Description

   The present invention relates to a bicycle parking gate system suitable for use in a bicycle parking lot that accommodates a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle or a motorcycle.

  In recent years, paid bicycle parking lots have been installed in the vicinity of railway stations and large shopping malls, restricting the passage of bicycles such as bicycles and motorcycles entering and leaving the bicycle parking lot one by one. There are an increasing number of systems that issue cards that record the date and time of entry for bicycles and motorcycles that collect parking fees, but protection against unauthorized use is also required.

  Therefore, for example, in the gate device for a bicycle parking lot described in Patent Document 1, the passage of the motorcycle is managed so that illegal entry or exit from the bicycle parking lot can be prevented and the safety of the user can be ensured. In a bicycle parking gate device, a passage through which a motorcycle passes, a first gate that is disposed on the side of the passage and rotates laterally to close or open the passage, and the passage of the motorcycle The first detection sensor is disposed on the front side of the first gate in the direction and detects a two-wheeled vehicle approaching the front of the first gate, and is disposed on the back side of the first gate in the passing direction of the two-wheeled vehicle. And a second detection sensor that detects the two-wheeled vehicle that has passed through the first gate. When the first detection sensor detects the two-wheeled vehicle, the first gate shifts to an open state, Detection sensor is a motorcycle A technique is disclosed in which the first gate shifts to a closed state upon detection of the vehicle, and after the user and the two-wheeled vehicle pass through the gate, the two-wheeled vehicle approaching the gate from the rear of the two-wheeled vehicle performs a predetermined procedure. This prevents the so-called “combined entry / exit” where the user passes through the gate without permission and enters or exits the bicycle parking lot.

  In addition, for example, in the bicycle parking gate system described in Patent Document 2, it is possible to accurately determine the type of the motorcycle that is going to pass through the entrance and exit of the bicycle parking lot, and to enable smooth passage of the bicycle parking gate. However, a technology for a bicycle parking gate system that can be used in combination and can reduce the installation space is disclosed.

  However, in the bicycle parking gate device and the bicycle parking gate system described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the above-mentioned “joint entry / exit” is a fraudulent act of following a preceding motorcycle and passing through the gate together. In order to prevent this problem, two gates are arranged on the front and rear sides, but in the bicycle parking gate device of Patent Document 1, the two gates move while interlocking with an angle difference of 90 °. When the front side is in the open state, the back side is in the closed state, and in this state, the two motorcycles enter the gate passage, the preceding motorcycle finishes the entrance and exit processing, and the back gate starts to open. At the same time, if two cars proceed to the back gate at the same time, there was a problem that it was relatively easy for two-wheeled vehicles to enter and exit illegally.

  In order to prevent this, as described in the bicycle parking gate system in Patent Document 2, the two-wheeled vehicle once enters the road, and then the two gates are completely closed so that the two-wheeled vehicle performs the entrance / exit processing. After completion, a regulation operation is required such as opening the back gate. However, in that case, a motorcycle that has accidentally entered the roadway will be trapped in both gates and will not be able to retreat, and it will be necessary to call an attendant to open the gate. It was.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a bicycle parking gate system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overview diagram of an entrance lane portion of a bicycle parking lot equipped with a bicycle parking gate system according to an embodiment of the present invention. . In FIG. 1, road shoulders ES and ET are formed on both sides of an entrance road ED, and a ticket issuing machine 1 is installed on one side of the road shoulder ES. In addition, the road width of the entrance lane ED is limited to such a width that two bicycles and motorcycles (hereinafter referred to as motorcycle A) cannot travel simultaneously. Although not shown in the figure, a regulation barrier is installed, so that the user H cannot protrude or escape from the middle of the entrance lane ED on the shoulders ES and ET.

  A pair of left and right wheel sensors 12 and 13 are installed on both shoulders ES and ET separately on one side and the other side, respectively, on the far side in the traveling direction from the ticket issuing machine 1. When the user H enters the entrance lane ED, the user H may stay on the two-wheeled vehicle A. However, as shown in the figure, the user H often gets off and walks while pushing the steering wheel. Of course, there are also cases where the bicycle parking manager is obliged to get off and enter to avoid danger in operation.

