Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent driving technology, and specifically relates to a method, system, vehicle, and storage medium for constructing a temporary parking area. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, manufacturers in the parking industry specialize in parking management in fixed areas and well-equipped facilities such as parking lots and parking garages. Their main technologies focus on parking lot access control, vacant parking space guidance, and parking fee collection. However, it is very difficult to designate temporary parking areas and set up parking equipment in outdoor areas without fixed areas and inadequate facilities. Without internet access and infrastructure, it is basically impossible for manufacturers to build their equipment. Even if they do build it, the equipment will need to be dismantled when the temporary parking areas are canceled, which is too costly.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for constructing a temporary parking area is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system containing at least a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0034] This method embodiment can also be executed in an electronic device, similar control device, or vehicle-mounted terminal that includes a memory and a processor. Taking a vehicle-mounted terminal as an example, the vehicle-mounted terminal may include one or more processors and a memory for storing data. Optionally, the vehicle-mounted terminal may also include a communication device for communication functions and a display device. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above structural description is merely illustrative and does not limit the structure of the vehicle-mounted terminal. For example, the vehicle-mounted terminal may include more or fewer components than those described above, or have a different configuration than those described above.

[0035] A processor may include one or more processing units. For example, a processor may include a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a digital signal processing (DSP) chip, a microcontroller unit (MCU), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), or an artificial intelligence (AI) processor. Different processing units may be independent components or integrated into one or more processors. In some instances, electronic devices may also include one or more processors.

[0036] The memory can be used to store computer programs, such as the computer program corresponding to the temporary parking area construction method in this embodiment of the invention. The processor implements the temporary parking area construction method by running the computer program stored in the memory. The memory may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for constructing a temporary parking area according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S101: Obtain the satellite positioning information of the first vehicle.

[0041] Specifically, the satellite positioning information of the first vehicle is used to determine the geographical location of the temporary parking area to be constructed. The first vehicle is the vehicle used to determine the geographical location of the temporary parking area to be constructed.

[0042] The satellite positioning information of the first vehicle can be obtained through the positioning module installed on the vehicle.

[0043] Step S102: Construct a temporary parking area based on satellite positioning information.

[0044] Specifically, the temporary parking area is a virtual area constructed based on the real-world area. After obtaining the satellite positioning information of the first vehicle, a virtual temporary parking area is constructed based on the current real-world geographical location of the first vehicle.

[0045] Specifically, constructing a virtual temporary parking area involves using the real-world area where the first vehicle is currently located as a virtual temporary parking area at a preset scale.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temporary parking area has boundary lines, and multiple boundary lines are used to define the scope of the temporary parking area. When a vehicle drives into the area within the boundary lines, it enters the temporary parking area; when a vehicle drives out of the area beyond the boundary lines, it leaves the temporary parking area.

[0047] Step S103: The temporary parking area is divided into virtual parking spaces to obtain a virtual parking space map.

[0048] Specifically, the virtual parking map includes multiple virtual parking spaces. After constructing the temporary parking area, virtual parking spaces are divided within the virtual temporary parking area to obtain the virtual parking map.

[0049] It is understandable that virtual parking maps are analogous to parking lots in the real world, and the parking spaces in virtual parking maps are analogous to parking spaces in the real world.

[0050] It should be noted that the geographical coordinates of each location point in the virtual parking space map correspond to the geographical coordinates of the real-world area corresponding to the temporary parking area.

[0051] Step S104: Send the virtual parking space map to the second vehicle.

[0052] Specifically, the second vehicle is the vehicle that enters the temporary parking area. After the virtual parking space map is constructed, it is sent to the second vehicle that enters the temporary parking area. Then, the second vehicle can park according to the virtual parking spaces in the virtual parking space map, so that the second vehicle parks in the real-world area corresponding to the virtual parking space.

[0053] Optionally, it can be determined whether a vehicle has entered a temporary parking area using the vehicle's satellite positioning information. The vehicle that has entered the temporary parking area is considered a second vehicle and can receive a virtual parking space map.

