Description

Parking management system using GPS and GPS unit for it

The present invention relates to a parking management system using GPS and a GPS unit for the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a parking surface without using a GPS system capable of knowing the location and time through communication with satellites. It is possible to easily determine whether the vehicle is parked, to prevent the risk of malfunction by limiting the reception angle range of the signal transmitted from the satellite, and to accurately collect parking fees using accurate time information. It is about a technical idea that can be easily understood.

In general, a parking lot where many vehicles can be parked is not easy for the driver of the vehicle to find an empty parking surface to park the vehicle when there are many vehicles, so the vehicle driver roams the inside of the parking lot to find an empty parking surface. Or longer waiting time.

In order to solve this inconvenience, many parking lots have recently introduced a parking guidance system or parking management system.

Conventional general parking guidance systems or parking management systems guide the direction of the vehicle in the aisle in the parking lot, or guide the number of parking spaces available for parking so that the user can know whether there is a parking space available in the parking lot. have.

However, in the conventional parking guidance system or parking management system, an ultrasonic sensor or the like is mainly used to detect a vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is parked on the parking surface. However, such an ultrasonic sensor has a problem that it is difficult to use in an outdoor parking lot instead of an indoor parking lot due to the risk of malfunction or damage by a small object other than a vehicle (eg, fallen leaves, garbage, etc.). Maintenance costs are significant and can be costly.

Therefore, in most outdoor parking lots, it is difficult to know whether the empty parking surface remains, if there are several empty parking surfaces, or where the empty parking surface is located in the parking lot.

In addition, even in an outdoor parking lot, it is difficult to accurately calculate the parking time in a parking lot that does not have a separate management system at the entrance and exit of the parking lot, for example, a resident-first parking lot or a roadside parking lot that is divided in an alley. There is a case where a parking fee is collected or a user does not pay the parking fee properly.

Especially in the case of parking surfaces that can only be used by a pre-authorized user, such as a resident-priority parking lot or a regular user of a parking lot, an unauthorized user is required to carry out continuous monitoring through a separate parking control system or if the enforcement personnel do not control the dispatch. Unauthorized parking is not easy to detect, and thus, an authorized user frequently causes unintended damages.

Therefore, a technical idea is required to easily and simply determine whether a vehicle is parked in an outdoor parking lot or a roadside parking surface, and to accurately determine whether a user who uses the parking surface is an authorized user and a user's parking time.

In addition, conventionally, it is difficult for a user to check whether there is an empty parking surface that can be parked in a parking lot before directly visiting the parking lot, and after visiting the parking lot, there is a case of searching for another parking lot having an empty parking surface.

Therefore, before the user visits the parking lot, a technical idea is required so that the location of each parking lot and / or parking information for each parking lot (such as the number of empty parking surfaces and / or empty parking surface locations) can be provided.

On the contrary, when one component 'directly transmits' data to another component, it means that the data is transmitted from the component to the other component without passing through the other component.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

1 shows a schematic configuration of a parking management system using GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a parking management system using GPS according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a GPS unit 10 and a control system 100 respectively provided on at least one parking surface p. In addition, the user may be provided with parking information provided according to the technical idea of the present invention through the user terminal 200.

The GPS unit 10 is a GPS module that can know its location information (eg, longitude, latitude, elevation, etc.) by using a signal (radio wave) transmitted from a satellite as is well known, and the control system 200 It may include a predetermined communication unit for transmitting the status information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication unit may communicate with the control system 100 using an LTE communication network or an Internet of Things (IoT) dedicated communication network (eg, LoRa network, NB-IoT, etc.). The present invention is not limited thereto, and any information or data necessary for implementing the technical idea of the present invention may be transmitted and received through wireless communication.

In addition, the state information, the position information on the position of the GPS unit 10 and / or the information on the communication connection state between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite (for example, communication connection or communication disconnection (disconnected)) Information). According to an embodiment, the status information may further include unique identification information for identifying the GPS unit 10.

The GPS unit 10 may transmit the state information at predetermined time intervals, and according to an embodiment, when a state changes (for example, the satellite and the communication connection state are changed (disconnected or disconnected during connection). If connected again), the status information may be transmitted.

On the other hand, when the GPS unit 10 uses a GPS module that is generally known as described above, the error may occur from several tens of centimeters to many tens of meters. Therefore, in the case of a parking lot in which a plurality of parking surfaces are usually divided at intervals of 2 to 3 meters, it may be difficult to distinguish each parking surface by simply GPS location information.

Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, each of the GPS unit 10 may be given unique identification information in advance, and it is easy to distinguish each parking surface by transmitting such identification information in the state information. You can do that.

According to the implementation example, the GPS unit 10 may be implemented based on a satellite based Augmentation System (SBAS), which has greatly improved precision compared to general GPS. In the case of the SBAS, compared to general GPS that receives position information directly from satellites, position information is exchanged with a plurality of satellites (GPS satellites) through reference stations and central processing stations installed on the ground, and errors are corrected. Since the information is transmitted to the receiver (user terminal, navigation, etc.) via the geostationary satellite again, the error range can be greatly reduced compared to the conventional GPS.

That is, in the present specification, the GPS unit 10 is not limited to the GPS, and various types of modules capable of grasping location information and / or time information through communication with satellites may be used.

