FIG. 5 is an example of a reference table T in which the operation ID number, the usage ID number, and the corresponding authority are registered in the storage unit 51.
As shown in FIG. 5, the reference table T is associated with the registrant identification information, the registrant name (user name) for which the operation is permitted, the operation authority, and the operation ID number, and the registrant identification information. And the name of the registrant (vehicle name) that is permitted to use, and the usage authority are associated.
The registrant identification information indicates the identification information associated with the registrant name. For example, when the operation ID number (for example, the password "2001") is input from the operation panel 22, the operation ID number is changed to the operation ID number. Information that identifies the corresponding registrant (for example, registrant identification information "000001") is displayed on the display unit 33a.

The registrant name includes the name of the user who has received the operation education, the name of the vehicle 12 to which the user has the right to use, and the operator who operates the mechanical parking device 10 other than the driver of the vehicle 12 (the person who has received the operation education). ) Etc. are shown.
In the present embodiment, the registrant information associated with the operation ID number and the usage ID number is not displayed directly on the display unit 33a because the "registrant name" may be personal information, and the "registrant" is not displayed. "Identification information" is shown. Further, at the request of the user, the personal name, the nickname, the name of the vehicle 12, the management number on the user side, and the like can be registered (not shown) in the reference table T and displayed. At the time of management or maintenance, the worker can read the reference table T of the storage unit 51 to check, register, edit, etc. the combination of the registrant identification information and the registrant name and the ID of the authentication medium.

As for the usage authority, the availability of the vehicle 12 is set, and the ○ mark indicates that the vehicle has the usage authority, and the × mark indicates that the usage authority does not exist.
As for the operation authority, whether or not the operation is possible is set for the user who has received the operation education, and the ○ mark indicates that the user has the operation authority, and the × mark indicates that the operation authority does not exist.
If one vehicle 12 is to be loaded and unloaded by one person as in the conventional case, even if one ID input from the authentication medium is given both usage authority and operation authority in the reference table T. Good.
As an authentication medium, for example, a personal identification number, an IC tag 62, an IC card, a remote controller, an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) in-vehicle device, or the like is used.

In the present embodiment, the personal identification number is used for the authentication of the operation authority. Therefore, when the personal identification number (operation ID number) is input from the input unit 33b, the input personal identification number is collated in the reference table T and input. The registrant identification information of the registrant name corresponding to the password is read out and displayed on the display unit 33a.
Further, in the present embodiment, since the IC tag 62 is used for the authentication of the usage authority, when the identification information (usage ID number) of the IC tag 62 is input from the ID reading unit 32, it is collated in the reference table T. , The registrant identification information of the registrant name corresponding to the input usage ID number is read out and displayed on the display unit 33a.
If it is registered in the reference table T, the authentication is successful and the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 can be continued, and if it is not registered in the reference table, the authentication fails and the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 cannot be continued. In this way, if the authentication fails, the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 by a person who does not have the operation authority is prevented, and the use of the mechanical parking device 10 by the vehicle 12 which does not have the usage authority is prevented.

Further, as another example, for example, the operation panel 22 is provided with a transmission / reception unit (not shown) capable of exchanging information with some remote controller by wireless communication, and the identification number of the remote controller input via the transmission / reception unit is used as an operation ID number. Alternatively, it may be identified as a usage ID number. Further, when using a keyless entry, a smart entry, or the like, the identification number of the vehicle key may be shared as the usage ID number.
As another example, for example, a receiving unit (not shown) capable of receiving a control number assigned to the ETC on-board unit (not shown) is provided near the operation panel 22 or the entry / exit door 15, and is input via the receiving unit. The management number of the ETC on-board unit may be identified as the usage ID number. Using the ETC on-board unit has the advantage that the user can authenticate the use without getting off the vehicle 12 at the time of warehousing. In this case, it is necessary to separately register a personal identification number, an IC card, or the like as an authentication medium for authentication of use at the time of delivery.