[0054] Understandably, by constructing virtual temporary parking areas and virtual parking spaces, areas for temporary parking can be created simply by marking parking spaces in areas that are not in the real world. The construction and destruction of virtual temporary parking areas are also more convenient.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, satellite positioning information of a first vehicle is first obtained. Then, based on the satellite positioning information, a temporary parking area is constructed. This temporary parking area is a virtual area constructed based on a real-world area. Next, the temporary parking area is divided into virtual parking spaces to obtain a virtual parking map, which includes multiple virtual parking spaces. Finally, the virtual parking map is sent to a second vehicle, which is the vehicle entering the temporary parking area. Through these steps, the second vehicle can enter a virtual parking space based on the virtual parking map, thus solving the technical problem of lacking a method for constructing temporary parking areas in temporary parking scenarios without physical parking space markings.

[0056] Optional, refer to Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a temporary parking area construction system, which can be used to perform steps S101 to S104 described above. For example, the temporary parking area construction system includes mobile phone A, car A, mobile phone B, car B, mobile phone C, and car C. Each vehicle and mobile phone has an app installed. This app can be used to receive and display virtual parking space maps and to select virtual parking spaces. The TBOX in the vehicle is a vehicle networking system used to enable communication between the vehicle and cloud services. IVI is an in-vehicle entertainment and information processing system, and the app is installed in this system.

[0057] Specifically, during the use of the aforementioned temporary parking area construction system, vehicle A can act as the first vehicle, executing steps S101 to S103 via the APP to construct a temporary parking area and a virtual parking space map. After constructing the temporary parking area and virtual parking space map, vehicle A uploads them to the cloud service. The cloud service can obtain the satellite positioning information of vehicles B and C in real time through the APP in the vehicle. When it detects that vehicles B and C have entered the temporary parking area, it sends the virtual parking space map to the APPs of vehicles B and C via TBOX. Vehicles B and C can view the virtual parking space map and select a virtual parking space for parking through the APP. Simultaneously, the virtual parking space map can also be viewed and virtual parking spaces selected through the APPs on the mobile phones of vehicles B and C, respectively bound to them.

[0058] Understandably, the mobile phone number A linked to car A can also be used to view virtual parking space maps and select virtual parking spaces.

[0059] It should be noted that the three vehicles A, B, and C and the three mobile phones A, B, and C mentioned above are only illustrative examples. In actual use, any number of vehicles and mobile devices greater than zero can be included, and mobile phones can be replaced with mobile terminals such as tablets.

[0060] Optionally, in step S102, constructing the temporary parking area based on satellite positioning information may include the following steps:

[0061] Step S1021: Determine the area of ​​available parking space based on the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first vehicle, wherein the available parking space is centered on the latitude and longitude coordinates, which are included in the satellite positioning information.

[0062] Step S1022: Construct a temporary parking area based on the available parking area area.

[0063] Specifically, when constructing a temporary parking area, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first vehicle are first obtained. These coordinates are contained within the vehicle's satellite positioning information. Based on these coordinates, the vehicle's current location in the real world can be determined. Then, a radar scan is performed on the area corresponding to this location to determine the available parking area. The available parking area represents a region in the real world that can be used for parking, and its center is the vehicle's latitude and longitude coordinates. The available parking area area is then determined based on the scanned area. After obtaining the available parking area area, virtual boundary lines are constructed, and multiple virtual boundary lines enclose the temporary parking area.

[0064] Optionally, the available parking area can be centered at other selectable coordinate points.

[0065] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temporary parking area can be determined by obtaining the driver's selected area.

[0066] For example, the current location of the first vehicle is scanned, and the area around the first vehicle is virtualized according to a preset ratio and displayed on the vehicle's display device. The user can select a temporary parking area in the virtual area.

[0067] Optionally, in step S103, the process of virtually dividing the temporary parking area into virtual parking spaces to obtain a virtual parking map may include the following steps:

[0068] Step S1031: Obtain the available parking area area of ​​the temporary parking area.

[0069] Specifically, after constructing the temporary parking area, the available parking area area can be determined based on the ratio of the temporary parking area to the real-world area.

[0070] Step S1032: Determine the number of virtual parking spaces based on the available parking area, the preset parking space area, and the preset driving lane area.

[0071] Specifically, after obtaining the available parking area, the number of virtual parking spaces that can be divided in the temporary parking area can be calculated based on the available parking area, the preset parking space area, and the preset driving lane area.

[0072] The preset parking space area is the standard parking space area, while the preset driving lane area can be determined according to actual needs.

[0073] For example, if the available parking area is 100 square meters, the preset parking space area is 9 square meters, and the preset driving lane area is 20 square meters, then the number of virtual parking spaces is (100-20) / 9. If the result is less than an integer, discard the decimal places. In this case, the number of virtual parking spaces is 8.

