Description

Illegal parking discrimination system through QR code recognition {ILLEGAL PARKING DISTINGUISHING SYSTEM USING QR CODE RECOGNITION}

The present invention relates to an illegal parking control system through a code recognizable by a smartphone, and more specifically, a code recognizable by a smartphone such as a QR code is attached to a vehicle and photographed on the smartphone to determine whether the vehicle is illegally parked. It relates to a system for discriminating illegal parking through the QR code recognition for discriminating.

Recently, illegal parking in apartment complexes is increasing due to a shortage of parking facilities due to a rapid increase in the number of vehicles possessed.

In the case of an apartment complex where the subject control system is not installed, the apartment manager walks around all parking lots in the apartment complex and writes the number of the parked vehicle in a notebook, etc., to check whether the parked vehicle is a vehicle of a resident living in the apartment complex. It is listed and compared one by one with the list of vehicles allowed to park in the apartment complex to check for illegal parking, which is one of the very inefficient methods of illegal parking control.

In connection with such illegal parking determination, Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2013-0100615 discloses an illegal parking warning method through real-time CCTV image analysis. In this patent document, the steps of detecting a vehicle parked in an illegal parking enforcement zone and recognizing the vehicle number and the telephone number of the vehicle; Generating an illegal parking warning message based on the recognized vehicle number and phone number and transmitting the warning message to a driver of the vehicle; And storing the vehicle number and information on the time at which the illegal parking warning message was transmitted. However, this method requires a device for photographing an image in real time. Therefore, there is a problem that the initial cost is high.

In addition, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0024051 describes an illegal parking control management system and its operation method that enables efficient control of illegally parked vehicles based on a database that is differentiated by differential indexing for enforcement areas. It is suggested that different enforcement guidance information extracted by illegal parking differential indicators are stored for each enforcement area, and if the location information of illegally parked vehicles and violation details information are transmitted in real time from a personal mobile terminal located in the enforcement area, the An illegal parking management server that updates the previously stored database of parked vehicles and analyzes and manages information on illegal parking vehicles and illegal parking areas based on the database, and GPS function is built-in to provide information on the enforcement area and each enforcement area. Differently set enforcement methods are transmitted from the illegal parking management server to be displayed, and it is composed of a personal portable terminal that receives location information and violation details information of illegally parked vehicles in the enforcement area and transmits them to the illegal parking management server. It is impossible to install in a complex such as an apartment.

1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a system for determining a negative parking through QR code recognition according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the illegal parking determination system includes a plurality of smartphones 100, an application server 200 providing a parking illegal parking determination service, and a database 300 storing information necessary to implement the service. Including.

The plurality of smartphones 100 include a smartphone 110 for customers (for drivers) installed with an application (app 1) with functions necessary for customers using a parking lot, and an application (app 2 ) Can be distinguished by the installed parking lot smartphone 120. However, this is for the purpose of helping the understanding of the present invention, and the application actually implemented may be separately provided as an application for a customer (driver) and an application for a parking lot, and is provided in an integrated manner so that necessary functions can be used through the user mode in the application. It can also be implemented.

2 is a diagram showing main input information of an application installed in the smartphone 100. As shown in Fig. 2, the customer downloads and installs the application for the customer (or driver), or after installing the integrated application, the user mode provided in the menu of the application is for the customer (for driver). Select to activate the function.

Through the customer (driver) application, the user transmits information necessary for service subscription such as the user's ID, real name, vehicle number, contactable phone number, apartment complex address, parking lot identification number, etc. to the app server 200, and The server 200 generates an ID for a corresponding user and stores the input information in the database 300. Since the driver can drive a plurality of vehicles, a plurality of vehicle numbers can be input. The server manages by matching the input vehicle number and the user to the corresponding parking lot identification number. The parking lot identification number can be obtained from a parking lot application used by the parking lot manager, and this parking lot identification number is uniquely issued from the server for each parking lot.

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

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

The driver prints the transmitted QR code and attaches it to a place that has good visibility and does not interfere with driving, such as the front of a vehicle.

The parking lot manager downloads and installs the parking lot application in the same manner as the customer, or installs an integrated application, and then activates the function by selecting the user mode provided in the menu of the application for parking lot.

In addition, the parking lot manager transmits information necessary for service subscription, such as his ID, real name, number of parking spaces, parking address, parking lot information including hourly parking cost, to the app server 200 through the application, and the app server 200 An ID for a corresponding parking lot manager is generated and the inputted information is stored in the database 300.

