[0002] With labor costs rising year by year, the trend toward unmanned parking is replacing manual toll collection. Parking lots across the country are gradually undergoing intelligent upgrades. These upgraded parking lots use cameras to accurately identify features such as license plates, vehicle types, vehicle faces, and windows, enabling unmanned parking.

[0003] However, due to uncontrollable factors such as the surrounding roads, weather, vehicle entry and exit angles, and recognition algorithms, achieving 100% recognition accuracy is impossible. In the event of a matching failure, such as a recognition error or missed shot, the situation must be reported to the cloud parking on-site monitoring platform, where personnel quickly select and bill the vehicle. This increases labor costs and reduces the level of intelligence in unmanned parking systems. Furthermore, if human intervention is not timely, the normal departure of the vehicle will be significantly impacted. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] Figure 4 It is a structural diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In existing technology, when a vehicle exits a parking lot, a recognition camera first matches the vehicle based on the license plate number. If the license plate number match fails, a mismatch is performed based on the license plate number. If a single vehicle is matched, the vehicle is charged based on its entry information. If multiple vehicles are matched, further matching is performed based on the vehicle model, series, and vehicle logo. If a single vehicle is matched, the vehicle is charged based on its entry information. If multiple vehicles are matched, the vehicle is reported to the cloud parking manual on-site platform and an alarm is generated. On-site personnel can quickly select and charge the vehicle. This increases labor costs and reduces the level of intelligent fee management in unmanned parking lots. If human intervention is not timely, the parking lot exit will be congested for a long time, significantly affecting the normal departure of vehicles and reducing the user experience.

[0041] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a parking lot fee management method, which is applied to a parking platform. Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the parking fee management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] Step 110: If the matching of the vehicle to be departed fails, obtain the vehicle information of the vehicle to be departed sent by the user terminal.

[0043] Specifically, when the parking platform identifies the leaving vehicle based on the license plate recognition algorithm and there are problems such as recognition errors or missed shots, resulting in failure to match the leaving vehicle, the user is prompted to fill in the vehicle information of the leaving vehicle on the user terminal and send the vehicle information to the parking platform, so that the parking platform can further match the captured image based on the vehicle information.

[0044] Optionally, the above-mentioned vehicle information includes at least one of vehicle characteristics and entry time period, wherein the vehicle characteristics may include: license plate number, vehicle color, license plate color and vehicle type, etc. The entry time period is a time period including a specific year, month and day. The specific year, month and day and the time period can be separated by a separator, and the separator can be any one of the symbols such as "-", "." and " " or a combination of at least two. The present invention does not limit the type of separator, nor does it limit the format of the entry time period. For example, the entry time period filled in by the user can be "2023-06-29-08:00-2023-06-29-08:30", and the specific year, month and day and the time period are separated by "-". In addition, it can also be "2023.06.2908:00-2023.06.29 08:30", and a combination of "-", "." and " " are used to separate them. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0045] Optionally, if the exiting vehicle fails to match the entry information, the parking platform can control the prompt device installed at the exit of the parking lot to prompt the user to scan the code and fill in the vehicle information. If audio and video equipment is installed at the exit of the parking lot, the user can be prompted by playing a prompt video and / or a prompt voice. The audio and video equipment may include a speaker, a video surveillance device equipped with a speaker, a smart speaker, and a smart display screen, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. If an LED display screen is installed at the exit of the parking lot, the generated prompt information can be displayed by turning on and off the LED beads to prompt the user.

[0046] Optionally, when performing license plate recognition, the aforementioned license plate recognition algorithm may utilize a license plate positioning algorithm to locate the license plate from a dynamic video or static image of the vehicle. The characters in the license plate are then segmented, and the segmented license plate image is recognized using an optical character recognition algorithm to generate the license plate number for output. The license plate positioning algorithm may include, but is not limited to, methods such as gradient information projection statistics, wavelet transform segmentation, license plate region scanning and connection algorithms, and methods for training classifiers using regional characteristics.

[0047] It should be noted that the aforementioned parking platform manages the recognition cameras at parking lot entrances and exits, processes the data reported by each camera, and implements parking lot operations and parking fees. The aforementioned user terminals are mobile terminals for vehicle owners, including mobile apps (applications), mini-programs, and official accounts, and are used to interact with the parking platform and complete payment and exit.