  Before and after the entrance lane ED, a first gate device generally indicated by reference numeral 10 on the near side that enters the entrance lane ED and a reference numeral 20 on the back side that exits from the entrance lane ED. The second gate device shown in FIG. 2 is installed in a pair of left and right 10R, 10L and 20R, 20L. A ticketing machine 1 is installed on the right side of the center of the entrance lane ED, and this ticket is issued on the entrance lane ED. A pair of left and right wheel sensors 12 and 13 are installed at a position between the machine 1 and the second gate device 20. Further, passage sensors 10S and 20S for detecting the two-wheeled vehicle A and the user H are installed in one case 10R and 20R of the first and second gate devices 10 and 20 on the front side and the back side, respectively. (Refer to FIGS. 1 to 3)

  The wheel sensors 12 and 13 are installed in the vicinity of the ticketing machine 1 in the entrance lane ED, and are used to accurately identify whether the motorcycle A is a bicycle or a motorcycle (not shown). is there. In addition, when the bicycle parking gate system of the present invention is installed on the entry lane (not shown), a fee settlement machine (denoted by reference numeral 30) is used in place of the ticket issuing machine 1, but the fee Similar wheel sensors 12 and 13 are used in the vicinity of the checkout machine 30.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the two-wheeled vehicle A (bicycle) enters the entrance lane ED, when the bicycle wheel AS reaches a predetermined position with respect to the pair of wheel sensors 12 and 13, A discrimination signal indicating whether the motorcycle A is a bicycle or a motorcycle is output based on the size, the thickness of the tire portion, and the like. The ticket issuing machine 1 receives the signal, and in the case of FIG. 1 is recognized. When the ticketing machine 1 automatically issues a bicycle admission ticket or outputs a message such as “Please press the ticketing button to take the admission ticket” and the user presses the ticketing button 1T, Bicycle admission tickets may be issued.

  In addition, with the bicycle admission ticket, a flag indicating a bicycle is recorded in the admission ticket, but other than that, the admission date, time, admission ticket number, machine number of the ticketing machine 1 and the like are recorded in a magnetic stripe (not shown). The admission ticket has such information printed on the surface so as to be visible. On the other hand, when it is determined that the vehicle is a motorcycle, a flag indicating the motorcycle is recorded.

  The first gate device generally indicated by reference numeral 10 is on the front side in the traveling direction of the entrance lane ED, with the left and right gate machines 10L, 10R facing the shoulders ET, ES on the left and right sides of the entrance lane ED. Each of the gate machines 10L and 10R is provided with a vertical rotation axis 10X ′ (the rotation axis of one gate machine 10L is not shown) on the front side inside the rectangular housing in plan view. It has a pair of gate bars 10X and 10Y (also referred to as gate flaps) that open and close about 90 degrees, and the state of FIG. 1 shows that the first gate device 10 is in an open state. On the other hand, the second gate device generally indicated by reference numeral 20 has left and right gate machines 20L, 20R on the shoulders ET, ES on the left and right sides of the entrance lane ED on the far side in the traveling direction of the entrance lane ED. A pair of gate bars that are installed facing each other and have a vertical rotary shaft 20X ′ (the rotary shaft of one gate machine 20L is not shown) on the front side inside the rectangular housing in plan view, and opens and closes about 90 degrees. 20X and 20Y, and the state of FIG. 1 indicates that the second gate device 20 is in a closed state.

  The wheel sensors 12 and 13 are a pair of left and right sensors, and four light receiving portions (infrared light receiving elements) are disposed at predetermined positions in the wheel sensor 12 on one side. In the wheel sensor 13 on the other side, four light emitting portions (infrared light emitting elements) are arranged at predetermined positions inside the case. Of course, each positional relationship is the same, that is, it is symmetrical with respect to the road center line.

  In the case of the vehicle sensor 13 on the other side, there is provided a light emitting portion (not shown) attachment mechanism portion, which is connected to the wheel sensor 12 on one side via wiring (none of them are shown). Inside the case of the wheel sensor 12 on the side, wiring from the light receiving part mounting mechanism part and each light receiving element (both not shown), and the wiring from each light emitting element are connected to the control part (not shown) inside, In addition, a power supply unit, a setting operation unit, and the like are provided as appropriate.

