In order to achieve the above object, a computing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to detect a first sensor monitoring a first handover area, a second sensor monitoring a second handover area, or a parking position. a communication unit that is a communication connection path with the parking sensor; Entering into the second handover area through the exit of the moving object from the first handover area detected by the first sensor and the entrance of the moving object to the second handover area detected by the second sensor a handover unit determining whether the moving object is the same as the moving object leaving the first handover area; When it is determined that the moving object entering the second handover area is the same as the moving object leaving the first handover area, the same identification code as the identification code assigned to the moving object in the first handover area or to the moving object an identification code unit that assigns an identification code including a sub identification code identical to the allocated identification code to the mobile body entering the second handover area; and a parking unit that obtains a number of a moving object when entering a parking lot, and receives parking information of the moving object from the parking sensor when the moving object is parked in a parking space after passing through the handover areas. Here, the identification code unit applies an identification code having the same identification code as the identification code assigned to the moving object in the second handover area or an identification code having the same sub identification code as the identification code given to the moving object to the moving object parked in the parking space. and an identification code having the same identification code as the identification code given to the entered moving object or the same sub-identification code as the identification code given to the entered moving object is applied to the moving object passing through the handover areas or the parked vehicle. and identification codes assigned to the moving object in the handover area and the parking space each include the number of the moving object, and information on the moving object leaving the first handover area is input to the exit queue, and the Information on a mobile device that has entered the second handover zone is input to the entry queue, and the handover unit compares the exit queue with the entry queue in space-time, and the mobile device that entered the second handover zone performs the first handover. It is determined whether or not it is the same as the moving object leaving the area. If the speed of the moving object moving through the first handover area or the second handover area is equal to or greater than a preset speed, the handover unit determines whether the moving object is the same as the moving object leaving the first handover area. or extending the second handover area and determining whether a mobile device entering the second handover area using the extended handover area is the same as a mobile body leaving the first handover area, and The parking unit provides a message including a parking location based on the parking information to a terminal, a household terminal or a public terminal associated with the moving object, and the parking unit determines a parking available location based on the parking information of the moving objects parked in the parking space. Provide a message including information on the identified parking available location to a moving object, a terminal associated with the moving object, or a terminal associated with a parking service, and a parking available location close to the ward where the user of the entering moving object resides or to the user Priority is given to a parking available location close to a desired parking location designated in advance by the parking unit, and the parking unit provides a message instructing the user to move to another area if the moving object parked in the parking space is illegally parked or not registered In the case of a vehicle or a specific designated vehicle, the image and parking information obtained in the handover area are transmitted to an external server.

In the parking service system using the multi-sensor handover technology according to the present invention, the moving object entering the second handover area through the exit of the moving object from the first handover area and the entrance of the moving object into the second handover area is the It is determined whether it is the same as the moving object leaving the first handover area, and if it is the same, the identification code assigned to the moving object leaving the first handover area can be assigned to the moving object entering the second handover area. have.

That is, the handover system may perform handover through an algorithm that determines whether two moving objects are temporally and spatially close. As a result, multi-camera handover can be performed with a small amount of computation because handover occurs only in pre-designated handover areas.

As used herein, the singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In this specification, terms such as “consisting of” or “comprising” should not be construed as necessarily including all of the various components or various steps described in the specification, some of which components or some steps are It should be construed that it may not include, or may further include additional components or steps. In addition, terms such as "...unit" and "module" described in the specification mean a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented as hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software. .

The present invention relates to a multi-sensor handover system and a method for providing a parking service therein, by setting handover areas monitored by sensors, for example, cameras, and using a small amount of computation when moving a moving object through the set handover areas. It is possible to track the moving object by confirming that it is the same moving object and assigning the same identification code (eg, a unique number or character string). Here, the movable body is, for example, a vehicle.

Basically, a different identification code is assigned to each camera or handover area. Accordingly, even if the moving object is the same, if a different identification code is given, it is impossible to track the moving object. Accordingly, if the handover system determines that the same moving object passes through the matching handover areas, the handover system may assign the same identification code to the mobile in the handover areas. Accordingly, it may be possible to track the moving object.

According to an embodiment, the handover system may determine whether the moving object is the same by comparing the information of the exit queue for recording the exit of the moving object and the entry queue for recording the entrance of the moving object.

From another point of view, the handover system does not need to acquire specific information, such as the type of the moving object and the vehicle number, and can determine whether the moving object is the same through exiting and entering the handover areas.