The GPS unit 10 may be installed on a road surface provided with a parking surface. At this time, the GPS unit 10 is installed so that one surface of the GPS unit 10 is exposed to the outside without protruding from the road surface. It may be desirable.

As will be described later, in the present invention, whether or not the vehicle is parked on the parking surface is used by the GPS unit 10 and the communication connection / disconnection with the satellite, and the vehicle is parked on the parking surface so that the GPS unit 10 is completely In the case of covering, the communication connection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite may be released, so that the installation position of the GPS unit 10 may be near the center of the parking surface. In this case, when the GPS unit 10 protrudes from the bottom of the parking surface, it may be caught on the wheel of the vehicle or the user's foot. Accordingly, the GPS unit 10 may damage the GPS unit 10 itself as well as the inconvenience of the user. It may be important to prevent the GPS unit 10 from protruding when installing 10.

In addition, one surface of the GPS unit 10 exposed to the outside may be stepped on the wheel of the vehicle or the user's foot on the parking surface, it may be preferable to be implemented with a tough material so as not to be damaged by such an external impact.

The control system 100 may receive the state information transmitted from the GPS unit 10, and determine whether the parking surface corresponding to the GPS unit 10 can be parked based on the received state information. have. The generated parking information may be provided (transmitted) to the user terminal 200 and / or a predetermined management system (not shown) that manages the parking lot including the at least one parking surface or the at least one parking surface. have.

That is, the control system 100 may mean a logical combination of hardware and / or software provided to implement the technical idea of the present invention, and if necessary, are installed in devices spaced apart from each other to perform respective functions. As a result, it may be implemented as a set of logical configurations for implementing the technical idea of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control system 100 may be implemented in the form of a terminal device capable of connecting to a predetermined server or data processing and a network. When the control system 100 is implemented as a server, the control system 100 transmits and receives predetermined data while communicating with the user terminal 200 and / or a management system (not shown) through a network. The technical spirit of the present invention may be implemented.

As described above, the management system (not shown) may mean a parking control system or a parking guidance system for managing the parking surface or the parking lot. According to an embodiment, the management system (not shown) may mean including a manager terminal of a manager who manages a parking surface or a parking lot. For example, the management system (not shown) may be implemented as a manager's mobile terminal carried by the manager.

The management system (not shown) is such that the administrator can use the parking information provided by the parking management system using the GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention so that the administrator can check the use of the parking surface and the correct use time (parking time). Alternatively, according to the technical spirit of the present invention to be described later, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the user's vehicle is parked on the parking surface. Through this, the administrator can easily perform the parking fee collection or illegal parking control according to the use of the parking surface (that is, parking of the vehicle).

According to another embodiment, a part of the control system 100 may be included in a predetermined server, and a part of the other parts may be distributedly installed in the management system (not shown). Then, the server, the control system 100 and the management system (not shown) may be organically combined to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the case where the control system 100 is implemented in the form of a server will be described mainly, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, the control system 100 may be installed in the management system (not shown) to perform operations for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. For example, the control system 100 may be implemented in the form of an application system and installed in the management system (not shown). The application system is organically coupled with software (ie, an application) installed in the management system (not shown) and hardware of the management system (not shown) to implement the technical idea of the present invention. Can be implemented.

Alternatively, the control system 100 and the management system (not shown) may be implemented as one system, and may be implemented to perform runner control or parking guidance along with providing parking information according to the technical idea of the present invention.

In addition, the user terminal 200 may be implemented as a mobile terminal, such as a smart phone, a tablet (tablet PC) that the user usually carries. Preferably, the user terminal 200 may also be implemented as a terminal such as a smart phone that can communicate with the control system 100 while being able to grasp its location information. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user terminal 200 may include a navigation system provided in a vehicle as well as the above-described mobile terminal. In this case, the navigation system also simply grasps its location information and performs route guidance to the destination set by the user, as well as implementing the technical idea of the present invention through predetermined communication with the control system 100. Can transmit and receive predetermined data.

In the present specification, the module may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware for performing the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, the module may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for performing the predetermined code, and means a physically connected code or does not necessarily mean one kind of hardware. It can be easily deduced by the average expert in the art.

As described above, the receiving module 110 may receive status information transmitted from the GPS unit 10.

In the present specification, for the convenience of description, the reception module 110 and the user terminal 200 / communication system (not shown) for communicating with the GPS unit 10 is distinguished. The receiving module 110 and the communication module 120 do not necessarily need to be other physically separated components. For example, the reception module 110 and the communication module 120 communicate with the GPS unit 10 and the user terminal 200, a management system (not shown), etc. to implement the technical idea of the present invention. It may be implemented as one component capable of transmitting and receiving necessary data.

When the state information is received by the receiving module 110, the control module 130 determines whether the parking surface p corresponding to the GPS unit 10 can be parked based on the received state information. can do. As described above, a method of determining whether the parking surface p can be parked will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 illustrates an example of determining whether parking is possible by the parking management system using GPS according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 3A, when there is no vehicle parked on the parking surface p, the GPS unit 10 may receive a signal transmitted from the satellite s. As such, when the GPS unit 10 can receive a signal from the satellite s, the GPS unit 10 may include information on the communication connection with the satellite s in the state information. . Then, the control module 130 may determine that the parking surface p is in a parking state.

