Background technique

In recent years, due to the cheapness, portability, energy saving, and environmental protection of shared vehicles (shared motorcycles, shared bicycles), people are more and more inclined to choose shared vehicles as their main means of transportation for short-distance travel within the same city. However, the standardized management of a large number of shared vehicles is a problem that cannot be ignored, and the parking problem of shared vehicles is particularly important. Since there is no clear parking regulation for shared cars, users often park at will after use (for example, the shared car is not placed in the specified parking spot or the shared car is dumped), which not only affects the overall parking aesthetics, but more importantly Occupies more space, resulting in a reduction in the number of shared cars that can be parked.

In order to solve the above problems, the existing parking management schemes for shared cars include: setting fixed parking spots in specific areas; staff regularly checking the parking situation of vehicles, etc. However, the existing management scheme cannot monitor in real time whether the user has parked the vehicle in the specified parking spot, nor can it monitor in real time whether the vehicle is dumped; at the same time, it is found that the vehicle is not parked in the specified parking spot or the vehicle is dumped, and the prompt message cannot be issued in time Prompt users or pedestrians to stop or help the car according to regulations. Therefore, it is very important to solve the problem of random parking of shared cars by guiding users to park in real time and detecting vehicle dumping.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow diagram showing an exemplary process for implementing the system 101 guiding the user to park to guide the user to park according to some embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention. The methods include:

Step 401, acquire the user's parking request and the current location of the vehicle.

Specifically, in some embodiments, after using a vehicle (such as a shared car) to complete the trip, the user uses the user terminal 130 (such as an APP in a handheld mobile device or a device installed on the vehicle, etc.) The user parking system 101 sends a parking request. After the system 101 guides the user to obtain the parking request sent by the user terminal 130, it obtains the parking request through positioning technology (such as PPD positioning technology, GPS satellite positioning, Bluetooth positioning, WIFI network positioning, Beidou positioning, and GPRS/CDMA mobile communication technology positioning). The current location of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the user can also directly send the current location of the vehicle to the guiding user parking system 101 through the user terminal 130 . For example, the user may manually input a text description of the geographic location of the current location of the vehicle through the interface of the user terminal 130 . For another example, the user terminal 130 transmits the current location acquired by its own positioning device (for example, a GPS module) to the system 101 for guiding the user to park.

Step 402, based on the user's parking request and the current location of the vehicle, determine at least one parking spot and navigation information from the current location of the vehicle to the at least one parking spot.

Specifically, after the user is guided to park, the system 101 searches for a parking spot within a certain area after acquiring the user's parking request and the current location of the vehicle. For example, the system 101 guides the user to search for a parking spot in an area centered on the current location of the vehicle and a certain distance (eg, 1000 meters) as the radius. The parking spots may be preset fixed parking positions, and each parking spot includes at least one parking space. After searching for a parking spot, guide the user to park the system 101 to further analyze the parking space usage in the parking spot; when there is a vacant parking space in the parking spot, determine that the parking spot is an available parking spot, and determine the current position of the vehicle to the parking spot point navigation information. In some embodiments, when the user sends a parking request, the guiding user parking system 101 can simultaneously determine multiple parking spots, and simultaneously determine navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to each of the parking spots.

Step 403, sending the at least one parking spot and the navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to the at least one parking spot to the user terminal.

Specifically, the system 101 guiding the user to park can send at least one parking spot and navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to at least one of the parking spots to the user terminal 130 (such as an APP in a handheld mobile device or equipment installed on the vehicle, etc.). The user parks the vehicle in the parking spot according to the parking spot and navigation information received by the user terminal 130, and returns the car.

It should be noted that the above description about the method for guiding the user to park is only for the convenience of description, and does not limit the application to the scope of the examples. It can be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the basic principle of the present application, they can make changes to the method for guiding the user to park without departing from this principle. For example, some steps may be added, subtracted, combined or split. In some embodiments, a step of user selecting a parking spot may be added after step 402 . Such deformations are within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 5 is another exemplary flowchart for implementing the system 101 guiding the user to park to guide the user to park according to some embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention. The methods include:

Step 501, acquire the user's parking request and the current location of the vehicle.

Step 502: Determine at least one parking spot based on the user's parking request and the current location of the vehicle.

Step 503, sending the at least one parking point to the user terminal.

Step 504, receiving the parking spot selected by the user through the user terminal from the at least one parking spot, and guiding the user to park the vehicle in the parking spot.