Therefore, handover can be accurately performed without machine learning, and as a result, multi-sensor handover and moving object tracking can be performed with a small amount of computation (data throughput).

In addition, in the existing system, it is impossible to track a vehicle if the vehicle type and vehicle number are not known, whereas the handover system of the present invention accurately tracks a moving object even in an environment where it is difficult to grasp specific information about the type or number of the moving object. can do.

In addition, the multi-sensor handover system of the present invention and the method for providing a parking service in this case identify parking information such as the parking position of a moving object parked after passing through the handover areas, and provide various kinds of information to the user using the identified parking information. Parking service can be provided.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the moving body is a vehicle.

1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating a handover technique according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a handover process using a queue according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique in a parking lot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the handover system of the present embodiment may establish a plurality of handover areas 110 and 112 on a road 100 .

Here, the first handover area 110 is an area monitored by a first sensor (a first image acquisition device), for example, a first camera, and the second handover area 112 is a second sensor (second sensor). image acquisition device), for example, an area monitored by a second camera. Meanwhile, the handover regions 110 and 112 may have various shapes, for example, a rectangular shape.

In addition, the first handover area 110 may correspond to a part of the area monitored by the first camera as shown in FIG. 2 , and the second handover area 112 may be monitored by the second sensor. It may correspond to a part of the area. Of course, the first handover area 110 may correspond to the entire area monitored by the first camera, or the second handover area 112 may correspond to the entire area monitored by the second camera. That is, the first handover area 110 corresponds to a part or the whole of the area monitored by the first camera, and the second handover area 112 is part or all of the area monitored by the second camera. may correspond to

According to an embodiment, the handover areas 110 and 112 may be matched with each other. For example, the second handover area 112 with a high probability that a vehicle passing through the first handover area 110 will proceed may be set as a handover area matching the first handover area 110 . That is, the matching handover regions 110 and 112 may be temporally and spatially close regions.

In general, as shown in FIG. 1 , the handover areas 110 and 112 may be arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the road 100 . Of course, on a curved road rather than a straight road, the handover areas 110 and 112 are sequentially arranged, but may also be arranged along a curved line. From another point of view, it may be said that the handover areas 110 and 112 are arranged adjacent to each other in the driving direction of the vehicle.

However, the handover regions 110 and 112 may be in contact as shown in FIG. 1 , may exist spaced apart as shown in FIG. 4 , and may be arranged to overlap depending on the situation.

Hereinafter, an example of a process of handover using the handover regions 110 and 112 in a multi-sensor environment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .

The first sensor (Cam1, 310) detects the first handover area 110 and transmits the detection result (image) to the handover server 300 (computing device), and the second sensor (Cam2, 312) detects the second The handover area 112 may be detected and a detection result (image) may be transmitted to the handover server 300 .

According to an embodiment, the handover server 300 detects a vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 through image analysis transmitted from the first sensor 310 and provides information on the detected vehicle to Zone1. You can enter (write) in the exit queue. For example, the handover server 300 may detect an object corresponding to a vehicle by extracting an object from the image in various ways and comparing the extracted object with a shape of a pre-stored vehicle. As another example, the handover server 300 may determine whether a vehicle is a vehicle by extracting a feature point from the extracted object and comparing the feature point with a predetermined feature point.

In addition, the handover server 300 detects a vehicle entering the second handover area 112 through image analysis transmitted from the second sensor 312 and inputs information on the detected vehicle into the Zone2 entry queue. can do.

Here, the Zone1 exit queue and the Zone2 entry queue may be virtual queues set by the handover server 300 or may correspond to a specific memory space.

Next, the handover server 300 may determine whether the vehicle entering the second handover area 112 is the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 by comparing the Zone1 exit queue and the Zone2 entry queue. .

According to an embodiment, the handover server 300 may determine the vehicles in the Zone1 exit queue and the Zone2 entry queue that are temporally and spatially close to each other as the same vehicle. Of course, as long as it is determined whether the vehicle is the same vehicle using the Zone1 exit queue and the Zone2 entry queue, various modifications may be made, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such a modification falls within the scope of the present invention.

If it is determined that the vehicle entering the second handover area 112 is the same vehicle as the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 , the handover server 300 exits the first handover area 110 . An identification code (eg, 3020293) assigned to a vehicle may be assigned to a vehicle entering the second handover area 112 . As a result, the same identification code may be assigned to a vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 and a vehicle entering the second handover area 112 . Accordingly, it may be possible to track the vehicle in a simple way.