In this case, when there are multiple parking lots to be managed by the parking lot manager, the parking lot information for each parking lot is separately input and transmitted to the server, so that a plurality of parking lots operated by the parking lot can be managed within one application. For example, if a parking lot for each building exists in the apartment complex, the parking lot manager registers each parking lot in the app server through an application and receives a unique identification number for each parking lot from the app server. The identification code given from the app server may be in the form of a QR code or a combination of numbers/letters.

In this way, even when the parking lot manager inputs a plurality of parking lots through the application, the app server is configured to give an identification number for each parking lot and transmit it to the parking lot manager's application. Management can be carried out.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3 to be described in more detail the functions of the application classified for each user. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing main functions of a driver application, a parking lot manager application, and an affiliated store application.

* Driver application

The driver application largely includes a user registration module, a parking lot registration module, and a vehicle QR code verification module, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may further include other functional modules for providing other services.

In the case of the user registration module, as described above, it is a module that inputs information necessary to create a user account. Since this has already been described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The used parking lot registration module performs a function of registering a unique identification number for the parking lot used by the user on the server after the user registers the user on the server. In order to register the used parking lot, the user can register the unique identification number of the corresponding parking lot in numbers/letters that can be identified in the parking lot application of the parking manager of the corresponding parking lot in the server through the parking lot registration module of the driver application. In addition, for example, if a QR code for a parking lot corresponding to the parking lot manager's application is given during initial parking registration, the driver may register the corresponding parking lot as a used parking lot by performing a QR code recognition function provided on the screen of the parking lot application. have.

When the user registers the parking lot through the driver's application, the vehicle QR code verification module transmits a QR code including at least the vehicle number and the unique identification number of the parking lot among the information input from the user to the driver application, and the driver receives it. The QR code of the vehicle is printed and attached to the windshield of the vehicle.

* Parking application

Meanwhile, the application for parking lot is largely composed of a parking lot registration module, a QR code scan module, a visiting vehicle registration module, and a vehicle number inquiry module, but the present invention is not limited thereto and further includes other function modules for providing other services. May be.

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

The parking manager can register the parking lot to the server through the parking lot registration module and receive a unique identification number for the registered parking lot.

The QR code scan module scans the driver's vehicle QR code attached to the parked vehicle and transmits the scanned QR code information to the app server. The scanned QR code information includes one or more of a vehicle number, a parking lot identification number, and a user ID.

The visited vehicle registration module is a module that temporarily registers a visitor vehicle, not an apartment resident vehicle, in a server. That is, the parking manager may request temporary parking permit for vehicles visiting the apartment complex from the server through the visited vehicle registration module. For example, when a visiting vehicle permits a visit to a parking manager, the parking manager transmits the vehicle number and visit time to the server through the screen provided on the user interface of the visiting vehicle registration module, and the server is based on the vehicle number. This creates a temporary ID, and registers the allowed time in the created temporary ID. Meanwhile, the created temporary ID is automatically deleted from the server when the input allowable time elapses.

The vehicle number inquiry module functions to determine whether or not the vehicle is a legitimate parking vehicle for a vehicle to which a QR code is not attached to the vehicle. Even if the QR code is not attached to the vehicle, it may be a legitimate vehicle as previously described for the purpose of visiting a shopping mall or a resident of an apartment complex, or it may also be a resident vehicle registered on the server, but the QR code is damaged or dropped for some reason. It could be a legitimate vehicle. However, vehicles that are not assigned a QR code may also be illegally parked vehicles.

The parking manager inquires the vehicle number to the server on the interface screen of the vehicle number inquiry module provided through the application, and the server inquires whether the entered vehicle number is a vehicle number registered as a resident or visitor in the server, and the result is a parking manager. It is operated to send to the application of.

4 is a flowchart schematically showing the QR code assignment process described above. As described in FIG. 4, in step S100, the parking manager first requests the server to register a parking lot through a parking lot application.

In the subsequent step S110, the server assigns an identification number for the parking lot at the request of the parking lot manager (generating a parking lot unique ID) and stores it in the database. In addition, the generated identification number for the parking lot is transmitted to the parking lot manager's application.

After the identification number for the parking lot is generated in step S110, the user (driver) in step S120 requests the server to register the driver's vehicle. At this time, the driver transmits the identification number for the parking lot he/she intends to use to the server. The identification number used at this time may be a unique identification number consisting of letters/numbers received from the parking manager's application or may be performed by scanning a QR code provided from the parking manager's application. In the case of a unique identification number consisting of letters and numbers, it may be illegally used due to leakage of the identification number, and thus, to prevent this, scan the QR code provided by the parking manager's application to receive the encrypted unique number and send it to the server. It is more desirable to register.

