The method for providing a valet service according to an embodiment of the present invention may be performed by the valet service providing system.

1 is a diagram illustrating a valet service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The valet service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a server 100, a user terminal 110 of a user who has subscribed to a valet service providing system, an article terminal 120 of a first valet engineer 121, and a valet service. The parking terminal 130 of the parking management system 131 subscribed to the system, and the driver terminal 140 of the second valet driver 141 may be configured.

The valet service according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a valet parking service that receives a user's vehicle from a user and parks it in a parking lot, and a valet leaving service that delivers the vehicle parked in the parking lot to the user.

In this case, the first valet driver 121 is a driver who provides a valet parking service, and the second valet driver 141 is a driver who provides a valet leaving service, and the first valet driver 121 and the second valet driver are provided. 141 may be the same driver or may be different drivers. For example, a driver A may provide both valet parking and valet parking to the user, a driver A may provide valet parking to the user, and a driver B may provide valet parking to the user. You can also provide

The server 100 may receive a location and a time for receiving the valet parking service from the user terminal 110. In addition, the server 100 may determine a parking lot in which the user's vehicle is parked based on the location and time of receiving the valet parking service received from the user terminal 110.

In this case, the server 100 may search for a parking lot that can be parked among the parking lots that are located within a predetermined distance from a location where the valet parking service is to be provided. If the parking lot that can be parked is not found, the server 100 may re-search the parking lot that can be parked while sequentially increasing a predetermined distance until the parking lot that can be parked is found. When a parking lot that can be parked is found, the server 100 may determine the found parking lot as a parking lot to park the user's vehicle.

For example, the server 100 may have a certain distance from the location where the valet parking service will be provided to the parking management system 131 that manages at least one of the rental parking 134, the parking building 133, and the general parking lot 132. You can request the location of the parking lot among the parking lots located inside. When the plurality of parking lots are received from the parking management system 131, the server 100 may calculate a path from the location to which the valet parking service is provided to the received parking lots. The server 100 may determine a parking lot for parking the user's vehicle according to the calculated route.

For example, parking lot A has a distance of 400m from the location where the valet parking service will be provided, but in order to move to the parking lot A from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided, it is required to move forward 300m and then turn back to 300m to move to the parking lot A. You can enter the road. On the other hand, the parking lot B is 800m away from the location where the valet parking service will be provided, but may enter the road that moves directly to the parking lot B from the location where the valet parking service will be provided.

At this time, since the path from the location where the valet parking service will be provided to the parking lot A is 1000 m, and the path from the location where the valet parking service will be provided to the parking lot B is 800 m, the server 100 is in contact with the location where the valet parking service will be provided. Although the distance is farther than the parking lot A, the parking lot B, which has a short moving path, may determine a parking lot for parking the user's vehicle.

In addition, the server 100 may set a priority in consideration of the type of the parking lot, and determine the parking lot in which the user's vehicle is parked according to the priority.

For example, the mechanical parking lot has a large number of vehicles that can park compared to the space, but the waiting time for parking and the time required for the parked vehicle to move to the exit of the vehicle elevator in the process of leaving the vehicle occur.

Therefore, assuming that the user's vehicle is parked in one of the general parking lot 132 and the mechanical parking lot located at the same distance from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided, parking the user's vehicle in the general parking lot 132 requires a parking time. Since, and the time required for leaving the vehicle can be shortened, the server 100 may set the mechanical parking lot to have a higher priority than the general parking lot 132.

In addition, since the parking building 133 composed of a multi-layered parking lot takes time to climb a floor by a vehicle, the time required for parking may be shorter than that of a mechanical parking lot, depending on the number of floors that can be parked. The time, and the take-out time, can be increased. Therefore, the server 100 may set the parking building 133 to have a higher priority than the general parking lot 132.

In addition, the server 100 prioritizes the parking building 133 and the mechanical parking lot in consideration of how many floors the parking space is located in the parking building 133 and the average time taken for parking and leaving the vehicle in each mechanical parking lot. Can be set. In detail, the server 100 may set a lower priority of the parking building 133 as the difference between the floor where the parking location is located in the parking building 133 and the floor where the entrance is located increases. In addition, as the number of vehicles that can park in the mechanical parking lot increases, the average time required for parking and leaving the vehicle also increases, so that the server 100 decreases the priority of the mechanical parking lot in inverse proportion to the number of vehicles that can park in the mechanical parking lot. You can.

The rental parking 134 is a method of renting a parking lot so that a user can park at a time when the owner of the private parking lot does not use his parking lot. At this time, the owner may subscribe to the valet parking service and register the time when the private parking lot can be leased to the server 100.

In addition, the server 100 compares the time when the valet parking service is provided with the time when the private parking can be rented, and searches for a rental parking 134 that can be rented within a predetermined distance from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided. can do.

That is, the server 100 may set priorities in order of the rental parking 134, the general parking lot 132, the parking building 133, and the mechanical parking lot. However, the priority set by the server 100 may be changed according to the embodiment, the state of each parking lot, and the distance.

