[0024] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: sending a car search instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, so that the parking space management end performs a query and positioning operation based on the car search instruction, obtains the vehicle location information of the car owner, and provides the vehicle location information to the target user through the display screen of the parking space management end; sending a payment instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, so that the parking space management end performs a settlement operation based on the payment instruction, obtains the settlement data of the car owner, and generates a deduction instruction based on the settlement data; receiving the deduction instruction sent by the parking space management end through the vehicle application, performing a deduction operation based on the deduction instruction, and obtaining the deduction information.

[0026] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following description is made by taking the vehicle search device for identifying a parking lot as the execution subject.

[0027] Nowadays, driving is common, and car owners often park their cars in large parking lots. When they want to go out, they often forget where they parked their cars, which makes it difficult to find the car. At present, some car search solutions use license plate recognition + video surveillance. By entering the license plate number on a fixed car search terminal in the parking lot, and then using cameras in various locations in the parking lot to take pictures of the parking space where the license plate number is parked, the parking location of the vehicle can be found. The cost of this solution is funded by the parking lot operator, which increases its operating costs.

[0028] In addition, parking lots now use license plate recognition to enter and exit, calculate parking fees based on the license plate number, and then the user actively scans the code to complete the payment. However, the signal in many underground parking lots is poor, making it difficult to scan the code to pay. Because the signal at the exit is good, in many cases you can only queue up at the exit to scan the code to pay, which increases the congestion at the exit and the experience is poor.

[0029] This application sends a car search instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, and provides the vehicle location information to the car owner through the display screen, which can improve the efficiency of finding the car in the parking lot.

[0030] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a vehicle search device in a parking lot, etc. The following takes the vehicle search device in a parking lot as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0031] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for finding a vehicle in a parking lot, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for searching for a vehicle in a parking lot of the present application.

[0032] In this embodiment, the method for finding a vehicle in a parking lot is applied to a vehicle owner terminal, the vehicle owner terminal includes a vehicle key and a vehicle application, and the method includes steps S10 to S30: Step S10, sending a car search instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, so that the parking space management end performs a query and positioning operation based on the car search instruction, obtains the vehicle location information of the owner end, and provides the vehicle location information to the target user through the display screen of the parking space management end.

[0033] It should be noted that the vehicle owner terminal refers to the relevant equipment and applications of the target vehicle driven by the user to enter the parking lot for parking, including the vehicle key of the target vehicle and the vehicle application used by the user.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that the car key refers to a physical or virtual key used to open and lock the car door of the target vehicle. With the development of technology, car keys may not only be traditional physical keys, but may also include smart keys, such as key cards with NFC functions or virtual keys in mobile phone apps. An ultra-wideband UWB (Ultra-Wideband) chip and a near-field communication NFC (Near Field Communication) chip are integrated in the car key, and a unique car key number defined by the manufacturer is assigned as a key identifier when leaving the factory.

[0035] In addition, it should be noted that the vehicle application is a mobile application provided by automobile manufacturers or related service providers. Users can perform various operations through the car dealer APP, such as vehicle management, maintenance appointments, and vehicle status viewing. In this application, the user first registers an account in the vehicle application and then binds the vehicle's key number to achieve more convenient vehicle management.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that the vehicle search instruction includes a request to find the location of the vehicle and is transmitted to a nearby UWB micro base station through UWB (ultra-wideband) technology. The vehicle search instruction includes the car key number of the car key.

[0037] In addition, it should be noted that the target user refers to the owner of the target vehicle to which the driving car key is bound.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the parking space management terminal refers to a system for managing vehicles in a parking lot, including a micro base station system, a display screen, and a management and billing platform.

[0039] Among them, the micro base station system refers to the UWB micro base station in the parking lot. Multiple base stations are installed at the entrance, exit and inside the parking lot, each covering a certain area and range, and monitoring multiple parking spaces. The display screen refers to the screen that displays the vehicle location information of the target vehicle in the parking lot. There are multiple screens installed in the parking lot, which are basically the same as the number of UWB micro base stations in the parking lot, and are physically installed together with the UWB micro base stations. The management and billing platform refers to the parking space management and billing background system of the parking lot, which is used to store the vehicle location information of the owner, calculate the parking fees generated by the owner, and communicate and interact with the owner, the display screen and the micro base station system to control the entry and exit of the target vehicle where the owner is located.