In the method of assigning an identification code to a vehicle entering the second handover area 112, when the vehicle enters the second handover area 112, a new identification code is first given, and the new identification code is assigned according to whether the same vehicle is identified. The identification code may be changed to the identification code assigned to the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110, and the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 after determining whether the same vehicle is identified without a new identification code assignment process The identification code assigned to may be assigned to a vehicle entering the second handover area 112 . This identification code assignment process may be performed automatically without user intervention.

Of course, for more detailed tracking, identification codes for the same vehicle in the handover areas 110 and 112 may be different, but may include the same sub identification code.

According to an embodiment, the identification code may additionally include a sub identification code indicating a handover area in addition to the same sub identification code.

For example, when the identification code assigned to the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 is (handover1, 3020293), the identification code given to the vehicle entering the second handover area 112 is ( handover2, 3020293). That is, identification codes in the handover areas 110 and 112 include the same sub identification code 3020293, but may also include a sub identification code (handover1 or handover2) indicating the handover area, respectively. As a result, information about the same vehicle and location information of the vehicle can be identified through the identification codes. Of course, in addition to the sub identification code corresponding to the space, a sub identification code indicating time may be additionally used, and the sub identification code corresponding to the space is not used and only the sub identification code indicating time may be additionally used.

As another example, when the identification code assigned to the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 is (handover1, 3020293), the identification code given to the vehicle entering the second handover area 112 is (handover1) +handover2, 3020293). That is, information on the handover areas passed by the vehicle is included in the identification code, so that it is possible to identify the same vehicle and at the same time determine the path traveled by the vehicle only by the identification code. As a result, more precise and faster vehicle tracking may be possible.

According to another embodiment, the handover server 300 detects a vehicle leaving the second handover area 112 through image analysis transmitted from the second sensor 312 and provides information on the detected vehicle to Zone2. Can be entered into the exit queue.

In addition, the handover server 300 detects a vehicle entering the first handover area 110 through image analysis transmitted from the first sensor 310 and inputs information on the detected vehicle into the Zone1 entry queue. can do.

Subsequently, the handover server 300 may determine whether the vehicle entering the first handover area 110 is the vehicle leaving the second handover area 112 by comparing the Zone2 exit queue and the Zone1 entry queue. have.

If it is determined that the vehicle entering the first handover area 110 is the vehicle leaving the second handover area 112 , the handover server 300 grants the second handover area 112 to the vehicle leaving the second handover area 112 . An existing identification code (eg, 3020293) may be assigned to a vehicle entering the first handover area 110 . As a result, the same identification code may be assigned to a vehicle leaving the second handover area 112 and a vehicle entering the first handover area 110 . Accordingly, tracking of the vehicle may be possible.

In summary, when a vehicle exiting from one of the matching handover areas enters another area, the handover server 300 may assign the same identification code. That is, the handover server 300 may determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle only by detecting the exit and entry of the vehicle in the handover areas without knowing specific information such as the vehicle type. As a result, a large amount of data throughput may not be required to analyze whether it is the same vehicle.

Recently, a camera is being installed in a high position such as on the roof of an apartment. In this case, it may not be easy to grasp vehicle information because the distance between the camera and the vehicle is long. In such an environment, the handover technique of the present invention may be more useful.

On the other hand, in the handover areas, it is determined whether the vehicle is the same vehicle only by exiting and entering the handover area, but as will be described later, in order to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle, specific vehicle information such as the type of vehicle, Information on the road surface may be additionally used.

In addition, although the time for leaving the first handover area 110 and the vehicle entry time into the second handover area 112 is not considered in the above, it is recognized as the same vehicle only when the vehicle enters within a preset time from the exit. , if the preset time is exceeded, it may not be recognized as the same vehicle. For example, if the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 stops and does not enter the second handover area 112 , another vehicle may first enter the second handover area 112 . In this case, if it is determined that the vehicle is the same, an error may occur. Therefore, it is efficient to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle in consideration of time. That is, the handover system may determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle in consideration of both time and space, and may assign an identification code to the vehicle.

Although not described above, such a handover system may be usefully used in a parking lot as shown in FIG. 5 .