  Further, the wheel sensor 12 on one side is connected to the ticket issuing machine 1 through a wiring (not shown), and input / output of a vehicle type determination signal and a reset signal, which will be described later, and a power supply line are embedded in the entrance vehicle ED and the shoulder ES. Has been. In this embodiment, a sensor using an infrared beam is used as the light emitting / receiving element of the wheel sensors 12 and 13. However, the sensor is not limited to the infrared ray, and may be a red visible light type sensor, an ultrasonic wave or a micro wave. A method using a wave or a laser beam can also be realized, and may be appropriately determined in consideration of the directivity of the sensor, the spot diameter, and the price of the sensor element.

  2 and 3 show plan views of a portion of the entrance lane ED of the bicycle parking gate system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the first and second gate devices 10R, 20R on the right side in the direction of travel of the entrance lane ED have surfaces on the entrance lane ED side of the respective housings as first and second passage detection means. Pass sensors 10S and 20S (see FIG. 1) are installed. Specifically, the ultrasonic type passage sensors 10S and 20S are installed on the upper side of the surface of each case of the first and second gate machines 10R and 20R on the right facing the entrance road ED. It is possible to detect whether an object is present in the areas 10W and 20W as indicated by the two-dot chain line. Note that the passing sensors 10S and 20S may be other than ultrasonic waves, may be those using infrared rays or laser beams, or may be a transmission type detection method in which a light emitting / receiving element is provided between opposing housings.

FIG. 4 shows an operation flow in the entrance lane ED of the bicycle parking gate system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the operation will be described in the order from FIG. 2 (1) to FIG. 3 (6) in comparison with the flow of FIG.
<Explanation of entrance lane operation>

   FIG. 2 (1) shows the entrance lane ED of the bicycle parking gate system according to the embodiment of the present invention. There is no two-wheeled vehicle A in the lane, and the bicycle is moved to the first gate device 10 along the traveling direction. The state before entering is shown. In this case, the first gate device 10 is in an open state, and the second gate device 20 is in a closed state. Further, the first and second passage sensors 10S and 20S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are in a state where no object is detected. In this state, in step S1 of FIG. 4, it is repeatedly monitored whether the first passage sensor 10S detects an object and is turned on.

  FIG. 2 (2) shows a state in which the two-wheeled vehicle A as a bicycle has entered the entrance lane ED from (1). Up to this point, when the first passage sensor 10S is monitored in step S1, the wheel AS, the frame AF, and the user H of the two-wheeled vehicle A (bicycle) are located within the monitoring area 10W of the first passage sensor 10S. In step S1, the first passage sensor 10S is turned on. Becomes YES, and the process proceeds to the next step S2. In step S2, whether or not the wheel sensors 12 and 13 detect the wheel AS is repeatedly monitored, and if the wheel sensors 12 and 13 detect the wheel AS within a preset time-out time (for example, 20 seconds), the step S2 Is the wheel sensor 12, 13 ON? Becomes YES, and the process proceeds to the next step S3. However, if the time-out period of step S17 elapses before step S2 becomes YES, a time-out? Becomes YES and the process proceeds to the error output in step S16.

  In step S3, it is checked whether or not the first passage sensor 10S that has already passed at this time is OFF, and if no object is detected and turned OFF, the determination is YES, and the process proceeds to step S4. If the first passage sensor 10S is ON at this time, the process proceeds to step S16 and proceeds to error output. This is because, when both the wheel sensors 12 and 13 and the first passage sensor 10S are ON, the succeeding two-wheeled vehicle that tries to enter together behind the two-wheeled vehicle A that has entered the entrance lane ED in advance. This is because there is a high possibility that (not shown) has arrived.

  Next, the state shifts to the state (3) in FIG. 2, which shows the state in which the first gates 10X and 10Y are closed in step S4, but immediately shifts to step S5 to generate the ticketing guidance output. However, this is specifically done by outputting an announcement such as “Please press the ticketing button to pick up the admission ticket” or the same wording is displayed on the display screen 1D of the ticketing machine 1.