[0040] Specifically, when the user wants to drive the target vehicle out of the parking lot, he presses the car search button of the car key, and sends a car search instruction to the micro base station system in the parking space management end through the car key. The car search instruction contains at least the car key number of the car key, and the car search instruction is sent to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key through the UWB data transmission channel. After receiving the car search instruction, the UWB micro base station forwards the car search instruction to the management and billing platform, and queries the vehicle location information bound to the car key number in the management and billing platform based on the car key number of the car key, and queries the parking space number of the vehicle according to the vehicle location information.

[0041] Furthermore, after the vehicle location information of the owner is queried in the management and billing platform based on the car key number of the car key, the vehicle location information is sent to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key, and the vehicle location information is sent to the display screen installed together through the UWB micro base station. The vehicle location information is displayed on the display screen to provide the information to the target user. In one embodiment of the present application, the displayed vehicle location information includes but is not limited to the car key number, parking floor, parking partition and parking number. For the convenience of users to view, the display time can be set according to the specific situation. In one embodiment of the present application, the display time is set to 5 seconds, and the information disappears automatically after 5 seconds of display to protect privacy.

[0042] Step S20, sending a payment instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, so that the parking space management end performs a settlement operation based on the payment instruction, obtains the settlement data of the car owner end, and generates a deduction instruction based on the settlement data.

[0043] It should be noted that the payment instruction refers to a signal request generated by the target user when preparing to leave the parking lot by pressing the payment button on the car key to initiate active payment. This instruction indicates that the car owner has completed parking and is willing to pay the corresponding parking fee. The payment instruction contains the key identifier of the car key.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that the settlement data is the parking fee that the car owner should pay calculated by the management and billing platform based on the payment instruction and the parking lot record information. The settlement data includes but is not limited to the car key number, parking fee, parking time and payment status.

[0045] In addition, it should be noted that the deduction instruction refers to a request sent by the management and billing platform to the vehicle application after calculating the parking fee, requesting the deduction of the corresponding parking fee.

[0046] Specifically, when the car owner finds the car and intends to drive the car out of the parking lot, pressing the payment button on the car key will trigger the UWB communication module inside the car key, and send the payment instruction to the UWB micro base station closest to the car owner through the UWB data transmission channel. The payment instruction contains the key identification of the car owner. After receiving the payment instruction, the UWB micro base station initiates a payment request to the management and billing platform. The management and billing platform will perform settlement operations and calculate the parking fee of the vehicle based on factors such as the parking time of the vehicle, the charging standards of the parking lot, and the current preferential activities. After the calculation is completed, the management and billing platform will generate a settlement data, which records the vehicle key number, parking fee, parking time, payment status and other information in detail. The management and billing platform generates a deduction instruction based on the settlement data and sends the deduction instruction to the vehicle application through the UWB micro base station. Among them, the function of the UWB communication module is realized by the UWB chip in the car key.

[0047] Step S30: receiving the deduction instruction sent by the parking space management terminal through the vehicle application, performing a deduction operation based on the deduction instruction, and obtaining deduction information.

[0048] It should be noted that deduction information refers to a series of detailed information related to deductions generated by the vehicle application after executing the deduction operation, which usually includes the deduction amount, deduction time, deduction channel and vehicle key number.

[0049] Specifically, the deduction instruction is sent to the vehicle application through the UWB micro base station. After the vehicle application receives the deduction instruction, it performs the deduction operation based on the deduction instruction. On the one hand, the deduction operation can be initiated through the third-party funds deduction channel bound to the vehicle application. On the other hand, the deduction operation can be performed through the electronic funds account of the vehicle application to generate deduction information. The deduction information includes but is not limited to the deduction amount, deduction time, deduction channel and vehicle key number.

[0050] Through the above scheme, this embodiment sends a vehicle search command through the car key, and there is no need to search blindly in the parking lot, which greatly saves time and energy. The parking space management end can quickly respond and return the vehicle location information, so that the car owner can quickly locate and find the vehicle; the vehicle location information is directly displayed on the display screen of the parking space management end, providing the car owner with an intuitive and convenient way to find the car, thereby improving the user experience; through the parking space management end in the parking lot, communication is carried out through the UWB micro base station, and payment can be completed efficiently and conveniently in a parking lot without a network or a weak network, thereby reducing the waiting time at the exit gate.

[0051] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation manner, before the step of sending a car search instruction to the parking space management end through the car key, so that the parking space management end performs a query and positioning operation based on the car search instruction, obtains the vehicle location information of the owner end, and provides the vehicle location information to the target user through the display screen of the parking space management end, the method further includes steps S50 to S60: Step S50: sending the key identification of the vehicle key to the vehicle application.

