Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a parking lot management device that automatically manages the entry and exit of vehicles and the calculation and collection of parking fees under the supervision of a microcomputer, etc. The present invention relates to a parking lot management device equipped with means for preventing use.

2. Description of the Related Art Parking lot management devices having various structures have been proposed in the past, in which the entry and exit of vehicles, calculation and collection of parking fees, etc. are automatically managed using a microcomputer or the like. Although such an automatic management device makes it possible to make parking lots unmanned, there are the following problems associated with unmanned parking. In other words, in such parking lots with unmanned automatic reception desks, parking tickets are issued with entry time and other information stamped or magnetically written on them, but after the parking ticket issued at the reception desk is removed from the issuing machine, the vehicle cannot be parked. The parking ticket is taken away without allowing the parking ticket to enter the parking lot, and other cars in the parking lot that were already parked with the parking ticket are given hot water, and the parking ticket is released for a parking fee for a shorter parking time than the actual parking time. There will be unauthorized use. □8, hot. ;) □ For this purpose, conventionally, at the entrance of a parking lot, we check whether the person entered the parking lot after taking out a parking ticket, or whether the person entered the parking lot without entering the parking lot and returned to the parking lot without entering the parking lot. It has been proposed to prevent unauthorized use of the above-mentioned IC card by recording the ID number only). However, according to this method, it is necessary to register the number of the ticket entered (or the number and the time of entry) on the device side, and therefore, the device side requires a registration area for all parking spaces. There were problems such as increasing demand and high prices.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to prevent unauthorized use of parking tickets at the time of leaving the parking lot in the above-mentioned unmanned parking management system. In order to achieve this purpose, a secret number is recorded on the 6-line parking ticket along with the entry time, and when the ticket is taken out from the issuing machine, the issue time, that is, the entry time and the above secret number are recorded. While the number is registered in the memory of the automatic fare adjustment machine installed at the exit gate, the registration of the secret number is deleted on the condition that the vehicle passes through the entrance gate and the vehicle is detected at the completion of entry, and the secret number is inserted at the time of exit. Its feature is that the registered contents corresponding to the parking ticket are checked to manage unauthorized use of the parking ticket.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1(A) is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a parking lot management device according to the present invention, in which 10 indicates a parking lot 20.
Parking ticket issuing machine installed at entrance 2OA, 12 is entrance 2
This is the first artificial vehicle detector such as a loop coil installed on the entrance side of 0A. When a vehicle advancing in the direction of arrow PA steps on this detector 12, a detection signal f1 is issued from the detector 12 to issue a parking ticket. Based on this signal f1, the parking ticket issuing machine 10 issues a parking ticket PT with the current time (entry time) and an appropriate secret number (hereinafter referred to as secret number) punched or magnetically written to the issuing port 10a. Issued on. Next, the user takes this issued parking ticket PT to the issuing gate 10a.
When extracted from the warehouse, a registration signal f2 for registering the above-mentioned entry time and secret number is sent to the register of the "Il! processing unit 14' built in the automatic fare calculator 14 provided at the exit 20B. Output.

In addition, if the user does not take out the parking ticket PT issued to the issuing gate 10a and returns home without taking it out, the waste ticket processing machine built in the parking ticket issuing machine 10 that is in use for a certain period of time will remove the parking ticket PT from the parking ticket issuing machine 10.
Although the IWPT is designed to discard tickets, the discarded ticket processing machine, the means for recording the entry time and secret number for the parking FjPT, and the means for detecting the removal of the parking ticket PT are all known techniques. Since it can be dealt with by means,
It is omitted on the drawing.

Next, reference numeral 16 is provided on the passageway of the storage entrance 2OA and is activated by the gate opening signal 3 outputted from the parking ticket issuing machine 10 to open the entrance gate 16G, allowing the vehicle to enter. Further, 18 is a second artificial vehicle detector consisting of a loop coil or the like provided in the entrance passage inside the entrance gate 16G, and when this detector 18 detects a vehicle entering as the entrance gate 16G is opened, Automatic fare adjustment machine 1 mentioned above
A warehousing confirmation signal f5 is output to the memory in 4, and the entrance gate 16G is closed in front. In this way, the vehicle that has passed through the entrance 2OA is entered into a predetermined parking area of the parking lot 20 as indicated by arrows PA and f, and the entry is completed.

22 is a first exit vehicle detector installed at the exit 20B of the parking lot 20, and this detector 2 is made of, for example, a loop coil.
When the vehicle 2 detects an exiting vehicle, an acceptance start signal f6 is output to the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 also installed at the exit 20B. When the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 receives and receives this acceptance start signal f6, it opens the parking ticket acceptance port 14a to enable the insertion of the parking ticket PT, and also performs arithmetic processing such as checking for unauthorized use of the parking ticket PT and calculating the parking fee. becomes readable and writable. In this state, if [...,...11] parking ticket PT is inserted into the above-mentioned receiving port 14a, 'l4III processing unit 14' calculates the time difference between the parking time recorded in parking ticket PT and the current time, that is, exit time. The parking fee is calculated, and the calculated parking fee is displayed on the display section 14D based on the display signal f7.
to be displayed. When user 1 (driver) inserts the amount corresponding to the displayed parking fee into the fee slot 14G and completes the payment, a gate open signal f8 is output to the exit gate operating device 24, and the exit gate 24G is opened. , now it is possible to issue the goods. Reference numeral 26 denotes a second exit vehicle detector consisting of a loop coil or the like provided on the exit side of the exit gate 20B. When the entrance detector 26 detects an exit vehicle, a gate close signal f9 is output to the exit gate operating device 124. exit gate 24
G is closed again, and this completes the leaving of the vehicle as indicated by arrow PBf.

