Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of online parking reservation systems, and in particular to an online parking reservation system for a hospital. Background Art

[0002] Parking lots are places for parking vehicles. There are simple parking lots with only parking spaces but no management or charging, and there are also paid parking lots equipped with entry and exit gates, parking managers and timed cashiers. For the parking spaces of hospitals, effective management will greatly reduce the congestion of vehicles around the hospital and provide effective help for people entering the hospital to quickly find the hospital department they need to enter. In the past, discharged patients left the hospital by car from the hospital gate, but there are many people at the hospital gate, and sometimes the flow of people is very large. Driving into the gate will increase congestion, and it is inconvenient for private cars or taxis to enter and cannot be parked at the gate for a long time. If the vehicle enters the theater gate and the patient has not completed the discharge procedures, or has completed the discharge procedures but the vehicle has not arrived, it will cause trouble to the discharged patients. If the patient's family members park the vehicle in the garage in advance, the patient can be discharged in time after completing the discharge procedures. For patients who come to the hospital for examination or treatment, they can make an appointment for a parking space in advance, and after parking the car in the parking space, they can enter the hospital for treatment. If you don't make an appointment in advance, parking will be very troublesome, and it may even delay the treatment time. However, parking has always been a problem in existing hospitals. Inaccurate parking locations lead to multiple walking routes, which is not patient-friendly. Or there are no empty parking spaces or they cannot be found, so patients’ families cannot park, which will waste a lot of time and may even interfere with consultation time, worsening the patient’s condition. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to a certain extent. To this end, one purpose of the present invention is to propose an online reservation system for hospital parking lots, which solves the problems of parking troubles in hospitals, inability to stop accurately or inability to park, and parking chaos leading to hospital congestion.

[0004] An online reservation system for a hospital parking lot according to the present invention includes a garage server, a garage partition module, and a mobile terminal connected to the garage server network via the Internet;

[0005] The garage partition module includes a garage partition in the hospital and a parking space management unit in each garage partition. The garage partition in the hospital is partitioned according to the location of the hospital gate and the distribution of departments in the hospital. The number of partitioned parking spaces in the garage partition is not less than 4 partitions. The parking spaces in each partitioned parking space are numbered in a system sequence in the garage server and the middle position of the parking space is painted with numbered paint. The parking spaces in each partitioned parking space are provided with two lifting and lowering posts and an entry recognition sensor on the outer side of the parking space, and a license plate scanning camera and an entry alarm recognition sensor are provided on the inner side of the parking space. The driving lifting structure of the lifting and lowering post, the entry recognition sensor, the license plate scanning camera and the entry alarm recognition sensor are all electrically connected to the garage server.

[0006] The mobile terminal is installed with an APP reservation client, and the APP reservation client is provided with an input reservation module, a voice reservation module, a parking space display module and a route navigation module. The input reservation module is used to input information in the reservation interface to screen parking spaces, the voice reservation module is used to screen parking spaces by voice input in the reservation interface, the parking space display module is used to display parking space information according to one's own requirements in the reservation interface, and the route navigation module is used to display a driving route map to the parking space after reserving a parking space.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reservation interface of the APP reservation client is provided with advance reservation and temporary reservation;

[0008] The advance reservation must be made at least six hours before the time when parking is required;

[0009] The temporary reservation must be made within one hour before the time when parking is required. Once the temporary reservation is successful, the parking fee will be charged from the time the reservation is successful to the time the reservation is released.

[0010] In other embodiments of the present invention, if the time period reserved by the advance reservation module expires and the car parked before the time period has not left the parking space, the garage server will automatically search for the user information who has not left the parking space in time, and stop the user from leaving the parking space in time by phone or text message;

[0011] At the same time, messages or phone calls will be sent to users who have made advance reservations to notify them to communicate with customer service.

[0012] In other embodiments of the present invention, if a user wants to make a reservation more than one hour and less than six hours in advance in a temporary reservation, the user can choose to advance the reservation time period to include the time period they want to reserve, thereby locking the parking space, or wait until one hour before the reservation time period to make a reservation.

[0013] In other embodiments of the present invention, after the temporary reservation is successful, the lifting and lowering blocking column in the reserved parking space is driven to rise by the driving lifting structure to prevent other people from parking in the parking space.

[0014] In other embodiments of the present invention, the route navigation module includes road navigation outside the hospital and inbound route navigation into the hospital;

[0015] Road navigation will provide the best access to a hospital gate with a reserved parking space and the best road route to enter the hospital gate;

[0016] The entry route navigation will navigate the route from the hospital gate to the garage and the route to enter the garage to find a parking space.

