Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for changing an exit reservation for a mechanical parking device. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, mechanical parking systems store a large number of vehicles in a three-dimensional manner inside a building constructed above ground or inside a space created underground, and various types of mechanical parking systems are used, such as elevator type and vertical circulation type, and are installed in facilities such as apartment complexes and other collective housing whose users are contract holders, and department stores and other facilities that serve an unspecified number of users.

[0003] In the mechanical parking system, a user makes a reservation to enter and exit a vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] 1 to 4 show an embodiment of an exit reservation change system for a mechanical parking device according to the present invention.

[0017] The exit reservation change system for a mechanical parking device of this embodiment includes a mobile communication terminal 10, a management personal computer 20, a control device 30, and a management server 40, as shown in FIG.

[0018] The mobile communication terminal 10 is a terminal possessed by a user and installed with a dedicated application including a reservation for leaving a mechanical parking device, such as a smartphone. However, it is also possible to install a dedicated application including a reservation for leaving a mechanical parking device in a car navigation system mounted in a vehicle, and use the car navigation system as the mobile communication terminal 10. Incidentally, in the case of a collective housing such as an apartment building, the user has a contract for use of the mechanical parking device with the manager.

[0019] The management personal computer 20 is adapted to manage exit reservations for mechanical parking devices, and is connected to an exit reservation display device 60 via a hub 50. The management personal computer 20 is adapted to also manage entry reservations for mechanical parking devices, and is connected to an entry reservation display device 70 via the hub 50.

[0020] The control device 30 is a programmable logic controller (PLC), to which the management personal computer 20 is connected via a hub 50 and which controls the operation of the mechanical parking device.

[0021] The management server 40 is connected to the mobile communication terminal 10 via a communication line such as 3G or 4G, and is also connected to the management personal computer 20 via a router 80, and is configured to cooperate with the management personal computer 20.

[0022] In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, it is provided with a notification function, a delay confirmation function, a check function, an alternative time presentation function, and a time setting function.

[0023] The notification function is a function in which a confirmation notification before the execution of an outgoing reservation is transmitted from the management personal computer 20 to the mobile communication terminal 10 via the management server 40. The confirmation notification before the execution of an outgoing reservation may be a normal email or a push notification. A push notification is a function used in a mechanism for receiving messages such as LINE (registered trademark), and can be transmitted only to the target mobile communication terminal 10 such as a smartphone or a car navigation system, and can be transmitted without using an email address. Depending on the settings of the mobile communication terminal 10, the transmitted message content can also be displayed on a lock screen.

[0024] The delay confirmation function allows the user to select whether or not to delay the departure reservation after the notification function sends the departure reservation pre-execution confirmation notification. Here, the delay of the departure reservation is called "snooze" because it is similar to the well-known function of an alarm clock that shifts the alarm sound time from the initial time to a set time later.

[0025] The check function is a function for determining whether or not there is an overlap with an outgoing reservation made by another user when the user selects a delay in the outgoing reservation in the delay confirmation function.

[0026] The alternative time presentation function is a function that, when the check function determines that there is an overlap in outgoing reservations, presents to the user a time that avoids the overlapping outgoing reservations of other users.

[0027] The time setting function is a function for changing the time of the departure reservation when the time presented in the alternative time presentation function is accepted by the user.

[0028] The pre-execution confirmation notice of the exit reservation is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10 N minutes before the start of the exit operation of the mechanical parking device. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, if the reserved exit time is H:12, the exit operation is started K minutes (5 minutes in the example of Fig. 3) before the reserved exit time, and the pre-execution confirmation notice of the exit reservation is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10 N minutes (5 minutes in the example of Fig. 3) before the start time of the exit operation. However, it goes without saying that K minutes and N minutes are not limited to 5 minutes and can be changed appropriately depending on the mechanical parking device.

[0029] Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

[0030] First, the notification function transmits a pre-execution confirmation notification of the outgoing reservation to the mobile communication terminal 10 via the management server 40 from the management personal computer 20 as a normal email or push notification (see step S10 in FIG. 2). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, if the outgoing reservation time is H:12 and the outgoing operation is to start K minutes (5 minutes in the example of FIG. 3) before the outgoing reservation time, the pre-execution confirmation notification of the outgoing reservation is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10 N minutes (5 minutes in the example of FIG. 3) before the outgoing operation start time. That is, in the example of FIG. 3, the pre-execution confirmation notification of the outgoing reservation is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10 at H:2.

[0031] Next, when the link attached to the email is tapped or a dedicated application is started (see step S20 in FIG. 2), a snooze execution page is displayed (see step S30 in FIG. 2).

[0032] On the snooze page, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the vehicle name is displayed as a confirmation before the departure reservation is executed, along with messages such as "Reserved at H:12," "If you want to delay the departure reservation time, tap the snooze button," and "If you want to cancel the reservation, tap the cancel button."

[0033] After the notification function sends a confirmation notification before the execution of the departure reservation, the user selects whether or not to delay the departure reservation using the delay confirmation function (see step S40 in FIG. 2). If the user wishes to snooze, the user taps the snooze button as shown in FIG. 4(a) (see step S50 in FIG. 2). If the user does not wish to snooze, the user simply taps the Home button shown in FIG. 4(a) and the departure will take place at the already reserved time of H:12.

[0034] When the user taps the snooze button, the management personal computer 20 calculates a delay of T minutes (for example, 5 minutes) from the reserved departure time (see step S60 in FIG. 2).

[0035] After this, a check function determines whether the reserved exit time delayed by T overlaps with an exit reservation of another user (see step S70 in FIG. 2). If there is an overlap, an operation is performed to reset the reserved exit time to a time later than the other user's exit reservations (see step S80 in FIG. 2). If there is no overlap, the reserved exit time delayed by T is used as is.

[0036] The reset departure reservation time (or the departure reservation time delayed by T minutes) is presented by the alternative time presentation function as a message saying "If you snooze the reservation, it will be at H:XX. Do you want to snooze?" as shown in Figure 4(b) (see step S90 in Figure 2), and the system waits for input from the user (see step S100 in Figure 2).

[0037] If the user accepts the time presented by the alternative time presentation function, as shown in Fig. 4(b), tapping "Yes" changes the departure reservation time using the time setting function (see step S110 in Fig. 2), and as shown in Fig. 4(c), a message saying "Snooze accepted" is displayed. The user simply taps "OK".

[0038] In the case of this embodiment, particularly with regard to vehicle departure, in a situation where a user wishes to delay departure from the already reserved time by a few minutes due to his / her convenience, there is no need to cancel the departure reservation itself in order to delay the departure reservation time, and there is no need to make a new departure reservation, which saves time and effort and improves efficiency.

[0039] In this way, changes to delivery reservations can be easily made, improving user convenience.

[0040] In this embodiment, the delay confirmation function is provided with a check function for determining whether there is an overlap with other users' departure reservations when the user selects a delay in the departure reservation. With this configuration, departure can be smoothly carried out while taking into account the departure reservations of other users.

[0041] In addition, if the check function determines that there is an overlap in departure reservations, the system is equipped with an alternative time suggestion function that suggests to the user a time that avoids the overlapping departure reservations of other users. With this configuration, the user's options regarding delays in departure can be expanded.

[0042] Furthermore, the system is provided with a time setting function for changing the departure reservation time when the time presented in the alternative time presentation function is accepted by the user. With this configuration, the departure reservation time can be changed in accordance with the user's wishes.

[0043] Incidentally, the exit reservation change system for a mechanical parking device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