[0052] It should be noted that the key identification of a car key refers to the car key number, which is a unique identifier of the car key. It is used to distinguish different car keys and ensure that the owner can correctly bind his car key to the vehicle application. The car key number is defined and assigned by the car key manufacturer during the production process and is unique.

[0053] Specifically, the key identification of the vehicle key is sent to the vehicle application through the NFC channel.

[0054] For example, after the car owner logs in to the vehicle application through the mobile phone, turns on the NFC function of the mobile phone, clicks to bind the car key, and brings the car key close to the NFC sensing area of ​​the mobile phone. The car key transmits the car key number to the vehicle application through the NFC channel.

[0055] Step S60, verifying the key identifier through the vehicle application, and when the verification is successful, binding the vehicle key and the vehicle application.

[0056] Specifically, after the vehicle application receives the vehicle key number, the vehicle key number is verified for authenticity, and when the verification is passed, the vehicle key and the vehicle application are bound.

[0057] Exemplarily, after the vehicle application receives the car key number, it verifies the authenticity of the car key number. When the verification is passed, the car key number is displayed in the vehicle application. The owner clicks to confirm the binding to bind the car key and the vehicle application.

[0058] Through the above solution, this embodiment verifies the key identification, and the vehicle application can confirm the legitimacy and validity of the vehicle key, thereby enhancing the safety of the vehicle.

[0059] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, after the step of verifying the key identifier through the vehicle application and binding the vehicle key to the vehicle application when the verification passes, the method further includes S70-S90: Step S70: sending a key identifier to the micro base station system of the parking space management end through the car key. After receiving the key identifier, the micro base station system sends the key identifier to the management and billing platform.

[0060] Specifically, a UWB (ultra-wideband) micro base station is installed on the gate at the entrance of the parking lot to detect whether there are car keys equipped with UWB technology nearby. When the car owner drives the target vehicle to the entrance gate of the parking lot, the UWB micro base station at the entrance gate detects the car keys in the vehicle. It will establish a UWB data transmission channel with the car keys. The car keys send the car key number to the UWB micro base station through this UWB data transmission channel. After receiving the car key number, the UWB micro base station sends the car key number to the management and billing platform.

[0061] Step S80, starting the billing operation based on the key identification through the management and billing platform, sending an opening command to the entrance gate, and controlling the opening of the entrance gate to allow the car owner to enter the parking lot.

[0062] It should be noted that the gate opening instruction is used to control the entrance gate and exit gate of the parking lot to open to allow vehicles to pass.

[0063] Specifically, after receiving the car key number forwarded by the UWB micro base station, the management and billing platform first verifies whether it is a valid registered car key; when the verification is passed, the management and billing platform will start the entry billing process according to the preset billing rules (such as time, car model, member discounts, etc.). At the same time as the billing is started, the management and billing platform will generate a gate opening instruction and send the gate opening instruction to the UWB micro base station installed at the entrance gate. After receiving the gate opening instruction, the UWB micro base station controls the entrance gate at the entrance of the parking lot through its built-in controller or relay and other devices to open, allowing vehicles to enter the parking lot.

[0064] Step S90, when the micro base station system detects that the vehicle owner has stopped, it obtains the vehicle location information of the vehicle owner and sends the vehicle location information to the management and billing platform.

[0065] Specifically, a parking space UWB tag is installed on each parking space in the parking lot. The parking space UWB tag can detect whether there is a vehicle parked in the parking space. When it is detected that the parking space is occupied, the parking space UWB tag will send an occupied signal to the nearest UWB micro base station, informing the parking space management end that the parking space has been occupied by a vehicle.

[0066] Furthermore, when the micro base station system detects that the vehicle belonging to the owner has stopped, the parking space UWB tag on the target parking space detects that there is a parked vehicle in the target parking space, and sends the information that the target parking space is occupied to the UWB micro base station closest to the parking space through the parking space UWB tag. When the parking space UWB tag detects multiple car keys near the target parking space, the car key closest to the parking space UWB tag is selected as the target car key bound to the target parking space. The UWB micro base station closest to the parking space sends a record request instruction to the target car key, requesting the target car key to send the car key number. After receiving the record request instruction, the target car key uploads the car key number to the UWB micro base station through the UWB data transmission channel. After receiving the car key number of the target car key, the UWB micro base station binds the car key number to the target parking space, generates the vehicle location information of the owner of the target car key, and sends the vehicle location information to the management and billing platform for storage and management.

