In the above embodiment, the parking lot management system 1 has an account registration function, which allows the user to register an account, and establishes the vehicle number of the vehicle, the relevant code of the mobile device 14 (such as a mobile phone number), etc. under his account. Therefore, the management host 11 stores the account information corresponding to the car number, and transmits a reminder notification corresponding to the parking space number to the mobile device 14 corresponding to the account information according to the account information. In other words, the user can set the management host 11 to transmit the reminder notification of the corresponding car number to the mobile device 14 within a certain period of time through the mobile device 14 to remind the notification that the content can be the parking location or the vehicle image, and the manner of transmission, This method can be used to push or send a text message to Internet 2, and this creation is not limited to this.

In addition, the management host 11 can also actively transmit related information to the mobile device 14, as in the above embodiment, wherein when the management host 11 recognizes the vehicle image, if the analyzed parking number is changed (with the originally parked vehicle) If the number of the original parked vehicle becomes no-vehicle parking (possibly due to theft), the management host 11 can determine that it is an alarm event, and send an alarm message to the mobile device 14 to notify the user. However, the identification of the presence or absence of the above-mentioned vehicle is not limited to the vehicle number, and the characteristics of the parked vehicle, such as color, brand, vehicle type, etc., may be analyzed when the first camera 13 captures the parking image, and the vehicle characteristics are determined. . Here, the alarm message can also be sent to the security monitoring center or other units (such as a police station) that cooperate with the parking lot management system 1.

The following embodiment is a contextual description of the use of the parking lot management system 1 of the present invention. After the user has to park the parking lot for a long time, after the vehicle is parked, the application program is executed through the mobile device 14 to transfer the car wash demand to the management host 11. The car wash demand includes the time of the car wash, for example, a certain time after six days, when the waiter drives When the parking space is opened, the management host 11 transmits a car wash message to the mobile device 14. The car wash message includes the time point when the waiter drives to leave the parking space and the vehicle image at that time. After the vehicle is washed back to the parking lot, the waiter parks the car in the new parking space, and the management host 11 sends a notification message and the vehicle image to the mobile device 14 to notify the user that the user can receive the notification and can be executed by the mobile device 14. The application transmits control commands to view various messages and data. Thereafter, when the user returns to the parking lot, since the parking position of the vehicle has changed, the user can obtain the position information through the plurality of information providing elements 15 as described above, and output the guidance information that can be guided to the vehicle. Or connected to the management host 11 to query the parking position of the vehicle, and the vehicle is found by the guidance of the application. Then, the parking lot is deducted according to the charging method of the parking lot, and the charging method is deducted by the charging device 16 and the mobile device 14 in proximity to the sensing device, and details are not described herein.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the management host 11 of the parking lot management system 1 of the present invention. The management host 11 can be operated by a plurality of servers, and includes a monitoring server 11a, a computing server 11b, and a push server 11c. The monitoring server 11a processes the license plate recognition, the parking lot gateway control, the first camera 13, Image monitoring of the second camera 17 and the third camera 18 and storage of parking information. The computing server is responsible for security, camera patrol scheduling, security personnel auditing procedures, alarm event processing, mobile payment processing, and recording, providing parking information to the mobile device 14. The push server pushes the message. The parking lot management system 1 of the present invention focuses on the functional implementation and application, and the combination thereof is only an example project, and therefore the composition of the management host 11 is not limited to the above combination. Moreover, each of the foregoing servers may be configured not only as a single computer but also in combination with cloud computing technology.