Specifically, after the user receives at least one parking spot sent by the guiding user parking system 101 through the user terminal 130, the user can arbitrarily select a parking spot from the at least one parking spot as a waiting spot for parking the vehicle. For example, the user may select the parking spot closest to the current location of the vehicle from at least one parking spot as the waiting spot. The user terminal 130 feeds back the parking point selected by the user to the guiding user parking system 101 through the network 120 , and the guiding user parking system 101 sends the navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to the waiting parking point to the user terminal 130 . According to the navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to the parking spot, the user parks the vehicle in the parking spot and returns the vehicle. For example, the user may send the vehicle to the parking space at the parking spot according to the navigation information displayed on the user terminal 130 (which may include a display device). After the system 101 for guiding the user to park the vehicle detects that the user has parked the vehicle at the parking spot, it can send a message of “returning the vehicle completed” to the user terminal 130 .

Step 505, determine whether the vehicle has parked at the designated location of the parking spot.

Specifically, the waiting point for parking may be a preset fixed parking position, and the waiting point for parking may include at least one parking space. In order to make each parking space in the parking spot rationally use and save parking space, the vehicle should be parked at a designated location of the parking spot (such as parking in the middle of the vacant parking space at the parking spot).

In order to ensure that the vehicle is parked at the designated location of the parking spot, the parking system 101 guides the user to determine the location information of the vehicle in the parking spot through certain auxiliary detection equipment (such as a position sensor). For example, the guiding user parking system 101 can detect the position information of the vehicle in the parking spot through Bluetooth or related technologies through an auxiliary detection device (such as a position sensor) installed in the parking spot; 101 may detect the position information of the vehicle in the parking spot through the auxiliary detection equipment installed in the vehicle (for example, a position sensor). The location information may include the distance of the vehicle to the edge of the parking space.

After determining the location information of the vehicle in the parking spot, the parking system 101 guides the user to determine whether the location information of the vehicle in the waiting parking spot satisfies the location condition. For example, the location condition may be that the distance from the vehicle to the edge of the parking space is not less than a certain distance (eg, 20 centimeters). For another example, when the vehicle enters the sensing range of the position sensor, the position sensor outputs a changed signal, and by detecting the changed signal, it can be determined that the vehicle has entered the designated parking position. When the location information of the vehicle at the waiting spot satisfies the location condition, the parking system 101 guides the user to determine that the vehicle is parked at the designated location of the waiting parking spot, the user returns the car and the system ends the use of the car. When the position information of the vehicle at the spot to be parked does not meet the positional condition, the guiding user parking system 101 determines that the vehicle is not parked at the designated position of the parking spot, and the guiding user parking system 101 will send a reminder message (such as , voice reminder information or alarm information), to remind the user to standardize the return of the car (for example, to park at a designated location), and stop sending the prompt message until the detected vehicle is regulated to return the car.

Step 506, determine whether the vehicle is overturned during the parking process.

In some embodiments, the system 101 for guiding the user to park may determine whether the vehicle is toppled during the parking process by determining the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot. The attitude information may include one or a combination of the attitude angle of the vehicle, the acceleration of the vehicle in a certain axial direction, and the distance between a specific part of the vehicle and the ground.

Wherein, the attitude angle of the vehicle may be obtained by an attitude sensor installed on the vehicle, and the attitude angle may include one or a combination of roll angle, pitch angle and heading angle. The acceleration of the vehicle in a certain axial direction can be represented by a spatial rectangular coordinate system, and can also be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an accelerometer) installed in the vehicle. The distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground may be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an infrared sensor), which may include the distance between the seat and/or the handlebar and the ground.

Based on the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot, the system 101 for guiding the user to park may determine whether the posture information of the vehicle in the parking place satisfies the posture condition. The attitude condition may be whether the attitude angle satisfies the first threshold relationship, whether the acceleration meets the second threshold relationship; whether the distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground meets one or more combinations of the third threshold relationship. When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the attitude condition, the system 101 for guiding the user to park can determine that the vehicle has not fallen over, the user has returned the car, and the system ends the use of the car. For example, when the attitude angle of the vehicle is less than or equal to the first threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not overturned, the user returns the vehicle, and the system ends the use of the vehicle; another example, when the acceleration of a certain axis of the vehicle is less than or equal to the second threshold , it can be determined that the vehicle has not fallen over, the user has returned the car, and the system ends the use of the car; for another example, when the distance between a specific part of the vehicle and the ground is not less than the third threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not fallen over, the user has returned the car, and the system End the car. The first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold are non-negative numbers, which may be preset values. When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot does not meet the attitude condition, the guiding user parking system 101 can determine that the vehicle has fallen, and the guiding user parking system 101 will send a reminder message (such as voice reminder information or alarm information) , to remind the user to return the car in a standard manner (for example, not dumped), and stop sending the prompt message until the vehicle is detected and returned in a standard manner.