[0017] In other embodiments of the present invention, the garage server is provided with a module for displaying available parking spaces in the entire garage. If there are no available parking spaces for reservation in the partitioned parking spaces screened according to the reservation requirements, then clicking on the module for displaying available parking spaces in the entire garage will display whether there are available parking spaces for selection in other partitioned parking spaces.

[0018] In other embodiments of the present invention, if the car is not parked in the reserved parking space within one hour after the reserved time period, the garage server detects that the car has not been parked within one hour of the reserved time period and will automatically cancel the reserved parking space and set it as an open parking space.

[0019] In other embodiments of the present invention, if a user enters a garage before the reserved time period and finds that the reserved parking space is not parked, the user can modify the reserved time period on the APP reservation client and advance it to the present time period so as to park in time;

[0020] If you enter the garage before the reserved time period and find that the parking space you reserved is still available, the user can choose to drive the car out of the garage and wait until the time is up before parking, or choose another available parking space, and then change the parking space you reserved to the number of the current parking space on the reservation client.

[0021] In the present invention, a parking space in a hospital garage can be reserved in advance, which is convenient for quick parking without causing parking congestion or temporary parking without parking space. Accurate parking is also possible, which is convenient for timely entry into the hospital after parking or timely entry into the parking space from the hospital, thereby reducing the time spent by patients in entering or leaving the hospital.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] The present invention proposes an online reservation system for a hospital parking lot, comprising a garage server, a garage partition module, and a mobile terminal connected to the garage server network via the Internet;

[0029] The garage partition module includes the garage partitions in the hospital 1 and the parking space management unit in each garage partition. The garage partitions in the hospital 1 are partitioned according to the location of the hospital gate and the distribution of departments in the hospital. The number of partitioned parking spaces 2 divided by the garage partition is not less than 4 partitions. The parking spaces in each of the partitioned parking spaces 2 are numbered in a system sequence in the garage server and the middle position of the parking space is painted with numbered spray paint 31. The parking spaces 3 in each of the partitioned parking spaces 2 are provided with two lifting and lowering columns 4 and an entry recognition sensor 5 on the outer side of the parking space 3, and a license plate scanning camera 7 and an entry alarm recognition sensor 6 are provided on the inner side of the parking space 3. The driving lifting structure of the lifting and lowering column 4, the entry recognition sensor 5, the license plate scanning camera 7 and the entry alarm recognition sensor 6 are all electrically connected to the garage server.

[0030] A hospital will have elevators leading to underground garages in different locations, such as the consultation building (outpatient clinic), the testing building (various instrument testing), the surgery and treatment building, the inpatient department (multiple departments), etc. Many of them are not together. Some hospitals will have multiple gates to enter the hospital. Vehicles entering the hospital will be provided with the best parking spaces and routes to enter the hospital according to the needs of the reservation. The hospital's reservation parking system designs the best partitions according to the hospital distribution and the location of the gates for better parking and accurate parking.

[0031] The lifting column 4 is used to reserve a parking space. When the reserved time period is reached, the lifting column 4 will be automatically raised to prevent others from parking in the parking space 3. The in-position recognition sensor 5 (similar to an infrared sensor or an obstacle sensor, which will start the license plate scanning camera 7 when encountering an obstruction or shielding) is always working. When a vehicle is covered on it, the license plate scanning camera 7 (a conventional scanning camera to save the license plate number) is started to work. After the vehicle enters, it is prevented from driving over and hitting obstacles. When the in-position alarm recognition sensor 6 (the same principle as the in-position recognition sensor 5) is blocked, an alarm sound will be issued, and the person who stopped the parking should not continue to drive and needs to stop the car to drive.

[0032] The entire system is controlled by the server.

[0033] The mobile terminal is installed with an APP reservation client, and the APP reservation client is provided with an input reservation module, a voice reservation module, a parking space display module and a route navigation module. The input reservation module is used to input information in the reservation interface to screen the parking space 3, the voice reservation module is used to screen the parking space 3 by voice input in the reservation interface, the parking space display module is used to display the parking space information according to one's own requirements in the reservation interface, and the route navigation module is used to display the driving route map to the parking space 3 after reserving the parking space.

[0034] After the parking reservation is successful, when you need to park in the parking space, click on the interface of the route navigation module, and the route from the current parking space to the hospital will be displayed (the mobile device needs to turn on the GPS positioning system). You can accurately reach the hospital gate by following the route. After arriving at the gate, the entry route will be automatically changed to allow you to enter the garage faster. After entering the garage, the garage parking space information map will be automatically displayed.

[0035] If you do not make a reservation while driving, you can more accurately input your needs through the reservation module, which makes it easier to quickly find the required parking space for reservation. If you make a reservation while driving, you cannot enter it manually. You can also use voice recognition to make a reservation, but voice recognition is prone to errors. After the reservation information is confirmed, the best parking space will be displayed through the parking space display module for selection. Click to select and confirm the reservation.

