vehicle immediately after arriving in front of the parking device by performing a predetermined operation at each dwelling unit provided in each dwelling unit before going out to use the car. Sometimes it is possible to eliminate the waiting time until the movement of the garage is completed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the notification means includes a schedule storage unit that stores a garage use schedule registered in accordance with a user operation, and is based on the garage use schedule. The garage use notification indicating the scheduled use time is notified to the command means.

  According to this configuration, when a car use schedule is determined in advance, for example, at work every morning, if the use schedule is registered, there is no subsequent operation until the movement of the garage is completed at the time of delivery. The waiting time can be reduced.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the notification means comprises a car navigation device attached to a vehicle, and the estimated arrival time of the vehicle at the garage determined by the function as the car navigation device is used as the use device. As the scheduled time, the garage use notification is notified to the command means by communication.

  According to this configuration, when returning home from the destination, the estimated time of arrival determined by the function of the car navigation device is used as the scheduled use time of the garage, thereby reducing waiting time until the movement of the garage is completed at the time of warehousing. Can do.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, the garage installed near the parking device and designated by a user's manual input is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. Input means for notifying the control means to the control means, the control means giving priority to the garage movement control by the control command from the input means over the garage movement control by the control command from the command means. It is characterized by performing.

  According to this configuration, even when the control means performs the garage movement control by the control command from the command means, the garage movement control is performed with priority given to the control command from the input means. For example, when going out because of high errands, the garage can be preferentially controlled by operating the input means. Also, if the control command from the input means and the control command from the command means overlap, it will cause confusion instead of always giving priority to the later control command, so the operation performed near the parking device Priority can be avoided to avoid confusion.

  The invention of claim 6 comprises the human sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a person in the vicinity of the parking device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the control means is present by the human sensor. If detected, the garage movement control is executed by the control command from the command means after waiting for the human sensor to stop detecting the presence of the person.

  According to this configuration, there is an advantage that the parking device can be prevented from suddenly starting when a person is present near the parking device, and safety can be improved.

  According to the present invention, based on the garage use notification notified from the notification means, the command means moves the garage corresponding to the identification information to a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited at the scheduled use time. Since the control command for instructing the movement of the garage is output to the control means before the predetermined time, the garage can be moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded by the time the user uses the garage. There is an advantage that the waiting time at the time of entering / exiting in the mechanical parking device can be reduced.

The gateway 1 can also communicate with the human sensor 4 and can receive a human body detection result by the human sensor 4. In addition to network security functions such as a firewall, the gateway 1 has a function of managing the device configuration in the apartment house H1, notifying information to a set group, and a function of communicating with the center server 5. Have.

  The in-house panel 2 is arranged for each dwelling unit of the apartment house H1, and includes a control panel capable of monitoring and controlling in-home devices (lighting, electric lock, etc.) by a touch panel display. The in-house panel 2 constructs a condominium system together with the center server 5 and can perform monitoring and control of in-house devices, sound a security alarm / fire alarm, and set a security when going out by operating a touch panel display. Further, the home panel 2 is equipped with a Web browser, and the home panel 2 can also check the Web content through communication with the gateway 1 and the center server 5.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the parking system 3 includes a mechanical parking device 31 having a plurality of movable garages, a control unit 32 that controls the parking device 31 to move each garage, and a user. Input means 33 for receiving the operation input.

  Here, the parking device 31 is a multi-stage parking device 31 that can store a vehicle in multiple stages in the vertical direction (vertical direction), and even if the space occupied on the ground is the same, the parking device 31 is more than a flat parking lot. Vehicles can be parked. In other words, since the parking device 31 has a plurality of garages (pallets) each capable of receiving vehicles, in order to enter and exit the target garage, the target garage is moved to at least the ground floor. It is necessary to let This type of parking device 31 has various storage methods such as a vertical circulation method, a horizontal circulation method, and a multi-layer circulation method, and any of these methods may be adopted here.

