Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot management system capable of providing information on an empty parking space close to a desired store to a customer visiting by car in a large facility where a parking lot area and a store area are provided.

  In a large-scale facility such as a large-scale shopping center where a large-scale parking area and a store area are attached, the store that opens there does not have a dedicated parking space in the parking area. Is common.

  Therefore, customers who visit this large facility by car will enter the parking area and look for a free parking space in the parking area according to their own judgment, but if the parking lot is too wide to see Does not know which section in the parking area is relatively free. For this reason, customers visiting by car are currently looking for parking spaces depending on their intuition. In such large facilities, a simple display method is often adopted in which the parking area is divided into a plurality of sections and “empty” and “full” are displayed for each section. In addition, each parking space is provided with an indicator light indicating "sky" and "parking", and by changing the color of the indicator light, it is possible to find an empty parking space even from a distance. There are also facilities.

  However, it cannot be said that sufficient convenience is taken into consideration for customers who have visited large facilities by simply performing such simple display.

  Therefore, a parking lot management system that takes into account the convenience of customers visiting the facility has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  Patent Document 1 discloses a parking lot information database that stores a usage situation for each parking area in a parking lot and a user information database that stores in advance user's desired information related to the parking area in a provider server device that manages a parking lot. And a store information database that stores information about the store in advance, and when the user's car enters the parking lot, the desired information in the user information database of the user, and the usage status in the parking lot information database, From this, when a parking area (parking space) is selected and the parking space information is transmitted to the user terminal, and when the user's car is parked in the parking space, information on the store close to the parking space, A parking lot management system that reads from a store information database and transmits it to a user terminal is disclosed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a first display that is installed at a main entrance to a parking facility and provides position information of an empty parking space in the parking facility, and a specific area that is installed in a specific area of the parking facility. A plurality of second displays for providing location information of empty parking spaces, and a plurality of third displays installed at a plurality of positions in the parking facility. There has been disclosed a parking lot management system that displays information as a bar graph or displays an empty situation by setting the indicator corresponding to each parking space communicating with a passage to green or red.

  According to the parking lot management system described in Patent Literature 1, it is possible to confirm where there is an empty parking space in the parking area by looking at the parking space information transmitted to the user terminal. Moreover, when the user parks in an arbitrary parking space, information on a store close to the parking space is transmitted to the user terminal, so that the user can use the information on the empty parking space in the vicinity of the normal use store or the parked location. It is possible to obtain information on nearby stores.

  By the way, when a customer (user) comes to a large-scale facility such as a large-scale shopping center where a large-scale parking lot area and a store area are provided for the purpose of going to a specific store, it is usually used. If you are a store, you know the location of the store, so after entering the parking lot you can move the car toward the normal use store and look for an empty parking space near the normal use store Is possible. However, the purpose of coming to the facility is various, and if you come for the purpose of going to a store other than the normal use store (store that is not used very much or store that was not used at all), the purpose is to go to multiple stores In some cases, only shopping categories such as clothes and groceries are decided. In either of these cases, it is normal to want to park in an empty parking space closest to the target store.

  However, in the parking lot management system described in Patent Document 1, if there is only one target store, information is provided for the user's request that “I want to park in an empty parking space closest to the store”. However, in other cases, there is a problem that information on an empty parking space in the vicinity of the store cannot be appropriately provided.

  Moreover, in the parking lot management system described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary for a customer who visits a facility by car to have a user terminal for receiving information on an empty parking space. . Moreover, in the parking lot management system described in Patent Document 1, when the target store is changed on the way to the parking lot, the registration must be changed during driving, and various situations where the user is placed There was also a problem that information could not be provided safely while responding accurately.

  Moreover, according to the parking lot management system described in Patent Document 2, since parking position information of the parking lot is displayed graphically, the customer can easily grasp the status of the empty parking space from the entire parking area. It has become. However, it is only possible to easily grasp the situation of an empty parking space, and as described above, when a customer comes to a large facility for the purpose of going to a certain store, the information desired by the customer (that is, the purpose) There was a problem that it was not possible to obtain information on empty parking spaces close to other stores.

