PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ENTRANCE OR EXIT OF VEHICLES USING QR CODE RECOGNITION}

The present invention relates to a parking lot entering and leaving management system through a code recognizable by a smart phone. More specifically, a code recognizable by a smart phone, such as a QR code, is attached to a vehicle and photographed by the smartphone to enter and park the car's parking lot. It relates to a parking lot entrance and exit management system for confirming departure and departure.

The parking system is used to efficiently manage the entry, parking and exit of the vehicle in the parking lot. The parking system is connected to various sensors and terminals by wire, and is composed of a local network in the parking booth.

When the network is configured with a wired network for connection with various sensors, terminals, and parking management systems, the wire laying cost is excessively generated, and when the additional equipment is installed, the network is formed through the wire laying again. In order to solve the shortcomings and complexity of the parking system implementation using the wired network, the proposed technology is known as a parking system using a wireless network.

The prior art disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0462362 (registered in 20041208) (wireless parking control system) is a parking recognizer for recognizing whether a vehicle is parked for each parking space, a car number recognizer for recognizing a vehicle number of a parked vehicle, and the parking. An RF transmitter / receiver for transmitting information read from a recognizer and a next identifier, an antenna, a modem for reading information transmitted wirelessly, and a main computer for processing all the transmitted information and controlling various devices.

Through this configuration, parking lot users can check the location where their vehicle is parked to facilitate the user's convenience, and the communication between the equipment is wireless to facilitate the management, maintenance, installation, removal of the parking lot, The existing parking lot also has the advantage of easy installation.

In addition, the prior art disclosed in the Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0462363 (20041208 registration) (wireless parking control system using a code division multiple access communication network) allows the communication between the main processing unit and each device is transmitted using a commercially available CDMA network In addition, the installation cost is low because the existing commercially available stable wireless communication network is used, and it can be immediately installed and removed in existing or new facilities, which reduces the cost of installation and maintenance, and is more stable and faster. It is disclosed to provide a reliable and reliable wireless parking management system.

However, these currently known parking management systems are still incurring excessive initial installation costs to install the initial control system, and in small parking lots, it is impossible to install and utilize them. I'm paying.

FIG. 1 (a) is a diagram illustrating a process of getting in and out of a parking vehicle using a conventional paper parking ticket when a driver parks in a parking lot without a control system. As shown in FIG. 1, when a driver first visits a parking lot to park a vehicle, the parking manager writes the entry time of the vehicle in a parking management note and provides the driver with a parking ticket that records the vehicle number and entry time. .

After that, if the driver wants to leave the vehicle, he / she visits the parking lot manager and asks for the exit with the parking ticket issued. The parking lot manager calculates the parked time based on the arrival time and the current time, and receives the parking fee from the driver. If present, a parking receipt will be made and provided to the driver, which can be quite cumbersome and time consuming for the driver and the parking lot manager.

In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 1, when the driver of the vehicle parks the parking lot and the parking lot use contract, the affiliate stores a parking discount ticket to the customer, and the customer keeps the parking ticket received. If you present a parking ticket when you leave the parking lot, the parking lot manager must go through a more complicated process in which the parking amount is settled by discounting the amount corresponding to the parking ticket. This is because when the driver uses several affiliated stores, parking settlement contracts with the parking lot are different for each affiliated store, so that the settlement of parking becomes very difficult.

In addition, paper parking tickets and parking vouchers are often lost or damaged by customers, and even though they use the merchants, they do not receive a discount on the parking fee.

In addition, the settlement processing method is difficult to accurately calculate the parking fee between the merchant and the parking lot manager because it is difficult to exactly match the number of customers who have been issued a parking ticket using the corresponding merchant and the actual number of customers using the parking ticket. Due to the opaque settlement process of merchants and parking lot managers, there is a problem that disputes arise due to the parking lot fee.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot entry / exit management system for managing the entry / exit of a vehicle in a small parking lot such as a roadside parking lot or a private parking lot that does not have a parking control system. do.

