According to one embodiment, the communication unit includes a first user terminal 210 held by a user (e.g., a driver) of the vehicle 310, a second user terminal 220 held by a user of a commercial building 320 where a parking lot is installed, and may be configured to communicate with an administrator terminal 230 for controlling the parking management system 100. For example, the first user terminal 210 may be a mobile device (eg, a smartphone) owned by the user. For example, a user of the commercial building 320 may mean an occupant who occupies the commercial building 320 by owning or renting at least part of the commercial building 320 . For example, a user of the commercial building 320 may be a merchant of the commercial building 320, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the first user terminal 210 transmits a communication signal requesting establishment of a communication channel (CH) to the parking management system 100, the communication unit receives the communication signal and sends the first user terminal ( 210) and may be configured to establish a communication channel (CH). For example, the communication channel (CH) is a wireless telephone communication channel (CH) established through a wireless telephone (e.g., Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) )), but is not limited thereto. For another example, the communication channel (CH) may include a communication channel (CH) that can be connected through a QR code, and a communication channel (CH) that can be connected through transmission and reception of RF signals. As a non-limiting example, an example of a communication channel (CH) established via a landline telephone is described below with reference to FIG. 4.

According to one embodiment, the link provider 130 may be configured to transmit a remote control link that provides an application that can control the operation of the circuit breaker 110 to the first user terminal 210. The remote control link may be transmitted to the first user terminal 210 through text or another application message. For example, the user of the vehicle 310 can use the application through the remote control link received by the first user terminal 210. An example of the application will be described later with reference to FIG. 5 .

According to one embodiment, the circuit breaker control unit 140 may be configured to receive a command signal for opening the circuit breaker 110 through an application. The breaker control unit 140 may be configured to control the breaker 110 based on a command signal.

According to one embodiment, the parking fee calculation unit 150 may be configured to calculate the parking fee based on the time the vehicle 310 uses the parking lot.

According to one embodiment, the camera 180 may be configured to photograph the parking lot entrance 330. For example, the camera 180 may include a closed-circuit television (CCTV) that shows an image of the parking lot entrance 330 to an unspecified number of people (eg, a manager). The image of the parking lot entrance 330 captured through the camera 180 may be partially extracted and transmitted to the manager terminal 230. The manager can check the captured video of the parking lot entrance 330 in real time through the manager terminal.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the operation of the parking management system 100 according to one embodiment will be described.

Figure 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the parking management system 100 according to one embodiment. Figure 3 shows a state in which the vehicle 310 has entered the parking lot entrance 330. Figure 4 shows the establishment state of a communication channel (CH) between the first user terminal 210 and the communication unit. FIG. 5 shows an application displayed on the first user terminal 210. Figure 6 shows a payment link received by the first user terminal 210.

Referring to FIG. 2 , in operation 201, the parking management system 100 may receive a communication signal from the first user terminal 210 to request establishment of a communication channel (CH) to the communication unit.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the vehicle 310 may enter the parking lot through the parking lot entrance 330 . For example, a user of vehicle 310 may need to use parking space 340 in order to use commercial building 320 . In order for the vehicle 310 to use the parking space 340, it may need to pass through the parking lot entrance 330. The parking lot entrance 330 can be kept closed by the circuit breaker 110. The user of the vehicle 310 may check the unique identifier (eg, unique number 111) of the breaker 110 attached to the breaker 110 in order to enter the parking lot. For example, the unique number 111 may be a phone number. Referring to FIG. 4, the user can make a call to the phone number using the first user terminal 210. The operation of a user calling the phone number of the unique number 111 using the first user terminal 210 may be an operation of requesting the communication unit to establish a communication channel (CH).

According to one embodiment, the parking management system 100 may be configured to establish a communication channel (CH) for communication with the first user terminal 210 in response to receiving the communication signal. For example, the communication unit may identify the first user terminal 210 by receiving a call transmitted from the first user terminal 210 . For example, the communication unit may identify the first user terminal 210 through a unique number (eg, phone number) assigned to the first user terminal 210. The communication unit may establish a communication channel (CH) with the first user terminal 210 in response to receiving a communication signal requesting establishment of the communication channel (CH).