[0074] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, other preset formulas can be selected to calculate the number of virtual parking spaces according to actual needs.

[0075] Step S1033: Divide the temporary parking area into driving lanes and multiple virtual parking spaces according to the number of virtual parking spaces.

[0076] Specifically, after determining the number of virtual parking spaces, the temporary parking area is divided into multiple virtual parking spaces and driving lanes. The total number of virtual parking spaces obtained from this division is no greater than the original number of virtual parking spaces.

[0077] Step S1034: Determine the virtual parking space map based on the driving lane and multiple virtual parking spaces.

[0078] Specifically, after dividing the temporary parking area into virtual parking spaces and driving lanes, a virtual parking space map is obtained.

[0079] Optionally, in step S1033, dividing the temporary parking area into driving lanes and multiple virtual parking spaces according to the number of virtual parking spaces includes the following steps: determining the latitude and longitude coordinates of multiple parking spaces according to the number of virtual parking spaces, wherein the number of latitude and longitude coordinates of parking spaces is equal to the number of virtual parking spaces, and the latitude and longitude coordinates have a preset distance between them; determining multiple virtual parking spaces according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of multiple parking spaces, wherein the latitude and longitude coordinates of multiple parking spaces correspond one-to-one with the multiple virtual parking spaces; and dividing driving lanes in the temporary parking area according to the multiple virtual parking spaces.

[0080] For example, in this embodiment, when the number of virtual parking spaces is 8, eight latitude and longitude coordinates are determined in the temporary parking area, with a preset distance between them. If all eight latitude and longitude coordinates are arranged horizontally, the preset distance is one preset parking space width; if all eight latitude and longitude coordinates are arranged vertically, the preset distance is one preset parking space length; if the eight parking spaces are arranged in a multi-row, multi-column configuration, the preset distance between the vertically arranged latitude and longitude coordinates is one preset parking space length, and the preset distance between the horizontally arranged latitude and longitude coordinates is one preset parking space width. The eight latitude and longitude coordinates can determine eight virtual parking spaces, which serve as the geometric center points of the virtual parking spaces. The virtual parking spaces are then determined based on the geometric center points and the preset parking space area. After the virtual parking spaces are determined, the spaces not yet designated as virtual parking spaces are used as driving lanes.

[0081] Optionally, in step S1033, dividing the temporary parking area into driving lanes and multiple virtual parking spaces according to the number of virtual parking spaces includes the following steps: determining multiple parking space corner latitude and longitude coordinates according to the number of virtual parking spaces, wherein the parking space corner latitude and longitude coordinates are a preset multiple of the number of virtual parking spaces; determining multiple virtual parking spaces according to the multiple parking space corner latitude and longitude coordinates, wherein at least two parking space corner latitude and longitude coordinates determine one virtual parking space; and dividing driving lanes in the temporary parking area according to the multiple virtual parking spaces.

[0082] For example, when there are 8 virtual parking spaces, at least 16 latitude and longitude coordinates are determined in the temporary parking area. These 16 coordinates are grouped into pairs, with each pair defining one parking space. These two coordinates are then used as the two opposite corners of the virtual parking space to define another virtual parking space. Using these 16 coordinates, 8 virtual parking spaces can be determined. After the virtual parking spaces are determined, the spaces not yet designated as virtual parking spaces are used as driving lanes.

[0083] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, a virtual parking space can also be determined using four latitude and longitude coordinates, which serve as the four corners of the virtual parking space.

[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, a virtual parking space can also be determined using a preset number of latitude and longitude coordinates according to actual needs.

[0085] Optionally, the method for constructing a temporary parking area also includes: guiding a second vehicle into a target virtual parking space based on a virtual parking space map.

[0086] Specifically, once the second vehicle receives the virtual parking space map, it is guided to drive into the target parking space based on the virtual parking space map.

[0087] It is understood that the target parking space can be a real-world area corresponding to a virtual parking space allocated to the second vehicle, or it can be a real-world area corresponding to a virtual parking space obtained from the driver's selection. This embodiment does not limit the method of determining the target parking space.

[0088] Optionally, guiding the second vehicle to the target parking space according to the virtual parking space map includes: selecting the target virtual parking space according to the virtual parking space map; obtaining the occupancy status of the target virtual parking space, including whether it is occupied or not; in response to the target virtual parking space being unoccupied, planning the parking path of the second vehicle according to the target virtual parking space; guiding the second vehicle to the target virtual parking space according to the parking path and changing the occupancy status of the target virtual parking space.