Step 507, after determining that the vehicle has parked at the designated location of the parking spot and that the vehicle has not fallen over, the use of the vehicle is terminated.

In some embodiments, after the system 101 guiding the user to park determines that the vehicle has parked at the designated location of the parking spot and that the vehicle has not overturned, it is determined that the user has returned the vehicle as specified. The system 101 for guiding the user to park will give certain rewards (for example, issuing coupons, etc.) to the user who returns the car properly, so as to encourage the user to return the car properly. But when the guiding user parking system 101 detects that the vehicle is not parked at the designated location of the parking spot and/or the vehicle overturns, the guiding user parking system 101 will continue to send the user terminal 130 an unfinished parking prompt message or continue charging.

It should be noted that the above description about the method for guiding the user to park is only for the convenience of description, and does not limit the application to the scope of the examples. It can be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the basic principle of the present application, they can make changes to the method for guiding the user to park without departing from this principle. For example, some steps may be added, subtracted, combined or split. In some embodiments, step 505 and step 506 can be performed simultaneously. Such deformations are within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow diagram showing an exemplary process for detecting whether the vehicle has parked at the designated position of the parking spot according to some embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention. The methods include:

Step 601, acquire the user's parking request and the current vehicle location.

Step 602: Determine at least one parking spot based on the current location of the vehicle.

Step 603, sending at least one parking point to the user terminal.

Step 604, receiving the waiting spot selected by the user from the at least one parking spot, and guiding the user to park the vehicle in the waiting spot.

Step 605, detecting the position information of the vehicle in the parking spot.

Specifically, the waiting point for parking may be a preset fixed parking position, and the waiting point for parking may include at least one parking space. In order to make each parking space in the parking spot rationally use and save parking space, the vehicle should be parked at a designated location of the parking spot (such as parking in the middle of the vacant parking space at the parking spot).

In order to ensure that the vehicle is parked at the designated location of the parking spot, the parking system 101 guides the user to determine the location information of the vehicle in the parking spot by activating certain auxiliary detection equipment (such as a position sensor). For example, the guiding user parking system 101 can detect the position information of the vehicle in the parking spot through Bluetooth or related technologies through an auxiliary detection device (such as a position sensor) installed in the parking spot; 101 may detect the position information of the vehicle in the parking spot through the auxiliary detection equipment installed in the vehicle (for example, a position sensor). The location information may include the distance of the vehicle to the edge of the parking space.

Step 606, determine whether the location information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the location condition.

Specifically, after determining the location information of the vehicle in the waiting spot, the user is guided to the parking system 101 to determine whether the location information of the vehicle in the waiting parking spot satisfies the location condition. For example, the location condition may be that the distance from the vehicle to the edge of the parking space is not less than a certain distance (eg, 20 centimeters). For another example, when the vehicle enters the sensing range of the position sensor, the position sensor outputs a changed signal, and by detecting the changed signal, it can be determined that the vehicle has entered the designated parking position. When the position information of the vehicle at the parking spot satisfies the location condition, guide the user to park the system 101 to determine that the vehicle is parked at the specified location of the waiting parking spot, and guide the user to return the vehicle system 101 to perform step 608. Ending the use of the car; guiding the user to park the system 101 will give the user a certain reward (such as issuing coupons, etc.) to encourage the user to return the car in a standard manner. When the position information of the vehicle at the parking spot does not meet the position condition, guide the user to park the system 101 to perform step 607, send an "incomplete detection" signal (such as voice reminder information or alarm information) to the user, and remind the user to standardize the return of the car ( For example, park at a designated location); or guide the user to park the system 101 and continue charging until the vehicle specification is detected and the vehicle is returned.

It should be noted that the above description about the method for guiding the user to park is only for the convenience of description, and does not limit the application to the scope of the examples. It can be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the basic principle of the present application, they can make changes to the method for guiding the user to park without departing from this principle. For example, some steps may be added, subtracted, combined or split. In some embodiments, step 605 and step 606 can be performed simultaneously. Such deformations are within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart showing an exemplary flow for determining whether the vehicle is toppled during parking according to some embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention. The methods include:

Step 701, acquire the user's parking request and the current vehicle location.