At operation 202, the parking management system 100 may open the parking lot entrance 330 by opening the breaker 110 in response to establishment of a communication channel (CH). For example, the communication unit may be configured to provide a temporary opening signal to the circuit breaker 110 to temporarily open the circuit breaker 110 in response to establishment of a communication channel (CH). The circuit breaker 110 may be opened by moving the blocking rod 112 in response to receiving the temporary opening signal from the communication unit. When the circuit breaker 110 is opened, the blocking rod 112 blocking the parking lot entrance 330 moves, so that the parking lot entrance 330 may be temporarily opened. The vehicle 310 may pass through the open parking lot entrance 330 and enter the parking lot. Since the circuit breaker 110 is opened when the user makes a call, entering the parking lot can be convenient and simple.

According to one embodiment, “temporarily opening the circuit breaker 110” may mean that the circuit breaker 110 is opened for a certain period of time. For example, when the circuit breaker 110 receives a temporary opening signal from the communication unit, the circuit breaker 110 may control the blocking rod 112 so that the blocking rod 112 moves up for a certain period of time. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the circuit breaker 110 can be closed by controlling the blocking rod 112 to move back to its original position. However, it is not limited to this. For another example, when the vehicle 310 passes through the parking lot entrance 330 and enters the parking lot, the circuit breaker 110 uses a sensor to identify that the vehicle 310 passes through the parking lot entrance 330. It may be closed before a certain period of time has elapsed.

In operation 203, the parking management system 100 may transmit a remote control link providing an application to the first user terminal 210. For example, the link provider 130 provides a remote control link that provides an application that can control the operation of the circuit breaker 110 to the first user terminal 210 through the communication unit. It may be configured to transmit. In the present disclosure, “link” may mean a connection means that can access the application. For example, the user of the first user terminal 210 can access the application through the link. The application may be accessible only through the link.

Referring to FIG. 5, it shows a state in which the first user terminal 210 is connected to the application. For example, the application includes a first visual object 211 (e.g., User Interface (UI)) configured to receive a user input capable of controlling the circuit breaker 110 and a second visual object containing a parking lot usage guide ( 212) may be included. When accessing the application through the first user terminal 210, the first visual object 211 and the second visual object 212 may be displayed. For example, the second visual object 212 may include information about parking lot use. For example, the second visual object 212 may include a calculation standard for parking lot usage time, a method for exiting the parking lot, free parking time, etc.

Within operation 204, the application may transition from an active state to a deactivated state in response to the passage of a specified time period. According to one embodiment, the application may be configured to remain active for a specified time and to transition from the activated state to the deactivated state in response to the passage of the specified time. For example, the activation state of the application may mean that the circuit breaker 110 can be controlled through the first visual object 211. For example, the deactivated state of the application may mean that control of the circuit breaker 110 through the first visual object is impossible.

For example, state 500a of FIG. 5 shows a state in which the first user terminal 210 is connected to the application before the specified time has elapsed through a link received from the communication unit. Referring to state 500a, when the first user terminal 210 accesses the application through a link, the first visual object 211 may receive a user input that can control the circuit breaker 110. For example, the user may click the first visual object 211 or provide a touch input to the first visual object 211 . When a user input for the first visual object 211 is received, the application may transmit a command to open the breaker 110 to the breaker control unit 140. The circuit breaker control unit 140 may control the circuit breaker 110 to be opened in response to receiving the command from the application. This state may be referred to as the activation state of the application.

For example, state 500b of FIG. 5 shows a state in which a specified time has elapsed after the first user terminal 210 accesses the application through a link received from the communication unit. Referring to state 500b, when a specified time elapses after the first user terminal 210 accesses the application through a link, the application may be switched from the activated state to the deactivated state. Within the deactivation state, the application may be configured not to receive user input by deactivating the first visual object 211 . Since the circuit breaker 110 is not opened through the application in an inactive state, a parking fee may need to be calculated in order for the vehicle 310 to exit after a designated time has elapsed.

In operation 205, the parking management system 100 may calculate a parking fee based on the time the vehicle 310 used the parking lot when the vehicle 310 leaves the parking lot.

For example, when the user establishes a communication channel (CH) with the communication unit through the first user terminal 210, the entry time may be recorded in the server. The usage time of the vehicle 310 using the parking lot may be the time elapsed from the time of entering the vehicle to the time of exiting the vehicle. The exit time may be determined as when the user performs an operation to open the circuit breaker or perform a payment operation to exit the vehicle. The parking fee calculation unit 150 may calculate the parking fee based on the usage time. For example, the parking fee calculator 150 may calculate the parking fee by multiplying the hourly parking fee by the parking time.