  The control means 32 is provided in association with the parking device 31, and by controlling a motor or the like that is a drive source of the parking device 31, a target garage can be placed at a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited (ground surface). It has a function to move to the floor. The control means 32 may be provided integrally with the parking device 31, or a control panel that functions as the control means 32 may be provided separately from the parking device 31, and the control panel and the parking device 31 may be connected. .

  The input means 33 is configured by an operation panel installed in the vicinity of the parking device 31. That is, the operation panel has a function of accepting a user's operation input, and notifies the control means 32 of a control command instructing movement of the garage according to the input content. Upon receiving the control command, the control means 32 controls the parking device 31 according to the control command. Specifically, when the user selects a target garage (for example, by inputting a garage ID assigned to each garage), the selected garage is placed at a position (ground floor) where the vehicle can be entered and exited. A control command for movement is generated. The input means is not limited to being provided separately from the parking device 31 and may be provided integrally with the parking device 31.

  On the other hand, the center server 5 prepares Web contents for the condominium system and provides various services such as weather forecast to the in-house panel 2. Further, the center server 5 provides contents accessible from the terminal device 7 via the Internet Ne1, thereby enabling an indirect access to the condominium system even from outside the apartment house H1.

  Furthermore, an internet connection function is added to the car navigation device 6, and the center server 5 can communicate with the car navigation device 6 via the Internet Ne 1, and arrives from the car navigation device 6 at home (a collective housing H 1). You can receive information such as scheduled time.

  By the way, in the parking lot management system of this embodiment, the following structure is employ | adopted so that the parking apparatus 31 can be controlled not only by operation of the input means (operation panel) 33 but by operation of the in-home panel 2.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the function as the notification means 21 that outputs the garage use notification indicating the scheduled use time of the garage including identification information corresponding to any one garage of the parking device 31 in the in-house panel 2. Is provided. Further, the gateway 1 receives a garage use notification from the notification means 21 and outputs a control command for instructing movement of the garage to the control means 32 based on the garage use notification, and from the memory. The function as the storage means 12 is provided.

  The notification unit 21 notifies the command unit 11 of a garage use notification when a predetermined operation is performed on the home panel 2. Here, the identification information corresponding to the garage included in the garage use notification is not the unique garage ID assigned to each garage of the parking device 31 but the dwelling unit ID assigned to each dwelling unit of the apartment house H1. . That is, the in-house panel 2 is assigned to the dwelling unit in which each is installed and has a dwelling unit ID in advance, and notifies the command means 11 of a garage use notification including the dwelling unit ID. The association between the dwelling unit ID and the garage ID is made by previously registering a control table representing the correspondence relationship between the dwelling unit ID, the dwelling unit position, and the garage ID in the storage unit 12 of the gateway 1 as shown in Table 1 below. Yes. Therefore, in the command means 11 that has received the garage use notification, the garage ID corresponding to the identification information (dwelling unit ID) included in the garage use notice is also referred to by referring to the control table of the storage means 12 of the gateway 1. Can be specified.

  The scheduled use time may be specifically indicated in the garage use notification as “XX hour XX minutes”, or may be derived from the time when the garage use notification is notified from the notification means 21. In the former case, the time designated by the user on the in-house panel 2 becomes the scheduled use time as it is. On the other hand, in the latter case, the command unit 11 sets a time obtained by adding a certain time (for example, 10 minutes) to the time when the garage use notification is received (current time). The current time may be obtained from the clock of the gateway 1, or the garage use notification transmission time may be included in the garage use notification and transmitted from the in-house panel 2, and this time may be used as the current time.

  The command means 11 designates the garage ID of the garage corresponding to the identification information included in the garage use notice based on the garage use notice notified from the notifying means 21, and uses the garage at the scheduled use time. A control command including the garage ID is generated so as to reach a position where the car can be delivered. The control means 32 that has received the control command from the command means 11 controls the parking device 31 according to the content of the control command.

  The basic operation of the parking lot management system having the above configuration will be briefly described below.

  First, when a predetermined operation by the user is performed on the in-house panel 2, the notification means 21 of the in-house panel 2 notifies the gateway 1 of a garage use notification. Here, the garage use notification from the in-house panel 2 includes at least the dwell unit ID of the dwelling unit in which the in-home panel 2 is installed and the scheduled use time of the garage.

