Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a parking payment system suitable for AVP, which is shown in fig. 1 and is a structural block diagram of a preferred embodiment of a parking payment system suitable for AVP provided by the present invention, where the system includes a client device, a vehicle with AVP function, and a cloud server; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the vehicle is used for parking in a target parking space from the current position based on communication with the cloud server after the AVP function is started, acquiring two-dimensional code information on the target parking space and sending the two-dimensional code information to the cloud server;

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the parking payment system suitable for AVP is mainly composed of a client device, a vehicle having an AVP function, and a cloud server, where the client device may be a terminal device such as a user mobile phone, and in the embodiment of the present invention, all functions corresponding to the vehicle may be controlled and implemented by a parking controller (as shown in fig. 1) in the vehicle, and a communication module (as shown in fig. 1) is further present in the vehicle, so that the vehicle can establish communication connections with the client device and the cloud server, and the client device and the cloud server can also communicate with each other.

In specific implementation, the client device is mainly configured to respond to an AVP function start operation performed by a user on the client device to start the AVP function of the vehicle (i.e., when the vehicle needs to be parked, the user can operate the client device to start the AVP function of the vehicle); the method comprises the steps that after an AVP function of the vehicle is started, the vehicle starts from the current position of the vehicle based on communication with a cloud server, continues to run according to a received parking route sent by the cloud server until a target parking space is parked, obtains preset two-dimensional code information on the target parking space after the vehicle is parked into the target parking space successfully, and sends the obtained two-dimensional code information to the cloud server; the cloud server is mainly used for receiving and storing two-dimensional code information sent by the vehicle so as to be called when automatic payment is needed subsequently; the user side equipment is also used for responding to vehicle calling operation performed by the user on the user side equipment and sending a vehicle calling request to the cloud server (namely, when the user needs to get a vehicle, the user can operate the user side equipment to send the vehicle calling request to the cloud end); the cloud server is also used for forwarding the received vehicle calling request sent by the user end equipment to the vehicle so as to wake up the vehicle; the vehicle is also used for completing the whole vehicle awakening and preparing to drive away from the target parking space after receiving a vehicle calling request sent by the cloud server; the cloud server is further used for calling the stored two-dimension code information when the vehicle receives the vehicle calling request and drives away from the target parking space, analyzing the two-dimension code information, correspondingly obtaining parking payment information, and calling a pre-stored user account corresponding to the vehicle to finish automatic fee deduction so as to achieve an automatic payment function.

After the vehicle and the cloud server successfully establish communication connection, the vehicle can obtain the current position of the vehicle through a positioning module (shown in fig. 1) in the vehicle, and send the obtained current position of the vehicle to the cloud server; after receiving the current position of the vehicle, the cloud server can search and determine a target parking space based on the received current position of the vehicle by calling a map provided by a third-party map provider application, and perform parking path planning according to the determined target parking space to determine a parking route between the target parking space and the current position of the vehicle, and send the parking route to the vehicle.

It should be noted that the whole vehicle awakening means that after the vehicle receives a vehicle calling request sent by the cloud server, the vehicle is switched from a sleep state to a remote drive state, and an in-vehicle network is awakened and high voltage is pulled up at the same time, so that the power battery and the motor can work, and the vehicle can automatically drive away from a target parking space.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a parking lot supporting an AVP function, a plurality of AVP-specific parking spaces are arranged in the parking lot, the AVP-specific parking spaces are different from common parking spaces, a unique two-dimensional code tag is arranged at a position where each AVP-specific parking space is located (generally, at a central position of the AVP-specific parking space), and parking space information (for example, XX road XX No. a area No.21 parking spaces in XX city XX area) and parking payment information (for example, payment link and payment standard) of the corresponding AVP-specific parking space can be obtained by scanning and analyzing the two-dimensional code tag.

It can be understood that, in order to achieve the purpose of automatic and sensorless parking payment, the vehicle needs to be authorized in advance to support the AVP parking automatic payment function, for example, a user may send an AVP automatic payment authorization request to the cloud server by operating the user end device, and then the cloud server issues the received AVP automatic payment authorization request to the vehicle of the user, thereby completing the authorization of the AVP parking automatic payment function.

In addition, in order to achieve the purpose of automatic and sensorless parking payment, the cloud server also stores vehicle information of the vehicle in advance, for example, information such as a license plate number and a vehicle model is bound, so that authorized vehicle information is matched after the two-dimensional code information is analyzed to obtain the parking payment information, and meanwhile, the cloud server also stores a user account corresponding to the vehicle in advance, for example, personal information and a personal financial account of a user are bound, and a deposit is pre-paid in advance and a small-amount password-free payment function is required to be opened, so that when the parking payment is required, the user account corresponding to the vehicle is automatically called to complete automatic fee deduction.

