Description

PARKING LOT USAGE FEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a parking lot fee payment system using an application, and more particularly, to a system for calculating a parking lot fee using an application among a parking lot user, a parking lot manager, and an affiliated store that registered a parking lot.

The parking system is used to efficiently manage the entry, parking and exit of the vehicle in the parking lot. The parking system is connected to various sensors and terminals by wire, and is composed of a local network in the parking booth.

When the network is configured with a wired network for connection with various sensors, terminals, and parking management systems, the wire laying cost is excessively incurred, and when the additional equipment is installed, the network is formed through the wire laying again. In order to solve the shortcomings and complexity of the parking system implementation using the wired network, the proposed technology is known as a parking system using a wireless network.

1 is a diagram illustrating a parking ticket process between a conventional general parking lot and an affiliated store. As illustrated in FIG. 1, when a customer uses a building parking lot, the vehicle is first parked in the parking lot, and the vehicle is parked and then visited a store (parking affiliated store) in the same building. When the customer uses the merchant, the merchant gives the parking discount ticket to the customer, and the customer keeps the parking ticket received and the customer presents the parking ticket when leaving the parking lot, and the parking manager discounts the amount corresponding to the parking ticket. The amount is settled.

However, paper parking vouchers are often lost or damaged by customers, and even though they use a merchant, they often do not receive a discount.

In addition, since the settlement processing method does not coincide with the number of customers who have been issued parking discount coupons using the corresponding merchants, the number of customers who have actually used the parking discount coupons is difficult. The settlement process is opaque, and there is a problem that disputes arise due to the parking lot fee.

An object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot fee payment system that can accurately settle the amount of money between a customer who is a parking lot user, a parking lot manager, and a parking lot affiliated store.

In order to achieve the above object, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a parking lot fee payment system using an application, the system comprising: a plurality of smart phone installable application; And an app server communicating with applications installed in the plurality of smart phones.

The application includes a driver application used on the driver side, an application for the parking lot used by the parking lot manager side, and an application for the affiliated store used in the affiliated store that has concluded a use contract with the parking lot.

When entering the parking lot of the driver's vehicle, the parking application transmits the driver's vehicle number or the driver's unique identification number provided to the driver's application to the app server along with the occupancy time,

The app server searches for a driver subscribed to a service based on the driver's unique identification number, and if a matching driver's unique identification number is found, issues an electronic parking ticket for the driver's ID.

The app server is configured to notify the driver application and the parking lot application that an electronic parking ticket for the corresponding driver has been issued.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, the app server searches for a driver subscribed to the service based on the driver's unique identification number, and if a matching driver's unique identification number is not found, the app server is based on the vehicle number. It is configured to issue an electronic parking ticket for the opened temporary ID.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, when the driver requests the electronic parking discount ticket from the affiliated store, the application for the affiliated store transmits the vehicle number entered by the driver or the unique number of the issued electronic parking ticket to the app server, and requests the issue of the parking discount ticket.

The app server is configured to issue an electronic parking discount ticket to a driver ID or a temporary ID opened by the vehicle number based on the unique number of the vehicle number or the electronic parking ticket transmitted from the merchant application when receiving the request for a parking discount ticket.

In addition, even if there is no temporary ID established as a unique number and driver ID or vehicle number of the electronic parking ticket, the merchant application can create a temporary ID, create a parking discount ticket, and then the parking lot managers who have partnered with the merchant during the departure process After confirming the existence of a discount ticket of the vehicle, it is possible to apply the discount ticket. However, if the parking lot and illegal parking is not affiliated with the affiliated store, the discount ticket is not used within the designated time, and thus it is lost and deleted.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, the issued electronic parking discount ticket is preferably deleted from the app server even if the designated parking lot is not used within a predetermined time.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, when the driver leaves the parking lot, the parking lot application transmits the driver's vehicle number or the driver's unique identification number provided to the driver application to the app server along with the current departure time.

The app server searches for a driver subscribed to the service based on the driver's unique identification number, and if a matching driver's unique identification number is found, whether the electronic parking discount ticket has been issued together with the electronic parking ticket issued to the driver's ID If the electronic parking discount voucher is issued, the parking fee is subtracted by the amount given to the electronic parking voucher and notified to the driver application and the parking application.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, the app server searches for a driver subscribed to the service based on the driver's unique identification number, and if a matching driver's unique identification number is not found, the app server is electronically provided with the electronic parking ticket issued to the vehicle number. Check whether the parking voucher has been issued, and if the electronic parking voucher is issued is configured to notify the parking lot application by subtracting the parking cost by the amount given to the electronic parking voucher.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, when notifying the app server that the parking fee payment is completed in the parking lot application, the app server issues a parking fee receipt to the driver application, and the issued parking fee receipt is dependent on the user ID of the app server. And stored.

