KR101924297B1 - Parking location checking system and parking location checking method using same - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a parking location checking system and a parking location checking method using the same. Since a parking area name is displayed by using only unidirectional Bluetooth communication between a beacon (100) and a user terminal (200), data communication between the user terminal (200) and a remote server is not required to display the parking area name. And since a parking location is identified by a beacon signal with strongest reception strength instead of a beacon signal searched first, reliability in parking location identification is improved. Also, since set data of a major code (113) and a minor code (114) are used as an identifier of a parking area, there are practically no limitations on expressing various long parking area names and parking area names can be easily changed. When these points are comprehensively considered, the present invention is advantageous in power consumption and maintenance and management aspects. The present invention is useful in case where a parking location is displayed on a user terminal, in case of going to a parked location, and in case where whether a parking space is available and the location of the parking space are to be identified before parking.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking position checking system and a parking position checking method using the same,

The present invention relates to a parking position determining system and a parking position determining method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a parking position determining system and a parking position determining system for determining a parking position using a beacon in an advertising mode or a broadcasting mode And to a method of determining a position.

Even if you do not remember or remember the parking location after parking, you often get tired because you can not find the parking location. In particular, the large parking lot is more so because it is composed of multiple floors and each floor is wide and complex.

To solve this problem, a system for automatically calculating a parking position using a beacon signal is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 1535773 (published on May 24, 2014, hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1).

However, in the case of Patent Document 1, in the process of confirming the parking position after parking, the smart phone (user terminal) uses the Mac address of the beacon to calculate parking position information for the beacon stored in the remote server, , The name, the number of floors, the location of columns in the floor, and so on. That is, wireless data communication with a remote server is inevitably required in the process of confirming the parking position through the smartphone.

Therefore, if the wireless communication situation is bad due to various reasons such as inside the building or inside the building, it is a problem that the smartphone does not receive accurate parking position.

For example, as soon as the driver comes down from the car, the smart phone held by the driver must download the parking position information on the beacon nearest to the parking vehicle from the remote server. If a wireless communication failure occurs, It is not until the driver reaches a position where the communication condition is smoothly reached by walking away from the car for a long distance. Such a downloading operation is actually performed so that the parking position information about the beacon far from the parking vehicle is actually downloaded, The accuracy of the position may be reduced.

In particular, if the user terminal is not a general smart phone capable of wireless communication but a device that does not support wireless communication, communication with the remote server can not be performed and the parking position can not be grasped at all. For example, in the case of a TAB capable of data communication only under WiFi, the parking position can not be grasped unless a WiFi is installed in the parking lot.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Registration No. 1547830 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 2") discloses a method for determining a parking position through a device name of a Bluetooth device that is searched for by a smartphone as a top priority.

Specifically, device names unique to a plurality of Bluetooth devices are set in the form of text, for example, AMART B2-A11, AMART B2-B11, AMART B2-A12 and AMART B2-B12, And receives the information from the Bluetooth device to determine the parking position. Here, AMART is the name of the shopping mall, and B2-A11, B2-B11, B2-A12 and B2-B12 are the names of parking areas.

Unlike Patent Document 1, the patent document 2 has the following disadvantages although the smartphone confirms the parking position through the Bluetooth communication with the Bluetooth device without data communication with the remote server.

First, Patent Document 2 utilizes the name of the device that is searched for in the highest priority in determining the parking position. Since the Bluetooth device which is searched for the highest priority at this time does not guarantee that it is the closest Bluetooth device, I can not grasp exactly.

Second, in the case of AMART (building name), the parking area name is expressed as B2-A11, B2-B11, ..., but in the case of AHOTEL (building name), B2- is 11, B2- It is very troublesome to manually set the Bluetooth device name for each Bluetooth device so that the name of the Bluetooth device corresponds to the name of the parking area.

Third, in the case of Patent Document 2, since the name of the Bluetooth device expressed in a text form immediately indicates the name of the parking area, when it is desired to display 'Incheon Airport Terminal 2 Long Term Parking Lot 1 D floor D121' Bluetooth device must keep sending device name such as 'D121' of parking lot or 'INCHON AIRPORT 2 TERMINAL LONG TERM PARKING 1F D-121'. Therefore, since the amount of data to be transmitted is large, a considerable amount of power is consumed, which causes a disadvantage that the battery replacement interval of the Bluetooth device must be short.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely provided to understand the contents of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will be able to make many modifications within the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these embodiments.

1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a parking position determination system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a parking position determination system according to the present invention includes a user terminal 200 and a plurality of beacons 100.