  Therefore, the customer moves in the parking area in search of an empty parking space as close as possible to the target store. In this case, even if an empty parking space is found near the target store, if the customer determines that it is still a little away from the target store, there is no free parking space near the store. There is a case where the vehicle is not parked in the empty parking space and passes there. And even if you move to a place closer to the target store, if the nearby parking space is full, you will move to another area again and look for an empty parking space. Often parked in a parking space far from the store. In addition, when you go around the parking area and return to the first empty parking space you found, another car is already parked. There was also a problem that it took time to find the space.

  The present invention was devised to solve such problems. The purpose of the present invention is to ensure that customers who come by car find a desired empty parking space even in a large-scale parking lot of a large facility. It is to provide a parking lot management system that can do this.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram according to Embodiment 1 of a parking lot management system of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a large-scale facility to which the parking lot management system is applied.

  In FIG. 2, this large-scale facility 100 has, for example, 1000 or more parking spaces (the parking space here is a space that can stop one vehicle generally divided into rectangles by white lines). ) A large-scale facility in which a parking area PE with 110 and a store area SE capable of opening several tens to hundreds of stores 200 are installed. Thus, for example, entrances 101 to 103 are provided at three locations. In this example, passages 201 to 205 for going back and forth between the parking area PE and the store area SE are provided at five locations.

  The parking lot management system according to the first embodiment is a system that provides information on an empty parking space 110 close to a desired store 200 to a customer who has come by car in such a large-scale facility 100, as shown in FIG. In addition, each of the management server 1 for managing the entire system, the display means 2 installed in the parking area PE, the sky detecting means 3 for detecting the empty parking space 110 in the parking area PE, and the parking area PE And an entrance detection unit 4 that detects entrance into the parking area PE installed at the entrances 101 to 103.

  The management server 1 includes a display control unit 11 that performs display control of the display unit 2, an HDD (Hard that is a storage unit that stores information on each store 200, and distance information from each store 200 to each parking space 110. Disk Drive) 12. The display control means 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11a that controls the entire system, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 11b that stores various programs executed by the CPU 11a, and a RAM (used as a work area for the CPU 11a). Random Access Memory) 11c and a timer unit 11d that measures a predetermined time described later.

  The display means 2 includes an electronic signboard 22 made of, for example, a large liquid crystal display, and a display control unit 21 that performs display control of the electronic signboard 22 under the control of the CPU 11a. The electronic signboard 22 is located in the parking area PE. It is located in the vicinity of each of the entrances and exits 101 to 103 at a position that is most easily seen by customers entering by car. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the electronic signboard 22 is preferably installed in front of the entrances 101 to 103 (that is, the front of the car that goes straight after entering), When the parking lot area PE cannot be installed at such a position due to the site structure of the parking lot area PE (for example, in the case of a place such as the entrance 103), the position of the car is not obstructed and is easy to see for passengers riding in the car. Should be installed in consideration of

  The sky detection means 3 detects the presence / absence of an empty parking space in real time based on the detection sensor 31 that detects the presence / absence of parking of a vehicle installed in each parking space 110 of the parking lot area PE. And a vacancy determination unit 31 for determining.

  In addition, the HDD 12 of the management server 1 includes an empty parking space information storage unit 12a that stores information on the empty parking space determined by the empty determination unit 31 of the empty detection unit 3 while updating the information to the latest information as needed. The store information storage unit 12b stores advertisement information of each store to be displayed on the signboard 22 and distance information from each store to each parking space 110 in the parking area PE.

  FIG. 3 shows a data configuration example of the distance information stored in the store information storage unit 12 b of the HDD 12.

  That is, the distance information stored in the store information storage unit 12b specifically follows the shortest distance from a certain store 200 to each parking space 110 by following a route when a person actually walks and moves. Based on the calculation result, the parking number (parking ID) of each parking space 110 is listed in order from the first in ascending order of the moving distance, and such information is provided for each store 200. It is remembered. That is, the distance information includes the store ID (S0001, S0002,..., P010n,...) Of each store 200 and the parking IDs of the parking spaces 110 listed in order from the first in the shortest moving distance. P0001, P0002, ... P100n, ...) is information recorded in one record. In the example shown in FIG. 3, for example, the store ID (S0001) lists parking IDs in the order of P0021, P0011, P0022, P0012, P0031, P0001,. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the parking space closest to the store 200 of the store ID (S0001) is the parking space of the parking ID (P0021), and the next closest parking space is the parking ID of the parking ID (P0011). It indicates that it is a parking space.