[0048] Step 120: Determine at least one vehicle identification result of the vehicle to be departing based on the vehicle information.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of the parking fee management method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, after obtaining the vehicle information submitted by the user, the parking platform first expands the entry range according to the entry period from the time dimension, and filters out the data of vehicles that have not exited the parking lot. That is, the earliest entry time in the entry period is subtracted from the second preset threshold, and the latest entry time in the entry period is added to the second preset threshold. The obtained entry range to be matched is expanded, and the data of vehicles that have not exited the parking lot are obtained by matching based on the entry range to be matched. For example, if the entry time period is "2023-06-29-08:00-2023-06-29-08:30" and the second preset threshold is 0.5 hours, 0.5 hours is subtracted from the earliest entry time "2023-06-29-08:00" to obtain the upper limit of the matching entry range as "2023-06-29-07:30". 0.5 hours is added to the latest entry time "2023-06-29-08:30" to obtain the lower limit of the matching entry range as "2023-06-29-09:00". Matching is then performed based on this matching entry range, significantly increasing the amount of data for vehicles that have not yet exited the venue.

[0050] After matching the vehicle data that has not yet exited, further matching can be performed based on vehicle characteristics within the vehicle data to narrow the matching range and improve matching accuracy and efficiency. When matching based on vehicle characteristics, if the vehicle characteristics transmitted by the user terminal include the license plate number, a mismatching match based on the license plate number can be prioritized. By expanding the mismatching range, multiple mismatching results can be obtained for the vehicle to be departed. Based on other vehicle characteristics, such as vehicle color, license plate color, and vehicle type, at least one vehicle identification result for the vehicle to be departed can be determined from the multiple mismatching results. If the vehicle characteristics transmitted by the user terminal do not include the license plate number, at least one vehicle identification result for the vehicle to be departed can be determined from the vehicle data that has not yet exited based on other vehicle characteristics. This at least one vehicle identification result is N similar approaching images, where N represents an integer greater than or equal to 1. These N similar approaching images are transmitted to the user terminal to facilitate user confirmation of the vehicle to be departed.

[0051] Optionally, in the license plate number, except for the first Chinese character abbreviation used, which is the abbreviation of the province, the letters after the Chinese characters represent the primary code of the city, and the five digits after the letters can be numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. When performing wrong license plate matching, based on the more accurate license plate number submitted by the user, any x-digit original number is reset to a misplaced number to obtain a wrong license plate number, and the entry information is matched according to the wrong license plate number, where x is the first preset threshold, which is used to indicate the maximum number of digits to reset the number when matching the wrong license plate. When setting the misplaced number, the alphabetical number can be reset to an alphabetical number or a digital number, or the data number can be reset to an alphabetical number or a digital number, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this. When the misplaced number and the original number are of the same type, the embodiment of the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the difference between the misplaced number and the original number, as long as the regulations of the license plate number are met. For example, if x=1, and the license plate number provided by the user is Jin AH0A03, the last digit 3 can be reset to the misplaced digit 8, resulting in a misplaced license plate number Jin AH0A08. The captured image is matched based on this misplaced license plate number Jin AH0A08. For example, if x=2, the letter A after the Chinese character can be reset to the misplaced digit B, and the last digit 3 can be reset to the misplaced digit 2, resulting in a misplaced license plate number Jin BH0A02. The captured image is matched based on this misplaced license plate number Jin BH0A02.

[0052] In addition, when performing wrong license plate matching, in order to ensure matching efficiency, a preset number of matches can be determined. When the preset number of matches is reached, further matching is performed based on the vehicle color, vehicle type, and entry time in the license plate information to further narrow the range of vehicle recognition results in multiple matching images.

[0053] Step 130: Receive a vehicle selection result determined based on the at least one vehicle identification result and sent by the user terminal, and determine parking order information based on the vehicle selection result and the at least one vehicle identification result.