In the parking lot, a parking line 1a for partitioning a parking space is displayed on the ground, and in the case of an indoor space, a plurality of columns 1 are generally installed. The parking area name can be displayed in various places such as a parking lot wall, a floor, a signpost, a column, etc. In FIG. 1, the column 1 has B1-, B1-, B1-, B1-, As shown in FIG.

The beacon 100 is preferably installed at each place where the name of the parking area is described. In FIG. 1, a case where the beacon 100 is installed on the column 1 is shown. The user terminal 200 can utilize the smart phone as possessed by the user 2 who has completed the parking of the parking car 3 in question.

The beacon 100 periodically transmits the Bluetooth signal of the non-connectable advertizing packet 110 to the periphery without specifying a specific device.

As a reference, there are connecting mode and advertising mode or broadcasting mode as the Bluetooth communication method. In the connecting mode, the smartphone and the Bluetooth earphone are connected in 1: 1 is a conventional Bluetooth communication method that is paired and exchanges data, and the advertising mode refers to a method of unilaterally transmitting signals from one beacon to a neighbor without designating a specific smartphone.

The connection mode Bluetooth earphone transmits a signal to the smartphone and the beacon in the advertising mode transmits the signal to the smartphone at first glance, but in the connecting mode, the signal is transmitted for a 1: 1 bidirectional connection And in the case of the advertising mode, the signal is transmitted for the purpose of data transmission in one direction, not for a 1: 1 bidirectional connection purpose.

Therefore, in the ad- justing mode, the power loss is very small compared to the connecting mode because the pairing / bonding procedure is not required, and the advantage of being able to notify its position and presence through the ad- dressing packet within its own output range .

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a non-connection advertisement packet 110 transmitted from the beacon 100. FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, a non-connection advertisement packet 110 transmitted from the beacon 100 includes a media access control address 111, a universally unique identifier (UUID) 112, a major code 113, minor code 114, and transmit power (Tx power, 115).

Mac address (111) refers to the physical address expressed in the form of 'EF: D7: A4: 97: AD: 08' and is assigned from the beacon manufacturer at the factory. The UUID 112, the major code 113, and the minor code 114 are not physically meaningful values, and the user can designate a specific value for use. The UUID 112 may be expressed in the same manner as 'f8e1d9ef-1915-44d0-818e-c1f6b691704b', and each of the major code 113 and the minor code 114 is represented by a serial number. For example, from 1 to 65500, respectively.

However, in the present invention, the UUID 112, the major code 113, the minor code 114, the transmission strength 115, and the like are used without using the Mac address. However, Information.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an operation principle of a parking position determination system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, in each of the plurality of beacons 100, the non-connection ad- vancing packet 110 is periodically transmitted in one direction. The non-connection admission packet 110 includes information such as the UUID 112, the major code 113, the minor code 114, and the transmission strength 115 as described above.

Preferably, the plurality of beacons 110 have the same transmit strength 115 as the same UUID 112. The former is for preventing the user terminal 200 from unnecessarily receiving data of the beacon beacon, and the latter is for grasping a more accurate parking position.

The user terminal 200 includes a connecting mode Bluetooth connection unit 210, an admission packet receiving unit 220, a parking area name mapping unit 230, a display unit 240, a parking lot layout storage unit 250, A parking position marking unit 270, a user location marking unit 280, and a mode selection unit 290. The parking position marking unit 270,

The admission packet receiving unit 220 includes a parking dedicated UUID setting unit 221a, a UUID determination unit 221, a strongest reception strength selection unit 222, and a major code x minor code reception unit 223.

A parking dedicated UUID is set and stored in the parking dedicated UUID setting section 221a.

The UUID determination unit 221 searches for a connectionless admission packet 110 sent out from a plurality of beacons 100 so that the UUID 112 of the connectionlessly- And receives the remaining signals, that is, the major code 113, the minor code 114, and the transmission strength 115 signal.

In this way, the data of the other-use beacon which is not related to the parking position confirmation is not received from the beginning through the ad- vancing packet receiving unit 220, which is preferable in terms of the parking position confirmation speed and the power consumption.

The strongest reception strength selection unit 222 selects the non-connection admission packet 110 that is picked up at the highest reception strength among the non-connection advertisement packets 110 having the same UUID 112 as the parking- do.

As the user terminal 200 moves farther away from the beacon 100, the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) received by the user terminal 200 will decrease. If the plurality of beacons 100 have the same transmission strength 115, it means that the beacon 100 having the largest reception strength is positioned closest to the user terminal 200.