  Next, the operation of the command means 11 that has received the garage use notification will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the gateway 1 receives the garage use notification from the in-house panel 2 (S1: Yes), the command means 11 of the gateway 1 plans to control a time that is a predetermined required time back from the scheduled use time included in the garage use notification. The time is set, the control is awaited, and the control waits until the scheduled control time (S2). The required time is the time required to move the target garage to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. The required time may be a value that is uniformly determined for all the garages of the parking device 31 or may be a value that is different for each garage. Moreover, when the position of each garage changes at any time, required time may be calculated at any time based on the current position of each garage.

  When the current time becomes the scheduled control time (S3: Yes, S4: Yes), the command unit 11 in the control waiting state has a garage ID associated with the dwelling unit ID in the garage use notification from the control table in the storage unit 12. And a control command including the garage ID is given to the control means 32 so as to move the garage with the garage ID (S5).

  When receiving the control command from the command unit 11, the control unit 32 moves the garage corresponding to the garage ID in the control command to a position on the ground floor where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. As a result, at the scheduled use time, the target garage has moved to a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited, and if the user arrives at the garage at the scheduled use time, the vehicle is immediately delivered. can do.

  Here, when the scheduled use time is designated at the same time for a plurality of garages, the command means 11 is assumed to move the garages to a position at which entry / exit can be performed in the order in which the garage use notification is received. In this case, if the parking device 3 has a structure in which only one vehicle can be entered / exited, and the garage can be rearranged, the control means 32 performs the garage in the order in which the entry / exit is performed. By rearranging, it is possible to quickly move the garage to be moved to a position where entry / exit can be performed next.

  In addition, when the command unit 11 of the gateway 1 tries to notify the control unit 32 of the control command, when there is an input indicating that a human body is detected from the human sensor 4 arranged in the vicinity of the parking device 3, It is configured not to issue a control command for ensuring safety. Here, the gateway 1 is configured to receive a detection signal from the human sensor 4 when a human body is detected by the human sensor 4 disposed in the vicinity of the parking device 3. Prior to sending the control command to the control unit 32 (S5) in the flowchart of FIG. 3 described above, the command unit 11 determines whether or not a detection signal is input from the human sensor 4, and if there is an input, step S5 is performed. It is assumed that the process returns to step S3 without executing the process. At this time, in order to follow that the processing of step S5 is stopped, the command unit 11 may notify the notification unit 21 that is the transmission source of the garage use notification that the control has not been performed. You may perform the process of step S5 anew at the time of the input from the sensation sensor 4 being lost.

  Here, it is desirable for the human sensor 4 to be able to detect not only people around the parking device 3 but also people who are in the garage. It is desirable to be able to detect similarly. Furthermore, when the garage of the parking device 3 is controlled to move, it is desirable that a warning be issued by sound or light before the garage starts to move so as to call attention to surrounding people.

  According to the configuration described above, when the in-house panel 2 provided in each dwelling unit notifies the gateway 1 of the scheduled use time of the garage in advance, at the time of entry / exit in the mechanical parking device 3 There is an advantage that the waiting time can be reduced. Therefore, if the user wants to enter and exit the vehicle in a hurry, for example, when he / she wants to get into the vehicle quickly, such as when going out in rainy weather, the user can enter / exit immediately by arriving at the scheduled time of use. Don't feel inconvenient.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the moving operation of the garage of the parking device 31 can be directly performed by the input means (operation panel) 33 as described above. That is, when the user designates a garage ID of a target garage and performs a predetermined operation on an operation panel installed in the vicinity of the parking device 31, a control command including the garage ID is input from the input means 33 to the control means 32. The control means 32 notified of and receiving the control command moves the target garage to a position on the ground floor where entry / exit is possible. Here, when both the control command generated by the input unit 33 by the operation of the operation panel and the control command from the command unit 11 are received by the control unit 32, the control unit 32 receives from the input unit (operation panel) 33. Control shall be prioritized. In short, the control means 32 receives the control command from both directions of the command means 11 and the input means 33, so that the control from the input means 33 is performed when the control timing of the parking device 31 by these control commands overlaps. Execute the command with priority.