In the parking lot, an identification code (eg, including a vehicle number) may be assigned to the vehicle while the vehicle number is recognized when entering the vehicle. Even if such a vehicle passes through the handover areas 110 and 112, the same identification code will be given, and even if the vehicle is parked in the parking space 500, the same identification code (for example, 23 wards 4567) or the same sub identification A new identification code containing the code (eg, District 1, District 23 4567, additionally including identification codes for parking locations) will be assigned. As a result, in the parking lot, the number of the entered vehicle, the moving route, and the parking position can all be identified. Accordingly, while parking is charged in consideration of the entry time and exit time, the driver may use the identification code to search for a parking location where he/she parked and easily find his/her vehicle.

Without this identification code addition method and handover technology, the entrance time can be known, but the exact parking location cannot be determined.

6 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , as shown in FIG. 1 , the handover areas 110 and 112 should be set side by side, but due to various causes such as a change in the sensor sensing direction due to an external impact, the handover areas 110 and 112 . This may not be sorted.

In this case, information on the road 100 as well as the exit of the vehicle from the first handover area 110 and the vehicle's entrance to the second handover area 112 may be considered.

For example, the handover server stores an image of a road surface, and when the handover areas 110 and 112 are not aligned, the handover server stores an image of a road surface shown in the handover areas 110 and 112 . Alignment may be adjusted by comparing the image with the stored image, or the handover area 110 or 112 may be recognized as the area before the misalignment.

That is, the handover server adjusts and aligns the misaligned handover areas 110 and 112 using road surface information, and then exits the vehicle from the first handover area 110 and performs the second hand. It is possible to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by analyzing the vehicle's entrance to the over area 112 and to add the same identification code.

That is, the handover server corrects the alignment or matching of the handover areas 110 and 112 through road analysis, and then tries to consider the exit and entry of the vehicle in the handover areas 110 and 112 . It can be determined whether they are the same vehicle.

According to an embodiment, the road analysis may be performed by setting feature points on the road surface in order to reduce the amount of computation and comparing the feature points.

7 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7 , another vehicle may enter the second handover area 112 at the same time or with a slight time difference. In this case, it may be difficult to determine which vehicle from among the plurality of vehicles exits the first handover area 110 and enters the second handover area 112 .

Accordingly, the handover server additionally detects specific information on vehicles existing in the handover areas 110 and 112 , for example, the type of vehicle, among vehicles entering the second handover area 112 . The same identification code may be added to the same vehicle as the vehicle leaving the first handover area 110 .

8 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention.

When it is difficult to accurately determine the exit and entrance of the vehicle due to overspeed, the second handover area 112 is expanded only by the extended area 802 or the first handover area 110 is expanded as shown in FIG. 8 . The area 800 may be extended. That is, when the vehicle travels at a speed greater than or equal to the preset speed, at least one of the handover areas 110 and 112 may be expanded. As the handover areas 110 and 112 are expanded, the vehicle may be detected and handover may be performed even if the vehicle speed is high.

In summary, the handover server may determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by analyzing the exit and entry of the vehicle in the extended handover areas, and may add the same identification code.

According to another embodiment, the degree of expansion of the handover areas 110 and 112 may be different according to the speed of the vehicle. For example, the handover areas 110 and 112 may be extended in proportion to the speed of the vehicle.

9 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9 , it may not be determined whether the vehicle is the same vehicle in specific handover areas 110b and 112b due to a sensor failure or the like.

In this case, the handover server compares the handover areas 110a and 110b immediately before the specific handover areas 110b and 112b and the handover areas 110c and 112c immediately after the specific handover areas 110b and 112b in consideration of the driving direction. It is possible to determine whether it is a vehicle and add the same identification code.

For example, when a vehicle exiting from the 2-1 handover area 112a enters the 1-3 handover area 110c, it is determined whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by inputting vehicle information into the entry and exit lines. can do. However, in this case, since the accuracy of determining whether the vehicle is the same vehicle may be lowered, it may be determined whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by additionally acquiring specific vehicle information.

As a result, the same identification number as the identification number assigned to the vehicle in the 2-1 handover area 112a is assigned to the vehicle in the 1-2 handover area 110b and the 2-2 handover area 112b. Even if it is not, it may be assigned to the vehicle in the 1-3 th handover region 110c and the 2-3 th handover region 112c. Accordingly, even if vehicle tracking is interrupted in the middle, continuous tracking of the vehicle may be possible by using the exit and entry of the vehicle in the front and rear handover areas.

10 is a diagram illustrating a handover technique according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10 , when the vehicle spans the handover areas 110 and 1010 or 112 and 1012 arranged up and down, only the exit and entry of the vehicle in the handover areas 110 and 112 is the same vehicle. It is possible to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by additionally using specific vehicle information such as vehicle type without determining whether the vehicle is the same.

