It has the function to show and display in FIG.

[Operation]
Next, the operation of the parking lot management system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the user 101 of the vehicle 100 entering the parking lot 7 receives the parking card 4 equipped with the above-described active RFID tag 12 and the two-dimensional barcode 11 at the entrance gate 9 (step S1). Then, the user 101 refers to the parking lot guidance display board 6 to check an empty space, and parks at a predetermined parking place 8 as shown in FIG. 6A (step S2). The user 101 reads and stores the two-dimensional barcode 11 (QR code) of the parking card 4 with the barcode reader of the cellular phone 1 (see arrow Y1 in FIG. 6A, portable terminal identification information acquisition step), and parks the parking card 4. The card 4 is placed on the dashboard of the car (step S11). Then, the user 101 goes out of the vehicle.

  Thereafter, the parking lot management server 5 periodically gives an instruction to the RFID reading sensor 3 installed around the parking place, and the RFID tag 12 of the parking card 4 placed on the dashboard of the parked car 100. (See arrow Y2 in FIG. 6A), and the unique ID recorded in the RFID tag 12 is read (step S4, identification information reading step). Then, the parking lot management server 5 acquires the ID read by the RFID reading sensor 3 (identification information acquisition step), specifies the parking block in which the RFID reading sensor 3 is installed, and stores the parking block information 57a. ID is linked | related and preserve | saved in the parking location information storage part 57 (step S5, step S6, parking location registration process).

  In addition, the parking lot management server 5 refers to the parking place information storage unit 57, and guides another car to a space that is not parked, that is, a parking place that is not associated with an ID. 6 displays an empty parking place (step S7, step S8, step S9).

  After that, when the user 101 returns to the parking lot 7 from the outside, if the user 101 does not know the parking location of his car, as described above (step S11), the mobile phone 1 accesses the URL of the parking lot management server 5 read from the two-dimensional barcode 11. At this time, the unique ID of the parking card 4 is also transmitted simultaneously (see step S12, arrow Y3 in FIG. 6B). Then, the parking lot management server 5 accepts access from the mobile phone 1 (portable terminal access acceptance step), and identifies the vehicle 100 of the user 101 registered from the parking location information storage unit 57 based on the transmitted ID. And the map and parking block number which show a parking place are transmitted (parking place notification process).

  Thereby, the user 101 can receive the map of the parking position and the parking block number with the mobile phone 1 (see step S13, arrow Y4 in FIG. 6B), and by displaying this on the screen, A parking place can be reached based on the map and the parking block number (step S14).

  Thereafter, the vehicle 100 is removed from the parking place (step S15), and the parking card 4 is returned at the exit gate 10 of the parking lot (step S16). If the manufacturing cost of the parking card 4 is lowered, only the exit reading is performed and the card need not be collected. And by reading the parking card 4 at the exit gate 10 of the parking lot, the parking lot management server 5 recognizes that the car 100 using the parking lot 7 has exited, and the ID of the parking card 4 is associated. The fact that the parking block that has been vacant is recorded in the parking location information storage unit 57 (step S17, step S18).

  In this way, first, even in a large-scale parking lot, a parking card consisting of a combination of an active RFID (wireless IC tag) and a two-dimensional bar code with a long communication distance is received upon entry, and parking is performed. By reading the parking card 4 with the RFID reading sensor 3 installed in the vicinity of the location, it is possible to easily determine whether the parking space is in use or vacant. Can be achieved. In addition, the labor cost of the parking lot can be reduced.

  Even if the user forgets the parking block number of the place where he / she parked or when the surroundings have changed over time, the barcode reader of the mobile phone is required in advance. Connected to the URL of the parking lot management server recorded in the two-dimensional barcode of the parking card read in, and the parking position information specified from the map information distributed from the parking lot management server and the unique ID of the parking card, Thus, the user can easily reach the place where he / she parked. As a result, the car can be easily found, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  Here, the case where the two-dimensional barcode 11 is formed on the parking card 4 as information that can be read by the mobile phone 1 is described above. However, if the ID can be acquired from the parking card 4 by the mobile phone 1. For example, the parking card 4 may store an ID in another configuration. For example, when the mobile phone 1 has a function of communicating with the RFID tag 12, the ID may be acquired from the RFID tag 12. In such a case, it is not necessary to provide the two-dimensional barcode 11 in the parking card 4, and only the RFID tag 12 need be provided.