  Therefore, when the control means 32 receives the control command as shown in FIG. 4 (S11: Yes), the control means 32 specifies whether the transmission source of the control command A is the command means 11 or the input means 33 ( S12). Here, when the control unit 32 receives the control command B from the command unit 11 and operates the parking device 31 (S13: Yes), the control unit 32 receives the control command A from the input unit 33 (S14: Yes) stops the operation of the parking device 31, switches to control by the control command A from the input means 33 (S15), and again executes control by the control command B from the command means 11 after a predetermined delay predetermined time ( S16). Here, the control by the control command B from the command unit 11 may be performed as soon as the control by the control command from the input unit 33 is completed without waiting for the delay time to elapse. On the other hand, if the received control command A is not from the input means 33 (S14: No), the control command A is retained until the control command B completes the control (S17).

  When the control unit 32 receives the control command B from the input unit 33 and operates the parking device 31 (S18: Yes), when the control command A is received from the command unit 11, the control unit 32 The control by the control command A is reserved (S19), and the control by the control command from the command means 11 is executed again after a predetermined delay time has elapsed. On the other hand, the control means 32 does not receive a control command from either the command means 11 or the input means 33 (S13: No, S18: No), and receives the control command A from either the command means 11 or the input means 33. If received, control is executed in accordance with the control command A (S20). Note that the priority determination of the control command is performed by the control unit 32 here, but may be performed by the command unit 11 in the gateway 1.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the function as the notification means 21 described above is provided not only in the home panel 2 but also in the terminal device 7. Here, if the notification means 21 of the terminal device 7 is used, it is possible to move the garage to a position where the vehicle can enter in accordance with the return time by transmitting a garage use notification from the outside. . The garage use notification from the terminal device 7 is not notified directly to the gateway 1 but is notified via the center server 5. In this case, the dwell unit ID included in the garage use notification may be input directly by the user using an input function (such as a numeric keypad) of the terminal device 7, or the dwell unit ID may be input to the in-house panel 2, gateway 1, or center server 5 in advance. It may be registered in association with the identifier of the terminal device 7, and the dwell unit ID may be identified from the correspondence relationship with the identifier of the terminal device 7.

  Further, it is assumed that the function as the notification means 21 is also provided in the car navigation device 6. Here, as shown in Table 2 below, a conversion table in which the dwelling unit ID and the identifier (vehicle identification ID) of the car navigation device 6 are associated one-to-one is registered in the center server 5 in advance and is included in the garage use notification. The dwelling unit ID is recognized from the correspondence with the vehicle identification ID.

  In this configuration, the car navigation device 6 calculates an estimated arrival time when the vehicle arrives at home (the apartment house H1), and sends a garage use notification including the estimated arrival time from the car navigation device 6 to the gateway 1 via the center server 5. Can be notified. In other words, when the destination is set, the car navigation device 6 can search for a route between the vehicle position of the vehicle and the destination and calculate a time when the vehicle is expected to arrive at the destination. By setting, it is possible to calculate the estimated time of arrival at the home (estimated arrival time). At this time, the center server 5 converts the vehicle identification ID received from the car navigation device 6 into a corresponding dwell unit ID on the conversion table, and notifies the gateway 1 by including the dwell unit ID in the garage use notification. When the gateway 1 receives the garage use notification including the dwelling unit ID and the estimated arrival time, the gateway 1 uses the estimated arrival time as the scheduled use time of the garage with the garage ID associated with the dwelling unit ID in the control table.

  The configuration of the above embodiment is merely an example of the present invention. For example, the command unit 11 and the storage unit 12 may be provided in the center server 5 instead of the gateway 1. Further, although the control means 32 is a part of the parking system 3, it may be provided in the gateway 1.

(Embodiment 2)
In the parking lot management system of this embodiment, the in-house panel 2 has an outing button (a hardware switch or an icon displayed on the screen of the touch panel display), and the garage is automatically used when the outing button is pressed. The point which is comprised so that notification may be notified to the gateway 1 is different from the parking lot management system of Embodiment 1.