According to the present invention described above, the driver can solve the problem that the parking fee is not discounted by losing the parking discount coupon issued by the merchant through a smart phone application, not paper.

In addition, according to the present invention described above, because the electronic parking voucher issued by the merchant is used only for the payment of the parking fee and is discarded after a certain time, it is possible to accurately settle the used parking voucher, so that parking is not used as in the prior art. Discount coupons can prevent merchants from losing money.

In addition, according to the present invention, used parking discount vouchers are stored belonging to the ID of the merchant, and accumulated by time (day, month, year) and confirmed in the merchant application, and also used parking discount coupons for each merchant in the parking lot application. As it is accumulated and provided, the operation can be performed by applying a transparent accounting system between the merchant owner and the parking lot manager.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the parking receipt is stored in the user account of the application and the app server after the driver performs the payment, the user may check the parking receipt regardless of time and place.

However, this is the application that is actually implemented for the purpose of helping the understanding of the present invention can be provided as a customer (for driver) application, the parking lot / merchant application, the parking lot manager and the merchant is provided in the parking / merchant application for The user mode may be used to utilize the necessary functions. In addition, the present invention App 1, App 2, App 3 can be implemented as a single application, the user selects the user mode (customer, parking lot, affiliated stores) that he wants to use in the application to use the functions of the required app Can be.

3 is a diagram illustrating main input information of an application installed in the smartphone 100. As shown in FIG. 3, a customer downloads and installs an application for a customer (or a driver), or installs an integrated type application, and then uses a user mode provided in a menu of the application for the customer (for an operator). Select to activate the function.

Through the application for the customer (for the driver), the user transmits information required for a service subscription such as a user's ID, real name, vehicle number, contact phone number, etc. to the app server 200, and the app server 200 corresponds to the corresponding user. Create an ID for and store the input information in the database (300). Since the driver may drive a plurality of vehicles, a plurality of vehicle numbers may be input. The server matches and manages the entered vehicle number and the user.

The parking lot manager downloads and installs the same application for the parking lot as the customer or installs an application in which the parking lot manager app and the merchant owner app are integrated, and then selects the user mode provided in the application menu for the parking lot to activate the function.

In addition, the parking lot manager transmits the information necessary for subscribing to the service, such as his or her ID, real name, the number of parking lots, parking address, parking lot information including the hourly parking cost to the app server 200, the app server 200 is It generates an ID for the corresponding parking lot manager and stores the input information in the database 300.

In this case, when the parking lot manager manages a plurality of parking lots, the parking lot manager inputs the parking lot information for each of the parking lots separately and transmits them to the server, thereby managing the plurality of parking lots operated by the user within one application.

On the other hand, when the parking lot manager inputs a plurality of parking lots through the application, the server assigns identification numbers for each parking lot and transmits them to the parking lot manager's application, and the parking lot manager can manage the respective parking lots.

On the other hand, merchants must be associated with the parking lot operated by the parking lot manager, for this purpose, the application used by the merchant can enter the ID of the parking lot manager or identification number of the corresponding parking lot. The ID of the parking lot manager or the identification number of the corresponding parking lot may be made using a QR code or the like. For example, the QR code for the parking lot corresponding to the application of the parking lot manager is given at the initial parking lot registration, and the affiliated store owner may register the corresponding parking lot by performing a QR code recognition function provided on the screen of the affiliated store application. In addition, on the contrary, for example, when the merchant registers the parking lot after joining the application, the merchant provides the parking lot manager with a QR code generated by the merchant's application, and the parking lot manager performs the merchant QR code recognition function to the corresponding parking lot. It may also be configured to register a merchant.

If the merchant owner uses only one parking lot of the corresponding building, the affiliated owner automatically searches for the parking lot registered in the server 200 using the use parking lot registration function provided by the application. When the parking lot is opened at the same address based on the entered merchant address, the server may provide a QR code to the corresponding parking lot manager to register as the affiliated parking lot. In addition, by providing a QR code to the parking lot managers nearby, multiple parking lots can be registered and used directly.

In this way, merchants can register one or more of the available parking lots, and if the cost of providing the parking lot is excessively high, the owner can register more parking lots nearby to prevent illegal parking by merchant users. It is possible to prevent the excessive cost of using the parking lot.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the functions of applications classified by users will be described in more detail. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the main functions of the driver application, the parking lot manager application, and the merchant application.

* Driver application

The driver application includes a user registration module, a parking ticket confirmation module, a parking ticket confirmation module, and a payment information confirmation module. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may further include other function modules for providing other services. .