The authentication unit 52 collates the operation ID number and the usage ID number received by the operation panel 22 with the reference table T registered in advance, and performs the operation authentication and the usage authentication. The authentication unit 52 outputs the result of the operation authentication and the result of the usage authentication as an authentication result signal to the operation panel 22.
The control unit 53 controls the mechanical parking device 10 according to the result of the operation authentication by the authentication unit 52 and the authentication result which is the result of the usage authentication.

When the "Open Door" button is pressed (step SA8 in FIG. 8), the entry / exit door 15 opens (step SA9 in FIG. 8).
If the operation authentication fails due to an incorrect input, the screen returns to the input screen. When the cancel button is pressed, the warehousing reservation is canceled and the flow ends.

In this way, the operator authenticates the operation before operating the mechanical parking device 10. Since the mechanical parking device 10 can be operated only when the operation authentication is successful, it is possible to prevent the mechanical parking device 10 from being operated by a user who has not received operation training. Further, after the empty pallet arrives at the boarding / alighting room 20, the operation authentication is performed without opening the entry / exit door 15 automatically, thereby preventing the entry / exit door 15 from opening in the absence of the handler.

The salesman A gets into the business vehicle 12y to be stocked, enters the business vehicle 12y into the boarding / alighting room 20, puts the business vehicle 12y on the pallet 17, and performs the work in the boarding / alighting room 20 (step SA10 in FIG. 9). Salesman A gets off from the business vehicle 12y, exits from the boarding / alighting room 20, and confirms the operation panel 22.
Before executing the operation of storing the business vehicle 12y, it is necessary to confirm that the inside of the business vehicle 12y and the boarding / alighting room 20 are unmanned. It cannot be determined that he is not the driver of the business vehicle 12y. For example, the manager who manages the mechanical parking device 10 cannot grasp whether or not a person other than the driver is on board in the business vehicle 12y, and cannot determine whether or not the vehicle is unmanned. Therefore, the use authentication of the business vehicle 12y driven by the driver is performed.

Since the usage authentication is required on the operation screen 33, the salesman A holds the IC tag 62y over the ID reading unit 32 to input the password to the operation panel 22 (step SA11 in FIG. 9). As a result, it is determined whether or not the personal identification number of the same vehicle as the vehicle (for example, the business vehicle 12y) at the time of warehousing reservation is matched, and whether or not the vehicle 12 is registered in the reference table T is determined. Since only the business vehicle 12y that can be used in this way can be stored in the mechanical parking device 10, it is possible to prevent the vehicle 12 that is not permitted to be used from being stored.

The salesman A confirms whether the boarding / alighting room 20 is unmanned, and when the salesman A presses the unmanned confirmation button 49, the unmanned confirmation button 49 provided on the operation panel 22 becomes effective (FIG. 9). Step SA12).
When the usage authentication is successful and the unmanned state is confirmed, the operation authentication request screen is displayed on the operation screen 33. The salesman A inputs a password that is the operation ID number of the salesman A, collates it with the reference table T, and executes operation authentication (step SA13 in FIG. 9). As a result, it is determined whether or not the user is the same as the user who has been authenticated in step SA6 of FIG. 8, and whether or not the user is registered in the reference table T.
In this way, determining whether the user is the same when opening and closing the warehousing / delivery door 15 leads to prevention of confinement.

When the safety in the boarding / alighting room 20 is confirmed and the "confirmation OK" button is pressed (step SA14 in FIG. 9), the salesman A presses the "close door" button as an operation to close the door (FIG. 9). Step SA15), the entry / exit door 15 is closed (step SA16 in FIG. 9). After the unmanned confirmation is performed in step SA12 of FIG. 9, the operation of closing the warehousing / delivery door 15 cannot be performed unless the "confirmation OK" button of the safety confirmation by the operation-authenticated user is pressed. ..