The driver's vehicle includes the driver's vehicle number and is attached with a QR code issued from the app server,

When the driver's vehicle enters the parking lot, the parking lot application scans the QR code provided to the driver's vehicle and sends it to the app server,

The app server searches for a driver ID based on the vehicle number included in the QR code, and if a matching driver ID is found, issues an electronic parking ticket for the driver ID.

The app server is configured to notify the driver application and the parking lot application that an electronic parking ticket for the corresponding driver has been issued.

In the above aspect, only one QR code is issued to one vehicle number and stored in the app server.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, the app server is configured to search for a driver ID based on the vehicle number included in the QR code, and stop issuing the electronic parking ticket if a matching driver ID is not found.

In addition, in the above-described aspect, the QR code attached to the vehicle has a reduced URL (Bintum URL) including only the vehicle owner's contact and vehicle number, and the server stores the original URL linked to the reduced URL in a database of the user account. It is.

According to the present invention described above, even when a driver uses a small parking lot without an entry / exit control system, the driver's parking time is automatically calculated and provided to the driver, so that the driver can accurately check and pay the parking fee. do.

In addition, according to the present invention, the parking lot manager manages the entrance and exit of the parking vehicle simply by using the application without excessive initial installation cost of the parking control system, and also the parking costs are automatically calculated through the application and provided to the parking lot manager. It will be possible to operate a more convenient and transparent accounting system.

However, this is an application that is actually implemented for the purpose of helping the understanding of the present invention can be provided as a customer (for driver) application, the parking lot / merchant application, the parking lot manager and the merchant is provided in the parking / merchant application for The user mode may be used to access the necessary functions. In addition, the present invention App 1, App 2, App 3 can be implemented as a single application, the user selects the user mode (customer, parking lot, merchants) that he wants to use in the application to use the functions of the required app Can be.

3 is a diagram illustrating main input information of an application installed in the smartphone 100. As shown in FIG. 3, a customer downloads and installs an application for a customer (or a driver), or installs an integrated type application, and then uses a user mode provided in a menu of the application for the customer (for an operator). Select to activate the function.

Through the application for the customer (for the driver), the user transmits information required for a service subscription such as a user's ID, real name, vehicle number, contact phone number, etc. to the app server 200, and the app server 200 corresponds to the corresponding user. Create an ID for and store the input information in the database (300). Since the driver may drive a plurality of vehicles, a plurality of vehicle numbers may be input. The server matches and manages the entered vehicle number and the user.

When the driver completes the service subscription through the driver application, the server generates a unique QR code for each of the plurality of vehicle numbers. This is to copy the QR code to prevent illegal use by other drivers. The generated QR code is stored in the database of the user account and passed to the user's application.

In addition, the QR code issued to the vehicle has a reduced URL (Bintum URL) containing only the reduced information including only the vehicle owner's contact and vehicle number, to prevent excessive information exposure, the server is linked to the reduced URL Save the original URL in a database of user accounts.

The parking lot manager downloads and installs the same application for the parking lot as the customer, or installs an application in which the parking lot manager app and the merchant owner app are integrated, and then selects the user mode provided in the application menu for the parking lot and activates the function.

In addition, the parking lot manager transmits the information necessary for the service subscription, such as his or her ID, real name, the number of parking lots, parking address, parking information, including the hourly parking cost to the app server 200, the app server 200 Creates an ID for the corresponding parking lot manager and stores the input information in the database 300.

In this case, when the parking lot manager manages a plurality of parking lots, the parking lot manager inputs the parking lot information for each parking lot separately and transmits the information to the server to manage the plurality of parking lots operated by the user within one application.

On the other hand, when the parking lot manager inputs a plurality of parking lots through the application, the server assigns identification numbers for each parking lot and transmits them to the parking lot manager's application, and the parking lot manager can manage the respective parking lots. Will be.

Merchant owner also transmits the necessary information, such as their ID, real name, contact information, etc. to the app server 200 through the application as described above, the app server 200 generates an ID to the corresponding merchant and input the information To store in the database 300.