The user registration module is a module for inputting information necessary to create an account as described above. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the case of the parking ticket checking module, when the user uses the parking lot, the parking lot manager requests the server to issue the parking ticket using the user's ID or the vehicle number, and the server issues the parking ticket having the unique number for the corresponding user ID or the vehicle number. Save it to the base. The driver can check the parking ticket issued to the server through the application of the parking ticket check module in real time in the application of the smartphone.

The parking discount confirmation module is a function module for checking the parking discount issued by the merchant application when the driver uses the merchant after parking. Specifically, if the driver presents the parking ticket in the application as described above to the merchant owner after using the merchant, the merchant asks the server to issue a parking discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket through the merchant application, and the server requests the parking ticket. Create a discount ticket and save it in the database. The driver can check the discount ticket information on the parking ticket issued to the server in real time from the application through the discount ticket confirmation module of the application.

In addition, the driver application according to the present invention includes a payment information confirmation module. In the case of the payment information confirmation module, the driver can check the parking cost calculated by the server in real time. For example, after a driver parks in a parking lot and a parking ticket or a parking ticket is issued as described above, when the user requests the server to confirm the payment fee through the payment information verification module, the server may request the At the same time, the fare is calculated based on the time-table and at the same time, if there is a discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket, the cost of the discount ticket is subtracted to inform the user of the current parking fee to be paid. Therefore, the driver can accurately check the current parking cost in real time using the application's payment information confirmation module.

* Parking application

Parking application is largely configured to include a parking registration module, parking module, payment request module, exit confirmation module, parking fee calculation module, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may further include other functional modules for providing other services. It may be.

First, the parking lot registration module is a module for inputting information necessary to create an account of the parking lot as described above. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The occupancy module is a module that functions to register a server as a vehicle that parks the vehicle in a corresponding parking lot when the driver enters the parking lot. In order to issue a parking ticket for the corresponding vehicle, the parking lot manager enters the number of the vehicle through the application and transmits it to the server, and the server issues the parking ticket for the corresponding vehicle.

If the corresponding vehicle is subscribed to the service, the server issues a parking ticket to the ID of the corresponding vehicle owner. If the corresponding vehicle is not subscribed to the service, the server assigns a temporary ID to the number of the vehicle and gives the temporary ID. You will be issued a parking ticket for. This will be described in more detail in the following description.

The parking fee calculation module performs a function of requesting a server to calculate a parking fee for a corresponding vehicle when a parked vehicle leaves the vehicle. The parking lot manager selects the corresponding vehicle when the vehicle leaves through the application, calculates the parking fee calculation in the app, and requests the discount ticket granted to the vehicle or the user's ID corresponding to the server, and the server requests the request. Accordingly, the discount coupon information for the corresponding vehicle is transmitted to the application of the parking lot manager. At this time, the server is further configured to simultaneously check the parking fee by transmitting the parking fee determined by the server to the application for the driver at the same time in addition to the parking application. Although the calculation of the parking fee in this embodiment has been described as being performed in the application of the parking lot manager, it is apparent that the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured to calculate the parking fee at the server and transmit it to the driver application.

The parking lot manager requests a payment to the corresponding driver based on the parking fee transmitted to the application, and when the driver completes the payment, the parking lot manager notifies the server through the application that the payment is completed. Subsequently, upon receiving the request for completing the payment, the server updates the database of the driver who performed the payment to terminate the process for the performed event and notifies the driver that the payment is completed.

The discharging module refers to a process of settlement and settlement of parking costs, and the application for the parking lot determines that a corresponding vehicle has been discharged when the settlement is completed. When the parking lot manager performs the payment completion notification to the server, the server sends a confirmation message to the parking lot manager application, for example, "XXXX vehicle payment and discharging is completed" to confirm that the discharging is completed. Therefore, the payment completion has the same meaning as the completion of the departure, and even though the payment has been completed and the completion of the departure, if the vehicle parked in the actual parking lot does not take out, a new parking lot entering process must be started.

The parking lot management module records and updates the entry and exit records by merchants, discount ticket records by merchants, parking fee records by merchants, and total parking fee records by time zone, daily and monthly statistics. Function. The parking lot manager can be provided with detailed information on the corresponding parking lot through the parking lot management module, and can be used to renew a parking lot use contract with an affiliated store based on such statistical data.

* Merchant Application

The merchant application is largely configured to include a merchant registration module, discount ticket request module, parking lot registration module, parking lot discount ticket issuance and inquiry module, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may further include other functional modules for providing other services. have.