Further, the operation authentication may be performed before the mechanical parking device 10 starts (starts) the warehousing process (step SA17 in FIG. 9). In this case, the salesman A inputs the password for the operation authentication, the salesman A confirms the safety, the "confirmation OK" button is pressed (step SA18 in FIG. 9), and the "start" button is pressed. (Step SA19 in FIG. 9), the mechanical parking device 10 is activated and the warehousing process is started (step SA20 in FIG. 9).
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the operation authentication is performed at the timing of starting (starting) the warehousing process, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the warehousing / delivery door 15 is closed in step SA16 of FIG. At that stage, the operation authentication may be omitted and the warehousing process may be started.

In this way, by performing usage authentication at the stage of warehousing reservation of the business vehicle 12y and entering the boarding / alighting room 20, it is determined whether or not the user has the right to use the mechanical parking device 10, and the warehousing / exit door 15 and the mechanical type are used. By performing operation authentication at the stage of operation such as activation of the parking device 10, it is determined whether or not the user has the operation authority. As a result, even in the case where the sales position 12x, 12y, 12z used by the sales position A is used by another sales position B, the usage authority of the sales positions 12x, 12y, 12z is authenticated and the usage authority is authenticated. The operation authority is also authenticated for the sales person B who operates the machine. In this way, it is possible to prevent the operation of lending the password used by the first sales position to another second sales position again as in the conventional case, and it is efficient even if the vehicle 12 and the user (user) do not always match. Authentication can be performed.

[Vehicle delivery]
FIG. 7B shows an outline of the flow of the vehicle 12 at the time of delivery. Operation authentication is performed in the device activation process in which the background of the flow is outlined and the opening / closing process of the entry / exit door 15, and usage authentication is performed in the issue reservation process in which the background is shaded. A specific operation flow of the warehousing process will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.
Here, a case where another salesman B delivers the business vehicle 12y that the salesman A has previously received will be described as an example.

A user (for example, salesman B) who leaves the business vehicle 12y presses the "reserve" button on the initial screen displayed on the operation screen 33 (step SB1 in FIG. 10), and when the business vehicle 12y is released, , The "delivery" button is pressed (step SB2 in FIG. 10). On the operation screen 33, the usage authentication screen is displayed. For example, when the salesman B leaves the vehicle of the sales vehicle 12y, the IC tag 62y managed together with the key Ky of the sales vehicle 12y is held over the ID reading unit 32 to provide a password on the operation panel 22. The information of the number (for example, tag No. 2) is input, and the usage authentication is executed (step SB3 in FIG. 10).
Further, when the pallet 17 on which the business vehicle 12y corresponding to the IC tag 62y is placed is associated with the pallet 17, it can be used for checking the pallet 17 to be called by reading the password of the IC tag 62y.

It is determined whether or not the personal identification number of the usage authentication input to the operation panel 22 is the information registered in the reference table T. When the password is the information registered in the reference table T, the usage authentication is successful, and the operation screen 33 displays a screen for confirming the reservation. When the "Yes" button is pressed by the salesman B (step SB4 in FIG. 10), the acceptance of the delivery reservation is completed (step SB5 in FIG. 10). When the delivery reservation is accepted, the actual pallet on which the business vehicle 12y is placed is called.
If the usage authentication fails due to an incorrect input, the screen returns to the input screen. The flow ends when there is no input for the specified time or when the stop button is pressed.

In order to start the activation (delivery) of the mechanical parking device 10 on the operation screen 33, the input of the operation ID number is required, and the operation authentication is started. The personal identification number is input by the sales person B who handles the mechanical parking device 10 (step SB6 in FIG. 10). If the entered password is registered in the reference table T, the authentication is successful and the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 can be continued. If the operation authentication fails due to an incorrect input, the screen returns to the input screen. When the cancel button is pressed, the issue reservation is canceled and the flow ends.
Even at the time of delivery, if the authentication fails, the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 by a person who does not have the operation authority is prevented, and the use of the mechanical parking device 10 by the vehicle 12 which does not have the usage authority is prevented.