When the vehicle c is parked on the parking surface p as shown in FIG. 3b, the GPS unit 10 is covered by the vehicle c, and thus cannot receive a signal transmitted from the satellite s. Can be. That is, the communication connection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite s may be released. In this case, the status information may include information that the communication connection has been released, the control module 130 is the parking surface (p) from the time when the communication connection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite (s) is released. ), It can be determined that parking is impossible.

In addition, according to the embodiment, the GPS unit 10 may be provided with a predetermined light emitting means (for example, LED) so that the user can visually check the empty parking surface. The light emitting means emits light when the GPS unit 10 maintains a communication connection with the satellite s, that is, when the parking surface is empty, so that the user can easily find an empty parking surface, and the vehicle is parked. When the communication connection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite s is released, it may be turned off.

In this case, the GPS unit 10 may be implemented to charge power by itself using solar heat or sunlight.

As described above, each GPS unit 10 includes its location information in the state information together with whether or not a communication connection with the satellite (s) is transmitted to the control system 100, so that each GPS unit 10 Based on the position information of the parking lot in the parking lot in the vehicle (c) it is possible to know whether or not.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, in the conventional parking management system, the ultrasonic sensor, which is mainly used to determine whether the vehicle is parked, may be malfunctioned while being covered by fallen leaves or small garbage. Before the vehicle c covers the parking surface p, communication with the satellite s may be continued, so that the parking management may be easily performed even on the parking surface p partitioned on the outdoor road.

In addition, unlike the conventional parking management system that can only grasp whether or not the parking of the vehicle (c) on the parking surface (p), the present invention without using a GPS to build a separate system for determining the parking time of the vehicle Identify relatively accurate parking times (parking start time and parking end time). Since GPS is able to grasp position information such as latitude, longitude, and elevation, as well as accurate time information, it is widely known that detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, as described above, even when the vehicle c is parked on the parking surface p on which the GPS unit 10 is installed according to the technical idea of the present invention, a signal transmitted from the satellite s is stored in the building. It may be reflected by surrounding vehicles, other obstacles, and / or the ground and enter the lower part of the vehicle c, and may be received by the GPS unit 10. That is, even if the vehicle c is parked on the parking surface p, at least a part of the signal transmitted from the satellite s is received by the GPS unit 10 and is transmitted to the control system 100. There is a possibility that it is determined that the vehicle c has not been parked.

This example is shown in FIG. 4.

4 is a diagram illustrating a case in which a signal reflected by a GPS unit installed on the ground is received according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

4A and 4B, there is shown a situation where the vehicle c is parked to sufficiently cover the GPS unit 10 installed on the parking surface p. In this way, even if the vehicle c is parked on the parking surface p so as to cover the GPS unit 10, the signal reflected as described above through the lower space of the vehicle c may reach the GPS unit 10. Can be.

As such, the reflected signal entering the lower portion of the vehicle c, that is, the reflected signal w, may have an angle close to parallel with the ground.

Therefore, by allowing the GPS unit 10 to receive a signal only within a predetermined angular range with respect to the vertical direction, the reflected signal entering and reflected through the lower portion of the vehicle c while the vehicle c is parked. (w) can be easily blocked from being received by the GPS unit 10. The configuration of the GPS unit 10 for this is shown in FIG.

5 is a view for explaining the adjustment of the reception angle range of the GPS unit and the GPS unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the GPS unit 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a GPS module 11 and a shielding casing 12 in which the GPS module 11 is accommodated.

According to one embodiment, the shielding casing 12 is formed by at least a portion of the upper surface is curved in a dome shape, so that when installed on the ground can be smoothly passed even if stepped on the wheel of the vehicle (c) or the user's foot Can be. In the drawings, the shape of the shielding casing 12 is shown as if the upper surface is formed in a curved dome shape as described above, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, the shape of the shielding casing 12 will be described later If the technical idea of the present invention can be implemented, it may be possible to be formed in various shapes as needed.

In addition, the shield casing 12 may be open at an upper portion thereof, and a groove may be formed to a predetermined depth. The GPS module 11 may be accommodated in the formed groove. The groove may be formed in the center of the upper surface of the shield casing 12, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

The material of the shielding casing 12 may be formed of a material resistant to external shock as described above, and particularly, at least the inside of the groove may be formed of a material capable of shielding various signals (radio waves).

Since the GPS module 11 is accommodated in a groove formed in the shielding casing 12, a reception angle range through which the GPS module 11 can receive a signal may be limited within a predetermined range.

Meanwhile, as described above, when the signal reflected through the lower space of the vehicle c is received by the GPS unit 10, the lower the height of the vehicle c is, the easier it may occur.

For example, compared to a general passenger car as shown in the drawing, in the case of a vehicle having a relatively high height under the vehicle such as a truck or a bus, even if the vehicle (c) is parked on the parking surface (p), there is an error in determining whether to park. The probability of occurrence can be relatively high.

As described above, due to the type of vehicle c or other various factors, it may be convenient to allow the GPS unit 10, that is, the GPS module 11 to set (adjust) a reception angle range for receiving a signal. Can be.