  Next, it is monitored in step S6 whether or not the ticket issuing button 1T has been pressed. At the same time, a commuter pass is inserted into the ticket issuing machine 1 in step S18, or neither of them is done and a preset time has elapsed. In step S19, it is repeatedly monitored whether a timeout occurs. If the ticket issuing button 1T is pressed in step S6, the answer is YES, the process proceeds to step S7, an admission ticket is issued, and then the process proceeds to step S8 to monitor the withdrawal of this ticket. If the preset time has not passed, the time-out is NO in step S20, and the ticket removal in step S8 is repeatedly monitored. If a commuter pass has been inserted into the ticket issuing machine 1 in step S18, ticket withdrawal is similarly monitored in step S8.

  If the user pulls out the admission ticket from the ticket issuing machine 1 in step S8, the process proceeds to the next step S9 and the second gates 20X and 20Y are opened. This is the state shown in FIG. In this state, when the two-wheeled vehicle A travels on the entrance lane ED along the traveling direction, the motorcycle A first passes through the monitoring area 20W of the second passage sensor 20S shown in step S10, and the second passage sensor 20S is temporarily turned on. Whether or not it is turned on is monitored, and when it reaches the monitoring area 20W of the second passage sensor 20S, the answer is YES in step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, and this time the second passage sensor 20S is completely turned off. Is monitored. If it is completely OFF, step S11 becomes YES and the process proceeds to the next step S12. Note that whether or not it is completely OFF may be determined to be completely OFF when OFF is continuously output for a predetermined time or more. FIG. 3 (5) shows a state in which this is completely OFF. If the preset time has not elapsed, the time-out is YES in step S25, and the process proceeds to alarm output in step S24.

   In step S12, it is further determined whether or not both the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are OFF. If both are OFF and no object is detected, YES is determined and step S13 is executed. However, if either of them is ON, the determination is NO and the process proceeds to the alarm output in step S26. If the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are detecting any object, the two-wheeled vehicle A once travels to the detection range of the second passage sensor 20S, but passes completely. Since there is a possibility that it has returned to the front, in this way, by confirming that both the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are OFF, the entrance that has been extracted without intentionally proceeding into the field It is possible to prevent fraud such as using tickets to exchange for other parking tickets.

  If YES in step S12, the process proceeds to step S13 to close the second gates 20X and 20Y, and then proceeds to step S14 to open the first gates 10X and 10Y and finish the process. This state is shown in FIG. 3 (6), and as a result, the state returns to the same state as FIG. 2 (1).

On the other hand, the admission ticket cannot be extracted from the ticket issuing machine 1 in step S8, and a preset time has elapsed, and a timeout has occurred in step S20? If YES, the process proceeds to step S21 to collect the issued ticket once inside the ticket issuing machine 1, and then the process proceeds to step S22 to open the first gates 10X and 10Y. After outputting an error in S16, the process returns. Here, the error output is realized by emitting a buzzer sound indicating an error by voice or displaying an error on a screen, but these may be ended after outputting for a few seconds, although not shown. As a result, since the user H who has once entered the entrance lane ED has a means for retreating, there is no need for a staff member to open the gate. Further, as long as the admission ticket is not extracted from the ticket issuing machine 1 in this way, even if the user H is allowed to move backward, no illegal act will be caused.
<Explanation of entry lane operation>

  FIG. 5 is an operation flow on the exit road of the bicycle parking gate system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the figure showing the exit roadway (denoted by reference numeral XD for the sake of convenience) is the same as that shown in FIGS. It is. Hereinafter, the operation flow on the exit road XD will be described with reference to these drawings. In FIG. 5, there is no motorcycle in the entry road XD, and the two-wheeled vehicle A follows the traveling direction. In the state before entering the first gate device 10, the first gate device 10 is in the open state and the second gate device 20 is in the closed state, as in FIG. Further, the first and second passage sensors 10S and 20S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are in a state where no object is detected. In this state, in step S31 at the beginning of FIG. 5, it is repeatedly monitored whether the first passage sensor 10S detects an object and is turned on.