11 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a handover server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11 , the handover server of this embodiment includes a control unit 1100 , a communication unit 1102 , a handover unit 1104 , an identification code unit 1106 , a sensor unit 1108 , and a storage unit 1110 . can do.

The communication unit 1102 is a communication connection path with sensors that monitor handover areas.

The handover unit 1104 determines whether the vehicles in the handover areas are the same vehicle by leaving the vehicle in the first handover area and entering the vehicle in the second handover area. The identification code assigned to the vehicle in the first handover area may be equally assigned to the vehicle in the second handover area.

In addition, the handover unit 1104 additionally adds specific vehicle information such as the type of vehicle when it is difficult to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle only by leaving the vehicle and entering the handover areas as described in the above embodiments. It is possible to determine whether the vehicle is the same vehicle by additionally considering the acquired specific vehicle information.

In addition, when the handover areas are mismatched, the handover unit 1104 corrects the handover area matching using road information and determines whether the handover area is the same vehicle in consideration of exit and entry of the vehicle in the handover areas. can determine whether

Furthermore, when the vehicle passes through the handover areas at a preset speed or higher, the handover unit 1104 extends the handover areas and determines whether the vehicle is the same vehicle in consideration of exit and entry of the vehicle in the extended handover areas. can determine whether

The identification code unit 1106 adds an identification code to the vehicle located in the handover area. In particular, when it is determined that the vehicle in the entered handover area is the vehicle exiting the handover area or the matching handover area, The same identification code as the identification code assigned to the exiting vehicle may be assigned to the entering vehicle.

Of course, a new identification code will be assigned to a vehicle newly entering the handover area.

The sensor unit 1108 may control operations of sensors that monitor handover areas.

The storage unit 1110 may store various data, such as information on a handover area, information on an identification code, and information on a specific vehicle.

The controller 1100 may control overall operations of the components of the handover server.

12 is a block diagram illustrating a handover system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12 , the handover system of the present embodiment is a system applicable to an apartment complex, a parking lot, etc., and includes a computing device 1200 , a user terminal 1202 , a first sensor 1210 , a second sensor 1212 , and A parking sensor 1214 may be included.

As described in the above embodiments, the computing device 1200 determines whether the vehicle is the same vehicle through exit and entry of the vehicle in the handover areas monitored by the first sensor 1210 and the second sensor 1212 . and may be assigned the same identification code. Since the handover process has been described in detail in the above embodiments, a description thereof will be omitted.

Also, the computing device 1200 may be connected to the parking sensor 1214 to check parking information such as a parking location of a parked vehicle after passing through the handover areas. For example, the parking sensor 1214 may be a camera, detect a number (vehicle number) of a parked vehicle, and provide a detection result to the computing device 1200 .

As a result, the computing device 1200 may check a vehicle number when entering a vehicle, determine a movement path of the vehicle through handover areas, and determine a parking location. In the handover areas, the identification code of the vehicle includes the vehicle number, and when parking, an identification code including the same identification code as the identification code given in the handover area or the same sub identification code as the identification code given in the handover area is given to the vehicle, the computing device 1200 may determine which path the entered vehicle passed through and at which location it was parked.

According to an embodiment, the computing device 1200 may be connected to the user terminal 1202 or the household terminal, and information about a parking location, a parking available area, an announcement, illegal parking guidance, an instruction to move to a parking space for the disabled or a parking fee, etc. may be provided to the user terminal 1202, the household terminal, or a member sharing terminal (eg, a display installed in an apartment parking lot). As a result, the user can easily find the parking position of the vehicle by grasping it.

For example, when the computing device 1200 is an apartment management server, when an apartment resident (user) parks, information on a parking location may be provided to the user's terminal (user terminal), and thus the user It can be easily moved by vehicle. In particular, when drunk and parked as a surrogate, the user may not know the location of his/her vehicle. When you go to work the next day, you can check the message to easily determine the location of your vehicle.

As another example, when the computing device 1200 finds out that the parked vehicle is an unregistered vehicle or a vehicle specifically designated by an investigation agency, various information such as a movement path of the vehicle, an image in the handover area, and a parking time are stored in an external server. , for example, as a police server. As a result, police are better able to track criminals.

13 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a parking service using a handover system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13 , when a vehicle enters an indoor/outdoor parking lot or an outdoor parking lot such as an apartment, the computing device 1200 identifies information about the entered vehicle (vehicle number, etc.), and the vehicle passes through handover areas. Accordingly, the vehicle may be tracked (S1300). Here, in the handover areas, an identification code including the same identification code or the same sub identification code may be assigned to the same vehicle.