According to the technical concept of the present invention, the position of the GPS module 11 accommodated in the groove of the shielding casing 12 is moved in the depth direction of the groove inside the groove, thereby easily receiving angle range of the GPS module 11 Can be adjusted. That is, the GPS module 11 may be fixed by moving its position in the depth direction of the groove inside the groove.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the GPS module 11 is positioned to receive a predetermined depth or more in a groove formed in the shield casing 12, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the shielding is relatively performed. When the GPS module 11 is located close to the upper surface of the casing 12, a difference may occur in the reception angle range a or b, respectively.

For example, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5B, the reception angle range of the GPS module 11 may be set to be perpendicular to or perpendicular to a vertical direction for a general passenger car. In this case, the GPS module 11 may be positioned to be relatively close to the upper surface of the shielding casing 12 in the groove formed in the shielding casing 12. If it is necessary to narrow the reception angle range of the GPS module 11 to a truck or a bus with a lower height of the parked vehicle, the position of the GPS module 11 as shown in Figure 5a By placing the deeper into the groove formed in the shielding casing 12, the receiving angle range may be set to be within 60 degrees around the vertical direction.

The reception angle range of the GPS module 11 may be set in various ways as necessary, and the present invention is not limited by the angle or other numerical values constituting the reception angle range.

The position of the GPS module 11 in the home may be set directly by the user as needed, or provided with a separate driving unit (not shown) according to the embodiment to adjust the position of the GPS module 11. It may be formed so as to.

According to another embodiment, the reception angle range of the GPS module 11 may be adjusted in a state where the position in the home of the GPS module 11 is not moved. This example is shown in FIG. 6.

6 is a view illustrating a GPS angle and a reception angle range adjustment of the GPS unit according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the GPS unit 10 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the position of the GPS module 11 may be fixed in a groove formed in the shielding casing 12.

In addition, the receiving angle range of the GPS module 11 may be adjusted by changing the angle of the groove formed in the shielding casing 12, that is, the angle formed by the inner wall 1 of the groove.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a part of the shielding casing 12 constituting the groove is moved in a fixed state of the lower end of the groove, so that the angle of the groove may be adjusted.

When the angle of the groove is adjusted in this way, even if the position of the GPS module 11 is fixed, it is possible to adjust the reception angle range (a or b) as shown in the figure.

The angle of the groove may also be manually adjusted by a user, or may be implemented to control the angle of the groove by a predetermined driving unit (not shown).

Meanwhile, as described above, when the control module 130 determines whether the parking surface p can be parked through the state information transmitted from the GPS unit 10, the control module 130 parks using the parking module p. The communication module 120 may be controlled to transmit information to the user terminal 200 and / or the management system (not shown).

The parking information, as well as information on the location of the parking surface (p) or whether the vehicle is parked on each parking surface (p), as well as an empty parking surface that can be parked in a parking lot including a plurality of parking surfaces (p) ( It may include information on the number of p).

An implementation example of such parking information will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 8.

7 and 8 illustrate an embodiment of the parking information provided by the parking management system using GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 7, the parking information may be provided in a manner of displaying the total number of parking surfaces in the parking lot and the number of available parking surfaces. According to an embodiment, as shown in the figure, the parking information may be displayed on the user terminal 200 together with the location of the parking lot. Although the location of one parking lot is displayed in the drawing, even when there are a plurality of parking lots nearby, the user's convenience may be improved by providing the number of parking surfaces currently available for each parking lot together with the location of each parking lot.

In this case, the user may further guide the route from the user's current location to the parking lot, thereby further improving the user's convenience.

According to another embodiment, the parking information displays the parking surfaces of the corresponding parking lot as an image as shown in FIG. 5, and the currently available parking surface (empty parking surface without a vehicle) and the non-parking parking surface (vehicle) The parking surface that is parked) may be displayed on the user terminal 200 in the form of display.

According to the exemplary embodiment, first, the location of the parking lot and the number of available parking surfaces are displayed on a map as described with reference to FIG. 7, and when the user selects a specific parking lot, the parking surface of the corresponding parking lot is displayed in detail as shown in FIG. 8. The parking information may be provided.

Such parking information may be reflected in real time according to the status information transmitted from the GPS unit 10.

In any case, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the user can know in advance the location of the parking lot and whether there is a parking space available in the parking lot before the user visits the parking lot in advance, so that the user can search for the parking space or the parking lot without unnecessary time. Or wasting effort.

On the other hand, as described above, when the parking information includes a location of a parking lot including a plurality of parking surfaces p, each of the plurality of parking surfaces p due to an error inevitably occurring due to the characteristics of the GPS unit 10. It may be difficult to distinguish each location information accurately. In addition, displaying all the location information of each of the plurality of GPS units 10 in order to display the location information of the parking lot may be unnecessary excess information.

Therefore, according to the technical concept of the present invention, the control system 100 groups the GPS units 10 corresponding to each of the plurality of parking surfaces p, and group location information of the parking lot. Can be specified as This will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

9 is a view for explaining grouping using identification information assigned to each GPS unit in a parking management system using GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, a plurality of parking surfaces partitioned in a parking lot may be provided with a plurality of GPS units 10 as described above. The GPS units 10 may be given unique identification information (eg, # 1 to # 21).