  In the above configuration, the display control unit 11 is detected by each detection sensor 32 of the sky detection unit 3 and is stored in the information on the empty parking space determined by the empty determination unit 31 and the store information storage unit 12 b of the HDD 12. Based on the distance information of each store shown in FIG. 3, information on an empty parking space near the store is displayed on the electronic sign 22 as parking position information.

  Specifically, for example, the parking ID (P0001) to the parking ID (P0021) shown in FIG. 2 are all parked, the parking ID (P0022) is an empty parking space, and the parking ID (P0023) to the parking ID (P0040). If the parking ID is from (P0001) to (P0040), only the parking ID (P0022) is stored as an empty parking space in the empty parking space storage unit 12a of the HDD 12. Will be. In this state, for example, when searching for an empty parking space closest to the store ID (S0001), the display control unit 11 uses the parking ID (P0021) that is the first closest parking space to the store ID (S0001) from FIG. Is first acquired, and it is determined whether or not the parking ID (P0021) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. In this case, since the parking ID (P0021) is not stored in the vacant parking space storage unit 12a, the display control means 11 next receives the parking ID that is the second closest parking space to the store ID (S0001) from FIG. (P0011) is acquired, and it is determined whether or not this parking ID (P0011) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. Also in this case, since the parking ID (P0011) is not stored in the vacant parking space storage unit 12a, the display control means 11 next receives the parking ID that is the third closest parking space from the store ID (S0001) from FIG. (P0022) is acquired, and it is determined whether or not this parking ID (P0022) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. As a result, in this case, since the parking ID (P0022) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a, the empty parking space 110 of this parking ID (P0022) is currently stored in the store 200 of the store ID (S0001). It determines with it being the nearest empty parking space, and displays the empty parking space 110 of this determined parking ID (P0022) on the electronic signboard 22 as the empty parking space nearest to the store.

  With such a configuration, if a customer who enters the parking area PE by car wants to go to the store displayed on the electronic signboard 22, an empty parking space close to the store is displayed. , You can go to the empty parking space smoothly without getting lost. Therefore, a customer in a car can save a wasteful time such as searching for an empty parking space near a desired store and searching around the parking area PE. In addition, for the system administrator, the vehicle can be smoothly guided in the parking area PE, and efficient parking management can be performed.

  Here, in the first embodiment, the display control unit 11 sequentially switches and displays the parking position information displayed on the electronic signboard 22 at an interval of a first predetermined time T1 (for example, 5 seconds). It is configured.

  With such a configuration, information on the empty parking space (parking position information) to be displayed on the electronic signboard 22 is sequentially switched and displayed at a predetermined first predetermined time interval T1, thereby opening a store. It is possible to display the information of all stores that are present evenly. Thereby, for customers parked in the empty parking space in the parking area PE through the entrances 101 to 103 and customers who got off the car, advertisements related to stores other than the store intended by the customer and store information of each store However, since it is sequentially displayed at intervals of the first fixed time T1, information on the empty parking space of the desired store is also displayed, and if the display timing matches, the empty parking space near the desired store will be displayed. It becomes possible to go smoothly without hesitation.

  In the first embodiment, the display control means 11 is preset to display the parking position information on the electronic signboard 22 when the entrance detection unit 4 detects the entrance of the car into the parking area PE. The display is switched to display the parking position information of the priority store. Here, the priority store is a store separately contracted with an administrator who operates and manages a large-scale facility to preferentially display an advertisement on the electronic signboard 22.

  With such a configuration, priority store information is displayed in a timely manner by switching the display on the electronic signboard 22 to the parking position information of the priority store when the entry of a car into the parking area PE is detected. Therefore, it is possible to increase the advertising effect of the priority store.