A complicated process of calculating the distance between the beacon 100 and the user terminal 200 by reflecting various factors with the RSSI value when the plurality of beacons 100 have the same transmission strength 115 The beacon 100 nearest to the beacon 100 can be grasped by comparing only the reception strength RSSI itself.

The major code x minor code receiving section 223 receives the major code 113 and the minor code 114 for the non-connection admission packet 110 which is picked up at the highest received signal strength.

4 is a view for explaining the parking area name mapping unit 230. As shown in FIG. 4, the parking area name mapping unit 230 maps the first area name to the major code 113 among the major code 113 and minor code 114 received from the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 , And the minor code 114 is mapped to the second zone name.

At this time, it is preferable that a first name of the parking area be given a vertical parking area name indicating information related to the number of stories, and a second area name be given a horizontal parking area name indicating position related information in the same floor. Then, the parking position including the vertical and horizontal positions can be expressed through the parking area name having the first area name and the second area name as one set.

For example, when the major code 113 and the minor code 114 '1' are transmitted from the beacon 100, if mapping is performed as shown in FIG. 4, 'Jamsil 2nd Lotte World B1' Quot; 1 " can be expressed. In FIG. 4, the name of the building is included in the first area name, but the name of the building may not be included at all or the name of the building may be included in the second area name. If the name of the building is not included, the name of the parking area will be simply expressed as '4F C15' as in FIG.

The first zone name is mapped to the major code 113 and the second zone name is mapped to the minor code 114. Conversely, the second zone name is mapped to the major code 113, and the minor code 114 ) To be mapped to the first area name.

The user 2 preferably downloads the driving app of the parking position confirmation system according to the present invention from the management server 300 to the user terminal 200 in advance. At this time, the mapping data of the parking area name mapping unit 230 is also downloaded to the user terminal 200 together.

Therefore, for example, when the name of the building or the name of the parking area is changed, if the manager uploads the updated mapping data to the management server 300 without directly changing the device name of the beacon 100 as in the conventional patent document 2, ) Can download the updated mapping data so that the mapping can be made to the changed parking area name, which is highly desirable for maintenance.

The display unit 240 displays the name of the parking area having the first area name and the second area name mapped by the parking area name mapping unit 230 as one set, for example, 'Jamsil 2nd Lotte World B1 B1' And outputs it on the screen of the terminal 200.

On the other hand, the non-connection ad- dressing packet 110 may further include a company code of about 2 bytes, so that the building-related information corresponds to the company code, the floor-related information corresponds to the major code 113, The location-related information can be transmitted in the form of a minor code 114, respectively. The company code can be set to a specific value by the user such as the UUID 112, the major code 113, and the minor code 114. [

In this case, when receiving the major code, the minor code, and the transmission strength, the UUID determination unit 221 receives the company code together, and when the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 receives the major code and the minor code, The company name, the name of the building, the major code, the number of floors, and the minor code) in the parking area name mapping unit 230 including the mapping conversion data of the actual building name corresponding to the company code, Parking position ", and the name of the parking area having the" building name, number of floors, parking position in the floor "as a set is output through the display unit 240.

According to the present invention, even if the beacon 100 transmits a major code 113 and a minor code 114 of a very small amount of data of '1' and '1', the user terminal 200 transmits' 1 " B1 < / RTI > is mapped to a parking area name of long name " 1 "

When the major code 113 and the minor code 114 are used from 1 to 65500, the combination of the major code 113 and the minor code 114 can be sufficiently expressed by 2 bytes each. Therefore, It is possible to express the name of the long-distance parking area including the vertical and horizontal positions.

The name of the parking area may be short, but it may be necessary to express the long name of the building including the name of the building such as 'Jamsil 2nd Lotte World B1 - 1' and 'Incheon International Airport 2nd Terminal Long-term Parking Lot 1 -A1'. In such a case, if such a phrase is directly expressed in the device name as in Patent Document 2, a large amount of data is transmitted from the beacon, and battery replacement due to power consumption frequently occurs. In addition, It is troublesome to collect the beacon one by one and re-enter the new device name directly, which is very inconvenient in terms of maintenance.

However, as in the present invention, after receiving the major codes 113 and minor codes 114 in numerals, the user terminal 200 maps and converts the major code 113 and the minor code 114 to the actual parking zone name through the parking area name mapping unit 230 Such a problem can be solved by employing it.

The parking lot layout storage unit 250 stores a floor parking layout for each building. It is preferable that the parking area name is displayed in the parking lot layout. The parking lot layout is preferably downloaded together with the driving application downloaded from the management server 300 so that the user terminal 200 can always utilize the updated contents in the same manner as the parking area name mapping data.