In addition, when there is a parking management system 131 subscribed to the valet service, the server 100 may request a location of a parking lot that can be parked from the parking management system 131 subscribed to the valet service. On the other hand, if there is no parking management system 131 subscribed to the valet service, the server 100 is rented parking 134, parking building 133, and general car park 132 located within a certain distance from the location to receive the valet service Each parking lot terminal 130 may request whether there is a parking space available.

In addition, the server 100 may extract a parking lot whose parking cost is less than or equal to the parking fee included in the valet service fee among the parking lots located within a predetermined distance from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided, and may search for a parking lot available from the extracted parking lots.

In addition, the server 100 may further receive a destination of the user from the user terminal 110. In addition, the server 100 may check whether there is a parking lot provided by the user's destination. If there is a parking lot provided by the user's destination, the server 100 may determine the parking lot provided by the user's destination as the parking lot to park the user's vehicle. On the other hand, if there is no parking lot provided by the user's destination, the server 100 may search the parking lot available from the parking lot located within a certain distance from the position to receive the valet parking service.

The server 100 may determine the first valet driver 121 to provide the valet parking service to the user in consideration of the location and time of the valet parking service and the location of the valet driver.

In this case, the server 100 may predict the positions of the valet drivers for each hour based on the schedule of the valet parking service and the valet leaving service. In this case, the schedule of the valet parking service may include a time when the valet technicians who performed the valet parking service parked the user's vehicle in the parking lot and the location of the parking lot where the user's vehicle was parked. In addition, the schedule of the valet discharging service may include a time when the valet technicians who performed the valet discharging service delivered the user's vehicle to the user, and a location where the user's vehicle was delivered.

In detail, the server 100 may search for valet articles waiting for the valet articles without providing the valet parking service and the valet discharge service.

At this time, the server 100 has not registered the first valet driver 121 or the second valet driver after the time of parking the user's vehicle in the parking lot or the time of delivering the user's vehicle to the user is registered. It is possible to search for valet articles not determined by 141) by waiting valet articles.

Next, the server 100 may check whether the valet service last performed by the waiting valet driver is a valet parking service or a valet leaving service. When the valet service last performed by the waiting valet driver is a valet parking service, the server 100 may search for the location of the parking lot where the valet driver parked the user's vehicle. The server 100 may determine that the server 100 is located within a predetermined distance from the location of the parking lot searched by the valet driver. If the last valet service performed by the waiting valet driver is a valet leaving service, the server 100 may search for a location where the valet driver delivers the user's vehicle. In addition, the server 100 may determine that the valet driver is located within a predetermined distance from the location where the user's vehicle is delivered.

In this case, as the difference between the current time and the time when the user's vehicle is parked in the parking lot or the time when the user's vehicle is delivered to the user is greater, the probability that the valet driver moves to another place may increase. Therefore, the server 100 checks the difference between the current time and the time when the user parked the vehicle in the parking lot, or the time when the user delivered the vehicle to the user, and the larger the identified difference is, the current location of the valet driver and the corresponding valet driver It can be determined that the difference between the location of the parking lot where the vehicle is parked, or the location of the user's vehicle delivery.

For example, if the current time is 1:00 and the time when the user parked the vehicle in the parking lot is 12:30, the server 100 may predict that the location of the valet driver is located within 500m of the parking lot. On the other hand, when the current time is 1 o'clock and the time when the user's vehicle is parked in the parking lot is 11:30, the server 100 may predict the location of the valet driver within 2000m of the parking lot. In addition, when the current time is 1 o'clock and the time when the user's vehicle is parked in the parking lot is 12:55, the server 100 may predict that the location of the valet driver is located within 100 m of the parking lot.

In addition, the server 100 may determine, as the first valet driver 121, the valet driver who is expected to be located within a predetermined distance from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided, based on the time when the valet parking service is to be provided. In this case, when there are a plurality of valet articles predicted to be located within a certain distance, the server 100 determines the first valet article 121 as the valet article predicted to be located closest to the position where the valet parking service is to be provided. Can be.

In addition, the server 100 may transmit the parking lot guide information and the location and time to receive the valet parking service related to the parking lot determined to the driver terminal 120 of the first valet driver 121. For example, the parking lot guide information may include a location of the determined parking lot and a path from the location where the valet parking service is to be provided to the parking lot. In this case, the driver terminal 120 may provide the parking lot guide information received from the server 100 and the location and time of receiving the valet parking service to the first valet driver 121 by text or voice.

The first valet driver 121 who receives the user's vehicle from the user at the location and time of receiving the valet parking service according to the guidance of the driver terminal 120 parks the user's vehicle in the parking lot and returns the key of the user's vehicle to the parking lot. Can be stored in the key locker.