  In this case, in the first embodiment, the display time of the parking position information of the priority store is a second fixed time T2 that is longer than the first fixed time T1 that is the display time of the store information of the general store that does not have the priority contract. (For example, 10 seconds). With such a configuration, there are many opportunities for the information on the priority store to be seen by customers, and the advertising effect of the priority store can be further enhanced.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1, the display control means 11 is set as the structure which returns to the display control of the parking position information by the general store in 1st fixed time T1, after complete | finishing the display of the parking position information of a priority store. With such a configuration, it is possible to link the display at the first fixed time T1 by the general store with the display at the second fixed time T2 by the priority store that occurs irregularly. The parking position information of some store can be always displayed on the signboard 22. Thereby, the advertising effect of each store can be expected.

  Next, the display operation of the empty parking space by the parking lot management system according to the first embodiment described above will be specifically described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The display control means 11 acquires advertisement information of an arbitrary store from the store information storage unit 12b in accordance with a preset store order when there is no new car entering the parking lot area PE (step S11). Next, based on the empty parking space information acquired from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a and the distance information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 12b, the empty parking close to the store at that time Space information is acquired (step S12). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set in the timer unit 11d (step S13), and measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement information of the store and the store Information on an empty parking space close to is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S14). In addition, the display form of the advertisement information of the store displayed on the electronic signboard 22 and the information of the empty parking space near the store will be described in detail later.

  Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not a first fixed time T1 has elapsed and whether or not a car has entered the parking area PE based on the presence or absence of a detection signal from the entrance detection unit 4 (step S15). , Step S16).

  As a result, when there is no new entry of the car into the parking area PE and the first predetermined time T1 has elapsed (that is, when it is determined Yes in step S15), the timer unit 11d is reset. (Step S17), the process returns to Step S11, and the advertisement information of the next store is acquired from the store information storage unit 12b in accordance with the preset store order (Step S11). Next, the empty parking space information storage unit 12a Based on the empty parking space information acquired from the above and the distance information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 12b, information on the empty parking space close to the store at that time is acquired (step S12). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set in the timer unit 11d (step S13), and measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement of the store and the store Information about a nearby free parking space is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S14).

  The display control means 11 repeats the processing of steps S11 to S15 and S17 unless a new vehicle enters the parking lot area PE (that is, unless it is determined Yes in step S16). The advertisement information of each store and the information of the nearby empty parking space at that time are repeatedly displayed according to the preset store order at intervals of the first fixed time T1.

  As described above, the information on the empty parking space (parking position information) to be displayed on the electronic signboard 22 is sequentially switched and displayed at intervals of the first predetermined time T1, so that all the stores that have opened stores are displayed. Information is displayed evenly. Therefore, customers who have entered the parking area PE through the entrances 101 to 103 are sequentially displayed at intervals of the first fixed time T1 because the parking position information of each store is displayed. If any information on the empty parking space is displayed and the display timing is appropriate, it is possible to go smoothly to the empty parking space near the desired store without hesitation.

  On the other hand, when a detection signal is input from the entrance detection unit 4 and the entrance of a new car is confirmed in the parking area PE in the process of performing such repeated display (when it is determined Yes in step S16). ) The display of the parking position information on the electronic signboard 22 is switched from the sequential display by the general store so far to the display of the parking position information of the priority store set in advance.

  That is, according to a preset priority store, advertisement information of the priority store is acquired from the store information storage unit 12b (step S18), and then the empty parking space information acquired from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a and the store Based on the distance information of the store stored in the information storage unit 12b, information on an empty parking space near the store is acquired (step S19). Then, T2 which is the second fixed time is set in the timer unit 11d (step S20), and measurement of the second fixed time T2 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement information of the store and the store Information on an empty parking space close to is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S21).

  In this way, when the entrance of the car into the parking area PE is detected, the priority store information can be displayed in a timely manner by switching the display on the electronic signboard 22 to the parking location information of the priority store. The advertising effectiveness of the store can be enhanced. In addition, by making the display time (T2) of the parking position information of the priority store longer than the display time (T1) of the parking position information of the general store, the parking position information of the priority store including the advertisement information is in the eyes of the customer. Since the touching time becomes longer, the advertising effect of the priority store can be further enhanced.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the second predetermined time T2 has elapsed (step S22). If not, the process returns to step S21. On the other hand, when the second fixed time T2 has elapsed (when determined Yes in step S22), the timer unit 11d is reset (step S23), the process returns to step S11, and a preset general store is set. In accordance with the store order, the advertisement information of the next store is acquired from the store information storage unit 12b (step S11). Next, the empty parking space information acquired from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a and the store information storage unit 12b Based on the stored distance information of the store, information on an empty parking space close to the store at that time is acquired (step S12). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set again in the timer unit 11d (step S13), and measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement information of the store and its information Information on an empty parking space near the store is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S14).

