Alternatively, when the first encryption information is stored in match with the identification information of the vehicle, the parking area management apparatus 20 extracts the first encryption information stored in correspondence with the identification information of the vehicle from the memory, and extracts the first encryption information from the extracted first encryption information. It may be determined whether the second encryption information matches.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the parking area management apparatus 20 may request verification of the second encrypted information while transmitting the second encrypted information to the server device 30. In this case, the server device 30 checks whether there is encryption information (that is, the first encryption information) that matches the second encryption information in the encryption information list stored in the database, and sends the result to the parking area management device 20. Can transmit Alternatively, the server device 30 may receive identification information of the vehicle together with the verification request for the second encryption information, and extract first encryption information corresponding to the identification information of the vehicle from the encryption information list. The server device 30 may determine whether the extracted first encryption information and the second encryption information match, and transmit the determination result to the parking area management device 20.

In operation S450, when the similarity between the second encryption information and the previously stored first encryption information is less than the threshold value, the parking area management device 20 may block the traffic of the vehicle.

For example, when the in-vehicle mobile terminal is changed from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal, the first wireless identification information received from the first mobile terminal and the second wireless identification information received from the second mobile terminal may be different. Can be. In addition, the first encryption information generated using the first radio identification information and the second encryption information generated using the second radio identification information may be different. Accordingly, the parking area management apparatus 20 may prevent the vehicle from leaving the parking area by controlling the position of the blocking unit because the first encrypted information and the second encrypted information previously stored do not match.

In operation S460, when the similarity between the second encryption information and the previously stored first encryption information is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the parking area management apparatus 20 may allow the vehicle to pass. For example, the parking area management apparatus 20 may adjust the position of the blocking unit from the first position to the second position so that the vehicle leaves the parking area. Meanwhile, according to an exemplary embodiment, the parking area management apparatus 20 may determine the parking fee for the vehicle based on the interval between the time when the first encryption information is generated and the time when the second encryption information is generated. .

On the other hand, when the mobile terminal 11 does not exist in the vehicle, the parking area management apparatus 20 may not transmit the information about the assigned parking area to the mobile terminal 11. In this case, the parking area management device 20 may issue a paper parking ticket. For example, when the mobile terminal 11 capable of transmitting radio identification information is not located in the first vehicle, the parking area management device 20 may provide information about the parking area assigned to the first vehicle and two-dimensional. You can issue a paper parking ticket with a barcode (QR code). In this case, the 2D barcode may include information (first encryption information) in which all or part of the information about the first vehicle is encrypted. For example, the parking area management apparatus 20 may encrypt the information about the number of the first vehicle and the location information of the first vehicle by using the information about the assigned parking area as an encryption key. The parking area management apparatus 20 may generate a two-dimensional barcode by using the encrypted information (first encryption information).

When the first vehicle wants to leave the parking area, the parking area management device 20 uses the information about the assigned parking area as an encryption key and uses the information about the number of the first vehicle and the location information of the first vehicle. By encrypting, the second encrypted information can be generated. The parking area management apparatus 20 may read the two-dimensional barcode included in the paper parking ticket to obtain first encrypted information.

When the first encrypted information obtained by reading the two-dimensional barcode included in the paper parking ticket and the second encrypted information coincide, the parking area management device 20 adjusts the position of the blocking part from the first position to the second position.
