Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the parking deviation warning system of the present invention installed in a parking lot, and FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of the parking deviation warning system of the present invention.

The parking deviation warning system of the present invention at least includes: an image capture device 10 , a processor 20 , a display device 30 and a playback device 40 . The present invention is applicable to a parking lot 100 having at least one parking space. The number of parking spaces in the parking lot 100 is not limited. For example, there may be at least three parking spaces as shown in FIG. The number and positions of the parking spaces shown in FIG. 1 are only examples and are not limited. The number, size and location of parking spaces can be adjusted according to actual needs.

The image capture device 10 is installed on the parking lot 100, and is used to capture the first image of the parking space of the parking lot 100 and the second image of the vehicle 200 parked on the parking space in real time. The image capture device 10 can be, for example, a monitor, and can be installed in the parking lot 100 where at least a part or all of the parking spaces can be detected. The installation height is preferably higher than the vehicle height of the vehicle 200, but it is not limited thereto. . If a single image capture device 10 can only detect images of a single parking grid or a small number of parking grids, multiple image capture devices 10 can be provided as required. The installation height of the image capture device 10 can also be such that at least three grid lines of the parking grid can be detected, such as the grid lines at the front and left and right sides. In addition, the image capture device 10 can be movably installed on a bracket of the parking lot 100, for example, so as to lock a specific direction or a specific vehicle by rotating the direction and/or height of the camera. For example, when the vehicle 200 enters the parking lot 100, the image capture device 10 can track the vehicle 200 until the parking space is secured.

The processor 20 identifies and analyzes the first image to determine whether the vehicle 200 covers at least one of the plurality of grid lines of the parking grid, and if the determination is “yes” and lasts for more than a first predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), then transmit The first warning command, if it is judged as “yes” and lasts for more than a second predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), then the second warning command is transmitted, and the processor 20 recognizes and analyzes the second image to obtain the license plate of the vehicle 200 Number. In the present invention, the second predetermined time is longer than the first predetermined time, so as to further remind the owner of the vehicle with the illegal license plate.

In the present invention, the processor 20 recognizes the lines of the grid lines of the parking grid according to the first image of the parking grid captured by the image capture device 10, and the processor 20 recognizes the lines of the grid lines according to the grid lines Whether the line of at least one grid line is complete is used to determine whether the vehicle 200 covers at least one grid line of the grid lines. Wherein at least one of the grid lines of the parking grid can be, for example, a front line, a left line or a right line. Because the grid line of the line behind the parking grid is usually difficult to detect and interpret because the height factor of the vehicle 200 after parking blocks the rear line, the processor 20 of the present invention usually only judges whether the line before the parking grid, the left line or the right line Occluded by the vehicle 200 . That is to say, as long as there is an incomplete part of the line before the parking grid, the left line or the right line, it can be judged as being blocked. In addition, if the installation height of the image capture device 10 is high enough, it can also detect the rear line of the parking space, so the processor 20 can also determine whether the rear line is blocked by the vehicle 200 .

When the processor 20 determines that the vehicle 200 covers at least one grid line of the parking grid 102 and lasts for more than a first predetermined time, such as more than one minute, the processor 20 will transmit a first warning command to the display device 30 . The display device 30 generates a first warning message according to the first warning instruction, so as to warn the owner of the vehicle 200 . Wherein the first warning message can be, for example, a static or dynamic text warning message, and the content of the first warning message can be, for example, a static or dynamic (flashing or marquee) display of the license plate number of the vehicle 200 plus other reminder text, such as " The owner of the license plate number XX-XXX, your vehicle is not parked" and other reminders. Or, if there are multiple display devices 30 and they are installed at each parking grid, the first warning message can also be, for example, different light colors, such as red for illegal parking and green for normal, to remind whether there is a violation through color.

The display device 30 can prompt the vehicle 200 with a certain license plate number to be illegally parked, for example, in the form of a warning light or in the form of a marquee. The number of display devices 30 may be one or more, for example. For example, if there is only one display device 30 , it can be installed at a conspicuous position in the parking lot 100 to remind the owner of the vehicle 200 . And if the number of display devices 30 is multiple, these display devices 30 can also be arranged correspondingly in front of each parking grid respectively, so that when the vehicle 200 is in a bad parking state, it can be instantly turned on in a light mode (such as lighting Red light) to warn the owner to correct the parking method in time.

When the processor 20 determines that the vehicle 200 covers at least one grid line of the parking grid 102 and lasts longer than a second predetermined time, for example, more than five minutes, the processor 20 will transmit a second warning command to the playback device 40 . The playback device 40 generates a second warning message according to the second warning instruction, so as to warn the owner of the vehicle 200 . Wherein the second warning instruction can be, for example, a voice message, and the second warning message can be, for example, voice dialing of the license plate number plus other reminder voices, such as playing "the owner of the license plate number XX-XXX through the playback device 40, your vehicle is not parked." ” broadcast voice.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , if the target parking place of the vehicle 200 is the parking space 102, and when the owner parks the vehicle 200 in the parking space 102, the front line, the left line and the right line of the parking space 102 are not blocked. Therefore, the image capturing device 10 can completely capture the front line, the left line and the right line of the parking space 102, so that the processor 20 can determine that the vehicle 200 is in a good parking state. At this time, the processor 20 will not transmit the first and second warning commands, so the display device 30 will not generate the first warning message, and the playback device 40 will not generate the second warning message.