  In this way, by repeating the display at the first fixed time T1 by the general store and the display at the second fixed time T2 by the priority store that occurs irregularly, the electronic signboard 22 always has a place. The parking position information of the store can be displayed. Thereby, the advertising effect of each store can be expected.

  Here, the display form of the advertisement information of the store displayed on the electronic signboard 22 and the information of the empty parking space near the store will be specifically described.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a display form when displaying advertisement information of a store and information of an empty parking space near the store on the electronic signboard 22.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the store information display is provided with a store advertisement column 71 at the top, and an area map of the parking area PE and the store area SE is displayed therebelow. The area map displays the current position 72 and one free parking space 110a closest to the store. That is, by displaying only one free parking space 110a closest to the store on the area map, a customer who has seen this display can go smoothly to the free parking space 110a without hesitation. it can.

  In the display form shown in FIG. 5, the display of the empty parking space 110a is displayed by marking the position of the corresponding empty parking space 110a in the area map. The marking in this case is to change the display color of the other part only. For example, each parking space in the parking area PE is uncolored (that is, only a frame), and only the corresponding empty parking space 110a is painted in red, for example, or flashes in red to make it stand out. indicate. With such a display form, the position of the empty parking space is easily imaged as one point on the map for the customer, so that the empty parking space 110a can be smoothly reached without hesitation.

  FIG. 6 shows another example of a display form when displaying an advertisement for a store and information on an empty parking space near the store on the electronic signboard 22.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the area map includes one or a plurality of other empty parking spaces (in this example, 110 b and 110 c) including the current position 72 and one empty parking space 110 a closest to the store. Two empty parking spaces) are also displayed together. That is, one or a plurality of other empty parking spaces 110b and 110c in the vicinity including one empty parking space 110a closest to the store are also displayed, so that, for example, it is separated from the nearest empty parking space 110a. Even if the car is stopped, the car can be stopped in another empty parking space 110b or 110c in the vicinity thereof.

  In the display form shown in FIG. 6 as well, the empty parking spaces 110a to 110c are displayed by marking the corresponding empty parking spaces 110a to 110c in the area map. The display color is changed between the closest free parking space 110a and the other empty parking spaces 110b and 110c. For example, each parking space in the parking area PE is uncolored (that is, only a frame), the empty parking space 110a closest to the store is painted in red, for example, and the other two empty parking spaces 110b and 110c are green, for example. It is displayed in such a form that it is painted in one color or only the empty parking space 110a closest to the store blinks in red so that it stands out well. With such a display form, for example, one empty parking space 110a closest to the store and the other empty parking spaces 110b and 110c can be clearly distinguished and recognized, so that an empty parking space close to the store can be recognized. Even if multiple are displayed, you can go smoothly to the nearest empty parking space without getting lost.

  In addition, as a display method in the case of displaying a plurality of empty parking spaces close to the store, as shown in the above example, the upper limit of the number of displays to be a total of three places including one empty parking space 110a closest to the store And a method of setting a display range in which all the empty parking spaces within a certain distance centered on one empty parking space 110a closest to the store are displayed. is there.

<Embodiment 2>
FIG. 7 is an overall configuration diagram according to Embodiment 2 of the parking lot management system of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a large facility to which the parking lot management system is applied.

  In order to attract customers, large-scale commercial facilities often use a system in which, for example, the first two hours are free, and then a parking fee is charged each time one hour elapses. Therefore, a ticketing device is installed at the entrance gate, and a customer who comes by car stops at the entrance gate and enters the facility with the parking ticket issued by pressing the ticketing button. Therefore, in Embodiment 2, paying attention to this point, a store selection means that also serves as a ticketing device is installed at the entrance gate, and a customer who comes by car selects one store from the store selection means at the entrance gate, In addition, it is configured to issue parking tickets.

