3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing parking management and parking location information service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the driver drives the vehicle 200 and attempts to enter a parking lot operated by a sensor network and WPAN technology to provide parking management and parking location information service, the vehicle information management unit 610 of the parking location management server 600. And the security manager 620 recognizes the driver's vehicle 200 and determines that the vehicle is a vehicle that can permit the parking service. If it is determined that the visit permit can be received, the vehicle 200 enters the parking lot (S100).

When the vehicle enters the parking lot, the tag issuing system 900 issues a tag 100 in which the vehicle information is recorded (S200). If the vehicle is an external vehicle, when receiving a visit permission through the parking charging management unit 690, the parking time and the hourly parking charging information may be provided so that the parking charge can be charged according to a predetermined parking time. The tag 100 received by the driver is provided in the vehicle 200 and parked in a specific parking area (S300).

When the parking is completed, the parking management and parking location information providing system recognizes the tag 100 provided in the inside of the vehicle by the sensor network and the WPAN technology, and checks the parking position of the vehicle (S400). . This is accomplished through proper communication between the tag 100 or sensor network and the WPAN routers 410 and 420, as well as suitable sensor means to recognize that the vehicle has parked in the corresponding parking area, such as an infrared sensor, pressure sensor or high frequency sensor. .

When the parking position of the vehicle is confirmed, the ID of the tag 100 and the parking position are registered in the parking location management server 600 (S500), the parking location information and whether or not the parking of the specific parking area. If the vehicle is parked for a long time or if the driver is operating without the parked vehicle at a long distance, the parking management of the vehicle and the abnormality of the parking position information, for example, the fire of the vehicle, theft of the vehicle, the damage of the vehicle, the inside of the vehicle In case of an emergency such as an outsider intrusion into the road or an accident such as a vehicle rush or a car crash, an emergency alarm message may be transmitted to the driver through the wired / wireless network when a corresponding matter is recognized by the sensor network and the WPAN technology.

After registering the parking location information (S500), the parking management and parking location information providing system allows the driver to check the parking location of the vehicle through the tag 100 in various ways (S600). For example, the parking location information may be transmitted by text message, e-mail, or the like through the personal portable terminals 1310, 1320, 1330, or the desktop terminals 1100, 1200. In addition, the driver can check the parking location information on the Internet through the website to check the parking location information of the parking location management server. In addition, through at least one parking position checker 1400 installed in the parking lot, when the driver requests, it may provide the parking position information.

After checking the user parking position (S600), when the driver leaves the parking area for leaving the vehicle (S700), the sensor node 300 indicates that the parking area becomes an empty space in the sensor network and the WPAN routers 410 and 420. Report to the parking location management server 600 through. The parking location management server 600 updates the parking location information in the database 700 (S800).

After the location information update (S800), the tag collection system 1000 recovers the tag 100 issued to the vehicle (S900). When the driver of the external vehicle collects the tag, the parking charge is charged according to the predetermined parking time. As such, when the tag collection and the payment of the parking charge of the external vehicle are normal, the vehicle is discharged (S1000).

4A, 4B, and 4C are detailed flowcharts of the parking position checking process S400 of FIG. 3.

Due to the characteristics of the wireless network, due to interference, shadow area, uncertainty and fluctuation of radio wave coverage, the sensor node 300 may not recognize the tag 100 corresponding to the specific vehicle and thus may not recognize that the specific vehicle is parked. Can be. The situation is as follows: when there is a vehicle already parked in an adjacent parking area and a tag exists in the vehicle, when a vehicle with a tag near the parking area stops temporarily, two or more vehicles are stopped. At about the same time, it can be divided into three cases, such as entering into wireless coverage of a sensor node installed in a corresponding parking area and parking in an adjacent parking area within the corresponding wireless coverage.

As a parking positioning process performed when a vehicle already parked in a first adjacent parking area and a tag exists in the vehicle, first, the vehicle 200 provided with the tag 100 moves the parking area. When finding and parking, the sensor node 300 recognizes that the vehicle is parked in the parking area (S410a).