The above describes the normal exit operation when the correct parking ticket PT is used. An explanation will be given of the operation in the case of so-called unauthorized use in which a parking ticket PT is taken away and another vehicle, which was already parked, is released using the parking ticket PT.

The parking ticket PT issued by the parking ticket issuing machine 10 at the time of parking has the parking time and secret number recorded, and
This time of arrival and secret number.

In accordance with the sampling of the parking ticket PT, the arithmetic processing unit 14 built in the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 installed at the exit 20B
As described above, this stored secret number is erased by the warehousing confirmation signal f5 output from the second population vehicle detector 18, and therefore, Parking ticket P without parking the vehicle
If only the T is removed and the vehicle is returned, the parking confirmation signal f5 is not output, so the secret number of the parking ticket PT remains stored in the register.

In this way, when attempting to leave the vehicle using the parking ticket PT for which secret No. 1 remains in the leaving condition registration data stored in the register of the arithmetic processing unit 14',
The automatic fare ms machine 14 cross-checks this secret number, determines that the parking ticket PT is fraudulent, does not calculate the fare, and immediately sends the parking ticket ρT back to the reception port 14a and refuses to leave the parking lot.

In addition, if the inserted parking ticket PT is determined to be a fraudulent ticket through the above verification check, an alarm, warning light, etc. will be turned on, or a voice warning will be issued to notify the parking ticket that it has been fraudulently used. , it may be configured to encourage the user to use the correct parking ticket issued when entering the parking lot.

Next, an example of a detailed configuration of the arithmetic processing section 14' built into the automatic fare adjustment device 14 shown in FIG. 1A will be described with reference to FIG. 1B.

As shown in the figure, the arithmetic processing unit 14' configured using a microcomputer etc. includes an arithmetic control unit CPU 15a that monitors overall control, a data registration register 15b, an input/output board I/Q 15c, Furthermore, it is comprised of a ROM 15d in which the main parts of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B and FIG. 3, which will be described later, are stored, a bus 15e, and the like.

The data registration register 15b includes, for example, a time code registration register 15b1, a secret N0, a registration register 15b2. It is composed of a display code registration register 15b3 and the like. In addition, the input port of ■/"Q'15C contains the parking ticket set signal fo, which is generated when the parking ticket PT is inserted into the automatic fare adjustment device 14 for fare settlement at the time of leaving the parking lot, and the entry time and secret information. It is configured so that the registration signal f2 of No, the parking confirmation signal f5, and the parking ticket acceptance start signal f6 of the payment machine are input, and the display signal f7 and the exit gate open signal f8 are output to the output boat. It is configured as follows.

Therefore, park! #When the registration signal f2 from the issuing machine 10 is input, the input *vI time is registered in the register 15b1, and the secret number is registered in the register 15b2. Furthermore, when the warehousing confirmation signal f5 is input, the register 15b2
The secret number registered in will be deleted. Also, when the parking ticket acceptance start signal f6 is input, each ? The metadata 15b1, 15b2.1'5b3 become readable or readable. Therefore, when parking %PT is inserted into the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 for the parking fee of 1 town when exiting the parking lot, the parking ticket set signal fo is generated and the parking time registered in the register 15b1 is read out. The CPU calculates the difference between the registered data and the exit time when the parking ticket is inserted.
15a, the result is temporarily registered in the register 15b3, and displayed on the display section 14D as a display signal f7. Also, at this time, the registered contents of register 15b2 are CPU1
5a, and when the registration of the secret number is not deleted, the CPU 15a recognizes this and prohibits the output of the gate open signal f8.

The details of the operation at the time of warehousing in the embodiment of the present invention described above are shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 2A and 2B, and the details of the operation at the time of warehousing are shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3. The main part of the flowchart at the time of warehouse entry and exit, for example, Figure 2B
The secret number in the warehousing registration routine shown in
, or the processing of steps S4 to S7 in FIG. 1 are programmed and stored in the ROM 15d shown in FIG. 1B. In addition, Figure 2 A and B
S1 to S14 in FIG. 3 indicate each step, and 81 to 811 in FIG. 3 similarly indicate each step.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the parking time and secret number are registered in the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 using the registration signal f2 output when the parking ticket PT is issued at the time of parking, but there are many entrances. In addition to the above-mentioned entry time and secret number, the system may also register the parking ticket issuing machine number. Further, the secret number registered in the register 15b2 is normally automatically deleted every 24 hours.

Further, in the embodiment, the arithmetic control section 14' included in the automatic fare adjustment machine 14 is configured by a microcomputer, but it may also be configured by an ordinary hard logic circuit.

As explained above, the parking lot management device according to the present invention is a parking lot management system that automatically calculates and collects entrance and exit fees and one-time parking fees. At the same time, the entry time and secret number are registered in the register of the automatic fare adjustment machine, and the registration of the secret number is deleted from the register on the condition that a vehicle is detected after passing through the entrance gate. , the registered contents corresponding to the parking ticket presented at the time of leaving the parking lot are checked, and if the registration of the secret number has not been deleted, it is determined that the use of this parking ticket is illegal. Therefore,
Even if you take out only the parking ticket issued from the parking ticket issuing machine at the entrance of the parking lot, go back and use that parking ticket to let the already parked car out of the parking lot at a fraudulent one-ticket fee, Since it can be checked at the time of leaving the parking lot, it is possible to reliably prevent such unauthorized use of parking tickets. In addition, since this secret number is registered as a code in association with the parking time, the registration area corresponds to the number of vehicles that can park at the same time (actually, the number of vehicles that can park in one minute), for example 10 to 10. About 15 is enough to deal with the problem,
Therefore, since it is possible to downsize the secret number register and simplify the circuit configuration, there is an advantage that the entire device can be manufactured easily and at low cost.