  Therefore, the overall configuration of the large-scale facility shown in FIG. 8 is almost the same as the overall configuration of the large-scale facility shown in FIG. 2, but in the second embodiment, entrance gates 104 to 106 are provided at three entrances 101 to 103, respectively. The store selection means 5 that also serves as a parking ticket issuing device is installed next to the entrance gates 104 to 106.

  The parking lot management system according to the second embodiment is a system that provides information on an empty parking space 110 close to a desired store 200 to a customer who visits by car in such a large facility 100, and manages the entire system. The management server 1, the display means 2 installed in the parking area PE, the empty detection means 3 for detecting the empty parking spaces 110, 110,... In the parking area PE, and the respective entrances and exits 101 of the parking area PE -103 entrance gates 104-106, and store selection means 5 installed respectively. Here, the configuration of the management server 1, the display means 2, and the sky detection means 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of the store selection means 5 installed beside the entrance gates 104 to 106.

  The store selection means 5 is provided with a large-screen display panel 52 having a touch panel on the surface at the height of the driver's eye level at the front upper part of a box-shaped casing 51 installed beside the gate. Under the display panel 52, a ticketing window 53 for issuing the parking ticket K and a ticketing button 55 dedicated to ticketing are provided.

  On the display panel 52, a list of all stores entering the facility is displayed in each cell divided into a grid pattern, and each cell is a store button. In this example, store buttons for a total of 60 stores, 10 stores horizontally and 6 stores vertically, can be displayed at a time, and a “return” button for switching the display screen is displayed below the list button screen. And a “Next” button are displayed.

  Accordingly, when a customer who has come by car stops the car at the entrance gate, he or she selects and touches one desired (target) store from the list of store buttons displayed on the display panel 52. As a result, the information on the selected store is sent to the display control means 11 of the management server 1 and at the same time, the parking ticket K is issued from the ticket issuing window 53. You will enter the hall. That is, in the second embodiment, an operation of selecting and touching one target store is handled in the same manner as an operation of pressing a ticket issuing button 55 dedicated to ticket issuing. Thereby, the customer who came by car can obtain information on an empty parking space near the desired store in addition to issuing a parking ticket by an operation that is not different from the ticket issuing operation of the conventional ticket issuing device.

  In this case, when the target store is not displayed on the display panel 52, the next store button list is displayed by touching the “Next” button. The “Next” button may be touched until the store button is displayed. Further, when there is no target store in particular, it is sufficient to press a ticket issuing button 55 dedicated for ticketing.

  In the above configuration, as a basic display control operation of the second embodiment, the display control unit 11 detects the empty parking space information detected by the respective detection sensors 32 of the empty detection unit 3 and is determined by the empty determination unit 31, and the HDD 12. Based on the distance information of each store shown in FIG. 3 stored in the store information storage unit 12b, information on an empty parking space near the store is displayed on the electronic sign 22 as parking position information. Thus, the parking position information displayed on the electronic signboard 22 is configured to be sequentially switched and displayed at an interval of a first predetermined time T1 (for example, 5 seconds). Such a basic display control operation is the same as the loop processing of step S11 to step S15 and step S17 of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment.

  In this way, the information of the empty parking spaces displayed on the electronic signboard 22 is sequentially switched and displayed at intervals of the first predetermined time T1 set in advance, so that the information of all the stores that have opened stores can be evenly distributed. Can be displayed. In addition, for customers who are looking for an empty parking space in the parking area PE and riding in a running car, the parking position information of each store is sequentially displayed at intervals of the first predetermined time T1, so that the desired Any information on the free parking space of the store to be displayed is displayed, and if the display timing is appropriate, it is possible to go to an empty parking space near the desired store.

  On the other hand, as a display control operation peculiar to the second embodiment, when a desired store is selected from the store selecting unit 5, the display control unit 11 displays the parking position information on the electronic signboard 22 as described above. The display is switched from the display of the parking position information of each store at an interval of a predetermined time T1 to the display of the parking position information of the selected store.

  That is, when a desired store is selected from the store selection unit 5, the display control unit 11 is detected by each detection sensor 32 of the sky detection unit 3, and information on an empty parking space determined by the empty determination unit 31; Based on the distance information (see FIG. 3) of the selected store stored in the store information storage unit 12b of the HDD 12, information on an empty parking space near the selected store is obtained from the first predetermined time T1. It is displayed on the electronic sign 22 as parking position information for a long second fixed time T2.

