It is equipped with a mobile terminal 5 capable of communicating with the management server 4.

The surveillance camera 2 is a wide-field camera capable of capturing an image of the entire parking lot to be monitored by one unit, and constantly transmits image data of the entire parking lot to the management server 4. Of course, the parking lot may be shared and imaged by two or more cameras. Further, the surveillance camera 2 may be installed on a moving body such as a drone instead of being fixedly installed in the parking lot.

The WiFi router 3 enables communication between the management server 4 and the mobile terminal 5 by performing wireless communication with the mobile terminal 5 by WiFi.

The management server 4 as a management device according to the present invention is a computer that manages the entire parking lot monitoring system, and is a parking management unit 41 composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc., and various types generated by the parking management unit 41. It includes a parking lot DB (database) 42 as a management information storage unit for holding management information, a display unit 43 consisting of an LCD or the like as a user I / F (interface), and an input unit 44 consisting of various keys or the like. ..

The mobile terminal 5 is a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or the like possessed by a monitor (here, an employee of an entertainment facility or the like) who looks around and monitors the parking lot, and has a wireless communication function with the WiFi router 3. Although not shown, if the WiFi router 3 cannot cover the entire parking lot, the mobile terminal 5 communicates with the management server 4 using a carrier line.

The parking management unit 41 of the management server 4 has parking area warehousing detection means 41a, parking area warehousing detection means 41b, and first management information processing as means realized by the hardware, ROM, and program (software) on the hard disk. The means 41c, the second managed information processing means 41d, and the third managed information processing means 41e are provided.

The parking area warehousing detection means 41a processes the video data from the surveillance camera 2 to detect warehousing for each of the plurality of parking areas partitioned by the parking lot. Each parking area has a space where one vehicle can be parked. The parking area exit detecting means 41b detects the exit of each parking area of the parking lot by processing the video data from the surveillance camera 2.

The first management information processing means 41c generates first management information or the like indicating that the inside of the vehicle existing in the parking area is unconfirmed based on the warehousing detection by the parking area warehousing detection means 41a. Write to the parking lot DB 42.

The second management information processing means 41d generates second management information or the like indicating that the parking area has been confirmed, based on the confirmation result of the unconfirmed parking area requested to be confirmed by the management server 4. , The first management information held in the parking lot DB 42 is rewritten.

The third management information processing means 41e generates a third management information or the like indicating that confirmation of the parking area is unnecessary based on the delivery detection by the parking area delivery detection means 41b, and holds it in the parking lot DB 42. The first management information or the second management information is rewritten.

<Parking lot DB data structure and retained information>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the parking lot database and the temporal change of the retained data in the parking lot monitoring system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Here, FIG. 2A shows a data structure, and FIGS. 2B, C, and D show data held at 8:30, 9:30, and 10:30, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the data 42a held in the parking lot DB 42 includes a “parking area”, a “receipt time”, a “scheduled confirmation time”, a “safety confirmation flag”, a “confirmation implementation time”, and It consists of "remarks".

The "parking area" is the identification information of the parking area. The "parking time" is the time when the vehicle enters the parking area (parking starts). The "scheduled confirmation time" is the scheduled confirmation time inside the warehousing vehicle set after a certain time (60 minutes in this case) from the warehousing time. The "safety confirmation flag" is written as 0 (OFF) when safety is confirmed, that is, when the inside of the vehicle is not confirmed (unconfirmed), and 1 (ON) is written when it is completed (confirmed). That is, 0 and 1 of the "safety confirmation flag" correspond to the first management information and the second management information, respectively. The "confirmation time" is the time when the confirmation was performed. Usually, it is carried out at the scheduled confirmation time, but it may be carried out earlier in combination with other parking areas as described later.

At 8:30 (for example, before the start of business) shown in FIG. 2B, there are no vehicles in the parking lot, so all the data are empty.

On the other hand, at 9:30 shown in FIG. 2C, the goods were stored in Area 1 at 9:00 and Area 2 at 9:20, and the scheduled confirmation times were 10:00 and 10:20, respectively. The state in which the safety confirmation flag is set to 0 (OFF) is maintained.