In this case, the control module 130 may group the plurality of GPS units 10 using identification information (eg, # 1 to # 21) of the plurality of GPS units 10. According to an example, the control module 130 may group the entirety of the plurality of GPS units 10 into one group, but may divide the plurality of GPS units 10 into two or more groups and group the same. It may be.

When the plurality of GPS units 10 are grouped as described above, the control module 130 specifies the location information of the corresponding group, that is, the location information of any one of the GPS units 10 belonging to the group, as the location information of the parking lot. The communication module 120 may be controlled to transmit the location information of the specified parking lot to the user terminal 200 as parking information.

Meanwhile, as described above, the parking information may be provided not only to the user terminal 200 but also to the management system (not shown). When the parking information is transmitted to the management system (not shown), whether parking is possible and / or the number of empty parking surfaces of each parking surface p is provided through a parking guidance system or a parking guide system provided in the parking lot. It may be provided to a user who visited the parking lot.

For example, a predetermined display device provided in the parking lot so that the parking information is reflected in the general parking induction system provided at the entrance of the parking lot and / or the interior passage of the parking lot so that a user who enters the parking lot can easily find the empty parking surface. Through can display the number of parking available parking surface in the parking lot, or guide the user in the direction of the empty parking surface.

As described above, a general parking induction system using an ultrasonic sensor is mainly used in an indoor parking lot, and an outdoor parking lot is difficult to use due to a risk of damage and a malfunction. Therefore, in the case of a user using an outdoor parking lot, there was an inconvenience in roaming the parking lot in search of an empty parking surface.

However, according to the technical concept of the present invention, it is possible to easily find a parking available parking surface (that is, an empty parking surface) by using the parking information provided by the control system 100 in the outdoor parking lot.

According to an embodiment, a user may drive the vehicle c by inputting a desired destination using a navigation system installed in the vehicle c. Then, when the vehicle c of the user approaches within a predetermined range from the destination, the above-described parking information may be provided to the user terminal and / or the navigation system.

In this case, when the user's vehicle (c) enters the parking lot or enters a certain distance from the parking lot, parking information (ie, empty parking surface location, etc.) for each of the parking surfaces inside the parking lot may be provided.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, not only the location of the pre-stored parking lot is provided to the user, but also when the user reaches the destination, the parking information near the destination can be provided to provide the necessary information at the time required by the user. Can be.

On the other hand, in particular, the present invention, which can easily determine whether the parking surface is used outdoors, that is, whether parking is possible, is a large-scale outdoor parking lot, as well as a parking surface permitted only for a predetermined user in an alley etc. ) Can also be used to easily determine whether the illegal parking of unauthorized users.

For example, an authorized user may use a parking surface designated for use only by a designated (or pre-authorized) user in a parking lot, a resident-priority parking area available only to authorized users in an alley, or a road parking surface that can park along the road. While the vehicle is not parked, another unauthorized user may park or may park without paying the parking fee.

In this case, the authorized user may not be able to park his / her vehicle until the owner of the illegally parked vehicle returns to move the vehicle or tow the illegally parked vehicle by an administrator or a crackdown agent. .

Also, from the manager's point of view, if there is no separate illegal parking control system installed, it is difficult to know the exact time when the illegally parked car was parked, and it may be difficult to collect the parking fee even later. This can happen if you don't know what is being parked. This problem may be particularly serious in a roadside parking lot or a resident-first parking area provided in a roadside or an alley, rather than a parking lot equipped with a system for recognizing a vehicle from an entrance.

However, it is true that there is a real difficulty to crack down on illegal parking of unauthorized users.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, as described above, it is possible to determine whether the parking surface p is used using the GPS unit 10, and in particular, it is easy to manage the parking surface p outdoors or on the road. have. In other words, even when the vehicle is parked outdoors or on the road, the manager can grasp it at the time when the vehicle is parked on the parking surface (p).

On the other hand, the present invention can easily determine whether the authorized user is parked, or whether the unauthorized user is illegally parked with respect to the parking surface p, which is permitted only for a specific user.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present invention provides location information of a user terminal 200 of a user who is permitted to use a specific parking surface p, and location information of the GPS unit 10 provided at the specific parking surface p. The vehicle parked on the specific parking surface p may be used to determine whether the vehicle is an authorized user's vehicle.

For example, when a vehicle is parked on the specific parking surface p and the GPS unit 10 is disconnected from the satellite s and the parking surface p is determined to be in use, the specific parking surface p is determined. It is necessary to know whether the vehicle parked at is the vehicle of the authorized user.

To this end, the control module 130, as described above, if there is a change in the state information of the GPS unit 10 corresponding to the parking surface p (for example, when the use of the parking surface p is started, namely , When the communication connection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite s is released), the parking information may be transmitted to the management system (not shown), so that the administrator can check.

In this case, the parking information transmitted to the management system (not shown) includes information indicating that parking has started on the parking surface p, and whether the parking is normal parking by an authorized user or illegal parking by an unauthorized user. It may be desirable to include information about.

If the authorized user parked the vehicle on the specific parking surface p, the location information of the GPS unit 10 corresponding to the specific parking surface p and the user terminal 200 of the authorized user The positional information may coincide within the predetermined range even in consideration of the error range. That is, when it is determined that the vehicle is parked on the specific parking surface p and the time when the location information coincides within a predetermined range is equal, the authorized user parked normally on the specific parking surface p. You can judge. To this end, the control system 100 may be previously registered (stored) information of the user terminal 200 of the authorized user for each parking surface (p).

