FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state where a landing door of a mechanical parking facility is closed according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state where a landing door of a mechanical parking facility is opened according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

The safety type mechanical parking apparatus of the present invention may include a mechanical parking facility 200 and a driver terminal 100 as shown in FIG.

The mechanical parking facility 200 refers to a parking facility where a vehicle is mounted on a lift 220 to be parked and mechanically parked. The parking method of the mechanical parking facility 200 of the present invention can be applied to various parking methods such as an elevator type, a plane reciprocating type, and a multi-layered circulation type. The deck 210 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the landing platform so that the driver can safely ascend and descend from the vehicle entering the landing area or the vehicle leaving the parked vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 2, the landing door 230 is normally closed. When the vehicle enters the landing platform and presses the call button for mechanical parking, the lift 220 is located at the center of the deck 210, The landing door 230 is opened as described above. Accordingly, the driver advances the vehicle and places the vehicle in the lift 220. [

However, even if the lift door 230 is opened due to a failure or defect of the mechanical parking facility 200, the lift 220 mounted on the vehicle is not placed in the normal lift position, The door is opened frequently and the driver who does not recognize the door often enters the vehicle and causes a safety accident on the platform.

In order to prevent such a safety accident, the mechanical parking facility 200 of the present invention wirelessly transmits a safety confirmation signal periodically when the lift 220 is in a predetermined lifting position when the lift door 230 is opened. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the lift door 230 is opened, when the lift 220 is correctly positioned at the lift position, the safety confirmation signal is wirelessly transmitted.

The driver terminal 100 is a terminal used by a driver and is exemplified by a smart phone as an example of a smart phone but it may be a tablet PC, a slate PC, a personal digital assistant Assistants, and Portable Multimedia Player (PMP). Of course, it is needless to say that the terminal to which the present invention is applicable is not limited to the above-described kind, but may include all other various mobile terminals capable of beacon communication.

The driver terminal 100 displays a parking enable message when receiving a safety confirmation signal from the mechanical parking facility 200. [ Accordingly, the driver confirms that the lift 220 is in a normal state via the terminal, and moves the vehicle forward to park the vehicle on the lift 220. [

If the safety check signal is not received from the mechanical parking facility 200 despite the fact that the landing door 230 is opened, the driver terminal 100 does not display any message. Therefore, the driver immediately recognizes that there is an abnormality in the mechanical parking facility 200, and safety can be ensured by not advancing the vehicle to park the vehicle.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a mechanical parking facility according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of a mechanical parking facility equipped with an NFC tag with an NFC tag according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a beacon module providing information to a driver terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a driver terminal outputting a parking disabled message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The mechanical parking facility 200 of the present invention may include a deck 210, a lift 220, a landing door 230, and a beacon module 240.

The deck 210 is a flooring material formed on the inner floor of the landing platform and on which the driver of the entering vehicle gets on and off. That is, the driver is safely raised and lowered from a vehicle entering the inside of the landing platform or a vehicle leaving after parking, provided on the inner bottom surface of the landing platform.

The lift 220 is spaced apart from the deck 210 and is a mechanism for mounting and lowering a vehicle entering the landing platform. That is, the lift 220 is installed in the central portion of the deck 210 and car mounted on the landing platform is mounted, and a car entered in accordance with a parking facility on the landing platform, that is, an elevator type, a planar reciprocating type, Descending, reciprocating, and circulating the vehicle while parking the vehicle.

The landing door 230 is an opening / closing door provided at the entrance of the landing platform, and is opened / closed when the lift 220 is in the landing position. That is, the door is installed on the upper part of the front of the landing platform so as to be opened and closed up and down, and the door is opened or closed when the parking vehicle is detected from the entrance of the landing area through a manual or sensor.

The beacon module 240 is a communication module installed on the upper surface of the lift 220 and periodically transmitting a safety confirmation signal through beacon communication.

A beacon is a bluetooth communication technology that periodically transmits certain signals to transmit position information as known in the art. In a narrow sense, beacon uses various information and data using location technology and communication technology based on IT technology. A short-range wireless communication device.