Subsequently, when the vehicle is parked at a specific location, the computing device 1200 may determine the parking location of the vehicle according to information provided from the parking sensor 1214 ( S1302 ).

As a result, the computing device 1200 may determine all of the vehicle entry information including the vehicle number, the moving route, and the parking location. In particular, the vehicle may be given the same sub-identification number or the same identification code including the vehicle number.

Subsequently, the computing device 1200 may inform a user, for example, an apartment resident, of the identified entrance information, a moving route, or a parking location through the user terminal 1202 ( S1304 ). To this end, the computing device 1200 may pre-identify and store, for example, a phone number of a user who is an apartment resident.

Of course, information on a parking location and the like may be provided to a household terminal or a public terminal other than the user terminal 1202 .

According to an embodiment, the computing device 1200 may provide the user with various additional information as well as information about the parking location in the message. For example, the additional information may be information on advertisements, images/sounds, identification codes, unpaid management fees, announcements, movement orders or parking fees due to parking in a parking space for the disabled.

Here, when the user watches an advertisement or video/sound, the user's household management fee, parking fee, etc. may be discounted.

According to another embodiment, when the vehicle is not a vehicle of a member of a specific group (eg, an apartment dweller), the additional information may be information on a parking fee, a parking available time, a visiting household, an identification code, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 14 , when a vehicle enters an indoor or outdoor parking lot or an outdoor parking lot such as an apartment, the computing device 1200 identifies information (vehicle number, etc.) about the entered vehicle, and the vehicle passes through the handover areas. Accordingly, the vehicle may be tracked (S1400). Here, an identification code including the same identification code or the same sub identification code may be assigned to the same vehicle in the handover areas.

Subsequently, when the vehicle is parked at a specific location, the computing device 1200 may determine the parking location of the vehicle according to information provided from the parking sensor 1214 ( S1402 ). As a result, the computing device 1200 may determine all of the vehicle entry information including the vehicle number, the moving route, and the parking location. In particular, the vehicle may be given the same sub-identification number or the same identification code including the vehicle number.

Continuing, the computing device 1200 may determine the parking status according to the messages provided from the user terminals 1202, and thus may determine the available parking position (S1404).

Subsequently, the computing device 1200 may assist in conveniently parking by providing information on the identified parking available location to a newly entering vehicle (S1406).

In the case of an apartment with insufficient parking space, a user must spend a lot of time to park, but if such a handover system is introduced, an empty parking space can be known when entering the car, so that the user can park conveniently.

Even in an apartment with sufficient parking space, certain parking spaces may not be able to park in the case of cleaning, etc. In this case, there is an inconvenience in that the user has to go to a specific parking space and then find another parking space. Therefore, if the handover system of the present invention is introduced, it is possible to easily park an empty parking space without such inconvenience.

In addition, when parking an apartment, users tend to park in a location close to their own building. Accordingly, the computing device 1200 may determine the user's symbol parking position in advance based on the accumulated data, and guide the user to a parking space available at the identified symbol parking position as the top priority.

As another example, the user may designate a desired parking location at which the user wants to park the computing device 1200 . In this case, the computing device 1200 may preferentially guide the user to a parking available location close to the desired parking location.

Accordingly, user convenience can be maximized.

In addition, even in the case of a vehicle visiting the apartment, it is possible to guide the visitor to a parking location that is easy to access to the building identified when entering the vehicle.

15 is a flowchart illustrating a parking guidance process using a handover system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 15 , when a vehicle enters a parking lot, the computing device 1200 may identify information about the entered vehicle (vehicle number, etc.), and track the vehicle as the vehicle passes through handover areas. There is (S1500).

Subsequently, when the vehicle is parked at a specific location, the computing device 1200 may determine the parking location of the vehicle according to information provided from the parking sensor 1214 ( S1502 ).

Subsequently, the computing device 1200 determines whether the parking is illegal parking (S1504), and when it is determined that the parking is illegal, a warning message to move to another location because it is illegal parking can be provided through the user terminal 1402. There is (S1506).

For example, if the user parks in a parking space for a disabled person or parks an electric vehicle in a non-electric vehicle charging location, the computing device 1200 may send a warning message to the user to move to another location.

Therefore, there is no need for apartment security guards to wander around to identify illegal parking, and there is no need to put warning stickers on vehicles.