In some embodiments, when it is determined that normal parking by the authorized user is performed, the parking information may not be transmitted to the management system (not shown).

However, in order to determine the exact parking start time, it is advantageous for the manager to manage the parking information so that the parking information is transmitted to the management system (not shown) when the vehicle starts parking on the parking surface p. As a result, when it is determined that the parking is normal, parking information may be selectively transmitted to the management system (not shown) as needed.

If an unauthorized user illegally parks on the specific parking surface p, the position of the authorized user's user terminal 200 at the time when the vehicle is parked on the specific parking surface p is the GPS unit. It does not coincide with the position of (10).

In this case, the control module 130 may determine that illegal parking is made on the specific parking surface p, and transmit parking information to the management system (not shown).

Therefore, at the time when the vehicle is parked on the specific parking surface (p), the manager or the enforcement personnel can go to the location of the parking surface (p) to perform the control immediately, so that the efficiency of the control as well as the authorized user It can have an effect that can be improved.

In addition, by using the characteristics of the GPS to grasp relatively accurate time information as described above, it is possible to know the exact usage time of the user using the parking surface, so that the parking fee can be accurately collected.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the management system (not shown) is implemented as a manager terminal carried by a manager, or when the manager terminal is included in the management system (not shown), the manager may specify the specific information through the manager terminal. The vehicle parked on the parking surface p may be photographed and stored. In this case, a predetermined application system for implementing the technical idea of the present invention may be installed in the manager terminal in advance. The application system extracts the number of the vehicle from the image photographed by the administrator, and specifies the time at which the parking is started or the time at which the shooting is performed according to the parking information transmitted by the control system 100 as the parking start time. Can be. As such, whether or not the correct parking lot can be used can be checked through the vehicle number extracted by the application system installed in the manager terminal and the time information obtained from the parking information. It can be used as a basis for parking fee collection.

In addition, in order to determine whether the normal parking using the location information of the user terminal 200, the user terminal 200 in advance to transmit the location information of the user terminal 200 to the control system 100 in advance Certain application systems may be installed.

According to an implementation example, the control system 100, as described above, when the location information of the user terminal 200 and the location information of the GPS unit 10 is matched within a predetermined range, that is, by the authorized user When it is determined that the parking is started, the predetermined payment interface may be displayed on the authorized user's user terminal 200 inquiring whether the parking fee is paid. In this case, the user may pay the parking fee in advance through his user terminal 200 at the time when the vehicle is parked on the parking surface p.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the control system 100 is not at the time when the parking is judged to be started by the authorized user, but at the time when the parking of the authorized user is determined that the payment interface is the user terminal ( 200) may be displayed.

For example, the control system 100 determines whether to start parking as described above through the location information of the user terminal 200 of the authorized user and the location information of the GPS unit 10 installed on the parking surface, and the predetermined time is determined. After this time, when the location information of the user terminal 200 is out of a predetermined range from the location information of the GPS unit 10, that is, when the parking is terminated and it is determined that the user's vehicle has started moving, the user terminal The payment interface may be displayed through 200.

According to another embodiment, the control system 100 does not determine (or before determining) an authorized user when the vehicle is parked on the parking surface p as described above, and the parking surface ( At a time when it is determined that the vehicle is parked at p), that is, when the location information of the GPS unit 10 installed on the parking surface p and the location information of the predetermined user terminal 200 coincide within a predetermined range, The payment interface may be displayed on the user terminal 200. Of course, in this case, a predetermined application system for implementing the technical idea of the present invention may be installed in the user terminal 200 in advance. Alternatively, the user terminal 200 may also be registered in advance for use of the parking management system using GPS according to the technical idea of the present invention.

As such, when the control system 100 is configured to display the payment interface to the user terminal 200 at the time when it is determined that the vehicle is parked on the parking surface p or when the parking of the vehicle is determined to be terminated, Even if the user does not perform a separate act for the parking fee payment, the parking fee of the vehicle can be conveniently paid at the time of the vehicle.

On the other hand, when a user visits a predetermined destination and parks the vehicle, there may be a place where a lot of the floating population or the resident population is relatively lacked in the parking space (parking surface p) depending on the destination. In addition, there may be a place having a space in the parking space relatively near the destination.

In general, other parking spaces other than the destination that the user visits often have different owners or managers, so the user does not have an empty parking surface (p) at his / her destination and finds a parking space but is divided into other buildings near the destination. It often happens that parking is not easy.

If the different parking lots located adjacent to each other use the parking management system service according to the technical idea of the present invention, the present invention is that if the user does not have an empty parking surface (p) in the parking lot belonging to the destination originally intended to visit the destination If not, the parking of the user may be directed to another parking surface p located near the destination.

In this case, the user can easily find an empty parking space (parking surface (p)) around the destination, thereby reducing the trouble of finding and roaming the empty parking space. The utilization of the parking space can be increased, which can have an effect of increasing the income from the collection of parking fees.

For example, as the user departs to a destination, the user may input a destination through the navigation system of the vehicle and receive a route guidance.