In operation 206, the parking management system 100 may transmit a payment link providing payment information to the first user terminal 210. For example, the payment management unit 160 may transmit a payment link for calculating the parking fee to the first user terminal 210 based on information about the parking fee calculated from the parking fee calculation unit 150. there is

Referring to FIG. 6, a third visual object 213 representing parking-related information and a fourth visual object 214 including a payment function may be displayed on the first user terminal 210 that has received the payment link. . For example, the third visual object 213 may display the date, time, entry time of the vehicle 310, use time of the parking lot, information about the parking fee, and settlement completion time. The settlement completion time may be updated to the time when the payment is completed after the payment is made. For example, the fourth visual object 214 may provide a payment function. When the user clicks on the fourth visual object 214 or provides a touch input, the parking fee may be connected to another application (e.g., an application provided by a credit card company or bank) that can pay the calculated parking fee. there is. Additionally, the fourth visual object 214 may include a guidance message indicating that if a parking fee is incurred after a designated time has elapsed after the parking entry time, the vehicle can be exited only after payment is completed.

In operation 207, the parking management system 100 may reactivate the application or retransmit the remote control link in response to obtaining payment completion information.

For example, in operation 206, when the user pays the parking fee through the payment link transmitted to the first user terminal 210, the payment management unit 160 provides payment completion information in response to the parking fee being paid. It can be configured to obtain. Based on the payment completion information being obtained from the payment management unit 160, the application may be activated again, or the link provider 130 may be configured to retransmit the remote control link to the first user terminal 210.

For example, when a user pays a parking fee through a payment link, the payment management unit 160 may obtain payment completion information. In response to the payment management unit 160 obtaining payment completion information, the parking management system 100 reactivates the application or the link provider 130 retransmits the remote control link to the first user terminal 210. can do. Referring again to FIG. 5, state 500c of FIG. 5 shows a state in which an application has been converted from a deactivated state to an activated state. As the application switches to the activated state, the user may provide user input to the first visual object 211. In response to receiving a user input for the first visual object 211, the application transmits a command to open the breaker 110 to the breaker control unit 140, and the breaker control unit 140 opens the breaker 110. can be controlled to open. When the circuit breaker 110 is opened, the vehicle 310 can leave the parking lot.

For another example, when a user pays a parking fee through a payment link, the payment management unit 160 may obtain payment completion information. The payment management unit 160 may provide payment completion information to the provider in response to obtaining payment completion information. The link provider 130 may be configured to retransmit the remote control link to the first user terminal 210 in response to obtaining payment completion information from the payment management unit 160. When the remote control link is retransmitted to the first user terminal 210, the user can use the application in an activated state again through the retransmitted remote control link. The user may provide user input to the first visual object 211 of the application in an activated state. In response to receiving a user input for the first visual object 211, the application transmits a command to open the breaker 110 to the breaker control unit 140, and the breaker control unit 140 opens the breaker 110. can be controlled to open. When the circuit breaker 110 is opened, the vehicle 310 can leave the parking lot.

As described above, the parking management system 100 can provide a system 100 that allows users to easily use the parking lot through one breaker 110. The parking management system 100 can manage a parking lot through a simple and efficient process.

Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the parking management system 100 according to one embodiment.

The designated times described above may be referred to as free parking times. For example, users of the commercial building 320 may provide free parking services to customers who visit the commercial building.

Referring to FIG. 7, in operation 701, the parking management system 100 receives, from the second user terminal 220, information about free parking time for the vehicle 310 parked in the parking lot after passing through the parking lot entrance 330. Information can be obtained. For example, the payment management unit 160 may obtain information about the free parking time for the vehicle 310 from the second user terminal 220. For example, a user of a commercial building 320 who conducts business in a part of the commercial building 320 may input information about the vehicle 310 of a customer who visited his or her commercial building into the second user terminal 220. You can. The second user terminal 220 may be a terminal device linked to the parking management system 100. The user of the commercial building 320 may input information about the customer's vehicle 310 (eg, vehicle 310 number) into the second user terminal 220. Information about free parking time may include information about the customer's vehicle 310 input into the second user terminal 220. When the user of the commercial building 320 inputs information about the customer's vehicle 310 into the second user terminal 220, a designated free parking time may be allocated to the vehicle 310. For example, the free parking time may be set to 30 minutes, but is not limited thereto.

