1 is a view showing a schematic configuration of a parking management system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the parking management system according to the present invention is constructed by combining a parking management device 100 with a camera 200, a geomagnetic sensor 300, and a parking display device 400 installed in a parking lot.

Here, the camera 200 includes a first camera 210 for photographing a vehicle number of a vehicle parked in a parking space and a second camera 220 for photographing a background screen of a parking lot. In this case, the first and second cameras 210 and 220 may be configured as, for example, a dome camera capable of 360 ° rotation. In addition, the first and second cameras 200: 210 and 220 are positioned to photograph the parking space S formed on the side opposite to the installation position as shown in FIG. 3A. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, the camera 200, more specifically, the second camera 220 photographs a background image of a predetermined parking area A including a plurality of parking spaces S. 1 The camera 210 photographs the vehicle number area B for a specific parking space in which the vehicle C is parked.

In addition, the geomagnetic sensor 300 is installed in each parking space to provide a detection signal corresponding to whether the vehicle is parked or not based on the change in the magnetic field of the earth. At this time, the geomagnetic sensor 300 is configured to perform wireless communication incorporating the ZIGBEE standard with the parking management apparatus 100, for example, to transmit and receive information at a rate of 250kbps within 50m. That is, the geomagnetic sensor 300 converts the geomagnetic sensing level into a radio signal with its identification code and transmits the radio signal. In this case, the geomagnetic sensor 300 is generally configured to operate for about two years using an internal battery. Therefore, the manager can simply manage the geomagnetic sensor by replacing the geomagnetic sensor 300 installed in each parking space every two years.

In addition, the parking display device 400 is disposed on the driveway of the parking lot and the passage of the parking lot as shown in FIG. It may be configured as a mangongcha indicator light 420 to display the presence or absence of parking available parking space. At this time, the parking guide plate 410 is the parking state information 411, including the "congestion / free space" and "the number of empty parking spaces" for the corresponding parking area and "A1 ~ A3" and "→" The parking position information 412 including the parking area and the direction is displayed and outputted. In addition, the empty light indicator 420 is composed of, for example, "green" and "red" is displayed when "red" when there is no parking space, "green" is displayed and output when there is a parking space.

In addition, the parking management apparatus 100 photographs a background of a parking area of a predetermined size consisting of a plurality of parking spaces through the second camera 220 in real time, and detects a signal from the geomagnetic sensor 300. When is applied to the vehicle number area of the vehicle parked in the parking space is photographed through the first camera 210, and the vehicle number is read based on the vehicle number image photographed through the first camera 210 and In addition, based on this, the updated parking state information is controlled to be displayed and output through the parking display device 400.

In addition, the parking management apparatus 100 stores the earth magnetic field level of the geomagnetic sensor 300 for each parking space, and the earth magnetic field value input thereafter is determined to be different from the pre-stored earth magnetic field value by a predetermined level or more. In this case, it is determined that the vehicle is in a state of entering or leaving. That is, by comparing the earth magnetic field level in a toggle method, it is determined that the parking state is changed according to the entering or leaving of the vehicle.

In addition, the parking management device 100 stores the parking state information of the vehicle for each parking space, and when the state change information is applied through the geomagnetic sensor 300, the previously stored parking state information for the corresponding parking space Is configured to determine whether the vehicle is in or out of the vehicle.

In this case, since the geomagnetic sensor 300 performs ZigBee communication capable of wireless communication in an area within 50m to operate at low power, the gateway 120 and the geomagnetic sensor 300 are shown in FIG. It may be desirable to further include a wireless repeater 121 in between. Here, the geomagnetic sensor 300 provides the gateway 120 with state change information including a sensor identification code and a geomagnetic detection level.

The image processing server 130 reads the vehicle number from the photographed image applied from the first camera 210 and stores the background image applied from the second camera 220 in a predetermined cycle unit. Here, the image processing server 130 recognizes the vehicle number by extracting the characters of the entire license plate from the vehicle number image photographed based on the optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which is an image recognition and image reading technology. In addition, the image processing server 130 checks whether or not there is a change in the photographing area applied from the first camera 210 and stores only the background image in which the change occurs in the database 170.

When the state change information is applied from the geomagnetic sensor 300 through the gateway 120, the control server 140 checks the parking space position based on the sensor identification code included in the state change information. After setting the photographing position of the camera 210 to the corresponding parking space (“B” area of FIG. 3B), the vehicle number photographing image for the corresponding parking space is collected through the video server 110. In addition, the control server 140 provides a captured image received from the first camera 210 to the image processing server 130 to perform a vehicle number recognition request. In this case, the control server 140 determines that the vehicle has been left when the vehicle number is not recognized in the image photographed by the first camera 210, and determines that the vehicle has been entered when the vehicle number is recognized. It may be configured to change the parking state information. In addition, when the state change information is applied from the geomagnetic sensor 300, the control server 140 determines whether the vehicle is in or out of the vehicle based on previously stored parking state information of the corresponding parking space. The vehicle number image may be photographed through the first camera 210.

In addition, the control server 140 registers and stores the changed parking status information in the database 170, generates parking indication information based on the currently updated parking status information, and provides it to the parking display device 400. It will display output. Here, the parking display information may be parking state information for a parking space corresponding to a location where the corresponding parking display apparatus 400 is installed, for example, a text or an image of a display form as shown in FIG. 4.

In addition, the control server 140 stores the entry and exit times of the corresponding parking spaces applied through the first camera 210 in the database 170, and the parking time based on the arrival time and departure time information at the time of departure. And generating the parking cost information corresponding thereto and providing it to the settlement terminal 500 for calculating the parking fee.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 2, the monitoring means 150 monitors the photographed image applied from the video server 110. In this case, the monitoring means 150 basically outputs the background screen information applied from the second camera 220. In addition, the monitoring means 150 may enlarge and output only the background screen information for a specific parking area in response to a request from the manager terminal 160.

The manager terminal 160 is a communication terminal including a key input means for inputting a command of the manager and a display output means for displaying and outputting parking related information. The manager searches / checks various parking related information stored in the database 170 through the manager terminal 160, and initializes various control commands for the parking management, for example, the first or second cameras 210 and 220. Execute command such as drive setting and check the result.

The database 170 stores various parking related information processed by the parking management apparatus 100. For example, the database 170 may include a sensor information storage unit for storing parking space location information for each sensor code of the geomagnetic sensor 300 and information such as a current geomagnetic detection level, and code for each of the first and second cameras 210 and 220.