When the capacity of the parking lot layout is too large, it may be stored in the management server 300 without being downloaded to the user terminal 200 as it is. That is, it means that the parking lot layout storage unit 250 may exist only in the management server 300.

The parking lot layout selection unit 260 selects the major code 113 and the minor code 114 received from the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 among the various parking layouts stored in the parking lot layout storage unit 250, Select the parking lot layout with the parking area. When the parking lot layout storage unit 250 exists only in the management server 300, wireless communication with the management server 300 will be required in the process of selecting the parking lot layout.

The parking position marking unit 270 overlaps the parking position marker 270a indicating the position of the parking space obtained in the parking mode on the selected parking path layout image 250a in the parking path layout selection unit 280, And outputs it to the screen of the user terminal 200.

The parking zone location obtained in the parking mode may be stored in the user terminal 200 or may be transferred to a separate management server 300 and stored. In the latter case, wireless communication with the management server 300 will be performed in the process of displaying the parking position marker 270a.

 6A to 6C to search for the position where the user 2 has parked, the user location marking unit 280 displays the location of the beacon 110 selected by the strongest reception strength selector 222 The user location marker 280a is overlapped on the selected parking lot layout 250a and output on the screen through the display unit 240. [

The mode selection unit 290 is for selecting a parking mode, a search mode, or a parking space confirmation mode. The operation principle of each mode will be described as follows.

Parking mode

When the parking mode is selected through the mode selection unit 290, the admission packet receiving unit 220, the parking area name mapping unit 230, and the display unit 240 are activated, and the parking vehicle 3 is parked The area name is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 on the screen.

The selection of the parking mode may be made by the user manually operating the mode selection unit 290, but may be performed automatically without such operation. For example, when the smartphone and the vehicle in which the driving app for the parking position determination system according to the present invention is downloaded are connected to the Bluetooth through the connecting mode Bluetooth connection unit 210, the vehicle is parked in the parking lot as shown in FIG. The connecting mode is disconnected automatically between the vehicle and the smartphone. At this time, the driving app is activated while the parking mode is automatically selected by the mode selection unit 290. [

When the parking mode is selected and the driving app is activated, the major code 113 and the minor code 114 for the beacon 100, which are picked up with the strongest reception strength, are received via the ad- vancing packet receiving unit 220, The area name mapping unit 230 maps and converts the actual parking area name corresponding to the major code 113 and the minor code 114 set to '1' in 'Jamsil 2nd Lotte World B1', for example, .

As described above, according to the present invention, since the name of the parking area is displayed using only the one-way Bluetooth communication between the beacon 100 and the user terminal 200, the user terminal 200 and the remote server Since the parking position is grasped through a beacon signal which is not the beacon signal which is searched for in the highest priority but which is received with the strongest reception intensity without requiring data communication, reliability of grasping the parking position is improved, and the major code 113 and the minor code 114) is used as a delimiter of the parking area, there is no practical limitation in expressing a variety of long and long type parking area names, and it is easily changeable. Considering this point, it is advantageous in terms of power consumption and maintenance compared to the conventional case.

Search mode

6 is a diagram for explaining the search mode. When a mode is selected by the mode selection unit 290, the major code 113 and the minor code received from the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 among a plurality of parking layouts stored in the parking lot layout storage unit 250 The parking lot layout 250a having the parking area indicated by the set of the parking lot layout selection unit 260 is selected.

The parking position marker 270a indicating the parking area position obtained in the parking mode is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 by overlapping with the selected parking lot layout 250a through the parking position marking unit 270. [

The parking zone location obtained in the parking mode may be stored in the user terminal 200 or may be transferred to a separate management server 300 and stored. In the latter case, wireless communication with the management server 300 will be performed in the process of overlapping the parking position marker 270a.

6A to 6C, the user location marking unit 280 displays the location of the beacon 110 selected by the strongest reception strength selection unit 222, The user location marker 280a is overlapped on the selected parking lot layout 250a and outputted on the screen through the display unit 240. [ The beacon 110 is preferably installed for each block.

Since the position of the beacon 100 closest to the user terminal 200 is displayed as the user location marker 280a, the user 2 can view the parking position marker 270a and the user location marker 280a at the same time The location can be easily found.

In the case of the present invention, since the movement of the user 2 who searches for the position where the user has parked is quickly recognized only by the reception strength of the non-connection admission packet 110, the user position marker 280a It is displayed along enough.