Beacon is a near-field data communication technology based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology that detects smart devices within a short distance and provides various information and services. The beacon itself serves as a reference point for locating information, and the actual information transmission is based on a short distance communication technology such as Bluetooth. The beacon is classified into a low frequency beacon, an LED beacon, a Wi-Fi beacon and a Bluetooth beacon can do. The beacon can operate with a small amount of packet transmission, does not require pairing to connect the two devices, and communicates at low power, so it can recognize the location at a lower cost than other short-range wireless communication technologies. In addition, while NFC is able to communicate only within a distance of 20cm, the beacon is non-contact type and supports up to 50m distance communication.

When the lift 220 is in the correct position when the landing door 230 is opened, the safety confirmation signal transmitted from the beacon module 240 coupled to the lift 220 is transmitted to the driver's terminal So that the mobile station 100 can receive it.

On the other hand, if the lift 220 is not in the correct position and the lift 220 is not present when the landing door 230 is opened, the safety confirmation signal transmitted from the beacon module 240 coupled to the lift 220 The driver terminal 100 in front of the landing door 230 can not receive the driver's terminal 100 and the driver can easily grasp that the lift 220 is in a dangerous state that the lift 220 is not in the correct position.

However, when the lift 220 to be present when the landing door 230 is opened is located at the second floor position, there is a fear that the Bluetooth radio wave transmitted from the beacon module 240 reaches the driver terminal 100 on the landing platform have. To solve this problem, the material of the frame housing of the mechanical parking facility is implemented as a radio wave shielding material.

Further, even when the landing door 230 is closed, the Bluetooth radio waves emitted from the beacon module 240 may pass through the landing door 230 and reach the driver terminal 100. In order to improve this point, the opening / closing door is also made of a radio wave shielding material. Accordingly, when the landing door 230 is closed, no beacon signal of the beacon module 240 flows out. Only when the landing door 230 is opened, the beacon signal of the beacon module 240 reaches the outside can do.

Meanwhile, in order to perform beacon communication between the driver terminal 100 and the beacon module 240, the Bluetooth module of the driver terminal 100 must be activated. Therefore, when the vehicle enters the platform, the driver's terminal 100 of the driver boarding the vehicle must be Bluetooth-activated. This allows the driver to manually activate Bluetooth, but in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the NFC body 300 provided with the NFC tag in which the beacon communication activation code is recorded is provided in the vehicle standby position. Accordingly, when the driver performs NFC tagging of the driver terminal 100, the driver terminal 100 reads the beacon communication activation code recorded in the NFC tag to activate the Bluetooth for beacon communication.

On the other hand, according to the mechanical specifications of the lift 220 of the mechanical parking facility 200, vehicles exceeding the reference weight, the reference height, and the reference width can not be parked. For example, a lift 220 capable of mechanically parking a four-passenger vehicle can not be parked with an SUV, a seven-person vehicle, or the like mounted thereon. The beacon module 240 provides the driver terminal 100 with vehicle information that can be parked on the lift 220 in consideration of the mechanical specifications of the lift 220 of the mechanical parking facility 200. [

That is, as shown in Fig. 6, the beacon module 240 transmits a list of parking allowable vehicles that can be mounted on the lift 220. [ Therefore, the driver terminal 100 displays the list of the parking allowable vehicles received from the beacon module 240. [ Accordingly, the driver can immediately know whether or not his / her vehicle can park in the mechanical parking facility 200 through his / her terminal.

However, it is troublesome to display the list of the parking allowable vehicles on the driver's terminal 100 and to confirm to the driver whether his / her own vehicle belongs.

In order to solve this problem, when the driver's vehicle information registered in advance is not included in the list of mountable vehicles received from the beacon module 240, the driver's terminal 100 of the present invention transmits a non- . Accordingly, the driver can intuitively know whether or not parking is possible in the mechanical parking facility 200 without having to check the list one by one.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are selected and presented in order to assist those of ordinary skill in the art from among various possible examples. The technical idea of the present invention is not necessarily limited to or limited to these embodiments Various changes, modifications, and other equivalent embodiments are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