First, the affiliated store registration module is a module for inputting information necessary to create an affiliated store account for using a parking lot as described above. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the case of the voucher request module, if the driver receives the parking ticket from the server after parking and presents the parking ticket to the affiliated store, the affiliated store may issue a parking ticket discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket through the voucher request module provided to the merchant application. Function to request The server generates a discount ticket for the parking ticket, stores the generated discount ticket in a database, and notifies the driver application and the merchant application that the discount ticket has been issued.

In the case of a parking discount ticket issuance inquiry module for each parking lot, the discount ticket issued by the corresponding affiliated store can be checked when the parking fee settlement inquiry is made. The discount voucher issued by the merchant owner is recorded by the parking lot and stored in the database, and the server can provide the voucher issuance record as statistical data by time zone, daily, monthly and yearly. Payment can be made, and further negotiations with the parking lot manager can be made on the basis of the parking lot contract later.

Figure 5 is a flow chart showing the overall operation flow between the driver application, parking lot application, merchant application and the app server in the parking lot fee calculation method using the application according to the present invention. In addition, in order to more clearly describe the present invention, it is assumed that the user, the parking lot manager, and the franchisee all subscribe to the service according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user first enters the parking lot in the step ①. In order to simplify the step of entering the parking lot, the vehicle may be provided with an identification code (for example, a QR code or a barcode) issued by the server and read by the parking application, and the identification code may be used to identify the user. Include.

In step ②, the parking lot manager enters the number of the vehicle through the application for the parking lot or reads the identification code attached to the vehicle with a camera or the like. In the parking module, the entrance module transmits the unique identification information of the driver to the server along with the entrance time and the unique identification number of the corresponding parking lot, and in step ⓐ, the app server transmits the unique identification number of the driver, the unique identification number of the parking lot, And issuing the parking ticket of the driver or the vehicle for the parking lot based on the arrival time and storing the parking ticket of the driver or the vehicle in a database, and transmitting the parking ticket to the application of the parking lot manager and the driver application that the parking ticket has been issued to the corresponding vehicle or driver as in step ③. Alternatively, the message may be transmitted through a push message.

In this case, the parking ticket issued to the driver is a one-time code having a unique identification number, and the one-time parking ticket may be provided to the driver's application in the form of a QR code or a barcode for ease of use.

After the parking ticket is issued, step ④ proceeds if the driver uses the franchise. The driver shows the parking ticket having the unique identification number issued from the server or the parking ticket in the form of a QR code or a barcode to the merchant and requests a discount. In step ⑤, the merchant enters the unique identification number assigned to the parking ticket through the screen interface provided by the application, enter the unique number of the vehicle, or shoot the presented QR code to issue a discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket App server Ask. This is performed by the discount voucher request module of the merchant application as described above.

When the server receives the request for issuing the discount ticket described above in step ⓑ, the server issues a discount ticket to the parking ticket belonging to the user ID and stores it in the database. Then, the discount ticket for the parking ticket corresponding to the driver application and the affiliated store application is stored as in step ⑥. Notify that it has been issued. The driver can also check this in real time through the discount voucher module of his application.

Subsequently, if the driver leaves in step ⑦, the driver requests the parking lot manager to leave. In step ⑧, the parking lot manager may enter the number of the vehicle through the screen provided by the parking lot application (car leaving module), or may scan the vehicle identification code attached to the vehicle. In addition, when the driver presents the parking ticket provided to his application to the parking manager, the parking manager sends the parking fee calculation request to the app server by scanning or photographing the QR code if the parking ticket's unique number or parking ticket is in the form of a QR code. It is done.

When the server receives the parking fee calculation request from the parking lot application in step ⓒ, the server checks whether there is a discount voucher issued for the corresponding driver ID or the vehicle number, and transmits the discount voucher to the parking lot application if there is an issued voucher. The cost calculated by the server is also sent to the driver application.

The driver then pays the parking fee delivered to the application to the parking lot manager, and the parking lot manager notifies the server that the payment for the corresponding parking ticket has been completed, as in step iv. In step ⓓ, the server updates the database with the corresponding parking ticket event-processed event and simultaneously transmits the parking fee to the driver application corresponding to the completion of the parking fee.

In addition to the payment completion notification, the server may generate a payment receipt and store it in the database and provide it to the corresponding driver. The payment receipt may be provided through an MMS message in the form of an image including a parking vehicle number, an address of a parking lot, parking time, total fee, discount ticket information, and actual billing fee, or may be provided as a push message. In addition, since the payment details are stored in the database of the server, the driver can check his / her payment details at any time by accessing the server. Further, although not shown in step ⓓ, the server may be configured to notify the affiliated store that issued the discount ticket linked to the corresponding parking ticket that the discount ticket has been used.