And if after the car owner parks the vehicle 200 in the parking grid 102, any line of the parking grid 102, such as the front line, the left line or the right line, or more than two lines at the same time, is blocked by the vehicle 200 (see Figures 4 to 6 shown), the processor 20 will judge that the vehicle 200 violates the rules, and if it continues for more than a first predetermined time such as one minute, the processor 20 will transmit a first warning command to the display device 30, so that The display device 30 reminds the car owner to move the car immediately through a static or dynamic text warning message. And if the car owner does not pay attention to or even ignores the warning message intentionally, so that the violation time of the vehicle 200 continues to exceed the second predetermined time such as five minutes, the processor 20 will transmit the second warning command to the playback device 40, so that the playback device 40 Use voice messages to remind car owners that they can move the car immediately. Wherein, since the size difference between the size of the vehicle and the parking grid is generally not large, the image capture device 10 of the present invention does not need to capture all the sections of the front line, the left line or the right line of the parking grid 102 completely, and can only capture Partial sections of the line before the parking grid 102, the left line or the right line, such as the first half section of the left line or the right line and the entire section of the front line, can be used to judge whether there is a violation.

Wherein the display device 30 and the playback device 40 can be arranged on the parking lot 100 . The parking lot 100 can be attached to a shopping mall (that is, the parking lot 100 is a parking lot of a shopping mall or a store), and the playback device 40 can be installed inside the shopping mall to warn the owners of the vehicles 200 in the shopping mall. Thereby, if the vehicle 200 is in a bad parking state, the owner of the vehicle 200 can be notified by real-time broadcast through the playback device 40 in the mall, so that the owner can adjust the parking method in real time. Or, the playback device 40 can also be arranged at the entrance and exit of the parking lot 100, and then the car owner can be warned in advance before the car owner leaves the parking lot 100.

In addition, generally speaking, the parking lot 100 usually arranges a plurality of parking spaces in an adjacent manner, so at least one of the plurality of grid lines of the parking space is adjacent to another parking space. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the left line of the parking space 102 is adjacent to the right line of the parking space 101 , and the right line of the parking space 102 is adjacent to the left line of the parking space 103 . Therefore, if the vehicle 200 parks illegally and affects the smooth parking of vehicles in adjacent parking spaces, it will not only cause distress to the car owner, but also be detrimental to the operation and management of the parking lot 100 .

Therefore, in the present invention, the processor 20 can further determine that the vehicle 200 covers at least one of the grid lines of the parking grid 102 and lasts for more than a third predetermined time, such as more than 10 minutes, then the processor 20 will transmit an additional charge command to the metered charging device 50 of the parking lot 100, such as a charging device with a timing function, so that the timed charge device 50 can charge the vehicle 200 an additional charge according to the added charging command. Thus, when the owner of the vehicle 200 (violating vehicle) returns to the parking lot 100 to pick up the car, the parking fee to be paid will be higher than the normal parking fee, such as adding 50% or more than double the parking fee. Since the technology of charging by license plate recognition in parking lots is quite common, those with ordinary knowledge should be able to know how to perform license plate recognition on the violating vehicle and charge an additional fee through the disclosure of the present invention, so the present invention will not describe it in detail.

In addition, the present invention further proposes a parking deviation warning method, which is applicable to the parking lot 100 of the aforementioned parking deviation warning system. Immediately capture the first image of the parking grid and the second image of the vehicle 200 parked on the parking grid; perform a judgment step, the judgment step is to identify and analyze the first image through the processor 20, so as to judge whether the vehicle 200 is blocked At least one of the plurality of grid lines that live in the parking space, if it is determined as "yes" and lasts for more than the first predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), then transmit the first warning command, if it is determined as "yes" and lasts for more than the second For a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), the second warning instruction is transmitted; a license plate recognition step is performed, and the license plate recognition step can be identified and analyzed through the processor 20 to obtain the license plate number of the vehicle 200; a text warning step is performed , the text warning step is to make the display device 30 generate the first warning message according to the first warning instruction, so as to warn the owner of the vehicle 200; and perform a voice warning step, the voice warning step is to make the playback device 40 generate The second warning message is used to warn the owner of the vehicle 200 .

The parking deviation warning method of the present invention may further include an additional charging step, wherein if the processor 20 determines that the vehicle 200 covers at least one of the grid lines of the parking grid and continues to exceed the first grid line 3. Predetermined time, such as exceeding 10 minutes, then transmit the additional charging instruction, so that one of the metered charging devices 50 of the parking lot 100 charges the additional fee to 200 vehicles according to the additional charging instruction.

To sum up, the parking deviation warning system of the present invention can have one or more of the following advantages: (1) After the first predetermined time has elapsed after the car owner parks, he can know whether he has parked badly, so as to Instantly correct its bad parking condition. (2) When the car owner fails to correct after the second predetermined time, the driver can be reminded by broadcasting to correct his bad parking state. (3) When the owner fails to make corrections after the third scheduled time, an additional fee can be charged for the vehicle driven by the owner to make up for the business loss caused by the occupation of the adjacent parking space.
