[0038] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0039] The present disclosure provides a parking lot management method, which is applied to a parking lot management device, such as Figure 1As shown, the parking lot management method includes the following steps:

[0040] 101. When a target vehicle enters a target parking lot, obtain user information of the target vehicle.

[0041] The user information of the target vehicle includes at least one of characteristic information of the target user and identification information of the target vehicle, and the target user corresponds to the target vehicle.

[0042] The characteristic information of the target user may include the target user's facial image, the target user's ID card, etc.; the identification information of the target vehicle may include the target vehicle's license plate number, vehicle model, etc.

[0043] In one example, the characteristic information of the target user includes a facial image of the target user; and obtaining the user information of the target vehicle includes:

[0044] Perform face recognition on the target user to obtain the target user's face image.

[0045] In another example, the identification information of the target vehicle includes the license plate number of the target vehicle; obtaining the user information of the target vehicle includes:

[0046] Perform license plate recognition on the target vehicle to obtain the license plate number of the target vehicle.

[0047] Of course, the user information of the target vehicle can be obtained by detection by the parking lot management device, or can be obtained by other devices and then sent to the parking lot management device.

[0048] For example, obtaining the user information of the target vehicle includes:

[0049] Receive user information of a target vehicle sent by other devices.

[0050] Of course, the above descriptions are all exemplary and do not limit the present disclosure to these.

[0051] 102. Obtain the target user's permission information based on the target vehicle's user information.

[0052] In conjunction with the description in step 101, two specific examples are given here for illustration:

[0053] In one example, the target user's characteristic information includes a face image of the target user; and obtaining the target user's permission information based on the target vehicle's user information includes:

[0054] The facial image of the target user is analyzed to obtain the facial features of the target user; the facial features of the target user are matched in a preset database to obtain the permission information of the target user that matches the facial features of the target user.

[0055] In another example, the identification information of the target vehicle includes the license plate number of the target vehicle; and obtaining the permission information of the target user according to the user information of the target vehicle includes:

[0056] The target vehicle's license plate number is matched in a preset database to obtain the target user's permission information that matches the target vehicle's license plate number.

[0057] It should be noted that the preset database stores at least one user's facial features, at least one user's ID card, at least one license plate number, and at least one user's permission information. Specifically, one user's permission information corresponds to one user's facial features, one user's ID card, and one or more license plate numbers. This is merely an example, and the specific correspondence is not limited in this disclosure.

[0058] 103. Mark the target vehicle according to the target user's permission information.

[0059] Marking the target vehicle can generate an authority identification of the target vehicle based on the authority information of the target user and the identification information of the target vehicle. The authority identification of the target vehicle is used to indicate that the target vehicle belongs to the owner's vehicle or the visitor's vehicle, and is also used to indicate that the target vehicle belongs to a temporary vehicle or an authorized vehicle.

[0060] Here are three application scenarios to illustrate the target vehicle's permission identification:

[0061] In the first application scenario, the target vehicle is marked according to the target user's permission information, including:

[0062] When the target user's authority information indicates that the target user has the right to use the parking space in the target parking lot and the target user's parking space is vacant, the target vehicle is marked as an owner-authorized vehicle.

[0063] In the second application scenario, the target vehicle is marked according to the target user's permission information, including:

[0064] When the target user's authority information indicates that the target user has the right to use the parking space in the target parking lot and the target user's parking space is occupied, the target vehicle is marked as a temporary vehicle of the owner.

[0065] It should be noted that there are two situations in which the target user has the right to use a parking space in the target parking lot. In the first situation, the target user is bound to one or more fixed parking spaces, and the target user can only park in the bound parking spaces; in the second situation, the target user owns one or more parking spaces and is not limited to parking in a fixed parking space. For example, the target user has one parking space. If the target user drives a vehicle into the parking lot, the target user's parking space is occupied, no matter which parking space is parked.

[0066] In the third application scenario, the target vehicle is marked according to the target user's permission information, including:

[0067] When the target user's authority information indicates that the target user does not have the right to use the parking space in the target parking lot, the target vehicle is marked as a temporary visitor vehicle.

[0068] In conjunction with the parking lot management method described in steps 101-103, after step 103, the method may further include:

[0069] When the target vehicle leaves the target parking lot, the charging rules of the target vehicle are obtained according to the authority identifier of the target vehicle, and the parking fee of the target vehicle is calculated according to the charging rules of the target vehicle.

[0070] In combination with steps 101-103, in a specific application scenario, taking a community as an example, the owners who use the parking lot are first registered, and the user information of the owners (i.e., users) who use the parking lot in the community is entered into the database in advance. The database includes the facial features, ID number, bound license plate number and bound parking space number of the owners who use the parking lot.

[0071] When the target user drives the target vehicle into the residential parking lot, identify the license plate number of the target vehicle;

[0072] If the license plate number of the target vehicle has been registered and the bound parking space is vacant, a first authority identifier of the target vehicle is generated, and the first authority identifier is used to indicate that the target vehicle is an owner-authorized vehicle;

[0073] If the license plate number of the target vehicle has been registered and the bound parking space is occupied, a second permission identifier of the target vehicle is generated, and the second permission identifier is used to indicate that the target vehicle is a temporary vehicle of the owner;

[0074] If the license plate number of the target vehicle is not registered, the target user is subjected to face recognition to obtain the target user's facial features;

[0075] If the target user's facial features have been registered and the bound parking space is vacant, a first permission identifier for the target vehicle is generated, which is used to indicate that the target vehicle is an authorized vehicle of the owner;

[0076] If the target user's facial features have been registered and the bound parking space is occupied, a second permission identifier of the target vehicle is generated, and the second permission identifier is used to indicate that the target vehicle is a temporary vehicle of the owner;

[0077] If the facial features of the target user are not registered, a third authority identifier of the target vehicle is generated, and the third authority identifier is used to indicate that the target vehicle is a temporary visitor vehicle.

[0078] The parking space account number under the name of the unit and / or resident is pre-associated and saved with the facial recognition features of the driving members of the unit and / or resident and one or more license plate numbers of the resident.

[0079] When the target vehicle leaves the residential parking lot, the fee is charged according to the charging rules corresponding to the target vehicle's authority identification.

[0080] The parking lot management method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the authority of the target user based on the user information of the target vehicle, and marks the target vehicle according to the authority of the target user, thereby safeguarding the rights and interests of the user.