After the vehicle parking recognition (S410a), the sensor node 300 tries to recognize the tag 100 provided in the vehicle (S420a). If the specific tag of the vehicle is normally recognized (S430a), the parking location management server 600 registers the ID of the specific tag 100 at the specific parking location (S440a).

However, after a failure of recognizing a specific tag of the corresponding vehicle (S430a), when a vehicle in which a tag is issued is parked in an adjacent parking area, and if a specific tag of the corresponding vehicle is not recognized (S450a), the parking location management server 600 Check the tag of the vehicle parked in the adjacent parking area already registered in step (S460a).

The tag identified in the tag confirmation of the parked vehicle of the adjacent parking area is compared (S460a) and the corresponding parking position is predicted by the communication between the other sensor node, the sensor network, and the WPAN router (S470a).

A parking position checking process performed when a vehicle having a tag near the second parking area temporarily stops. First, when the vehicle 200 provided with the tag 100 finds a parking area and parks it, the sensor node 300 recognizes that the vehicle is parked in the parking area (S410b).

After recognizing the vehicle parking in the corresponding parking area of the sensor node 300 (S410b), the sensor node 300 tries to recognize the tag 100 provided in the vehicle (S420b). If the specific tag of the vehicle is normally recognized (S430b), the parking location management server 600 registers the ID of the specific tag 100 at the specific parking location (S440b).

However, after a failure of recognizing a specific tag (S430b), a vehicle having a tag near the corresponding parking area stops temporarily. If the tag of the corresponding vehicle is not recognized (S450b), after a predetermined time, that is, temporarily stopped. When the vehicle leaves the parking area (S460b), the sensor node continuously tries to repeatedly recognize (S470b), and the tag of the vehicle parked in the parking area is determined as one ID (S480b).

A parking position checking process performed when two or more third vehicles enter the wireless coverage of the sensor node installed in the corresponding parking area at about the same time and park in the adjacent parking area within the wireless coverage. If the vehicle 200 is parked by finding a parking area, the sensor node 300 recognizes that the vehicle is parked in the parking area (S410c).

After the sensor node recognizes the parking of the vehicle in the parking area (S410c), the sensor node 300 tries to recognize the tag 100 provided in the vehicle (S420c). If the specific tag of the vehicle is normally recognized (S430c), the parking location management server 600 registers the ID of the specific tag 100 at the specific parking location (S440c).

However, if a specific tag of the vehicle is not recognized after the recognition failure of the specific tag (S430c), that is, the radio wave interference object existing between the corresponding sensor node 300 and the specific tag 100 of the vehicle is present. In an environment that generates the same or the same radio wave interference effect, two or more sensor nodes adjacent to the sensor node 300 attempt to recognize the corresponding tag 100 (S450c). Here, when the specific tag recognition is possible (S460c), the specific parking position registration of the tag ID for parking confirmation through the parking position management server 600 is performed (S440c).

After recognizing the specific tag 100 again after the specific tag recognition S460c, the sensor node 300 inquires the tag ID registered in the parking location management server 600 (S470c). If the location of the specific ID is confirmed (S480c), the specific parking location registration (S440c) as above goes through.

If the identification of the specific tag fails again after checking the position of the specific ID (S480c), two or more adjacent sensor nodes 300 repeatedly attempt to recognize the corresponding tag (S490c). If it is recognized as one ID (S500c), the specific parking location registration (S440c) as above goes through.

After one ID is recognized (S500c), if a failure of recognition with one ID is repeatedly generated, the plurality of vehicles 200 are registered at the same parking area location (S510c). The driver can recognize the vehicle at the registered parking area location because the wireless coverage is within a few meters.

Parking management and parking location information service as described above through the interaction between the sensor node 300, the sensor network and the WPAN routers (410, 420), it is possible to reduce the error about whether parking is recognized, parking location information Can increase the reliability.