[0036] The reservation interface of the APP reservation client is provided with advance reservation and temporary reservation;

[0037] The advance reservation must be made at least six hours before the time when parking is required;

[0038] The temporary reservation must be made within one hour before the time when parking is required. Once the temporary reservation is successful, the parking fee will be charged from the time the reservation is successful to the time the reservation is released.

[0039] If you want to find a parking space within an hour, you can lock the parking space immediately to prevent entering the garage without a parking space or difficulty finding a parking space. In this way, you will have to pay extra parking fees for the parking space less than an hour in advance, which is relatively cost-effective. If you lock the parking space several hours in advance, you will have to pay several hours more parking fees and waste the parking space.

[0040] For those who need to reserve a parking space several hours or more than a day in advance, they can select a time period to park. This allows accurate parking time, but it is troublesome to change it temporarily.

[0041] If the car parked before the time period has not left the parking space 3 when the time period reserved by the advance reservation module arrives, the garage server will automatically search for the user information who has not left the parking space 3 in time, and stop the user from leaving the parking space 3 in time by phone or SMS;

[0042] At the same time, messages or phone calls will be sent to users who have made advance reservations to notify them to communicate with customer service.

[0043] If a parking space reserved six hours in advance is occupied, the user who has occupied the parking space needs to be reminded and the person who made the reservation needs to be notified to communicate and solve the parking problem. Only in this way can the problem of occupied parking spaces be solved quickly.

[0044] If the user wants to make a reservation more than one hour and less than six hours in advance in a temporary reservation, the user can choose to advance the reservation time period to include the time period they want to reserve, thereby locking the parking space, or wait until one hour before the reservation time period to make a reservation.

[0045] This can prevent you from parking in a vacant parking space or from being unable to reserve a desired parking space.

[0046] After the temporary reservation is successful, the lifting and lowering pillar 4 in the reserved parking space 3 is driven and raised by the driving lifting structure to prevent other people from parking in the parking space 3. Raising the lifting and lowering pillar 4 can prevent other people from parking in the garage after the user who has made the temporary reservation enters. The driving lifting structure can be driven by a lifting cylinder, or a motor drives a screw rod to drive the lifting and lowering. The specific structure belongs to a conventional structure and is not described in detail.

[0047] The route navigation module includes road navigation outside the hospital and entry route navigation into the hospital;

[0048] Road navigation will provide the best access to a hospital gate with a reserved parking space and the best road route to enter the hospital gate;

[0049] The entry route navigation will navigate the route from the hospital gate to the garage and the route to enter the garage to find a parking space.

[0050] Road navigation outside the hospital is generally within 30 kilometers around the hospital. Beyond this distance, users need to use their own mobile phones or other navigation devices for navigation.

[0051] The route navigation into the hospital does not use GPS, it only displays the route planning map and you can enter according to the plan.

[0052] The garage server is provided with a vacant parking space display module in the entire garage. If there is no vacant parking space 3 for reservation in the partitioned parking space 2 screened according to the reservation requirements, then, clicking on the vacant parking space display module in the entire garage will display whether there are vacant parking spaces 3 for selection in other partitioned parking spaces 2.

[0053] If the best parking space is not found in the reservation information you entered, you can choose another better parking space to ensure that there is a parking space.

[0054] If the car is not parked in the reserved parking space 3 within one hour after the reserved time period arrives, the garage server detects the information that the car has not been parked within one hour of the reserved time period, and will automatically cancel the reserved parking space 3 and set it as an open parking space 3. To prevent the person who reserved the parking space from not parking and occupying the parking space, causing waste of parking space, when the reservation is cancelled, the billing starts from the time of cancellation, and the system will automatically deduct the fee from the client of the reservation.

[0055] If you enter the garage before the reserved time period and find that you have not parked in the reserved parking space 3, you can modify your reserved time period on the APP reservation client and advance it to the present time so that you can park in time;

[0056] If you enter the garage before the reserved time period and find that the parking space 3 you reserved is still available, the user can choose to drive the car out of the garage and wait until the time is up before parking, or choose another vacant parking space 3 to stop, and then modify the parking space you reserved to the number of the current parking space 3 on the reservation client.

[0057] In order to prevent the situation where you need to enter the garage in advance and then leave the garage to enter the hospital urgently, you can park your car first and then quickly modify the parking reservation information on the mobile terminal to park quickly. Modifying the reservation information requires additional parking fees, which generally does not exceed 20% of the parking fee. After modifying the reserved parking space, the original reserved parking space will automatically be converted to an empty parking space when the reservation time arrives.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