In operation 702, parking management system 100 may compare usage time and free parking time. For example, the payment management unit 160 may compare the usage time and free parking time when calculating the parking fee. For example, the payment management unit 160 operates from the time when the communication channel (CH) between the first user terminal 210 and the communication unit is established to the time when the vehicle 310 is adjacent to the circuit breaker 110 for exit. Using the time required, the usage time can be calculated. The payment management unit 160 may compare the usage time and free parking time.

In operation 703, the parking management system 100 may provide payment completion information to the payment management unit 160 in response to identifying that the usage time is less than or equal to the free parking time. For example, in response to identifying the usage time within the free parking time, the payment management unit 160 may process the payment as completed without a payment process and provide payment completion information.

According to one embodiment, the application provided through the link provider 130 may be in an activated state for a free parking period (eg, 30 minutes) from the moment the first user terminal 210 is connected. After the vehicle 310 passes the barrier 110 and is parked in the parking lot, when the vehicle 310 approaches the barrier 110 to take out, the parking fee calculation unit 150 may calculate the parking fee. At this time, if the user used the parking lot for less than 30 minutes, the user may input a user input to open the circuit breaker 110 through the first visual object 211 of the application. The application in the activated state may transmit a command to open the circuit breaker 110 to the circuit breaker control unit 140, and the circuit breaker control unit 140 may control the circuit breaker 110 to be opened. Users can use the parking lot without parking fees. The payment management unit 160 may process payment as completed even if payment has not been made for the vehicle 310 parked within the free parking time.

At operation 704, parking management system 100, in response to identifying that the usage time exceeds the free parking time, may calculate a parking fee based on the usage time minus the free parking time. For example, the payment management unit 160 may calculate the parking fee by multiplying the hourly parking fee by the time excluding the free parking time from the usage time.

In operation 705, the parking management system 100 may transmit a payment link providing payment information for the parking fee calculated in operation 704 to the first user terminal 210. For example, the payment management unit 160 may transmit a payment link for calculating the parking fee to the first user terminal 210 based on information about the parking fee calculated from the parking fee calculation unit 150. there is. Operation 705 may be referred to as operation 206 of FIG. 2 .

In operation 707, the parking management system 100 may provide payment completion information to the payment management unit 160 in response to the parking fee being paid. For example, the payment management unit 160 may reactivate the application or retransmit the remote control link in response to obtaining payment completion information. Operation 707 may be referred to as operation 207 of FIG. 2 . The user can open the circuit breaker 110 and exit the vehicle through a reactivated application, or open the circuit breaker 110 and exit the vehicle through a new application through a remote control link provided to the first user terminal 210. .

The parking management system 100 according to one embodiment can calculate the user's parking fee by calculating the free parking time and manage the user's parking, even if only one breaker 110 is installed. In particular, by switching the activation/deactivation status of the application, it is possible to automatically exit within the free parking time even without separate management procedures, and by managing parking to exit through payment when the free parking time is exceeded, separate parking is required. Maintenance may not be required. The conventional parking management system 100 controls the breaker 110 through the management server when exiting the parking lot within the free parking time, so time is spent in front of the breaker 110 when exiting the parking lot, or the free parking time is not allowed due to a server error. There may be malfunctions that result in additional payment charges. However, the parking management system 100 according to one embodiment allows the user to directly control the circuit breaker 110 within the free parking time through an application, so unnecessary malfunctions can be prevented.

FIG. 8A is a flowchart showing a blacklist 171 management operation of the parking management system 100 according to an embodiment. Figure 8b shows the manager terminal 230.

For example, there may be users who use the parking lot illegally by leaving the parking lot in an illegal manner without paying the parking fee. If illegal users repeatedly use the parking lot, there may be a case where parking is not possible for users who actually need parking due to insufficient space in the parking lot. The parking management system 100 according to one embodiment manages a blacklist 171 for management of fraudulent users through the DB management unit 170, blocks unauthorized users from entering the parking lot from the beginning, or blocks unauthorized users from entering the parking lot. can be configured to automatically report.

According to one embodiment, the DB management unit 170 may store various information about the vehicle 310 using the parking lot. For example, information about the vehicle 310 (e.g., vehicle type, vehicle 310 number, etc.), information about parking (e.g., parking use date, parking use time, etc.), and the first user terminal 210. Information (eg, phone number of the first user terminal 210) can be stored. For example, when a communication channel (CH) is established between the first user terminal 210 and the communication unit, the DB management unit 170 may store information about the first user terminal 210. For example, the payment management unit 160 provides information about parking, including the parking use time, date, and payment information of the vehicle 310, to the DB management unit 170, and the DB management unit 170 can store this. there is.