As described above, since the parking management system using the GPS can acquire parking information in real time using the GPS unit 10, the parking management system using the GPS is provided at the destination when the user starts toward the destination or when the user arrives near the destination. It is easy to know whether there is an empty parking surface p available for parking among the parking surfaces p.

If there is no empty parking surface p at the destination where the user wants to go, the parking management system using the GPS may guide the user to another empty parking surface p located within a predetermined range near the destination with respect to the destination. .

For example, if a user operates a vehicle by designating a building A as a destination and there is no empty parking surface p in the building A, the parking management system using the GPS is a parking lot provided in the building B located next to the building A. Can be derived.

At this time, when the parking management system using the GPS guides the user to a nearby parking lot (for example, a parking lot provided in the B building) instead of a destination (for example, A building), the user's intention is passed through the user terminal 200. It may be confirmed or may be automatically guided to the empty parking surface p depending on the embodiment.

As described above, according to the technical concept of the present invention, since each GPS surface 10 is provided with a GPS unit 10, it is determined whether or not the empty parking surface p according to the parking information and the empty parking surface p. It may be easy to attract users.

As such, when the user parks the vehicle in a nearby parking lot other than his or her destination, the user may have a hassle to park the vehicle and move back to his / her destination.

Thus, when the user parks the vehicle in another parking lot near the destination, the user can actively induce the user's participation by providing a benefit such as a discounted parking fee.

According to an example, when there is no empty parking surface p in a parking lot provided at a destination to which the user wants to go, the parking management system using the GPS may store a vehicle in another parking lot having an empty parking surface p near the user. You can be asked whether you want to park. This confirmation may be made simply by providing a predetermined confirmation interface through the user terminal 200. Of course, according to the embodiment, if the user has received prior consent, it may be to automatically guide the route to another parking lot near the destination where the empty parking surface p exists.

At this time, the parking management system using the GPS, if the user parks the vehicle on the other parking surface (p) near the destination that was originally hidden, the parking fee of the original destination parking lot and / or the other parking surface that the user is currently parking ( The parking fee may be charged at a discount compared to the parking fee in p).

For example, a parking fee may be applied based on a distance based on a destination designated by a user. That is, as the distance from the destination increases, the discount rate of the parking fee may increase. Alternatively, the discount rate of the parking fee may be changed for each predetermined section around the destination.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user parks a vehicle at a place other than the destination, a discounted parking fee may be charged at once.

In any case, the GPS-based parking management system directs the user to a parking space available for parking near the destination or the destination, so that the user does not have to find and roam the empty parking area. When parking in a different parking lot away from the predetermined distance, the parking fee can be discounted, thereby greatly increasing the user's convenience.

In addition, according to the present invention, the management agent for managing the parking surface (p) can also distribute the congestion of the parking lot on the crowded side without the empty parking surface (p), and other management around the space where the empty parking surfaces (p) exist. The subject can collect a low fee without having to make fun of the parking lot, which can have a beneficial effect that can help improve profits.

According to another embodiment, the management authority for managing the parking surfaces (p) through the parking management system using the GPS is a discounted parking fee for the pre-registered users, or some users of the pre-registered users Applicable

For example, in the parking management system using the GPS, as described above, whether the vehicle is parked on the parking surface p through the location information of the GPS unit 10 installed on the user terminal 200 and the parking surface p. You can tell whether or not.

At this time, if the user corresponding to the user terminal 200 is a user registered in advance, or a user designated to apply the parking fee discount, as described above, when the payment after the parking proceeds a discounted amount by a predetermined amount or a predetermined rate By allowing the fee to be paid, it is possible to induce registration of the parking management system using the GPS of the general user.

The parking rate discount can be applied in various ways.

According to an embodiment, as described above, a parking fee discount may be performed for users registered in advance in the parking management system using the GPS.

According to another embodiment, the parking fee may be discounted to users who satisfy certain conditions.

As an example of the specific condition, there may be a building in which there is less vehicle parked compared to the number of parking surfaces p normally provided in one building, so that there is a space in the parking space relatively relative to other places. In the building A, there may be fewer occupants than expected or fewer occupants of the vehicle.

At this time, the management authority for managing the parking surface (p) of the building A induces parking by granting a benefit such as a parking fee discount to the visiting vehicles visiting the other buildings as described above, and thus the parking surface ( You can save the operating costs for p).

However, in such a case, it may be difficult for residents to always use the A building or to occupy the A building. If the occupants of the building A do not have a big problem with vehicle parking, it may be inconvenient to use a parking lot that is relatively complicated as parking of other vehicles increases.

Therefore, in the case of the tenants of the building A as described above, it is possible to receive a discount on the parking fee when you visit another place to park the vehicle. In this case, the specific condition may be a tenant of the building A. In other words, the tenants of the building A may share a parking surface p with other users. That is, the specific condition may be sharing the parking surface p to which the parking management system using the GPS is applied with other users. Of course, in this case, the other place may be provided with a parking management system using a GPS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, by applying benefits such as parking fee discounts to users who use the parking management system using GPS according to the technical idea of the present invention in various ways, the parking of the vehicles can be induced to be distributed relatively evenly, and the parking surface (p The parking fee is also discounted from the point of view of the managing entity, but it may have the effect of inducing parking of more vehicles.

On the other hand, the position information of the GPS unit 10 and the user terminal 200 may be used as described above to determine whether the parking surface p is illegal parking. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal ( It may be determined whether the user is an authorized user by receiving predetermined input information through the application system pre-installed in 200.