  Specifically, for example, the parking ID (P0001) to the parking ID (P0021) shown in FIG. 2 are all parked, the parking ID (P0022) is an empty parking space, and the parking ID (P0023) to the parking ID (P0040). If the parking ID is from (P0001) to (P0040), only the parking ID (P0022) is stored as an empty parking space in the empty parking space storage unit 12a of the HDD 12. Will be. In this state, the customer who came by car selects and touches the store with the store ID (S0001) from the store button list displayed on the display panel 52 of the store selection means 5 installed at the entrance gate, and then enters the parking ticket. When the ticket is entered, the store selection unit 5 transmits information of the store ID (S0001) to the display control unit 11. When receiving the information of the store ID (S0001), the display control unit 11 searches for an empty parking space that is closest to the store ID (S0001). That is, the parking ID (P0021) which is the parking space closest to the store ID (S0001) is acquired from FIG. 3, and it is determined whether or not this parking ID (P0021) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. . In this case, since the parking ID (P0021) is not stored in the vacant parking space storage unit 12a, the display control means 11 next displays the parking ID (2) that is the second closest parking space to the store ID (S0001) from FIG. P0011) is acquired, and it is determined whether or not this parking ID (P0011) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. Also in this case, since the parking ID (P0011) is not stored in the vacant parking space storage unit 12a, the display control means 11 next receives the parking ID that is the third closest parking space from the store ID (S0001) from FIG. (P0022) is acquired, and it is determined whether or not this parking ID (P0022) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a. As a result, in this case, since the parking ID (P0022) is stored in the empty parking space storage unit 12a, the empty parking space 110 of this parking ID (P0022) is assigned to the store ID (S0001) currently selected. The empty parking space closest to the store is specified, and the empty parking space 110 of the specified parking ID (P0022) is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 as the empty parking space closest to the selected store.

  With such a configuration, information on an empty parking space near the desired store (that is, the target store) is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 installed in the vicinity of the car that has passed the entrance gate. A customer in the car who sees the display can move and park the car smoothly to the empty parking space without hesitation. That is, it is possible to park in an empty parking space close to a desired store (target store). Therefore, customers who are in the car can save wasted time such as searching for an empty parking space near the desired store and searching around the parking area. In addition, the system administrator can smoothly guide the car in the parking lot area, and can efficiently manage the parking lot.

  In the second embodiment, when the display of the parking position information of the selected store is ended, the display control of the parking position information of the general store is returned to the first fixed time T1.

  With such a configuration, by repeating the display at the first fixed time T1 by the general store and the display at the second fixed time T2 by the selected store that occurs irregularly, It is possible to always display parking position information of some store on the electronic signboard 22. Thereby, the advertising effect of each store can be expected.

  Next, the display operation of the empty parking space by the parking lot management system according to the second embodiment described above will be specifically described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The display control means 11 acquires advertisement information of an arbitrary store from the store information storage unit 12b in accordance with a preset store order when there is no new car entering the parking lot area PE (step S31). Next, based on the empty parking space information acquired from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a and the distance information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 12b, information on the empty parking space close to the store. Is acquired (step S32). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set in the timer unit 11d (step S33), and measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement information of the store and the store Information on an empty parking space close to is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S34). In addition, about the display form of the advertisement information of the store displayed on the electronic signboard 22 and the information of the empty parking space near the store, it is as described in the first embodiment.

  Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not the first fixed time T1 has passed (step S35). If the first fixed time T1 has not passed, an arbitrary store is selected from the store selecting means 5 next. It is monitored whether selection information indicating that this has been input (step S36).

  As a result, when the first predetermined time T1 has passed without the target store being selected by the store selection means 5 (that is, when it is determined Yes in step S35), the timer unit 11d is reset. (Step S37), the process returns to Step S31, and the advertisement information of the next store is acquired from the store information storage unit 12b in accordance with the preset store order (Step S31). Next, the empty parking space information storage unit 12a Based on the empty parking space information acquired from the above and the distance information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 12b, information on the empty parking space close to the store is acquired (step S32). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set in the timer unit 11d (step S33), and the measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement of the store and the store. Information about a nearby free parking space is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S34).

