Even in the case of a large motor pool such as a parking area, we support vehicle discovery by storing site maps or area numbers, or recording parking positions using GPS (Global Positioning System) etc. be able to.

  However, in order to find a specific vehicle from a large number of unspecified vehicles, vehicle information corresponding to the specific vehicle regarding the vehicle type, color, serial number, etc. is printed and brought, and visual confirmation is performed in the vicinity of the specific vehicle. There is a need. Therefore, even if the range where the target vehicle is located is narrowed by the site map, area number, position information using GPS, etc., a vast freedom such as a motor pool where vehicles of the same vehicle type or vehicles of the same color exist In space, it is often difficult to focus an object visually, and it is not easy to find a particular vehicle from a large number of unspecified vehicles accurately, quickly and with little effort.

  Therefore, there is known a technology in which a beacon device is installed as a position marker in a compartment of a motor pool and a parking state is grasped based on reception of a beacon signal (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  There is also known a technique for carrying out position management by making the vehicle correspond to the vehicle compartment by mounting a beacon device on the vehicle and receiving a beacon signal by a receiver installed in the vehicle compartment of the motor pool. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).