For example, if it is determined through the state information of the GPS unit 10 that the parking is started on a specific parking surface p, the control system 100 corresponds to a user corresponding to the specific parking surface p (that is, The user may request to input predetermined input information through the user terminal 200 of an authorized user. The input information may be embodied in the form of a password, for example, which password may have been previously issued when the user pays a fee for the use of the particular parking surface p.

According to one embodiment, the application system installed in the user terminal 200, the location information of the user terminal 200 is within the predetermined range and the location information with the GPS unit 10 corresponding to a specific parking surface (p) In case of matching, a predetermined input interface for receiving the input information may be displayed on the user terminal 200.

As described above, when parking is started on the specific parking surface p, parking information may be transmitted to the management system (not shown). In the management system (not shown), the parking information may be transmitted within a predetermined time from the time when parking is started. When the input information is not input, the administrator may be notified by outputting predetermined notification information.

If the input information is not input within a predetermined time, it may be illegal parking by an unauthorized user, but the input may be delayed due to poor user manipulation.

Therefore, if the input information is not input within a predetermined time after the vehicle is parked on the specific parking surface p, the manager moves directly to the specific parking surface p when the notification information is provided and directly checks whether the parking is illegal. Or provide help to the user.

The notification information provided through the management system (not shown) may be implemented in various well-known ways. For example, the notification information may be implemented in any manner as long as the administrator can recognize the sound, message, or vibration through the management system (not shown).

Such a scheme may be used in a general parking lot as well as a specific designated parking surface p. For example, after issuing input information to be input to a user who normally enters a parking lot, the user may request input of the input information no matter what parking surface the user is parking in. The input information issued to the user may be issued like a conventional parking ticket, or issued through the user terminal 200 when the location of the user terminal 200 enters a parking lot (eg, installed in the user terminal 200). Application system, text message, push message, etc.).

According to the embodiment, before the user departs to the destination, the user checks the parking information provided according to the above-described technical spirit of the present invention in the parking lot near the destination, and identifies the specific parking surface p in the specific parking lot or the road surface. It is also possible to obtain permission in advance in the same manner as described above for the parking surface p.

For example, before the user departs to the destination, the user reserves a parking surface p to park his vehicle c near the destination in advance, and then operates the vehicle c to the previously reserved parking surface p. The vehicle c may be parked.

In this case, the user selects a specific parking surface p in advance through his user terminal 200 and inputs predetermined input information required by the management system (not shown) to use the specific parking surface p. You can also reserve in advance.

In this case, the parking fee may be paid in advance by designating a time for parking in advance with the input of the input information. Of course, when the use of the reserved parking surface (p) is finished, the parking fee may be settled when leaving the parking surface (p). However, if the reservation is made only when the parking plane (p) is reserved and the actual parking is not performed, other users may not be able to use the parking plane (p). It may be implemented to be.

As such, since the technical idea of mobile payment or online payment through the user terminal 200 is widely known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, as described above, whether or not the input information is input through the user terminal 200 may be used to determine whether or not the parking surface p is illegally parked. While inputting through the input interface may cause inconvenience.

Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the parking management system using the GPS may further include a recognition unit (not shown) corresponding to each of the at least one parking surface p. It may be desirable that the recognition unit is provided within a predetermined range from the corresponding parking surface p so that the parked user can easily see when getting off the vehicle.

According to an embodiment, the recognition unit (not shown) may be implemented in the form of a QR code, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

In this case, the user may park his vehicle on a specific parking surface p, and then recognize (scan) the recognition unit (not shown) using his user terminal 200. Then, predetermined information may be transmitted to the control system 100 and / or the management system (not shown) by the application system installed in the user terminal 200.

The information transmitted by the recognition of the recognition unit (not shown) may include, for example, personal information or vehicle information of a user who parked the vehicle, and / or entry / exit time of the vehicle.

After the control module 130 determines that the parking is started on the specific parking surface p, the control unit 130 of the recognition unit (not shown) by the user terminal 200 and / or the application system within a predetermined time. If the recognition is not performed, it may be determined as illegal parking and the notification information may be transmitted to the management system (not shown).

As such, when the recognition unit (not shown) is provided, the user may recognize the recognition unit (not shown) using his or her user terminal 200 not only when the vehicle is parked but also when the vehicle leaves the vehicle.

In this case, the time when the user terminal 200 first recognizes the recognition unit (not shown) may be a parking start time, and then a second recognized time may be a parking end time. Fees may be collected.

As such, when the parking fee is collected using the recognition unit (not shown), the user pays the fee directly to the administrator, as well as an application system installed in the user terminal 200 that recognizes the recognition unit (not shown). Through the mobile and / or online payment can be performed through it can have the effect that the convenience of the user as well as the administrator can be further improved.

After all, according to the technical idea of the present invention, it is possible to easily determine whether the parking of the vehicle on the parking surface by the communication connection or disconnection between the GPS unit 10 and the satellite (s), and relatively accurate time information and location information It can be easily grasped to provide the parking information to the user conveniently in the outdoor parking lot or roadside parking surface, it can have the effect of more accurate parking fee collection or unauthorized parking enforcement can be facilitated.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