Parking space confirmation mode

7 is a diagram for explaining a parking space confirmation mode. When the parking space confirmation mode is selected in the mode selection unit 290, the parking lot layout 250a is selected through the parking lot layout selection unit 260 as in the preceding search mode.

The parking position marker 270a indicating the parking area position obtained in the parking mode is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 by overlapping with the selected parking lot layout 250a through the parking position marking unit 270. [ In Fig. 7, red indicates that parking is being performed as parking position marker 270a, and blue indicates an empty parking space. It is preferable if the number of remaining parking spaces displayed on the screen is displayed on the screen.

Since the parking position marker 270a in the parking space confirmation mode is for all users unlike the search mode indicating that the user is in the parking space confirmation mode, it is possible to check how many vehicles are parked in the parking lot. Therefore, the driver can determine the number and location of vacant parking spaces in advance in the parking space before entering the parking space, so that the parking efficiency can be improved.

8 is a flowchart for explaining a parking position confirmation method in a parking mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a plurality of beacons 100 for transmitting a connectionless admission packet having information on the UUID 112, the major code 113, the minor code 114, and the transmission strength 115 to the periphery are installed (S10 ). Here, the plurality of beacons 100 have the same emanating strength 115 as the same UUID 112.

Next, the parking mode is selected through the mode selection unit 290 of the user terminal 200 (S20). The selection of the parking mode may be performed manually by the user 2 and the connecting type Bluetooth connection between the parking vehicle 3 and the user terminal 200 is canceled by turning off the parked vehicle 3 as mentioned above It can be done automatically when it is done.

When the parking mode is selected, the UUID determination unit 221 of the user terminal 200 searches for the non-connection admission packet 110 transmitted from the beacon 100, and transmits the non-connection advertisement packet 110 to the parking dedicated UUID setting unit 221a The minor code 114 and the transmission strength 115 are received only for the unconnected admission packet 110 having the same UUID 112 as the parking dedicated UUID stored in the setting ). By this process, the data of the other-use beacon not related to the parking position confirmation is not received from the beginning.

Next, the unconnected ad- ditioning packet 110, which is picked up at the highest received strength among the unconnected ad- archiving packets 110 having the same UUID 112 as the parking-dedicated UUID, (S40). Since the beacons 100 have the same transmission strength 115, the beacon 100 having the largest reception strength in the user terminal 100 may be located closest to the user terminal 100. [

 Subsequently, the main code 113 and the minor code 114 set for the non-connection admission packet 110 which is picked up at the highest receiving strength are received through the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 (S50).

Next, the first area name is mapped through the parking area name mapping unit 230 to either the major code 113 or the minor code 114 received by the major code x minor code receiving unit 223, And maps the second zone name (S60).

Subsequently, the name of the parking area having the first area name and the second area name mapped by the parking area name mapping unit 230 is outputted on the screen of the user terminal 100 through the display unit 240 (S70) . 4, when '1' and '1' are received as the major code 113 and the minor code 114, 'Jamsil 2nd Lotte World B1' is 1 ' Is displayed.

9 is a flowchart for explaining a parking position confirmation method in the search mode according to the embodiment of the present invention.

First, a search mode is selected through the mode selection unit 290 of the user terminal 200 (S120).

Next, a parking zone indicated by the set of the major code 113 and the minor code 114 received from the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 out of the plurality of parking lot layouts stored in the parking lot layout storage unit 250 The parking lot layout 250a is selected through the parking lot layout selection unit 260 (S130).

Then, a parking position marker 270a indicating the position of the parking zone obtained in the parking mode. The user position marker 280a indicating the position of the beacon 110 selected by the strongest reception strength selection unit 222 when the user 2 moves to search for the position where the user has parked is overlapped on the parking lot layout 250a, (240) to the screen (S140). This overlapping is accomplished through the parking position marking unit 270 and the user location marking unit 280.

 10 is a flowchart for explaining a parking position confirmation method in a parking space confirmation mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the parking space confirmation mode is selected through the mode selection unit 290 of the user terminal 200 (S220).

Next, a parking zone indicated by the set of the major code 113 and the minor code 114 received from the major code x minor code receiving unit 223 out of the plurality of parking lot layouts stored in the parking lot layout storage unit 250 The parking lot layout 250a is selected through the parking layout selection unit 260 (S230).

Subsequently, the parking position marker 270a indicating the position of the parking area obtained in the parking mode for all users is overlapped on the parking layout 250a through the parking position marking unit 270 and displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 (S240).

Since the parking position marker 270a in the parking space confirmation mode is displayed for all users, it is possible to confirm how many vehicles are parked in which position in the parking lot.
