After a rental period, the management system server identifies the devices based on the current image of the reserved space and determines whether each device is located within the corresponding reasonable placement range.

When the management system server determines that the device is not located within the corresponding reasonable placement range, the management system server transmits a device placement abnormality notification corresponding to the device to the management party electronic device.

In some embodiments, the space management system is adapted to communicate with a lessee electronic device operated by a lessee, and further comprises an access control system server electrically connected to the management system server via a communication network and an access control card reader electrically connected to the access control system server via a communication network. The access control card reader is arranged in the predetermined space and transmits a card swipe notification corresponding to the access card to the access control system server when a access card is sensed. The access control system server adds a card swipe record corresponding to the card swipe notification when receiving the card swipe notification. The card swipe record comprises an identification data corresponding to the access card and a card swipe time.

In some implementations, when the management system server receives a rental request from the renter's electronic device corresponding to the reserved space and including a rental period and a renter identification data, the management system server determines whether the renter identification data exists in a rental suspension list.

When the management system server determines that the renter identification data does not exist in the rental suspension list, the management system server adds a rental record corresponding to the reserved space. The rental record includes the renter identification data and the rental period.

After the rental period, the management system server determines whether the access control system server stores the card swiping record in which the identity identification data contained therein matches the identification data of the renter and the card swiping time contained therein is within the rental period.

When the management system server determines that the access control system server has not stored the card swiping record in which the identity identification data contained therein matches the borrower identification data and the card swiping time contained therein is within the rental period, the management system server updates a cumulative unused count corresponding to the borrower identification data and determines whether the cumulative unused count has reached an upper limit of one time.

When the management system server determines that the accumulated unused times have reached the upper limit, the management system server adds the renter identification data to the rental suspension list.

In some embodiments, the space management system further includes at least one Internet of Things device, which is disposed in the predetermined space and electrically connected to the management system server via a communication network.

After the lease period, the management system server obtains status data indicating the current status of the IoT device from the IoT device, and determines whether the status data indicates shutdown.

When the management system server determines that the status data does not indicate shutdown, the management system server transmits a notification corresponding to the device of the Internet of Things device that the device is not shut down to the management party electronic device.

In some implementations, when the management system server is unable to communicate with the IoT device via the communication network, the management system server sends a device disconnection notification corresponding to the IoT device to the management party electronic device.