Further, at 10:30 shown in FIG. 2D, the goods are stored in the area 3 at 10:15, the scheduled confirmation time is set at 11:15, and the safety confirmation flag is set to 0 (OFF). As well as the fact that the confirmation implementation time of the vehicles in Area 1 and Area 2 was 10:01 and 10:02, the safety confirmation flag was set to 1 (ON), and as "remarks". It is retained that Area 2 was confirmed together with Area 1.

<Operation of parking lot monitoring system>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a related operation between the management server and the mobile terminal in the parking lot monitoring system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

The management server receives the video data constantly transmitted from the surveillance camera 2 (FIG. 1) (step ST1), analyzes the video data, performs detection processing of the warehousing vehicle / exit vehicle (step ST2), and parks. It is determined whether or not there is a warehousing vehicle / warehousing vehicle for each area (step ST3).

When a warehousing vehicle and / or a warehousing vehicle is detected (step ST3: Yes), step ST4 is executed. That is, the warehousing time, the scheduled confirmation time, and the safety confirmation flag (= 0) are written in the parking lot DB for the warehousing vehicle, and the data related to the corresponding vehicle on the parking lot DB is cleared (erased) for the warehousing vehicle. That is, the empty data corresponds to the third management information. Here, the data related to the corresponding vehicle on the parking lot DB is deleted by, for example, the following method. The number analyzed from the video data acquired at the time of warehousing is recorded in the remarks column of the parking lot DB, the number is analyzed from the video data acquired at the time of delivery, the corresponding number is detected from the remarks column of the parking lot DB, and the relevant number is detected. Delete the data corresponding to the number.

After executing step ST4, the management server proceeds to step ST5 and transmits the data of the parking lot DB to the mobile terminal. If neither the warehousing vehicle nor the warehousing vehicle is detected (step ST3: none), the management server proceeds to step ST5 as it is.

The mobile terminal receives the data of the parking lot DB from the management server, and updates the internal data and the display screen based on the received data (step ST11). An example of the display screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

When the scheduled confirmation time of the parking area where the safety confirmation flag is 0 is reached (step ST6), the management server transmits a confirmation request for the vehicle existing in the parking area to the mobile terminal (step ST7). The mobile terminal receives the confirmation request and displays a display screen showing the confirmation request (step ST12).

When the employee executes the confirmation and inputs the confirmation result to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal updates the internal data and the display screen based on the input confirmation result, and sends the confirmation result to the management server (step ST13). At this time, the display mode is different depending on whether the confirmation result is left unattended or left unattended. After that, the mobile terminal repeats from the process of step ST11.

When the management server receives the confirmation result (step ST8: Yes), the management server reflects the confirmation result in the parking lot DB. That is, the safety confirmation flag is set to 1 (step ST9). If the child is left unattended, write it in the remarks column. After that, the management server repeats from the process of step ST1.

<Display screen of mobile terminal>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a mobile terminal at the time of executing the flow shown in FIG. Here, areas 1 to 5 are shown as parking areas. In addition, the current time is displayed below the display range of the parking area.

FIG. 4A shows a state in which vehicles exist in areas 1 and 3 and are unconfirmed, that is, before the scheduled confirmation time. This screen, which is displayed in step ST11 of FIG. 3, is an example of the screen.

Further, FIG. 4B shows a display screen when a confirmation request for a vehicle existing in the area 1 is received. This screen is an example of the screen displayed in step ST12 of FIG.

Further, FIG. 4C shows a screen displayed when the confirmation request shown in FIG. 4B is displayed and then the confirmation of the vehicle existing in the area 3 is performed together with the confirmation of the vehicle existing in the area 1. ing. This screen is an example of the screen displayed in step ST13 of FIG.

Further, FIG. 4D shows a state when the vehicle has arrived in the area 5 after the state shown in FIG. 4C and the scheduled confirmation time has not been reached. This screen, which is displayed in step ST11 of FIG. 3, is an example of the screen.

Further, FIG. 4E shows a display screen when a confirmation request for a vehicle parked in the area 5 is received after the state shown in FIG. 4D. This screen is an example of the screen displayed in step ST12 of FIG.

Further, FIG. 4F shows a state after the confirmation of the vehicle existing in the area 5 is completed after the state shown in FIG. 4E, and the vehicle existing in the area 1 is released. This screen, which is displayed in step ST11 of FIG. 3, is an example of the screen.