  The display control unit 11 repeats the processes of steps S31 to S37 unless the target store is selected by the store selection unit 5 (that is, unless it is determined Yes in step S36). The advertisement information of each store and the information of the empty parking space near at that time are repeatedly displayed according to a preset store order at an interval of a fixed time T1.

  On the other hand, in the process of repeatedly performing such display, a list of store buttons displayed on the display panel 52 of the store selection means 5 when a car that has come to the facility temporarily stops at the entrance gate When any store is selected by touching one of the store buttons (Yes in step S36), the display control means 11 displays the parking position information on the electronic signboard 22. Is switched from the sequential display by the general store until then to the display of the parking position information of the selected store.

  That is, the display control means 11 acquires the advertisement information of the selected store from the store information storage unit 12b based on the information of the selected store (step S38), and then from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a. Based on the acquired empty parking space information and the distance information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 12b, information on an empty parking space close to the store is acquired (step S39). And the parking ticket K is issued from the store selection means 5 which also serves as a ticket issuing device (step S40). At this time, in the second embodiment, the advertisement of the selected store and the location of the empty parking space near the store may be printed on the back side of the parking ticket K with a drawing or the like. At this time, the parking number of the empty parking space may be printed together. In this way, if the parking position information is printed on the back side of the parking ticket K, the location of the empty parking space can be confirmed even when the electronic signboard 22 is not visible, so it is very convenient for customers who come by car. is there.

  Thereafter, the display control means 11 sets T2 which is the second fixed time in the timer unit 11d (step S41), starts measurement of the second fixed time T2, and acquires these pieces of information, that is, The advertisement information of the store and the information of the empty parking space near the store are displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S42).

  Thereby, since the information of the empty parking space near the desired store (that is, the target store) is displayed on the electronic signboard 22, the customer who has passed the entrance gate by car can smoothly go to the empty parking space without hesitation. You can park your car by moving it.

  Thereafter, the display control means 11 determines whether or not the second predetermined time T2 has elapsed (step S43), and if not, returns to step S42. On the other hand, when the second predetermined time T2 has elapsed (when it is determined Yes in step S43), the timer unit 11d is reset (step S44), and the process returns to step S31 to set a general store set in advance. In accordance with the store order, the advertisement information of the next store is acquired from the store information storage unit 12b (step S31). Next, the empty parking space information acquired from the empty parking space information storage unit 12a and the store information storage unit 12b Based on the stored distance information of the store, information on an empty parking space near the store is acquired (step S32). Then, T1 which is the first fixed time is set again in the timer unit 11d (step S33), and measurement of the first fixed time T1 is started, and the acquired information, that is, the advertisement information of the store and its information Information on an empty parking space near the store is displayed on the electronic signboard 22 (step S34).

  According to the second embodiment, by repeating the display at the first fixed time T1 by the general store and the display at the second fixed time T2 by the selected store that occurs irregularly, the electronic store It is possible to always display the parking position information and advertisement information of some store on the signboard 22. Thereby, the advertising effect of each store can be expected.

  In addition, since the display form of an empty parking space is the same as that of the case of above-mentioned Embodiment 1, description of the display form of an empty parking space is abbreviate | omitted here.

<Embodiment 3>
The third embodiment is an embodiment in which the first embodiment is combined with the second embodiment.

  That is, in Embodiment 2, when it is determined No in step S36 of FIG. 10, that is, when the target store is not selected by the store selection means 5 and the ticketing button 55 dedicated for ticketing is pressed, The configuration returns to step S34. That is, the display content of the electronic signboard 22 is configured to maintain the control to sequentially and repeatedly display the parking position information of the general store up to that time at the interval of the first fixed time T1.

  On the other hand, in Embodiment 3, when the target store is not selected by the store selection means 5 and the ticketing button 55 is pressed, the display is switched to the display of the parking position information of the priority store set in advance. It is a thing.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating the display operation of an empty parking space by the parking lot management system according to the third embodiment. Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, the display operation of the empty parking space which concerns on Embodiment 3 is demonstrated. However, in FIG. 11, the same step numbers are assigned to the same processing steps as those in the flowchart shown in FIG.