Similarly, in step S120, the parking manager may input the visited vehicle number and open a temporary ID on the server. In the case of a temporary ID, it can be automatically extinguished from the server according to the time condition entered when the temporary ID is opened.

Thereafter, in step S130, the server registers the vehicle number and the user ID for the unique identification number (parking lot ID) of the corresponding parking lot. Also, in the case of a temporary ID, the same can be temporarily registered for the unique identification number of the parking lot.

In the following step S140, the server generates and stores a unique QR code for the vehicle and transmits the generated QR code to the user. In the case of a temporary ID registered as a visitor's vehicle number, it is not necessary to generate a separate QR code because it is deleted from the server when the time condition is satisfied.

In step S150, the user who has received the QR code attaches the received QR code to a place such as a windshield of a vehicle.

Next, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a process of determining illegal parking using the QR code generated as described above. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S200, the parking lot manager checks whether a QR code is attached to the vehicle. When the QR code is attached to the vehicle, the step proceeds to S210, and in step S210, the parking lot manager scans the QR code through the QR code scanner provided to the parking lot application. Meanwhile, in the case of a vehicle to which the QR code is not attached, the vehicle number is input in step S215.

When the QR code is scanned in step S210, the server determines whether the scanned QR code is legitimate in step S200, and if it is legitimate, the parking lot identification number and vehicle number are obtained from the QR code. Meanwhile, when the vehicle number is input in S215, the server checks the vehicle number in step S225 to determine whether there is a parking lot identification number registered in the vehicle number.

After the parking lot identification number is obtained from the QR code or vehicle number in steps S220 and S225, in step S230, the server checks whether the vehicle number of the inquired vehicle is a vehicle registered in the corresponding parking lot identification number. This can be easily inquired by searching the database whether there is a corresponding vehicle number for the parking lot identification number. That is, when the parking lot identification number and the vehicle number are acquired from the QR code, the app server determines whether the parking lot identification number and the vehicle number match. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when only the vehicle number is identified from the QR code, the server acquires the parking lot identification number corresponding to the identified vehicle number from the database, and the obtained parking lot identification number It is also possible to determine whether it is the same as the parking lot identification number that can be grasped from the manager's application, and to determine whether or not the parked vehicle is normally registered for the corresponding parking lot.

In step S240, the identification number of the parking lot and the vehicle number are checked as described above to determine whether it is a registered vehicle, and if the vehicle is a registered vehicle, a normal parking notification is displayed on the application of the parking manager as in step S250, and not the registered vehicle. If the vehicle is illegally parked as in step S255, it is displayed on the application of the parking lot manager.

6 is an exemplary screen showing the legitimacy of a parked vehicle displayed through an application of a parking manager after scanning a QR code as described above. As shown in (A) and (B) of FIG. 6, a part of the screen displays the number of the vehicle registered in the scanned QR code and whether the vehicle is registered in the corresponding parking lot or not.

Therefore, even if the QR code is acquired in an abnormal way (for example, when using by copying the QR code of another vehicle), the number of the vehicle initially assigned to the QR code is displayed on the application screen of the parking manager, thereby preventing illegal parking. You can more accurately discriminate.

The reading of the QR code will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 7. 6 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow for scanning and querying a QR code. As shown in FIG. 7, in the parking lot application, in step S10, a QR code attached to the vehicle is scanned using a QR code scanning module and the scanned QR code is transmitted to the app server.

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

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

In step S14, a necessary code is extracted from the original URL, and based on this, it is inquired whether the QR code and the vehicle number match. When the QR code and the vehicle number assigned to the vehicle in step S14 match, it is determined whether the vehicle is normally parked using the vehicle number and the parking lot identification number as in step S15.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments posted in the present invention are for explanation, not for limiting the technical idea of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.

As an example, in the above description, it has been described that a driver or a user requests a QR code from a server through a driver application, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of vehicles allowed to park in the parking lot in the parking lot application of the parking lot manager is collectively It is obvious to those skilled in the art that it is possible to implement a method for inputting into the server and issuing a unique QR code for the vehicle number entered in the server and printing it on the vehicle by the parking manager.

Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be interpreted by the following claims rather than limited by the above-described embodiments, and all technical ideas within the scope equivalent thereto should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