Referring to FIG. 8A , in operation 801, the parking management system 100 may update the blacklist 171 in response to identifying that information about parking is in an abnormal state. For example, the DB management unit 170 may determine an abnormal state from information about parking received from the payment management unit 160. For example, the DB management unit 170 may determine that if there is no payment information even though the usage time between the entry time and the exit time exceeds the free parking time, the use of free parking is repeated within a short interval (e.g., 1 hour). In the case where there is no entry record and only an exit record, and a case where there is an entry record but no exit record, etc., it can be determined as an abnormal state. If the DB management unit 170 determines that it is in an abnormal state, the blacklist 171 may be updated with information about the vehicle 310, information about parking, and information about the first user terminal 210. .

In operation 802, the parking management system 100 may transmit updated information to the manager terminal 230. For example, when new information is updated in the blacklist 171 through the communication unit, the DB management unit 170 provides information about the newly updated vehicle 310, information about parking, and the first user terminal ( It may be configured to transmit information about 210) to the manager terminal 230. For example, the update contents of the blacklist 171 may be provided as a notification to the administrator terminal 230.

Referring to FIG. 8B, a notification notifying the update of the blacklist 171 may be provided to the administrator terminal 230. The notification may include a link providing an image extracted from the camera 180 while notifying that the blacklist 171 is updated. The administrator can check the extracted video through the link provided on the administrator terminal 230. For example, the video may include images of entering and/or exiting the vehicle 310 during the time of use by an unauthorized user. The length of the extracted image may be determined in advance. For example, the DB management unit 170 may extract images for a predetermined time (eg, 30 seconds) from images taken of an illegally used vehicle 310 and provide the images to the manager terminal 230. The administrator can check the extracted video by clicking or touching the link above. The manager can identify the usage behavior of unauthorized users and identify problems in parking lot management. For example, if a part of the circuit breaker 110 is damaged or there is a space where the vehicle 310 can illegally pass through the circuit breaker 110, the manager can easily determine the cause of the illegal use from the extracted video. You can. Administrators can easily prepare measures to resolve the above causes, so future fraudulent use of the same method can be prevented.

In operation 803, parking management system 100 may transmit the updated information to the designated agency server. A designated agency server is an agency that regulates illegal activities, and may be, for example, a police station or government office, but is not limited thereto. For example, the DB management unit 170 may provide updated blacklist 171 information to a police station, thereby automatically reporting misconduct. Even if the manager does not directly report the illegal parking behavior of the illegal user, the report may be automatically made by the parking management system 100.

Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the parking management system 100 when an unauthorized user attempts to re-enter the parking lot.

Due to illegal parking behavior, the vehicle 310 that has been updated in the blacklist 171 may attempt to enter the parking lot to use the parking lot again. For example, using the parking lot for a time exceeding the free parking time, leaving the vehicle without payment (310), having no entry record but only leaving record (310), using the free parking time (e.g. 30 minutes) There may be a vehicle 310 that leaves the parking lot and then attempts to re-enter the parking lot within a short interval (e.g., 1 hour). Since the conventional parking management system 100 does not manage such illegal parking, there is a problem in that illegal users repeatedly use the parking lot. The parking management system 100 according to one embodiment may prohibit the use of the parking lot by preventing re-entry of users who park illegally.

Referring to FIG. 9 , in operation 901, the parking management system 100 may identify the first user terminal 210 through the communication unit. For example, the DB management unit 170 obtains the phone number of the first user terminal 210 that called the unique number 111 of the circuit breaker 110 from the communication unit, and transfers the obtained phone number to the DB management unit 170. ), the first user terminal 210 can be identified by comparing with the information about the first user terminal 210 stored in .

In operation 902, the parking management system 100, in response to the information about the identified first user terminal 210 corresponding to the information about the first user terminal 210 updated in the blacklist 171, You may request that the Department of Communications stop providing temporary open signals. For example, if the phone number of the first user terminal 210 that requested establishment of a communication channel (CH) matches the phone number of the first user terminal 210 stored in the blacklist 171, the DB management unit ( 170) may request the communication unit to stop providing a temporary open signal. In response to receiving the request, the communication unit may not provide a temporary opening signal for temporarily opening the circuit breaker 110 to the circuit breaker 110 . Since the circuit breaker 110 is not opened, the illegal user's vehicle 310 cannot pass through the parking lot entrance 330, and use of the parking lot may be blocked in advance, thereby preventing illegal use.