Step 702: Determine at least one parking spot based on the current location of the vehicle.

Step 703, sending at least one parking point to the user terminal.

Step 704: Receive the waiting spot selected by the user from the at least one parking spot, and guide the user to park the vehicle in the waiting spot.

Step 705, detecting the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot.

The attitude information may include one or a combination of the attitude angle of the vehicle, the acceleration of the vehicle in a certain axial direction, and the distance between a specific part of the vehicle and the ground. The attitude angle of the vehicle may be obtained by an attitude sensor installed on the vehicle, and may include one or a combination of roll angle, pitch angle and heading angle. The acceleration of the vehicle can be represented by a spatial rectangular coordinate system, or can be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an accelerometer) installed in the vehicle. The distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground may be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an infrared sensor), which may include the distance between the seat and/or the handlebar and the ground.

Step 706, determine whether the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the posture condition.

Specifically, the attitude condition may be whether the attitude angle satisfies the first threshold relationship, whether the acceleration meets the second threshold relationship; whether the distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground meets one or more combinations of the third threshold relationship. When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the attitude condition, the system 101 guiding the user to park can execute step 707 to determine that the vehicle has not fallen over, the user has returned the car, and the system ends the use of the car. For example, when the attitude angle of the car is less than or equal to the first threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not overturned, the user has returned the car, and the user has finished using the car; for another example, when the acceleration of the vehicle is less than or equal to the second threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not fallen When the vehicle is overturned, the user returns the vehicle, and the system ends the use of the vehicle; for another example, when the distance between a specific part of the vehicle and the ground is not less than the third threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not been dumped, and the user completes the return of the vehicle, and the system ends the use of the vehicle. The first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold are non-negative numbers, which may be preset values. After the user finishes returning the car, the guiding user parking system 101 will give certain rewards (such as issuing coupons, etc.) to the user who returns the car properly, so as to encourage the user to return the car properly.

When the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot does not satisfy the posture condition, the guiding user parking system 101 can perform step 708 to determine that the vehicle has fallen, and the guiding user parking system 101 sends a "vehicle falling" signal (such as a voice reminder) to the user. information or alarm information), to remind the user to standard return the car (such as, return the car without dumping); or guide the user, the parking system 101 will continue to bill until the vehicle is detected to return the car standard (such as, return the car without dumping).

It should be noted that the above description about the method for guiding the user to park is only for the convenience of description, and does not limit the application to the scope of the examples. It can be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the basic principle of the present application, they can make changes to the method for guiding the user to park without departing from this principle. For example, some steps may be added, subtracted, combined or split. In some embodiments, step 705 and step 706 can be performed simultaneously. Such deformations are within the protection scope of the present application.

When the location information of the vehicle at the parking spot satisfies the location condition, the auxiliary detection unit 910 determines that the vehicle is parked at the designated location of the parking spot, the user returns the car and the system ends the use of the car. When the location information of the vehicle at the parking spot does not meet the location condition, the auxiliary detection unit 910 determines that the vehicle has not been parked at the specified location of the parking spot and sends a prompt message to remind the user to return the car in a standard manner until the vehicle is detected. After returning the car in accordance with the standard, stop sending out the prompt message.

The overturn detection unit 920 is used to determine whether the vehicle overturns during parking. In some embodiments, the overturning detection unit 920 can determine whether the vehicle overturns during parking by determining the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot. Based on the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot, the overturn detection unit 920 may determine whether the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the posture condition. When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot does not meet the attitude condition, the overturn detection unit 920 can determine that the vehicle has overturned, and the overturn detection unit 920 will send a reminder message (such as a voice reminder message or an alarm message) at this time to remind The user returns the car according to the specification (for example, not dumped), and stops sending the prompt message until the vehicle is checked and returned according to the specification.

The output module 830 is configured to send the at least one parking spot and the navigation information from the current position of the vehicle to the at least one parking spot to the user terminal 130 . In some embodiments, the output module 830 is configured to, when it is determined that the vehicle has parked at the designated location of the waiting parking spot, output a prompt message of completion of returning the vehicle to the user terminal 130 . In some embodiments, the output module 830 is configured to, when it is determined that the vehicle has not parked at the designated position of the parking spot, output prompt information to the user terminal 130 to remind the vehicle to return in accordance with regulations (for example, to park at the designated position) . In some embodiments, the output module 830 is configured to, when it is determined that the vehicle is overturned during parking, output a reminder message to the user terminal 130 to remind the vehicle to return in accordance with regulations (eg, not overturned). In some embodiments, the output module 830 is configured to, when it is determined that the vehicle does not overturn during the parking process, output a prompt message for returning the vehicle to the user terminal 130 .