[0067] Through the above solution, this embodiment can detect the parking state of the owner in real time through the micro base station system and obtain the vehicle location information, which helps the parking lot manager to understand the parking situation of the vehicle at any time, optimize the allocation of parking spaces, and improve the utilization rate of the parking lot.

[0068] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, when the micro base station system detects that the vehicle owner has stopped, obtaining the vehicle location information of the vehicle owner, and sending the vehicle location information to the management and billing platform includes steps S91 to S93: Step S91, when the micro base station system detects that the vehicle owner has stopped moving, the parking position of the vehicle owner is acquired to obtain the parking information of the vehicle owner.

[0069] Specifically, when the micro base station system detects that the vehicle owned by the owner has stopped, the parking space UWB tag on the target parking space detects that there is a parked vehicle in the target parking space, and sends the information that the target parking space is occupied to the UWB micro base station closest to the parking space through the parking space UWB tag. At the same time, the UWB micro base station obtains the parking position of the parking space and obtains the location information of the parking space, which includes but is not limited to the parking space floor, parking space partition and parking space number.

[0070] Step S92, sending a record request instruction to the vehicle owner terminal based on the parking information, and the vehicle owner terminal responds to the record request instruction through the vehicle key to generate base station record data, wherein the base station record data includes a key identifier of the vehicle key.

[0071] Specifically, when the parking space UWB tag detects multiple car keys near the target parking space, the car key closest to the parking space UWB tag is selected as the target car key to be bound to the target parking space. A record request instruction is sent to the target car key through the UWB micro base station closest to the parking space, requesting the target car key to send the car key number. After receiving the record request instruction, the target car key generates base station record data in response to the record request instruction, and the base station record data includes the key identification of the car key, and the base station record data is uploaded to the UWB micro base station through the UWB data transmission channel.

[0072] Step S93, the key identification and the parking information are integrated and processed through the micro base station system to obtain the vehicle location information of the car owner, and the management and billing platform manages the vehicle and calculates the fees for the car owner based on the vehicle location information.

[0073] Specifically, after receiving the car key number of the target car key, the UWB micro base station binds the car key number and the target parking space, generates the vehicle location information of the owner to whom the target car key belongs, and manages the vehicle and calculates the fees for the owner based on the vehicle location information through the management and billing platform.

[0074] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, the receiving of the deduction instruction sent by the parking space management terminal through the vehicle application, performing a deduction operation based on the deduction instruction, and obtaining the deduction information include steps S31-S32: Step S31, when the vehicle application receives the deduction instruction, it performs the deduction operation and generates the deduction information of the vehicle owner.

[0075] Specifically, after completing the settlement of the target vehicle on the owner's side, the management and billing platform generates a deduction instruction and requests the vehicle application to settle the deduction. When the vehicle application receives the deduction instruction, it deducts the money through the third-party fund deduction channel bound to the vehicle application or the electronic wallet of the vehicle application. After the deduction is successful, the vehicle application generates deduction information based on the result of the successful deduction.

[0076] Step S32: sending the deduction information to the management and billing platform, so that the management and billing platform deletes the vehicle location information in the management and billing platform based on the deduction information.

[0077] Specifically, the vehicle application sends the deduction information to the UWB micro base station that is closest to the car key. After receiving the deduction information, the UWB micro base station forwards the deduction information to the management and computing platform. After receiving the deduction information, the management and computing platform deletes the binding information of the parking space and the car key number in the stored vehicle location information, freeing up the parking space for subsequent vehicles to use the parking space.

[0078] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, the parking lot vehicle search method is applied to a parking space management terminal, the parking space management terminal includes a micro base station system, a display screen, and a management and billing platform, and the method includes steps S10'~S30': Step S10', receiving a vehicle search instruction sent by the car key of the car owner, performing a query and positioning operation based on the vehicle search instruction, obtaining the vehicle location information of the car owner, and providing the vehicle location information of the car owner to the target user through the display screen.

[0079] Specifically, when the user wants to drive the target vehicle out of the parking lot, he presses the car search button of the car key, and sends a car search instruction to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key through the car key. The car search instruction contains at least the car key number of the car key, and the car search instruction is sent to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key through the UWB data transmission channel. After receiving the car search instruction, the UWB micro base station forwards the car search instruction to the management and billing platform, and queries the vehicle location information bound to the car key number in the management and billing platform based on the car key number of the car key. After the management and billing platform queries the vehicle location information of the owner, it sends the vehicle location information to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key, and the UWB micro base station sends the vehicle location information to the display screen installed together, and displays the vehicle location information on the display screen to provide the information to the target user.