  In the present embodiment, the scheduled use time is derived from the time when the outing button is pressed and the garage use notification is notified from the notification means 21. However, since the distance from the dwelling unit to the location where the parking device 3 is located varies depending on the dwelling unit, the time taken to move to the location where the parking device 3 is located after the outing button is pressed (hereinafter referred to as “travel time”). ) Is not uniform and varies from unit to unit.

  Therefore, the storage device 12 of the gateway 1 stores in advance a control table that represents the correspondence relationship between the dwelling unit ID, dwelling unit position, travel time, and garage ID as shown in Table 3 below. Therefore, the command means 11 of the gateway 1 obtains the travel time corresponding to the dwelling unit ID included in the garage use notification from the control table similarly stored in the storage means 12 of the gateway 1, and adds the travel time to the current time. Is the scheduled use time. The current time may be obtained from the clock of the gateway 1, or the transmission time of the garage use notification may be included in the garage use notification from the in-house panel 2 and transmitted, and this time may be used as the current time.

  According to the configuration described above, when the user goes out with the vehicle, the user only needs to press the go-out button on the in-house panel 2 and then go out. It will be moved to a position where entry / exit is possible. Therefore, the user is not particularly aware of the time, and the waiting time when leaving the vehicle can be eliminated by a simple operation of simply pressing the go-out button.

  Other configurations and functions are the same as those of the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 3)
The parking lot management system of the present embodiment is the same as the parking lot management system of the first embodiment in that the notification means 21 includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) that stores a garage use schedule registered in accordance with a user operation. Is different.

  More specifically, the notification means 21 includes a center server 5 having a schedule storage unit, and a terminal device 7 equipped with a Web browser, and a Web content schedule capable of registering a garage usage schedule from the terminal device 7 or the like. Configure the system. A schedule is registered in the schedule storage unit of the center server 5 for each dwelling unit. Therefore, as shown in Table 4 below, a management table that manages the dwell unit ID and the schedule in association with the login ID and password for the schedule system assigned to each dwelling unit is stored in the schedule storage unit.

  The notification unit 21 automatically notifies the garage use notification including the schedule registered in the management table to the command unit 11 of the gateway 1 every time the schedule is updated. At this time, the notification means 21 shall include the scheduled going out date and time using the car in the schedule in the garage use notification as the scheduled use time (including date and day of the week) of the garage. Therefore, the gateway 1 that has received the garage use notification registers the scheduled use time included in the garage use notification in the storage unit 12 in association with the dwell unit ID included in the garage use notification. Here, a plurality of scheduled use times can be registered for each dwelling unit in the storage unit 12. Therefore, the command means 11 can output a control command for controlling the parking device 3 as scheduled.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the center server 5 as the notification unit 21 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The user can log in to the schedule system by accessing the center server 5 using a Web browser such as the terminal device 7 and inputting the login ID and password (S21). After the login, when a new schedule is registered in the management table (S22: Yes), the center server 5 acquires the corresponding dwelling unit ID from the management table (S23), and the newly registered schedule (new) The garage use notification including the registered garage use schedule time) is transmitted to the gateway 1.

  Note that the timing for transmitting the garage use notification to the gateway 1 is immediately after a new schedule is registered here, but is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined time (for example, AM 0:00) may be used. It is good also as the predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) before the registered going-out date.

  According to the configuration described above, since the scheduled date and time of going out by car included in the schedule is used as the scheduled usage time of the garage, the garage can be automatically entered and exited at the scheduled date and time of going out simply by registering the schedule. It will be moved to the correct position. Therefore, the user can eliminate the waiting time when leaving the vehicle without performing a special operation when going out. In particular, if you go out by car at the same time every day, such as when you go to work, registering the attendance time in the schedule will allow you to leave the vehicle without waiting without any further operation, greatly improving convenience. .

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the center server 5 is used as the notification unit 21 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a schedule storage unit is provided in the home panel 2 or the gateway 1, and the home panel 2 or the gateway 1 is used as the notification unit 21.