On the other hand, merchants must be linked with the parking lot operated by the parking lot manager, for this purpose, the application used by the merchant can enter the ID of the parking lot manager or identification number of the corresponding parking lot. The ID of the parking lot manager or the identification number of the corresponding parking lot may be made using a QR code or the like. For example, the QR code for the parking lot corresponding to the application of the parking lot manager is given at the initial parking lot registration, and the affiliated store owner may register the corresponding parking lot by performing a QR code recognition function provided on the screen of the affiliated store application. In addition, on the contrary, for example, when the affiliated store registers the parking lot after joining the application, the affiliated store provides a QR code generated by the affiliated store application to the parking lot manager, and the parking lot manager performs the affiliated store QR code recognition function to the corresponding parking lot. It may also be configured to register a merchant.

If the affiliated owner uses only one parking lot of the corresponding building, the affiliated owner automatically retrieves the registered parking lot in the server 200 using the use parking lot registration function provided by the application. When the parking lot is opened at the same address based on the entered merchant address, the server may provide a QR code to the corresponding parking lot manager to register as the affiliated parking lot. In addition, by providing a QR code to the parking lot managers nearby, multiple parking lots can be registered and used directly.

In this way, merchants can register one or more of the available parking lots, and if the cost of providing the parking lot is excessively high, the owner can register more parking lots nearby to prevent illegal parking by the merchant users. It is possible to prevent the excessive cost of using the parking lot.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the functions of applications classified by users will be described in more detail. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the main functions of the driver application, the parking lot manager application, and the merchant application.

* Driver application

The driver application is largely configured to include a user registration module, parking ticket confirmation module, vehicle QR code confirmation module, parking discount ticket confirmation module, payment information confirmation module, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and other functional modules for providing other services. It may further include.

As described above, the user registration module is a module for inputting information necessary to create an account of a user. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the case of the parking ticket checking module, when the user uses the parking lot, the parking manager requests the server to issue the parking ticket using the user's ID or the vehicle number, and the server issues the parking ticket having the unique number for the corresponding user ID or the vehicle number to Save it to the base. The driver can check the information on the parking ticket issued to the server in real time from the application through the parking ticket check module of the application.

The parking discount confirmation module is a function module for checking the parking discount issued by the merchant application when the driver uses the merchant after parking. Specifically, after the driver uses the merchant, the merchant presents the parking ticket in the application as described above, the merchant enters the number of the vehicle, or reads the QR code of the vehicle, the merchant stores the parking ticket corresponding to the merchant through the merchant application. The server asks the server to issue a discount ticket for the parking ticket, and the server generates a discount ticket for the parking ticket and stores it in the database. The driver can check the voucher information on the parking ticket issued to the server in real time from the application through the voucher confirmation module of the application.

In addition, the driver application according to the present invention includes a payment information confirmation module. In the case of the payment information confirmation module, the driver can check the parking cost calculated by the server in real time. For example, after a driver parks in a parking lot and a parking ticket or a parking ticket is issued as described above, when the user requests the server to confirm the payment fee through the payment information verification module, the server may request the At the same time, the fare is calculated based on the time-table and at the same time, if there is a discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket, the cost of the discount ticket is subtracted to inform the user of the current parking fee. Accordingly, the driver can accurately check the current parking cost in real time using the application's payment information confirmation module.

* Parking application

Parking application is largely configured to include a parking lot registration module, QR code scan module, entrance module, payment request module, exit confirmation module, parking fee calculation module, but the present invention is not limited to this and other functions for providing other services It may further include a module.

First, the parking lot registration module is a module for inputting information necessary to create an account of the parking lot as described above. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The QR code scan module scans the QR code attached to the vehicle and sends the scanned QR code to the app server.