  In step S31, the first passage sensor 10S is monitored, and the bicycle wheel AS or the frame AF as the two-wheeled vehicle A or the user H himself / herself falls within the detection range (monitoring area 10W) of the first passage sensor 10S. If the first passage sensor 10S is turned on in step S31? Becomes YES, and the process proceeds to the next step S32. In step S32, it is repeatedly monitored whether or not the wheel sensors 12 and 13 detect the wheel AS, and if the wheel sensors 12 and 13 detect the wheel AS within a preset time-out time (for example, 20 seconds), in step S32 Wheel sensor 12, 13 ON? Becomes YES, and the process proceeds to the next step S33. However, if the time-out time of step S45 elapses before step S32 becomes YES, a time-out? Becomes YES, and the process proceeds to the error output in step S44.

  In step S33, it is checked whether or not the first passing sensor 10S that has already passed at this time point is OFF. If no object is detected and it is OFF, the determination is YES, and the process proceeds to step S34. If the first passage sensor 10S is ON at this time, the process proceeds to step S44 and the process proceeds to error output. This is because, when both the wheel sensors 12 and 13 and the first passage sensor 10S are ON, the succeeding two-wheeled vehicle that tries to participate together behind the two-wheeled vehicle A that has entered the participating vehicle path XD in advance. This is because there is a high possibility that A is coming.

  When the first gate 10 is closed in step S34, the process immediately proceeds to step S35, and the payment guidance output is made from the fee settlement machine 30, but this is specifically “insert the admission ticket”. For example, “Please start the checkout”, or the same wording is displayed on the display screen (not shown) of the charge checker 30.

  Next, in step S36, it is monitored whether or not fee payment processing has been started for the fee settlement machine 30. At the same time, a commuter pass is inserted into the fee settlement machine 30 in step S46, or a settlement cancellation button described later in step S47. It is repeatedly monitored whether a preset time elapses without pressing or after a preset time elapses. If an admission ticket is inserted in step S36, it will become YES and it will transfer to step S37 and a payment process will be performed. Alternatively, if the commuter pass is inserted in step S46, the process proceeds to step S49, and the withdrawal of the commuter pass is monitored. If the predetermined time has not passed, the time-out in step S50 is NO, and the time-pass withdrawal in step S49 is repeatedly monitored.

  When the user H completes the settlement process for the fee settlement machine 30 in step S37, the process proceeds to step S38, and the second gate 20 is opened. This is the same state as shown in FIG. In this state, when the two-wheeled vehicle A travels along the entry lane XD along the traveling direction, it first passes the monitoring state of the second passage sensor 20S shown in step S39, and the second passage sensor 20S is once turned on. Whether or not it is monitored and if it is within the monitoring area 20W of the second passage sensor 20S, YES is determined in step S39, the process proceeds to step S40, and this time the second passage sensor 20S is completely turned OFF. Is monitored. If it is completely OFF, step S40 becomes YES and the process proceeds to the next step S41. Note that whether or not it is completely OFF may be determined to be completely OFF when OFF is continuously output for a predetermined time or more. If the preset time has not elapsed, the time-out is YES in step S54, and the process proceeds to alarm output in step S53.

  In step S41, it is further determined whether or not both the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are OFF. If both are OFF and no object is detected, the determination is YES and the process proceeds to step S42. However, if either of them is ON, the determination is NO and the process proceeds to the alarm output in step S55. If the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12 and 13 are detecting any object, the bicycle as the two-wheeled vehicle A once proceeds to the detection range of the second passage sensor 20S. It is possible that the vehicle has returned before it has completely passed, so it is possible to return without leaving the field by confirming that both the first passage sensor 10S and the wheel sensors 12, 13 are OFF. By notifying the user who has been shut down with an alarm, it is possible to automatically handle the staff.

  If YES in step S41, the process proceeds to step S42 to close the second gates 20X and 20Y, and then proceeds to step S43 to open the first gates 10X and 10Y and finish the process. This state is the same as the state shown in FIG. 3 (6), and as a result, the state returns to the same state as in FIG. 2 (1).

  On the other hand, without entering the admission ticket into the fee settlement machine 30 in step S36, the process does not proceed to the settlement process. If YES, the process proceeds to step S51 to open the first gates 10X and 10Y, and after outputting an error in step S44, returns to the original. Here, the error output is realized by emitting a buzzer sound indicating an error by voice or displaying an error on a screen, but these may be ended after outputting for a few seconds, although not shown. As a result, since the user H who has once entered the entry lane XD has a means for retreating, it is not necessary for the staff to open the gate. Further, unless the admission ticket is inserted and the checkout process is started, even if the user is allowed to retreat, no illegal act is caused.