Meanwhile, after transmitting to the driver application that the parking fee is completed in step ⑫, the server checks whether the parking lot is completed by the application of the parking lot manager as in step ⑬. The parking lot manager checks whether the release is completed or not through the application and notifies the server.

6 is a flowchart showing the flow of entering and leaving the parking fee settlement method as described above. As shown in FIG. 6, the flow in the loading and unloading process is basically the same as that described with reference to FIG. 5.

However, as shown in step S120 with respect to the entrance, when the number of vehicles transmitted to the server through the parking lot application is a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S135, the parking ticket is issued and managed as the user ID, If the number of the vehicle transmitted to the server through the parking lot application is not a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S130, the server issues a temporary ID assigned to the vehicle number and a parking ticket is issued and managed.

In addition, with respect to the departure, the parking fee calculation request is transmitted to the server through the parking lot application as in step S230. If the number of the vehicle is a service subscription vehicle, a discount ticket issued from the user's ID as shown in step S240 is used. If the number of the vehicle is not a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S250, the server inquires the discount ticket from the temporary ID assigned to the vehicle number and performs the calculation.

Therefore, it is configured to grant and apply an electronic discount ticket even to a driver (unsubscribed driver) who does not have an application installed. However, in the case of non-subscribers can not continue to manage their own parking information because all information used is deleted when the payment is completed, parking receipts also if the driver requested a receipt from the parking manager, as in step S270 Parking Manager App Receipt can be delivered to the driver's phone number only when the driver's phone number is entered and the server requests a receipt.

7 is a diagram illustrating a subordinate tree of a parking ticket and a discount ticket according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the parking ticket is dependent on the driver's ID or vehicle number, and the issued parking ticket includes one-time unique identification number, driver information or vehicle information, and parking lot information. Therefore, the server can know the vehicle information such as the information of the parking lot, driver information or vehicle number from the issued parking ticket.

The discount ticket is also subject to the parking ticket issued. The parking ticket has a one-time identification number as described above, and when a discount ticket is issued, it is subject to the unique identification number of the parking ticket. The discount ticket includes the attached parking ticket information, issued merchant information and valid time information. The issued voucher or voucher must be used within a predetermined valid time (for example, 24 hours) and the voucher is deleted from the server after the predetermined time has elapsed.

It is very important for merchants to set a valid time for the voucher. In the case of an off-line parking voucher, which is actually paper, there is only one vehicle parked in the actual parking lot, but a passenger who rides in the car receives the discount voucher for some reason at the merchant. In this case, even though the parking voucher is not used, the merchant owner has to pay for the issued parking voucher, thus causing the merchant owner to lose the actual cost.

In the present invention, since the discount ticket is configured to be subordinate to the parking ticket, even if a passenger who rides in the vehicle receives the discount ticket at the affiliated store as in the previous offline, the discount ticket is used to calculate the parking ticket, so the discount ticket is not used to calculate the actual parking fee. Otherwise, it is not counted as a discount voucher used in the server, it is possible to prevent damages to merchants caused by the discount voucher not used as in the prior art.

8 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow between an application of a affiliate store and a server when the driver requests a discount ticket for the affiliate store.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the driver requests a discount voucher from the merchant, the franchise requests the server to issue the discount voucher in step S300. To request the issuance of a voucher, the merchant enters information about the parking ticket or the vehicle number or the driver's user ID through the screen provided to the application, or photographs a QR code provided by the driver's application to the server. You can request

In step S310, when the server receives a request for issuing a discount ticket from the merchant application, the server first inquires whether a parking discount ticket can be issued through the unique number of the merchant ID.

Subsequently, in step S320, the parking lot information subscribed to the discount voucher request affiliated store is checked, and if there is no parking lot to issue the discount voucher, the flow proceeds to step S325 to provide the merchant owner as an MMS or a push message to the merchant owner and ends the step.

On the other hand, if a discount ticket can be issued for the corresponding parking lot in step S320, the server proceeds to step S330 to determine whether the driver who requested the discount ticket is a user subscribed to the service.

If the driver who requested the discount voucher in step S330 is a user subscribed to the service of the present invention, the step proceeds to step S340 where the server issues a discount voucher for the corresponding parking ticket for the user ID and stores it in the database. On the other hand, if the driver who requested the discount ticket in step S330 is a user who is not subscribed to the service of the present invention, the process proceeds to step S345 where the server issues a discount ticket for the parking ticket corresponding to the temporarily set up car number ID instead of the user ID. Save it in the database and exit.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not for limiting the technical spirit of the present invention but for the description, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