According to the parking payment method applicable to the AVP, provided by the embodiment of the invention, parking path planning and parking payment can be realized by vehicle cloud cooperation and the cloud end is used as a main control unit for connecting the user end and the vehicle end, so that the whole automatic payment function is completely embedded into an AVP flow based on the existing whole vehicle hardware system, and after AVP parking of a vehicle is finished, non-sensitive payment can be finished by a user account authorized and bound in advance, thus automatic non-sensitive parking payment in the whole AVP flow can be realized, convenience brought by the AVP function is more conformed, the use experience of the AVP function is further improved, meanwhile, judgment logic interaction among the user end, the vehicle end and the cloud end is reduced, and the robustness of the AVP function is improved.

In another preferred embodiment, the cloud server is further configured to determine a parking range according to a preset distance threshold with the current position of the vehicle as a reference, search and determine the target parking space in the parking range, perform path planning according to the current position of the vehicle and the position of the target parking space, and send a planned parking route to the vehicle;

Specifically, with reference to the above embodiment, when determining a target parking space and a parking route according to a current position of a vehicle, the cloud server may apply a provided map by a third-party map provider, determine a corresponding parking range (for example, using the current position of the vehicle as a center of a circle and using a preset distance threshold as a radius) on the map according to the preset distance threshold using the current position of the vehicle as a reference, and search for an empty AVP exclusive parking space within the determined parking range, it can be understood that there may be more than one empty AVP exclusive parking spaces searched by the cloud server, and only need to use one empty AVP exclusive parking space as a target parking space corresponding to the current vehicle parking, after determining the target parking space, the cloud server may obtain a position of the target parking space, perform parking route planning according to the position of the target parking space and the current position of the vehicle, correspondingly obtain a parking route between the target parking space and the current position of the vehicle, and send the obtained parking route to the vehicle; after the vehicle receives the parking route sent by the cloud server, the vehicle can start from the current position of the vehicle and carry out the form along the planned parking route until the vehicle is parked in the target parking space.

It should be noted that, when the cloud server searches for an AVP exclusive parking space near the vehicle according to the current position of the vehicle, considering that the user may take the vehicle manually, it takes a long time to park the vehicle too far, which affects the user experience, and the preset distance threshold should not be set too long; for example, with the current position of the vehicle as a reference, setting a preset distance threshold value to be 500 meters, and searching for an AVP parking space within 500 meters of a square circle of the current position of the vehicle; alternatively, the preset distance threshold may also be set in combination with the actual situation of the current position of the vehicle, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited specifically.

It should be noted that, when searching for an AVP exclusive parking space within a certain parking range, the cloud server needs to determine whether the searched AVP exclusive parking space is in an idle state, generally, the AVP exclusive parking space is displayed on a map as special information, and when one AVP exclusive parking space is occupied, the AVP exclusive parking space is set to be occupied and displayed on the map, and accordingly, the number of available AVP exclusive parking spaces within the parking range corresponds to-1, for example, 11/7, which indicates that there are 11 AVP exclusive parking spaces within the parking range, wherein 7 of the AVP exclusive parking spaces are in an occupied state, and 4 of the AVP exclusive parking spaces are in an idle state.

In another preferred embodiment, the parking of the vehicle into the target parking space from the current position specifically includes:

starting from a current position, entering a target parking lot along a parking route, and identifying the target parking lot in the target parking lot;

judging whether the target parking space is in an idle state or not;

Specifically, with the above embodiment, when the vehicle starts from the current position according to the parking route and parks in the target parking space, the vehicle may start from the current position of the vehicle, enter the target parking lot (i.e., the parking lot where the target parking space is located) along the parking route, and then sense all parking spaces in the target parking lot by using a sensing module (shown in fig. 1) in the vehicle, so as to identify the target parking space corresponding to the end point of the parking route, and further determine whether the target parking space is currently in an idle state, when it is determined that the target parking space is currently in the idle state, the vehicle parks in the target parking space again, and when it is determined that the target parking space is not currently in the idle state, the vehicle may send an AVP parking failure signal to the cloud server, and send the current position of the vehicle to the cloud server again; the cloud server is further used for recalling a map provided by a third-party map provider application after receiving the AVP parking failure signal sent by the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle, searching and determining a new target parking space based on the received current position of the vehicle, and performing parking path planning according to the determined new target parking space to determine a new parking route between the new target parking space and the current position of the vehicle and sending the new parking route to the vehicle; correspondingly, the vehicle is also used for parking a new target parking space along a new parking route from the current position; the cloud server determines a new target parking space and a new parking route according to the current position of the vehicle, and the specific implementation process of the vehicle for parking the new target parking space along the new parking route is the same as the implementation process in the above embodiment, which is not repeated here.