  Furthermore, if the admission ticket is not inserted into the fee settlement machine 30 in step S36 and the commuter pass cancellation button (not shown) is pressed in step S47 without inserting the commuter pass in step S46, step S51 is immediately performed. Then, the first gates 10X and 10Y are moved to allow the user to move backward. Although not shown in the figure, even if the process proceeds to the checkout process, if the checkout cancel button is pressed before the checkout is completed, the deposits up to that point can be returned and the admission ticket can be extracted again by the user. If the user removes the admission ticket, the process may proceed to step S51 to open the first gates 10X and 10Y and allow the user H to move backward.

  By doing in this way, if the user H who tried to participate once has no change and cannot perform the settlement process, the user H can move backward by pressing the settlement cancellation button (not shown). Therefore, the act of the user H parking the motorcycle A again at the bicycle parking lot and going to change the coins can be realized without requiring the staff.

<Second embodiment>
FIG. 6 is an operation flow of the bicycle parking gate system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and shows the operation of the entrance lane ED. Further, the step numbers of the respective operations shown in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals with respect to the same operations as those in FIG. Therefore, the description of the same operation will be omitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the admission ticket is not extracted in step S8, and a preset time elapses and time-out occurs in step S20. If YES, the process proceeds to step S21, where the once-issued admission ticket is collected inside the ticket issuing machine 1, then the process proceeds to step S22 to open the first gate device 10, and step S16 After the error output at step S10, the user H returns to the original state, and even the user H who has entered the entrance lane ED is allowed to move backward, but in the second embodiment, in addition to this, in step S10, the second step Before the passage sensor 20S is turned on, it is monitored whether or not an admission ticket has been inserted in step S27, and the admission ticket that the user H has just extracted is inserted again into the ticket removal / insertion port IS of the ticket issuing machine 1, and Is the same data as the admission ticket issued immediately before (ticket ID, ticketing time, machine number, etc.), step S27 becomes YES, and the process moves to step S28 through the route indicated by circle B. Second game 20X, 20Y was closing operation, to recover the ticket was accepted in step S21, through the route indicated by a circle A returns to the original after the error output at step S16.

  As a result, even if the user H who has once entered the entrance lane ED and pulled out the entrance ticket has a means to retreat by inserting the ticket into the ticket issuing machine 1 again, There is no need to deal with opening 10Y. In addition, even if the admission ticket is extracted in this way, if the ticket is returned as it is, even if the user H is allowed to move backward, no illegal action will occur.

  Further, although not shown in the flow, when collecting the admission ticket that has been once extracted, the second time of step S10 even if a preset time, for example, 20 seconds elapses due to the elapsed time in the time-out monitoring stage of step S23. If the passage sensor 20S of the car does not turn ON, an announcement or display such as “When you cancel the admission, please insert the removed admission ticket into the ticket insertion slot” is output, and the user H can retreat. It is also preferable to monitor whether or not an admission ticket has been inserted in step S27 as described above until a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In both the above-described embodiment and the second embodiment, when a time-out occurs without detecting the passage sensor, steps S24 and S26 in FIGS. 4 and 6 and steps S53 and S55 in FIG. 5 are performed. As described above, only the alarm output is set. However, since it is highly possible that the user is fraudulent at this stage, the first and second gate devices 10 and 20 are automatically opened. No processing is performed, and the processing is stopped only by alarm output. At the same time, an announcement or display may be output indicating that the management office is to be contacted via an interphone or the like. Of course, by remote operation from the management office side, the first and second gate devices 10, 20 etc. are opened, the user H is instructed to enter or retreat, and then the processing is reset. Is naturally possible.

  The configuration of the bicycle parking gate system described in the embodiment of the present invention is an example, and the embodiment of the present invention described above is a preferable specific example of the present invention, and various technically preferable limitations are given. In some cases, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments unless specifically described to limit the present invention.

  The technology of the present invention is expected to be installed and used at an entrance or exit of a pay bicycle parking lot.