For the sake of convenience, the circles containing the characters "not yet", "necessary", and "done" indicate unconfirmed, required confirmation, and confirmed, respectively, but the actual display of the parking area image is used. It is preferable to display each state in an identifiable manner by the color, display pattern (lighting, blinking), and the like. In addition, a confirmation request may be used together by voice.

The following modifications (1) to (5) can be made in this embodiment.
(1) Instead of performing patrol monitoring after a predetermined time from the warehousing time, regular monitoring times at regular intervals irrelevant to the warehousing time (eg, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, ...・).
(2) Instead of spontaneously transmitting the data of the parking lot DB 42 to the mobile terminal 5 every time the warehousing is detected and each time the warehousing is detected, the management server 4 transmits the data in response to the transmission request from the mobile terminal 5. In this case, the transmission request may be set to the periodic monitoring time at regular time intervals, which is irrelevant to the above-mentioned warehousing time.
(3) Entry and exit of each parking area are detected by various sensors (infrared sensor, ultrasonic sensor, weight sensor, etc.) provided in each parking area. It can also be linked with the vehicle lock system.
(4) By postponing the confirmation implementation time, the number of confirmation implementations will be reduced. That is, when the oldest warehousing time for a vehicle that has not been confirmed inside the vehicle is 14:00 and the child is monitored for one hour or more in the vehicle, even if 14:30 is the regular monitoring time, it is 15:00. Postpone to minutes. If the vehicle leaves the garage during this period, the monitoring time can be extracted from another oldest time, further improving efficiency.
(5) The mobile terminal 5 is provided with the function of the management server 4. In the case of this system configuration, the management server 4 disappears, and the mobile terminal 5 processes the video data from the surveillance camera 2.

[Second Embodiment]
<Outline configuration of system>
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a parking lot monitoring system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

The parking lot monitoring system according to the present embodiment is different from the parking lot monitoring system according to the first embodiment mainly in the following points (1) to (3).
(1) Instead of the surveillance camera 2 that constantly transmits the video data of the entire parking lot to the management server 4, the warehousing sensor 6 and the warehousing sensor 7 that detect the warehousing and warehousing of the vehicle in the parking lot and notify the management server 4 respectively. Was provided.
(2) The management server 4 manages warehousing, warehousing, confirmation necessity, etc. for the entire parking lot, that is, without identifying the parking area, instead of managing warehousing, warehousing, confirmation necessity, etc. for each parking area. do.
(3) The mobile terminal 5 inputs the confirmation result of the employee instead of displaying the unconfirmed vehicle, the confirmed vehicle, etc. for each parking area on the display screen based on the data of the parking lot DB 42 from the management server 4. Based on this, the confirmed vehicle is displayed on the display screen.

As shown in FIG. 5, the parking lot monitoring system according to the present embodiment includes an warehousing sensor 6, a warehousing sensor 7, a WiFi router 3, a management server 4, and a WiFi router 3 connected to a network such as a LAN. A mobile terminal 5 capable of communicating with the management server 4 via the network 1 is provided.

The warehousing sensor 6 is provided at the entrance of the parking lot, detects the warehousing of the vehicle in the parking lot, and notifies the management server 4. Further, the delivery sensor 7 is provided at the exit of the parking lot, detects the departure of the vehicle from the parking lot, and notifies the management server 4. The warehousing sensor 6 and the warehousing sensor 7 are composed of an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a video camera, and the like.

The WiFi router 3 and the mobile terminal 5 have the same configuration as the WiFi router 3, the management server 4, and the mobile terminal 5 according to the first embodiment. On the other hand, the management server 4 has a different functional configuration of the parking management unit 41 from the management server 4 according to the first embodiment. That is, the parking management unit 41 does not include the parking area warehousing detecting means 41a and the parking area warehousing detecting means 41b. Further, as will be described later, the data structure of the data held in the parking lot DB 42 is also different from that of the first embodiment.

<Parking lot DB data structure>
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data structure of a parking lot database in the parking lot monitoring system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the data 42b held in the parking lot DB 42 includes “vacant / warehousing”, “confirmation unnecessary / confirmation required / confirmed”, and “scheduled confirmation time”.