The occupancy module is a module that functions to register the vehicle as a vehicle that parks the vehicle in the corresponding parking lot when the driver enters the parking lot. To issue a parking ticket for the vehicle, the parking lot manager scans the QR code through the QR code scanning module on the application, or enters the number of the vehicle and sends it to the server, and the server issues the parking ticket for the vehicle.

If the corresponding vehicle is subscribed to the service, the server issues a parking ticket to the ID of the corresponding vehicle owner. If the corresponding vehicle is not subscribed to the service, the server assigns a temporary ID to the number of the vehicle and gives the temporary ID. You will be issued a parking ticket for. This will be described in more detail in the following description.

The parking fee calculation module performs a function of requesting a server to calculate a parking fee for a corresponding vehicle when a parked vehicle leaves the vehicle. The parking lot manager selects the corresponding vehicle when the vehicle leaves through the application and calculates the parking fee calculation in the app, requests whether the discount ticket given to the vehicle or the user's ID corresponding to the server is requested, and the server responds to the request. Accordingly, the discount ticket information for the corresponding vehicle is transmitted to the application of the parking lot manager. At this time, the server is further configured to transmit the parking fee determined by the server to the application for the driver at the same time in addition to the application for the driver so that the driver can also check the parking fee at the same time. Although the calculation of the parking fee in this embodiment has been described as being performed in the application of the parking lot manager, it is apparent that the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured to calculate the parking fee at the server and transmit it to the driver application.

The parking lot manager requests payment from the corresponding driver based on the parking fee calculated in the application, and when the driver completes the payment, the parking lot manager notifies the server through the application that the payment is completed. Subsequently, upon receiving the payment completion request, the server updates the database of the driver who performed the payment to terminate the process for the performed event and also notify the driver that the payment is completed.

The discharging module refers to a process of settlement and settlement of parking costs, and the application for the parking lot determines that a corresponding vehicle has been discharged when the settlement is completed. When the parking lot manager performs the payment completion notification to the server, the server sends a confirmation message to the parking lot manager application, for example, "XXXX vehicle payment and discharging is completed" to confirm that the discharging is completed. Therefore, the settlement completion has the same meaning as the completion of the departure, and even though the payment has been completed and the completion of the departure, if the vehicle parked in the actual parking lot does not take out, a new parking lot entering process must be started.

The parking lot management module records and updates recorded and updated merchants, merchants 'discount coupons, merchants' fare records, and total parking fare records by hourly, daily and monthly statistics. Function. The parking lot manager can be provided with detailed information on the corresponding parking lot through the parking lot management module, and can be used to renew a parking lot use contract with an affiliated store based on such statistical data.

* Merchant Application

The merchant application is largely configured to include a merchant registration module, discount ticket request module, parking lot registration module, parking lot discount ticket issuance and inquiry module, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may further include other functional modules for providing other services. have.

First, the affiliated store registration module is a module for inputting information required to create an affiliated store account for using a parking lot as described above. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the case of the discount ticket request module, when the driver receives the parking ticket and the parking ticket is issued from the server, and presents the vehicle number or the QR code for the driver to the merchant, the merchant enters the QR code scanning function or the vehicle number provided to the merchant application. In addition, the function of requesting the server to issue the parking lot discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket through the discount ticket request module. The server generates a discount ticket for the parking ticket, stores the generated discount ticket in a database, and notifies the driver application and the parking lot application that the discount ticket has been issued.

In the case of the inquiry module for issuing a parking discount ticket for each parking lot, the discount ticket issued by the corresponding affiliated store can be checked when the parking cost settlement inquiry is made. The discount voucher issued by the merchant owner is recorded by the parking lot and stored in the database, and the server can provide the voucher issuance record as statistical data by time zone, daily, monthly and yearly, so that the cost of the parking lot can be transparently and fairly. The payment can be made, and further negotiations with the parking lot manager can be made based on the future parking lot contract.