In this case, when the key of the user's vehicle is stored by the first valet driver 121, the key locker of the parking lot may lock the lock and transmit the storage information to the driver terminal 120 of the first valet driver 121. have. In addition, the article terminal 120 may transmit the archive information to the server 100. In this case, the archive information may be set to be deleted from the article terminal 120 when the first valet article 121 is transmitted to the server 100 to prevent the user from arbitrarily withdrawing the key of the user's vehicle.

In addition, when the user's vehicle driven by the first valet driver 121 enters the parking lot 132, the parking lot terminal 130 managing the parking fee of the parking lot 132 may charge the parking fee to the driver terminal 120. Can be. In this case, the article terminal 120 may request the parking fee charged from the parking lot terminal 130 to the server 100.

In addition, when the parking management system 131 is subscribed to the valet service, the parking lot terminal 130 directly charges the parking fee to the server 100, thereby reducing the inconvenience caused by re-billing the parking fee of the first valet driver. First, the parking lot terminal 130 may receive information from the server 100 that the first valet driver 121 is moving to the parking lot 132. In addition, when the vehicle of the user driving by the first valet driver 121 enters the parking lot 132, the parking lot terminal 130 may request authentication information from the driver terminal 120. In addition, the parking lot terminal 130 may check whether the vehicle entering the parking lot 132 is the vehicle of the user driven by the first valet driver 121 using the authentication information received from the driver terminal 120. When the vehicle entering the parking lot 132 is a user's vehicle driven by the first valet driver 121, the parking lot terminal 130 may request a parking fee from the server 100. On the other hand, when the vehicle entering the parking lot 132 is not the vehicle of the user driving the first valet driver 121, the parking lot terminal 130 may charge the parking fee to the driver terminal 120.

In addition, the server 100 may map and store the archive information received from the article terminal 120 of the first valet article 121 with the user. In addition, the server 100 may receive a location and time for receiving the valet leaving service that receives the user's vehicle from the user terminal 110. In this case, the server 100 may determine the second valet driver 141 to provide the valet leaving service to the user in consideration of the location and time of the valet leaving service and the location of the valet driver.

In this case, the server 100 may predict the positions of the valet drivers for each hour based on the schedule of the valet parking service and the valet leaving service. In this case, the specific method of estimating the positions of the valet articles by the server 100 may be the same as the method of predicting the positions of the valet articles in the process of determining the first valet article 121 described above.

The server 100 may determine, as the second valet driver 141, the valet driver who is predicted to be located within a predetermined distance from the parking lot where the user's vehicle is parked based on the time when the valet leaving service is provided. In this case, when there are a plurality of valet articles predicted to be located within a certain distance, the server 100 determines the valet article predicted to be located closest to the position to be provided with the valet leaving service as the second valet article 141. Can be.

Next, the server 100 to the article terminal 140 of the second valet article 141, the user guide information including a path from the parking lot to the location to be provided with the valet leaving service, and the storage information stored in accordance with the user, The location and time to receive valet service can be transmitted.

At this time, the server 100 may predict the travel time according to the path from the parking lot where the user's vehicle is parked to the position where the valet leaving service is to be provided. In addition, the server 100 may predict a moving time from the predicted position of the second valet driver to the parking lot where the user's vehicle is parked based on the time when the valet leaving service is provided. Next, the server 100 may determine a departure time at which the second valet driver should start moving to the parking lot in consideration of the time to receive the valet leaving service, the moving time along the route, and the moving time to the parking lot. Finally, the server 100 may transmit the departure time together with the location and time to receive the user guide information, the storage information, the valet leaving service to the article terminal 140.

In this case, the article terminal 140 may provide the second valet article 141 by text or voice with a departure time received from the server 100, user guide information and storage information, and a location and time to receive the valet service. Can be.

When the second valet knight arrives at the parking lot according to the guidance of the article terminal 140, the article terminal 140 may transmit the storage information to the key storage of the parking lot. The key locker of the parking lot that has received the storage information from the driver terminal 140 of the second valet driver 141 opens the lock so that the second valet driver 141 can receive the key of the user's vehicle. Can be.

The second valet knight 141 may move the user's vehicle to a position to be provided with the valet leaving service using the key of the user's vehicle taken out of the key storage box opened with the storage information. In addition, the article terminal 140 of the second valet article 141 may transmit a service completion message informing the server 100 that the user has delivered the vehicle. In this case, the server 100 receiving the service completion message may transmit a confirmation message confirming whether the vehicle of the user has been received to the user terminal 110. In addition, when receiving a response to the confirmation message indicating that the user's vehicle has been received from the user terminal 110, the server 100 may settle the service fee to the first valet driver 121 and the second valet driver 141. can do.

Specifically, when receiving a response to the confirmation message that the user received the vehicle, the server 100 may request the user terminal 110 to pay for the valet service fee. In addition, the server 100 may receive the valet service fee from the user terminal 110 using at least one of mobile payment, coupon, gift certificate, and point.

In this case, the gift certificate may be a valet service gift certificate sold to the user by the valet service providing system. In addition, the point may be one of points purchased by an external company for marketing and presented to a user, or a mileage point accumulated by a user using a valet service providing system, or a number of times.