The "vacant / warehousing" is the initial state, that is, "vacant" when no vehicle is warehousing in the parking lot such as before the start of business, and "stocking" every time a vehicle is warehousing in the parking lot. In addition, it becomes "vacant" when all vehicles leave the parking lot.

"Confirmation not required / confirmation required / confirmed" becomes "confirmation not required" when "receipt / vacant" is "vacant", "vacant / warehousing" is "receipt", and the confirmation result is from the mobile terminal 5. When it is not notified, it becomes "confirmation required", "vacant / warehousing" is "warehousing", and after the confirmation result is notified from the mobile terminal 5, it becomes "confirmed". That is, "confirmation required", "confirmed", and "confirmation not required" correspond to the first management information, the second management information, and the third management information, respectively.

The "scheduled confirmation time" is a time after a predetermined time (for example, 60 minutes) from the warehousing time, as in the first embodiment.

<Operation of parking lot monitoring system>
FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the parking lot monitoring system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing data held in the parking lot database and the display screen of the mobile terminal in the parking lot monitoring system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the parking lot DB of the management server 4, "vacant" is written and held as "vacant / warehousing", and "confirmation unnecessary" is written and held as "confirmation unnecessary / confirmation required / confirmed". Further, the "scheduled confirmation time" is empty (null) (procedure S1).

When the power of the mobile terminal 5 is turned on by an employee (procedure S2), the mobile terminal 5 inquires of the management server 4 about the parking lot confirmation status (procedure S3). The management server 4 notifies the confirmation information in response to this inquiry (procedure S4). At this time, the management server 4 notifies "vacant" based on the data held in the parking lot DB 42. Based on the "vacancy" of the confirmation information received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that confirmation is unnecessary and omits the in-vehicle confirmation.

Next, the warehousing sensor 6 detects the warehousing and notifies the management server 4 of the warehousing (procedure S5). Based on the notification of warehousing, the management server 4 writes "warehousing", "confirmation required", and "time t1" (for example, 60 minutes after the warehousing time) in the parking lot DB (procedure S6), and confirms information to the mobile terminal 5. (Procedure S7). This confirmation information notification includes "goods receipt" and "time t1". The mobile terminal 5 receives the confirmation information and holds the "time t1" in the internal memory.

FIG. 8A shows an example of the data held in the parking lot DB 42 by executing the procedure S5. Here, the current time is set to 9:00 and the scheduled confirmation time is set to 10:00.

When the mobile terminal 5 reaches the time t1, that is, the scheduled confirmation time notified in the procedure S7, the mobile terminal 5 displays a message requesting confirmation from the employee, and the employee confirms the inside of the vehicle. At this time, the employee confirms all the vehicles existing in the parking lot that have not been confirmed. Therefore, all vehicles existing in the parking lot are unconfirmed. All vehicles are confirmed at the first confirmation.

FIG. 8B shows an image of the parking lot displayed on the mobile terminal 5 before the confirmation is performed, and FIG. 8C shows an image of the parking lot displayed based on the input of the confirmation result of the employee. As shown in the figure, only the images of areas 1 to 5 and the current time (10:00) are displayed before confirmation, but by inputting the confirmation result, it is displayed that the confirmation of area 1 has been completed. .. From these figures, it can be seen that there is an unconfirmed vehicle in area 1 of areas 1 to 5 at 10:00, and the inside of the vehicle has been confirmed at 10:02.

The mobile terminal 5 notifies the management server 4 of the confirmation result (procedure S8). Based on the notification of the confirmation result, the management server 4 changes "confirmation required" held in the parking lot DB to "confirmed" and changes "time t1" to "empty" (procedure S9).

After that, the delivery sensor 7 detects the delivery and notifies the management server 4 of the delivery (procedure S10). The management server 4 changes "confirmation required" and "confirmed" stored in the parking lot DB to "vacant" and "confirmation not required", respectively (procedure S10), and notifies the confirmation information including "vacant". (Procedure S11). Based on the "vacancy" of the confirmation information received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that the confirmation is unnecessary and omits the in-vehicle confirmation (procedure S12).