Figure 5a is a flow chart showing the overall operating flow between the driver application, parking lot application, merchant application and the app server in the parking lot fee calculation method using the application according to the present invention. In addition, in order to more clearly describe the present invention, it is assumed that the user, the parking lot manager, and the franchisee all subscribe to the service according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5A, first, the user performs parking in the parking lot in step ①. In order to simplify the step of entering the parking lot, the vehicle may be provided with a QR code issued in advance by the server and readable by the parking lot application, which includes a vehicle number and a contact number for user identification.

In step ②, the parking lot manager enters the number of the vehicle through the application for the parking lot or reads the QR code attached to the vehicle with a QR code scan module or the like. In the parking lot application, the entrance module transmits the unique identification information about the driver to the server along with the entrance time and the unique identification number of the corresponding parking lot. In step ⓐ, the app server transmits the unique identification number of the driver, the unique identification number of the parking lot, And issuing the parking ticket of the driver or the vehicle for the parking lot based on the arrival time and storing the parking ticket of the driver or the vehicle in the database, and transmitting the parking ticket to the application of the parking lot manager and the driver application that the parking ticket has been issued to the corresponding vehicle or driver as in step ③. Alternatively, the message may be transmitted through a push message.

The reading of the QR code will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 5B. 5B is a diagram illustrating an operation flow for scanning and querying a QR code. As shown in FIG. 5B, the parking lot application scans the QR code attached to the vehicle using the QR code scan module in step S10 and transmits the scanned QR code to the app server.

In a subsequent step S11, the app server first determines whether the scanned URL is a reduced URL. In the case of the reduced URL, the app server searches the user's database for the original URL linked from the vehicle information included in the reduced URL in step S12. On the other hand, if the URL is not reduced in step S11, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, it is determined whether the service-only URL is determined. If it is determined in step S13 that the service-only URL is not determined, the process proceeds to step S17 and ends, whereas in step S13, the process proceeds to S14.

In step S14, the necessary code is extracted from the original URL, and it is inquired whether the QR code and the vehicle number match. If the QR code assigned to the vehicle and the vehicle number in step S14 match, the parking or parking ticket is issued to the user's account as in step S15, and the user is notified that the parking ticket has been issued in step S16.

Referring again to FIG. 5A, the parking ticket issued to the driver is a one-time code having a unique identification number, and the one-time parking ticket may be provided to the driver's application in the form of a QR code or a barcode for ease of use. .

After the parking ticket is issued, step ④ proceeds if the driver uses the affiliated store. The driver shows the parking ticket with the unique identification number issued from the server to the franchisee and requests a discount ticket. In step ⑤, the merchant enters a unique identification number assigned to the parking ticket through the screen interface provided by the application, or requests the app server to issue a discount ticket for the corresponding parking ticket by entering the unique number of the vehicle. This is performed by the discount ticket request module of the merchant application as described above.

When the server receives the request for issuing the discount ticket described above in step ⓑ, the server issues the discount ticket to the parking ticket belonging to the user ID and stores it in the database. Then, the discount ticket for the parking ticket corresponding to the driver application and the affiliated store application is stored as in step ⑥. Notify that it has been issued. The driver can also check this in real time through the discount voucher module of his application.

Subsequently, when the driver leaves in step ⑦, the driver requests the parking lot manager to leave. In step (8), the parking lot manager may enter the number of the vehicle or scan the QR code attached to the vehicle through the screen provided by the parking lot application (car leaving module).

When the server receives the parking fee calculation request from the parking lot application in step ⓒ, the server checks whether there is a discount voucher issued for the corresponding driver ID or vehicle number, and transmits the discount voucher to the parking lot application if there is an issued voucher. The cost calculated by the server is also sent to the driver application.

The driver then pays the parking fee delivered to the application to the parking lot manager, and the parking lot manager notifies the server that the payment for the corresponding parking ticket has been completed, as in step iv. In step ⓓ, the server updates the database with the corresponding parking ticket event processing event and simultaneously transmits the parking fee to the driver application corresponding to the completion of the parking fee.