[0089] For example, after a vehicle receives a virtual parking space map, the map is displayed to the user, who can then select a target parking space. The system or electronic device executing this method retrieves the user's virtual parking space as the target virtual parking space. Once the target virtual parking space is retrieved, its occupancy status is determined, as indicated in the virtual parking space's notes. If the target virtual parking space is not occupied, a parking path is planned for the second vehicle based on it. The second vehicle is then guided to the target virtual parking space according to the parking path. After the second vehicle enters the target virtual parking space, its occupancy status is updated.

[0090] When the target virtual parking space is occupied, reacquire the target virtual parking space and repeat the above steps until an unoccupied virtual parking space is selected.

[0091] Reference Figure 3 For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method for constructing a temporary parking area includes the following: establishing a temporary parking domain (i.e., constructing a virtual parking space map):

[0092] The in-vehicle system of vehicle A (i.e., the first vehicle mentioned above) performs the following operations: It launches the parking application to obtain the vehicle's GPS (Global Positioning System) data and displays the vehicle's position in the current map area. Then, it obtains the geofence to be selected and the number of parking spaces set by the user. After saving the user settings, it renders virtual parking spaces based on the geofence and the number of parking spaces, thus obtaining a virtual parking space map. Next, it obtains the user-set vehicle push range and publishes the vehicle push range and the virtual parking space map to the cloud.

[0093] The mobile phone linked to vehicle A performs the following actions: receiving parking area information (i.e., the aforementioned virtual parking space map).

[0094] The cloud-based execution is as follows: Save the range of vehicles pushed by vehicle A and the virtual parking space map, and then push the virtual parking space map to the mobile phone bound to vehicle A and vehicle B (i.e., the second vehicle mentioned above) according to the range of vehicles pushed.

[0095] The B vehicle's infotainment system and the mobile phone bound to B perform the following tasks: receiving parking area information (i.e., the aforementioned virtual parking map).

[0096] Reference Figure 4 For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method for constructing a temporary parking area includes the following: The process of B vehicle entering the parking space (i.e., guiding the second vehicle into the target parking space):

[0097] The B vehicle's infotainment system performs the following actions: It launches the parking application to obtain parking area information, a map page, and vehicle GPS data. It then renders the virtual parking space distribution within the temporary parking area, retrieves the user-selected parking space, and calculates the path planning result from the current location to the target parking space. Based on the path planning result, it displays vehicle guidance information in the vehicle. During the parking process of the second vehicle, its GPS data is acquired in real-time and uploaded to the cloud. The system continuously checks if the GPS location matches the target parking space's GPS location. If so, it outputs a prompt message through the in-vehicle display. Upon seeing the prompt message, the user stops the vehicle, and the parking result is confirmed and sent to the cloud.

[0098] The following actions are performed when vehicle B is bound to a mobile phone: receiving parking results and virtual parking space information, whereby the virtual parking space information indicates the location of the virtual parking space where the vehicle is parked.

[0099] The cloud-based operations are as follows: Record the user's selected target parking space and send the target parking space information to vehicle A's infotainment system and the mobile phone bound to vehicle A. Receive GPS information from vehicle B in real time, perform geofencing checks on the GPS information, and if vehicle B enters or exits the geofence, send a message to vehicle A. Receive the parking result from vehicle B and record the GPS data of vehicle B at the time of parking, then push the vehicle parking result and virtual parking space information to the mobile phone bound to vehicle B.

[0100] The functions of the vehicle's infotainment system and the phone linked to vehicle A are as follows: Receive information on the occupancy of virtual parking spaces and display it on the in-vehicle display. Receive messages from vehicle B entering or exiting the temporary parking area and display them on the in-vehicle display. Receive information on vehicle B's final parking status and display it on the in-vehicle display.

[0101] Reference Figure 5 For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method for constructing a temporary parking area further includes a dismantling area, specifically including the following:

[0102] The following actions are performed by the vehicle's infotainment system and the phone number linked to vehicle B: Obtain vehicle B's GPS data and upload it to the cloud in real time. Receive notifications of temporary parking area closures.

[0103] The cloud-based execution is as follows: Real-time reception of GPS data from vehicle B; geofencing determination based on GPS data; if vehicle B enters or exits the geofencing, a message is sent to vehicle A.