The operation sequence from the warehousing to the warehousing of one vehicle has been described above. Next, the operation sequence up to the warehousing and delivery of a plurality of vehicles will be described. If there is a warehousing between the procedure S7 in FIG. 7 and the scheduled confirmation time, the same procedure as in the procedures S5, S6, and S7 is repeated after the procedure S7. Hereinafter, these are referred to as procedures S5a, S6a, S7a.

Here, the content of the procedure S5a is the same as the content of the procedure S5 (when the notification of warehousing includes the time, only the time is different). In the procedure S6a, the "scheduled confirmation time (time t1)" written in the procedure S6 may or may not be changed from the time of the procedure S5a to a time after a predetermined time. In the procedure S7a, the “receipt” and the “scheduled confirmation time” are notified as in the procedure S7.

On the mobile terminal 5, when the earliest scheduled confirmation time (here, time t1, which is the scheduled confirmation time notified in step S7, the same applies hereinafter) is reached, all unconfirmed vehicles existing in the entire parking lot are confirmed inside the vehicle. I do. When there are unconfirmed vehicles in areas 1 and 3, the screen shown in FIG. 8D is displayed on the mobile terminal 5 by inputting the confirmation result of the employee.

If a part of a plurality of vehicles (for example, 1 out of 2 vehicles or 1 or 2 out of 3 vehicles) is delivered before the earliest scheduled confirmation time is reached, the delivery sensor 7 to the management server 4 You will be notified of the delivery to. Hereinafter, this procedure is referred to as procedure S10a. The content of the procedure S10a is the same as that of the procedure S10 (when the notification of delivery includes the time, only the time is different). The management server 4 does not change the "warehousing", "confirmation required", and "scheduled confirmation time" stored in the parking lot DB, and retains them as they are.

On the other hand, if all of the plurality of vehicles are delivered before the earliest scheduled confirmation time is reached, the management server 4 has "warehousing", "confirmation required", and "scheduled confirmation time" stored in the parking lot DB. Is rewritten as "vacant", "confirmation not required", and "empty", respectively, as in the procedure S11, and the confirmation information notification (vacant) is notified to the mobile terminal 5 as in the procedure S11. That is, the management server 4 subtracts the count number of the goods issue notification from the count number of the goods receipt notification, and changes to "vacant", "confirmation unnecessary", and "empty" only when the deduction becomes 0, and shifts to the mobile terminal 5. Notice.

When there is a warehousing between the procedure S9 and the procedure S10 in FIG. 7, the same procedure as the procedure S5, S6, S7 is repeated after the procedure S9. Hereinafter, these are referred to as procedures S5b, S6b, S7b.

Here, the content of the procedure S4b is the same as the content of the procedure S4 (when the receipt notification includes the time, only the time is different). In step S5b, the "confirmed" written in step S8 is rewritten as "confirmation required", and the time after a predetermined time from the warehousing time in step S4b is written as the "scheduled confirmation time". In the procedure S6b, the “receipt” and the “scheduled confirmation time” are notified in the same manner as in the procedure S6. When the scheduled confirmation time is reached, the mobile terminal 5 checks the inside of all unconfirmed vehicles existing in the entire parking lot.

[Third Embodiment]
In the parking lot monitoring system according to the third embodiment of the present invention, in the parking lot monitoring system according to the second embodiment, the management server 4 voluntarily sends a confirmation information notification for each warehousing detection and each warehousing detection. Instead of transmitting to 5, it is transmitted in response to an inquiry from the mobile terminal 5.

The schematic configuration of the parking lot monitoring system according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the second embodiment (FIG. 5), and the differences are the data structure of the data held by the parking lot DB 42 and the operation of the system. Is. Therefore, with respect to this embodiment, FIG. 5 will be referred to mainly when explaining these differences.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a data structure of a parking lot database in the parking lot monitoring system according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the data 42c held in the parking lot DB 42 includes "vacant / warehousing", "confirmation not required / confirmation required / confirmed", and "next inquiry time". In other words, the "next inquiry time" is provided instead of the "scheduled confirmation time" in the second embodiment.

The "next inquiry time" is the next inquiry time specified by the management server 4 in the confirmation information notified in response to the inquiry from the mobile terminal 5, and is a predetermined fixed time interval for each inquiry ( For example, every 60 minutes) is updated at a predetermined time. The first inquiry is made when the power of the mobile terminal 5 is turned on.

