A parking time service according to purchase can be easily realized without requiring a read / write type authentication machine.

  According to the QR code parking ticket authentication system according to claim 2, the mobile phone of each affiliated store captures the parking ticket information by capturing the QR code of the parking ticket, and purchases the parking ticket information and its parking ticket number. By providing a mobile phone that incorporates an application program to send the discount information by a mail address of a parking server designated in advance, parking ticket information and discount information can be obtained by a simple operation at each store. There is an advantage that can be sent to.

It is a figure explaining the structure of the Example of this invention. It is a figure which shows an example of the data in a parking lot server. It is a figure explaining the conventional system.

FIG. 1 is a system diagram of an embodiment of a system for realizing the present invention. In FIG. 1, 101 is a parking ticket issuing machine installed in a parking lot, 102 is a mobile phone with a camera provided in a partner store, 103 is a fully automatic settlement machine installed in a parking lot, and 104 is arranged in a parking lot. A parking lot server 105 connected to the parking ticket issuing machine 101 and the fully automatic settlement machine 103 in the parking lot via the in-field communication network is the Internet.
The parking ticket issuing machine 101 is installed in a parking lot and issues a parking ticket which is a QR code of a parking code ID information such as a parking lot code, the parking ticket issuing machine number (ticketing machine number), and a parking ticket number. ID information and issue time are transmitted to a parking lot server.
The mobile phone 102 with a camera has a camera function, reads the QR code of a parking ticket photographed by the camera, and reads information and discount information such as a purchase amount and a discount time inputted using the numeric keys of the phone. Is preinstalled in an application program that can be sent to the e-mail address of the parking lot server 104 designated in advance by e-mail.
Fully automatic settlement machine 103 reads the QR code of the parking ticket, makes an inquiry to parking server 104 based on the parking ticket number information of the read QR code, and determines the parking ticket corresponding to the QR code ID information from parking server 104. The parking fee is calculated based on information on the purchase amount or discount time by the user, the issue time, the current time, and a predetermined discount calculation formula.
The parking lot server 104 is installed in the parking lot, is connected to the parking lot parking ticket issuing machine 101 and the fully automatic settlement machine 103 through the on-site communication network, and is connected to the Internet 105, and can receive e-mails. The parking lot code at the time of ticket issuance, parking ticket issuing machine number, ID information such as parking ticket number and issuing time are received and recorded from the parking ticket issuing machine 101, and the parking ticket read by the mobile phone with camera 102 of each affiliated store The purchase amount or discount time information input from the camera-equipped telephone 102 together with the QR code information is recorded for each parking ticket ID information, and the parking ticket is obtained by an inquiry with the QR code from the fully automatic settlement machine 103. Discount information based on the purchase amount or discount time recorded together with the ID information is returned to the fully automatic settlement machine 103. FIG. 2 shows an example of data in the parking lot server.

When the user's vehicle enters the parking lot, a vehicle detector (not shown) detects the entry, and the parking ticket issuing machine 101 is installed in the parking lot, and a parking ticket ID such as a parking lot code, a ticket issuing machine number, a parking ticket number, etc. The information is converted into a QR code, printed on a parking ticket, and issued to the user. At this time, the parking ticket issuing machine 101 transmits the entrance time and ID information regarding the issued parking ticket to the parking server 104. For each parking ticket issuing machine, the parking lot server 104 can record the parking ticket number and the entrance information associated with the parking ticket number, the purchase amount, the discount time, and the data of the mail sender. From the information sent from the parking ticket issuing machine, record the parking code, parking ticket issuing machine number, parking ticket number, and entrance time. The user picks up a parking ticket and parks in a suitable parking space.
When a user shop at a partner store with the parking lot, the store clerk shoots the QR code of the parking ticket presented by the customer customer with the camera-equipped mobile phone 102 provided in the store, and the purchase amount or discount Enter the time using the numeric keys. Thereafter, the camera-equipped mobile phone 102 automatically transmits information on the purchase amount or discount time together with the ID information to the parking lot server 104 by e-mail.
The parking lot server 104 that has received the purchase price or discount time information and ID information records the discount information based on the purchase price or discount time and the name of the store from which the mail is sent for each parking ticket ID. At this time, when the parking ticket ID has already been recorded by shopping at another affiliated store, a new data value is added to the previous data and updated.

When the user goes out to the parking lot and advances the vehicle to the fully automatic settlement machine 103 at the exit and inserts the parking ticket into a predetermined location, the parking ticket ID is read from the QR code reader, and parking is performed based on the parking ID. An inquiry is made to the car park server 104. The parking lot server 104 responds to the inquiry from the fully automatic checkout machine 103 with discount information based on the purchase amount or discount time together with ID information including the entrance time of the corresponding parking ticket. The fully automatic settlement machine 103 calculates the parking fee based on the purchase amount or discount time information by the user of the parking ticket corresponding to the parking ticket number from the parking lot server 104, the issue time, the current time, and a predetermined discount calculation formula. The calculation result is displayed on a display (not shown). The user is informed of the shortage by this display, and is allowed to participate when an appropriate parking fee is collected.