The device 110 for guiding users to park may further include a computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer instructions. After the computer reads the computer instructions in the storage medium, the computer executes the method for guiding users to park in the embodiment of the present invention. In some specific embodiments, it is the processor in the computer that specifically executes the method for guiding the user to park.

After the user finishes returning the car, in order to prevent the vehicle from toppling over in the parking spot, the present invention also provides a vehicle tipping prompt system 102. A module (eg, a signal output module) prompts a pedestrian or user to lift up the vehicle.

Fig. 10 is a schematic flow chart showing a method for a vehicle tipping reminder system to implement a vehicle tipping reminder according to some embodiments of the present invention. The methods include:

Step 1001, acquire attitude information of vehicles parked in a parking spot.

The attitude information may include one or a combination of the attitude angle of the vehicle, the acceleration of the vehicle in a certain axial direction, and the distance between a specific part of the vehicle and the ground. The attitude angle of the vehicle may be obtained by an attitude sensor installed on the vehicle, and may include one or a combination of roll angle, pitch angle and heading angle. The acceleration of the vehicle can be represented by a spatial rectangular coordinate system, or can be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an accelerometer) installed in the vehicle. The distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground may be obtained by an attitude sensor (eg, an infrared sensor), which may include the distance between the seat and/or the handlebar and the ground.

Step 1002, determine whether the vehicle parked in the parking spot is overturned.

Based on the acquired posture information, the vehicle dumping warning system 102 determines whether the posture information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the posture condition. The attitude condition may be whether the attitude angle satisfies the first threshold relationship, whether the acceleration meets the second threshold relationship; whether the distance between the specific part of the vehicle and the ground meets one or more combinations of the third threshold relationship. When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot satisfies the attitude condition, the vehicle overturning warning system 102 determines that the vehicle has not overturned. For example, when the attitude angle of the vehicle is less than or equal to the first threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle is not overturned; for another example, when the acceleration of the vehicle is less than or equal to the second threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle is not overturned; When the distance from the ground is not less than the third threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle has not fallen over. The first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold are non-negative numbers, which may be preset values.

When the attitude information of the vehicle in the parking spot does not satisfy the attitude condition, the vehicle tipping warning system 102 determines that the vehicle has tipped over in the parking spot.

Step 1003, after it is determined that the vehicle parked in the parking spot is overturned, it is detected whether there are pedestrians near the vehicle.

Specifically, the vehicle tipping warning system 102 detects pedestrians around the vehicle, determines whether the distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle satisfies a preset distance, and considers that a pedestrian is detected near the vehicle if it is satisfied. For example, when the distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle is less than 5 meters, the vehicle overturning warning system 102 determines that there is a pedestrian near the overturned vehicle.

In some embodiments, the vehicle dump warning system 102 detects the environment information around the vehicle parked in the parking spot, and compares the relationship between the environment information and the environment conditions to determine whether there are pedestrians parked around the vehicle. The environmental information is obtained through environmental sensors (such as temperature sensors, light sensors or pressure sensors, etc.) installed on the vehicle or parking spot, and may include one of temperature, light intensity, pressure on the ground around the vehicle, etc. or any combination of several. The environmental conditions may be one or any of several of the temperature balance around the vehicles parked in the parking spot, the uniform light intensity around the vehicles parked in the parking spot, the ground pressure balance in the parking spot, etc. combination. When the surrounding environment information of the vehicle parked in the parking spot satisfies the environmental condition, the vehicle overturning warning system 102 determines that there are pedestrians around the vehicle parked in the parking spot and the overturned vehicle occurs.

Step 1004, when it is determined that there are pedestrians near the vehicle, a vehicle dumping warning signal is sent.

Specifically, when it is determined that there are pedestrians near the vehicle, a vehicle dumping warning signal is issued. The prompt signal can be output by a certain physical device, and the device can be installed on a specific part of the vehicle (such as a vehicle seat or a handlebar) or in a specific area of a parking spot (such as a parking space in a parking spot).