[0080] Step S20', receiving the payment instruction sent by the car key of the car owner, performing a settlement operation based on the payment instruction, obtaining the settlement data of the car owner, and generating a deduction instruction based on the settlement data.

[0081] Specifically, when the car owner finds the car and intends to drive the car out of the parking lot, he sends a payment instruction to the UWB micro base station closest to the car owner through the car key. The payment instruction contains the car key number of the car owner. After receiving the payment instruction, the UWB micro base station initiates a payment request to the management and billing platform. The management and billing platform will perform settlement operations and calculate the parking fee of the vehicle based on factors such as the parking time of the vehicle, the parking lot's charging standards, and current preferential activities. After the calculation is completed, the management and billing platform will generate a settlement data, which records in detail the vehicle's car key number, parking fee, parking time, payment status and other information.

[0082] Step S30', sending the deduction instruction to the vehicle application of the vehicle owner, and performing a deduction operation according to the deduction instruction through the vehicle application to obtain deduction information.

[0083] Specifically, the management and billing platform generates a deduction instruction based on the settlement data, and sends the deduction instruction to the vehicle application through the UWB micro base station. After receiving the deduction instruction, the vehicle application performs a deduction operation based on the deduction instruction and generates deduction information for the owner.

[0084] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, the receiving of the vehicle search instruction sent by the car key of the car owner, performing a query and positioning operation based on the vehicle search instruction, obtaining the vehicle location information of the car owner, and providing the vehicle location information of the car owner to the target user through the display screen includes steps S11'~S13': Step S11': receiving the vehicle search instruction sent by the vehicle key through the micro base station system, and sending the vehicle search instruction to the management and billing platform.

[0085] Specifically, the target user sends a car search instruction to the UWB micro base station that is closest to the car key through the car key. After receiving the car search instruction, the UWB micro base station forwards the car search instruction to the management and billing platform.

[0086] Step S12', receiving the vehicle search instruction through the management and billing platform, and querying the vehicle location information of the owner terminal based on the key identification in the vehicle search instruction.

[0087] Specifically, the management and billing platform receives the vehicle search instruction sent by the UWB micro base station, and queries the vehicle location information bound to the car key number in the management and billing platform based on the car key number of the car key. The vehicle location information includes but is not limited to the car key number, parking space floor, parking space partition and parking space number.

[0088] Step S13', sending the vehicle location information to the display screen, and providing the vehicle location information of the vehicle owner end to the target user through the display screen.

[0089] Specifically, after the management and billing platform queries the vehicle location information of the car owner, it sends the vehicle location information to the UWB micro base station closest to the car key, and the vehicle location information is sent to the display screen installed together through the UWB micro base station. The vehicle location information is displayed on the display screen to provide the information to the target user.

[0090] Based on the above implementation scheme, in a feasible implementation scheme, after the step of sending the deduction instruction to the vehicle application of the vehicle owner, performing a deduction operation according to the deduction instruction by the vehicle application, and obtaining the deduction information, the steps further include steps S40' to S50': Step S40': when the micro base station system detects that the car owner has arrived at the exit gate, the management and billing platform queries the deduction information of the car owner according to the key identification of the car key.

[0091] Specifically, a UWB micro base station is installed at the exit of the parking lot. When the car owner drives the target vehicle to the exit gate of the parking lot, the UWB micro base station at the exit gate detects the car key in the vehicle, and it will establish a UWB data transmission channel with the car key. The car key sends the car key number to the UWB micro base station through this UWB data transmission channel. After receiving the car key number, the UWB micro base station obtains the payment information of the target vehicle bound to the car key from the management and billing platform based on the car key number.

[0092] Step S50', when the deduction result in the deduction information is that the deduction is successful, sending an opening command to the exit gate to control the opening of the exit gate to allow the vehicle owner to leave the parking lot.

[0093] Specifically, when the deduction result of the deduction information in the management and billing platform is that the deduction is successful, the management and billing platform generates a gate opening instruction and sends the gate opening instruction to the UWB micro base station installed at the exit gate. After receiving the gate opening instruction, the UWB micro base station controls the exit gate at the parking lot exit to open through its built-in controller or relay and other devices, allowing vehicles to leave the parking lot.