<Operation of parking lot monitoring system>
FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the parking lot monitoring system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

In the parking lot DB 42 of the management server 4, "vacant" is written as "vacant / warehousing", "confirmation not required" as "confirmation unnecessary / confirmation required / confirmed", and "time ta" as "next inquiry time". It is retained. (Procedure S101).

When the power of the mobile terminal 5 is turned on by an employee (procedure S102), the mobile terminal 5 inquires of the management server 4 about the parking lot confirmation status (procedure S103). The management server 4 notifies the confirmation information in response to this inquiry (procedure S104). At this time, the management server 4 notifies "confirmation not required" and "time ta" based on the data held in the parking lot DB 42. Based on the "confirmation not required" of the confirmation information notification received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that confirmation is unnecessary and omits the in-vehicle confirmation.

Next, the warehousing sensor 6 detects the warehousing and notifies the management server 4 of the warehousing (procedure S105). Based on the receipt of the warehousing notification, the management server 4 changes the "vacant" and "confirmation not required" held in the parking lot DB to "warehousing" and "confirmation required", respectively (procedure S106). The "next inquiry time" has been updated to "time tb" after the procedure S104 is performed.

When the mobile terminal 5 reaches the time ta, that is, the inquiry time notified in the procedure S104, the mobile terminal 5 inquires of the management server 4 about the parking lot confirmation status (procedure S107). The management server 4 notifies the confirmation information in response to this inquiry (procedure S108). At this time, the management server 4 notifies "confirmation required" and "time tb" based on the data held in the parking lot DB.

Based on the "confirmation required" of the confirmation information notification received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that confirmation is necessary and carries out in-vehicle confirmation. At this time, the employee checks the inside of all the vehicles existing in the parking lot that have not been confirmed. Therefore, at the first confirmation that all vehicles existing in the parking lot are unconfirmed, the inside of all vehicles is confirmed. At this time, the image of the parking lot displayed on the mobile terminal 5 is the same as the image shown in FIG. 8B. Further, the image of the parking lot displayed based on the input of the confirmation result of the employee is an image similar to the image shown in FIG. 8C.

The mobile terminal 5 notifies the management server 4 of the confirmation result (procedure S109). The management server 4 changes "confirmation required" held in the parking lot DB to "confirmed" based on the confirmation result notification (procedure S110). The "next inquiry time" has been updated to "time tc" after the procedure S108 is performed.

When the mobile terminal 5 reaches the time tb, that is, the inquiry time notified in the procedure S108, the mobile terminal 5 inquires the management server 4 about the parking lot confirmation status (procedure S111). The management server 4 notifies the confirmation information in response to this inquiry (procedure S112). At this time, the management server 4 transmits "confirmed" and "time tc" based on the data held in the parking lot DB. Based on the "confirmed" of the confirmation information received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that confirmation is unnecessary and omits the in-vehicle confirmation.

After that, the delivery sensor 7 detects the delivery and notifies the management server 4 of the delivery (procedure S113). The management server 4 changes "confirmed" stored in the parking lot DB to "confirmation unnecessary" (procedure S114). The "next inquiry time" has been updated to "time td" after the procedure S112 is performed.

When the mobile terminal 5 reaches the time tc, that is, the inquiry time notified in the procedure S112, the mobile terminal 5 inquires the management server 4 about the parking lot confirmation status (procedure S115). The management server 4 notifies the confirmation information in response to this inquiry (procedure S116). At this time, the management server 4 notifies "confirmation not required" and "time td" based on the data held in the parking lot DB. Based on the "confirmation not required" of the confirmation information received and displayed by the mobile terminal 5, the employee determines that confirmation is unnecessary and omits the in-vehicle confirmation.

The operation sequence from the warehousing to the warehousing of one vehicle has been described above. The operation sequence until the warehousing and delivery of a plurality of vehicles, for example, the operation sequence when there is a warehousing between the procedure S106 and the time ta in FIG. 10, and the warehousing between the procedure S106 and the time ta in FIG. Yes, and then, the operation sequence when a part or all of the plurality of vehicles is released before the time ta is reached is clear from the description of the similar operation sequence according to the second embodiment.