It should be noted that, when the cloud server searches and determines a target parking space and a parking route, the determined target parking space is free, but since it takes a certain time for a vehicle to reach the target parking space, when the vehicle arrives, the target parking space may be occupied by other vehicles, and therefore, before the vehicle prepares to park in the target parking space, it must be determined whether the target parking space is free; for example, the vehicle may utilize its ADAS visual perception system to identify a target parking space and determine the idle state.

It should be noted that, with regard to the setting of the preset distance threshold in the above embodiment, there is an influence in consideration of the target parking space being preempted, and the preset distance threshold should not be set too long, and this is also to prevent the target parking space from being preempted frequently due to lack of timeliness.

It should be noted that, when determining a new target parking space and a new parking route according to the current position of the vehicle, if it is determined by searching that no free AVP-specific parking space is available near the vehicle and all ordinary parking spaces are occupied, a determination condition may be added when starting the AVP function in the preceding period, where the electric quantity of the vehicle is required to be higher than a certain threshold (for example, higher than 30%) and the remaining cruising is higher than a certain threshold (for example, higher than 100 km), so as to ensure that the electric quantity is sufficient in the process of continuously searching for a parking space by the vehicle, and it can be understood that, in a large parking lot with complete conditions, the vehicle may always run at a low speed until a free available AVP-specific parking space is found (except for a peak period, there is generally no free AVP-specific parking space).

In yet another preferred embodiment, the vehicle includes an autonomous driving range controller and a number of cameras;

then, the vehicle is configured to, after the AVP function is turned on, park in a target parking space from a current position based on communication with the cloud server, acquire two-dimensional code information on the target parking space, and send the two-dimensional code information to the cloud server, specifically:

the automatic driving area controller is used for controlling the vehicle to park in a target parking space from the current position based on communication with the cloud server after the AVP function of the vehicle is started, and the plurality of cameras are used for acquiring two-dimensional code information on the target parking space and sending the two-dimensional code information to the cloud server.

Specifically, the vehicle includes an automatic driving area controller and a plurality of cameras, and correspondingly, in the embodiment of the present invention, all functions corresponding to the vehicle may be controlled and implemented by the automatic driving area controller in the vehicle (that is, the parking controller shown in fig. 1 may be an automatic driving area controller), for example, functions of controlling the vehicle to travel to a target parking space, parking in a garage, intercepting a two-dimensional code, receiving a call to travel away from the target parking space, and the like may be implemented by the automatic driving area controller in cooperation with the cameras.

For example, the automatic driving area controller is mainly used for controlling the vehicle to start from the current position of the vehicle based on communication with the cloud server after the AVP function of the vehicle is turned on, continuing to drive according to the received parking route sent by the cloud server until the vehicle is parked in the target parking space, and after the vehicle is controlled to be parked in the target parking space successfully, acquiring an environment image (including a ground image of the target parking space) around the vehicle by using a plurality of cameras in the vehicle, thereby acquiring two-dimensional code information on the target parking space, and sending the acquired two-dimensional code information to the cloud server.

In yet another preferred embodiment, shown in conjunction with fig. 1, the vehicle further comprises a cockpit area controller;

With the adoption of the embodiment, the vehicle comprises the automatic driving area controller and the plurality of cameras, and correspondingly, the functions of controlling the vehicle to run to the target parking space, parking and entering the garage, receiving the call to leave the target parking space and the like can be independently completed by the automatic driving area controller, and the two-dimensional code is intercepted by the automatic driving area controller and the cameras are matched to realize the two-dimensional code interception.

In specific implementation, the automatic driving area controller is also used for sending an AVP parking success signal to the cockpit area controller after controlling the vehicle to successfully park in the target parking space according to the parking route; the cockpit area controller is mainly used for acquiring an environment image around a vehicle by using a plurality of cameras of the vehicle after receiving an AVP (automatic vehicle parking) successful parking signal, realizing a transparent chassis function by using an image splicing technology, automatically intercepting a ground image of a target parking space (the ground image comprises two-dimensional code information on the target parking space) based on the transparent chassis function, and sending the intercepted ground image to the automatic driving area controller; after the automatic driving area controller obtains the two-dimensional code information on the target parking space in the ground image, the obtained two-dimensional code information can be sent to the cloud server.

It should be noted that, the vehicle has advanced visual perception module (for example, the camera has been set up respectively in four directions all around of vehicle), the transparent chassis function of 540 through image splicing technique can be realized to the passenger cabin territory controller, can gather the two-dimensional code information on the exclusive parking stall of AVP through transparent chassis, it is unique and fixed to gather the flow, the condition of other two-dimensional codes of misidentification can not appear in the AVP parking process, and after the vehicle accomplishes automatic parking, the passenger cabin territory controller can automatic intercepting transparent chassis image, realize the record storage of two-dimensional code information and upload the cloud end server, need not artifical the intervention.