When the safety in the parking lot is confirmed by the salesman B on the monitor or the like provided on the operation panel 22, the "confirmation OK" button is pressed (step SB7 in FIG. 10), and the "start" button is pressed (in FIG. 10). Step SB8), the mechanical parking device 10 is activated, and the warehousing process is started. (Step SB9 in FIG. 10).
The actual pallet on which the business vehicle 12y is placed, which is associated with the usage ID number, is set as the pallet to be delivered, and when the actual pallet arrives at the boarding / alighting room 20 (step SB10 in FIG. 10), the entry / exit door 15 is opened. Operation authentication is started on the operation screen 33 (step SB11 in FIG. 11). The salesman B inputs the security number of the salesman B.
When the safety in the boarding / alighting room 20 is confirmed and the "confirmation OK" button is pressed (step SB12 in FIG. 11), the salesman B presses the "open door" button (step SB13 in FIG. 11) to enter and leave the garage. The door 15 is opened (step SB14 in FIG. 11).

The salesman B gets into the business vehicle 12y to be delivered, exits the business vehicle 12y from the pallet 17, leaves the business vehicle 12y from the boarding / alighting room 20, and completes the work in the boarding / alighting room 20 (step SA15 in FIG. 11). The salesman B gets off the business vehicle 12y and checks the operation panel 22.
Since the operation authentication for closing the warehousing / delivery door 15 is required on the operation screen 33, the salesman B inputs the password and performs the operation authentication (step SB16 in FIG. 11). The password is collated with the reference table T, and it is determined whether or not the operation is performed by the same user as the user who opened the entry / exit door 15, and whether or not the user is registered in the reference table T. ..

When the safety confirmation is performed by the salesman B, the "confirmation OK" button is pressed (step SB17 in FIG. 11), and it is detected that the "close door" button on the warehousing / delivery door 15 is pressed (step in FIG. 11). SB18), the entry / exit door 15 is closed (step SB19 in FIG. 11).
In the warehousing process and the warehousing process, if the operation is not detected within a predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds) after the input of the password for the above-mentioned usage authentication and operation authentication, the operation is not detected before the input of the password (that is, use). It may be possible to return to the state before authentication or before operation authentication) and perform authentication again.

Conventionally, when a vehicle is to be shared by a plurality of people, the password used at the time of warehousing / delivery associated with the vehicle is shared with other users, so that the warehousing / delivery of one vehicle 12 by a plurality of users is performed. I was forced to do it. It is possible to manage that the vehicle is a contracted vehicle by using the PIN code associated with the vehicle, but even if there is a user who has not received operation training, as long as the PIN code is known, the mechanical parking device There was a risk that the mechanical parking device 10 could not be operated safely because the 10 could be operated.
According to the present embodiment, in both warehousing and warehousing, a user who authenticates the use by authentication using the usage ID number assigned to the vehicle 12 to be warehousing and warehousing, and operates the mechanical parking device 10 separately from the usage authentication. Operation authentication is performed by authentication using the operation ID number assigned to the user. In this way, the mechanical parking device can be operated by a plurality of users (for example, n people) in an n: m usage mode in which a plurality of vehicles (for example, m units) are operated.
Further, in the present embodiment, since the usage authentication is performed for each vehicle, the vehicles that can be used by the user are not limited.

Even if the vehicle 12 provided with the IC tag 62 is used by a user who has not received operation education, the mechanical parking device 10 is activated because the operation ID number is not correctly input. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the use by users who have not received operation training.
Even if a person who has received operation training parks a vehicle 12 that is not registered for use (for example, a private vehicle), the vehicle 12 that is not registered as a usable vehicle 12 is a machine. Since it is not possible to enter or leave the parking device 10, it is possible to prevent problems caused by parking an unexpected vehicle 12 in the mechanical parking device 10 (for example, a failure due to an excess of the vehicle length or height). be able to.

Further, even if the operation ID number is previously registered in the reference table T, the administrator of the mechanical parking device 10 deprives the user of the authority by deleting the operation ID number from the reference table T for some reason. You can also do it. For example, by deleting the operation ID number of the user whose usage fee of the mechanical parking device 10 continues to be delinquent from the reference table T, the user inputs the operation ID number after being deleted from the reference table T. However, since the operation authentication fails and the mechanical parking device 10 cannot be operated, it is possible to prevent the user who is behind in payment from leaving the vehicle 12.