In addition to the payment completion notification, the server may generate a payment receipt and store it in the database and provide it to the corresponding driver. The payment receipt may be provided through an MMS message in the form of an image including a parking vehicle number, an address of a parking lot, parking time, total fee, voucher information, and actual billing fee, or may be provided as a push message. In addition, since the payment details are stored in the database of the server, the driver can check his / her payment details at any time by accessing the server. Further, although not shown in step ⓓ, the server may be configured to notify the affiliated store that issued the discount ticket linked to the corresponding parking ticket that the discount ticket has been used.

Meanwhile, after transmitting to the driver application that the parking fee is completed in step 완료, the server checks whether the parking lot is completed by the application of the parking lot manager as in step ⑬. The parking lot manager checks whether the release is completed or not through the application and notifies the server.

6 is a flowchart showing the flow of entering and leaving the parking fee settlement method as described above. As shown in FIG. 6, the flow in the loading and unloading process is basically the same as that described with reference to FIG. 5.

However, as shown in step S120 with respect to the parking lot, when the number of vehicles transmitted to the server through the parking lot application is a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S135, the parking ticket is issued and managed as the user's ID, If the number of the vehicle transmitted to the server through the parking lot application is not a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S130, the server issues a temporary ID assigned to the vehicle number and a parking ticket is issued and managed.

In addition, with respect to the departure, the parking fee calculation request is transmitted to the server through the parking lot application as in step S230. If the number of the vehicle is a service subscription vehicle, a discount ticket issued from the user's ID as shown in step S240 is used. If the number of the vehicle is not a service subscription vehicle, as shown in step S250, the server inquires the discount ticket from the temporary ID assigned to the vehicle number and performs the calculation.

Therefore, it is configured to grant and apply an electronic discount ticket even to the driver (unsubscribed driver) that the application is not installed. However, in the case of non-subscribers can not continue to manage their own parking information because all information used is deleted when the payment is completed, parking receipts also if the driver requests a receipt from the parking manager as in step S270 Parking Manager App Receipts can only be sent to the driver's phone number if the driver has entered the driver's phone number and requested a receipt from the server.

7 is a diagram illustrating a subordinate tree of a parking ticket and a discount ticket according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the parking ticket is dependent on the driver's ID or vehicle number, and the issued parking ticket includes one-time unique identification number, driver information or vehicle information, and parking lot information. Therefore, the server can know the vehicle information, such as the information of the parking lot, driver information or vehicle number from the issued parking ticket. In addition, since the driver ID and the vehicle number are linked with the QR code, it is easier to activate the parking event for the corresponding user of the app server by reading the QR code.

The discount ticket is also subject to the parking ticket issued. As described above, the parking ticket has a one-time identification number, and when a discount ticket is issued, it is subject to the unique identification number of the parking ticket. The discount ticket includes the attached parking ticket information, issued merchant information and valid time information. The issued voucher or voucher must be used within a predetermined validity time (for example, 24 hours) and the voucher is deleted from the server after the predetermined time has elapsed.

It is very important for merchants to set a valid time for the voucher. In the case of a paper off-line parking voucher that is actually paper, there is one vehicle parked in the actual parking lot, but a passenger who rides in the car receives the discount voucher for some reason at the merchant. In this case, even though the parking voucher is not used, the merchant owner has to pay for the issued parking voucher, thus causing the merchant owner to lose the actual cost.

In the present invention, since the discount ticket is configured to be subordinate to the parking ticket, even if a passenger who rides in the vehicle receives the discount ticket at the affiliated store as in the previous offline, the discount ticket is used to calculate the parking ticket, so the discount ticket is not used for calculating the actual parking fee. Otherwise, it is not counted as a discount voucher used in the server, it is possible to prevent damages to merchants caused by the discount voucher not used as in the prior art.

8 is a diagram illustrating a processing flow between an application of a merchant and a server when the driver requests a discount ticket for the affiliated store.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, when the driver requests a discount coupon from the affiliated store owner, the affiliated store owner requests a server to issue the discount coupon through the application at step S300.