In another preferred embodiment, the cloud server is further configured to determine whether the two-dimensional code information is valid after receiving the two-dimensional code information sent by the vehicle, if yes, store the two-dimensional code information, analyze the two-dimensional code information to obtain parking space information of the target parking space, and send the parking space information to the client device, and if not, send an AVP payment failure signal and a current position of the vehicle to the client device;

and the customer premise equipment is further used for disabling the automatic calling function of the vehicle after receiving the AVP payment failure signal, and displaying payment failure information and the current position of the vehicle to a user after receiving the vehicle calling operation of the user so as to remind the user to manually take the vehicle.

Specifically, with the embodiment, after receiving the two-dimensional code information sent by the vehicle, the cloud server can firstly judge whether the received two-dimensional code information is valid, and when the received two-dimensional code information is judged to be valid, the cloud server stores the two-dimensional code information so as to call the two-dimensional code information when automatic payment is needed subsequently; when the received two-dimensional code information is judged to be invalid, the cloud server can send an AVP payment failure signal and the current position (namely the parking position) of the vehicle to the user end equipment; correspondingly, the customer premise equipment is also used for forbidding the automatic calling function of the vehicle after receiving the AVP payment failure signal sent by the cloud server and the current position of the vehicle, and displaying payment failure information and the current position of the vehicle to the user after receiving the vehicle calling operation of the user so as to remind the user that the automatic payment function fails, and the user can go to the parking position by himself to manually take the vehicle when the user needs to take the vehicle.

It should be noted that the two-dimensional code label on the AVP exclusive parking space must be clearly visible and valid (corresponding parking space information, payment link and payment standard can be identified by normal scanning), and if the two-dimensional code label is invalid (for example, blocked, altered, unidentified, etc.), the automatic payment function cannot be realized.

In a further preferred embodiment, the vehicle is further configured to send the time when the vehicle arrives at the entrance gate of the target parking lot to the cloud server as a parking start time in the process of parking in the target parking lot from the current position;

the vehicle is also used for taking the time of receiving the vehicle calling request as parking ending time, sending the parking ending time to the cloud server, and sending an AVP parking ending signal to the cloud server when the vehicle is ready to drive away from the target parking space;

then, when the vehicle receives a vehicle call request and drives away from the target parking space, the cloud server analyzes the two-dimensional code information to obtain parking payment information, and calls a pre-stored user account corresponding to the vehicle to complete automatic fee deduction, which specifically includes:

Specifically, with reference to the foregoing embodiment, the vehicle is further configured to, in the process of starting from the current position and parking into the target parking space along the parking route, when the vehicle arrives at an entrance gate of the target parking lot, take the time when the vehicle arrives at the entrance gate as the parking start time, and send the parking start time to the cloud server; the cloud server is also used for receiving and storing the parking starting time sent by the vehicle; the cloud server is also used for forwarding the received vehicle calling request to the vehicle when receiving the vehicle calling request sent by the user terminal equipment; the vehicle is also used for taking the time of receiving the vehicle calling request as parking ending time when receiving the vehicle calling request sent by the cloud server, sending the parking ending time to the cloud server, and sending an AVP parking ending signal to the cloud server when the vehicle completes the whole vehicle awakening according to the received vehicle calling request and prepares to drive away from a target parking space; the cloud server is also used for receiving and storing the parking ending time sent by the vehicle; correspondingly, after receiving an AVP parking end signal sent by a vehicle, the cloud server can call the stored parking start time and parking end time, calculate and obtain the parking time of the vehicle according to the parking start time and the parking end time, call the stored two-dimensional code information, scan and analyze the two-dimensional code information, correspondingly obtain a payment link and a payment standard, open the payment link, call and automatically fill in a pre-stored license plate number of the vehicle, match the license plate number of the vehicle into the payment link in the two-dimensional code information, realize payment verification of the vehicle, generate a corresponding payment bill according to the parking time of the vehicle obtained through calculation and the payment standard obtained through analysis after the verification is passed, and call a user account corresponding to the pre-stored vehicle according to the generated payment bill to finish automatic deduction so as to realize an automatic payment function.

It should be noted that the cloud server enters the payment link after scanning the two-dimensional code information, the license plate number of the vehicle for payment needs to be input during payment, the cloud server can automatically fill the license plate number of the vehicle stored in advance into the payment link, and then the automatic secret-free settlement is performed after a bill is generated.