As described above, according to the standing control device 50 of the mechanical parking device 10 according to the present embodiment, the mechanical parking device 10 provided with the standing control device 50, and the control method and control program of the mechanical parking device 10. The usage authority of the mechanical parking device 10 is associated with the vehicle 12, and the operation authority of the mechanical parking device 10 is associated with the operator and stored in the storage unit 51 as a reference table T. The usage authority assigned to the vehicle 12 is an authority that allows the mechanical parking device 10 to enter the vehicle or the vehicle 12 to be released from the mechanical parking device 10, and the vehicle 12 is reserved for entry or exit. That is also included. The operation authority assigned to the operator is to operate the mechanical parking device 10 mechanically, for example, opening / closing the entrance / exit door 15 or moving the lift 14 up / down for warehousing or unloading of the vehicle 12. It includes performing start-up operations for starting transportation in automatic operation. When the identification information such as the operation ID number and the usage ID number is input to the operation panel 22 (input unit 33b or ID reading unit 32), the vehicle 12 is used according to the identification information based on the authority associated with the identification information. Whether or not the operation is possible is authenticated and whether or not the operator can be operated is authenticated.

The operator who has received the operation education, which is an explanation about the handling (operation, use, etc.) of the mechanical parking device 10 to be operated, is given the operation authority, and the vehicle 12 which is permitted to use the mechanical parking device 10 has the usage authority. By giving, authentication for each of the operator and the vehicle can be performed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the entry / exit operation of the operator who has not received the operation education, and it is possible to prevent the entry / exit of the vehicle which is not made available.
Further, according to the mechanical parking device 10 of the present embodiment, the availability of the mechanical parking device 10 based on the usage authority and the operation availability of the mechanical parking device 10 based on the operation authority are individually authenticated. Even in an environment in which a plurality of vehicles (for example, a business vehicle) are used by a plurality of operators (for example, a salesman), the operator of the mechanical parking device 10 and the vehicle 12 can be limited, and the machine. This leads to an improvement in the safety of the type parking device 10.

Further, the usage ID number associated with the usage authority may be managed together with the key of the vehicle 12 to which the usage authority is given. This is because the key of the vehicle 12 is required when moving the vehicle 12, so by managing the key and the usage ID number (identification information) together, the identification information can be quickly input when the usage authority is authenticated. It can be input to the means (ID reading unit 32), and the authentication work can be completed quickly.
Further, by performing authentication based on the operation authority for each operation of the mechanical parking device 10, it is possible to more reliably prevent a user who does not have the operation authority from operating the mechanical parking device 10 mechanically.
Further, in the reference table T in the present embodiment, the IC tag is used as the usage ID and the password is used as the operation ID, but the combination is not limited to this combination and may be the reverse combination. , IC tags that are different from each other may be used as the authentication medium. Furthermore, it is also possible to manage the usage authority by using the IDs of a plurality of authentication media such as a remote controller, an IC tag, and ETC, and the operation authority by using the IDs of a plurality of authentication media such as an IC card and a personal identification number. It is possible with T.

In the above embodiment, the input device of the operation panel 22 has been described by using a numeric keypad, a push button switch, and the like, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other input devices such as a push button on the screen configured by using a touch panel are used. It may be an input means. Further, the operation ID number has been described as using an identification number based on an object such as a personal identification number, an IC card, or a remote controller, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, voice, iris, or the like can be used as a method for identifying a user. Biometric authentication such as fingerprints and fingerprints such as faces may be used.
In addition, using the certification medium, the vehicle type required to select the registered vehicle type, that is, the vehicle height such as high roof, mid roof, low roof, and the storage position according to the hangar space such as vehicle width and length. It does not limit the use of the same or other authentication medium in the control of the parking lot separately from the present invention, such as managing the type information separately.