[0054] Specifically, after a user determines a vehicle selection result based on at least one vehicle identification result, there are two possible scenarios: the first being that the user selects one of the vehicle identification results as the vehicle selection result; and the second being that the user does not select a vehicle from the at least one vehicle identification result, meaning that the at least one vehicle identification result does not contain a vehicle to be departed corresponding to the user. In this case, parking order information for the vehicle to be departed can be generated based on whether the vehicle selection result matches one of the two matching results of the at least one vehicle identification result.

[0055] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, determining parking order information based on the vehicle selection result and the at least one vehicle identification result includes:

[0056] Determining entry and exit information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed based on a matching result of the vehicle selection result and the at least one vehicle identification result;

[0057] The parking order information is determined based on the entry and exit information.

[0058] Specifically, based on whether the vehicle selection result matches one of the two matching results for at least one vehicle identification result, entry and exit information for the departing vehicle corresponding to the different matching results is generated. This entry and exit information can be used to determine the parking duration of the departing vehicle. Combined with the parking fee schedule of the parking lot, parking order information can be generated. This parking order information includes the parking fee, entry and exit information, and matching information for the vehicle selection result. This matching information may include the license plate number, vehicle color, and vehicle type. In the first case, this matching information can be determined based on the image features of the entry image corresponding to the vehicle selection result; in the second case, this matching information can also be determined based on vehicle information provided by the user.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the determining of the entry and exit information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed based on the matching result of the vehicle selection result and the at least one vehicle identification result includes:

[0060] If the vehicle selection result corresponds to the at least one vehicle identification result, determining entry and exit information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed based on the vehicle selection result;

[0061] In a case where the vehicle selection result does not belong to the at least one vehicle identification result, entry and exit information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed is determined based on the current time and a lower limit value in the entry time period.

[0062] Specifically, after the user determines the vehicle selection result based on at least one vehicle identification result, when the first situation exists, that is, when the user selects one of the vehicle identification results from at least one vehicle identification result as the vehicle selection result, the shooting time is determined from the vehicle selection result, and the shooting time is used as the entry information, and the current time is used as the exit information, so as to determine the entry and exit information of the vehicle to be departing.

[0063] Furthermore, after the user determines the vehicle selection result based on at least one vehicle identification result, if the user does not select one of the at least one vehicle identification results as the vehicle selection result, this indicates that a departing vehicle may have been missed entering the vehicle. To avoid disrupting the user's normal travel, the lower limit of the entry time period is determined as the entry information for the departing vehicle based on the vehicle information provided by the user. The lower limit of the entry time period is the latest entry time within the entry time period. For example, if the entry time period is "2023-06-29-08:00-2023-06-29-08:30," "2023-06-29-08:30" is determined as the entry information for the departing vehicle. Simultaneously, the current time is used as the exit information to determine the entry and exit information for the departing vehicle.

[0064] Optionally, if the vehicle selection or identification results include an approach image captured when the vehicle enters the venue, the capture time of the approach image can be obtained by reading the Exif information of the approach image. The Exif information includes information such as the capture time, device information, capture location, and exposure parameters. The capture time of the approach image can also be obtained by calling the API of the corresponding photo management software.

[0065] Optionally, the entry and exit information may also include the vehicle type, so as to determine different charging standards according to different vehicle types.

[0066] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, after the parking order information is confirmed, it can be sent to the user terminal for confirmation. After the user confirms the parking order information and pays the parking fee, self-service exit information can be generated. This self-service exit information is used to control the raising and lowering of the barrier at the parking lot exit. After the self-service exit information is generated, it can be sent to the camera terminal, which controls the raising of the barrier to facilitate the departure of the vehicle to be departed. After the vehicle to be departed leaves the parking lot, the barrier is controlled to be lowered, realizing intelligent management of unmanned parking lots.

[0067] Optionally, the camera terminal may be a control terminal corresponding to the recognition camera. The control terminal may be integrated with the recognition camera or may be provided separately from the recognition camera, as long as the recognition camera and the control terminal are in communication connection.

[0068] Furthermore, the method further comprises:

[0069] Sending the parking order information to a management terminal, wherein the management terminal is used to display the parking order information;

[0070] Determining the abnormal state corresponding to the vehicle to be departed based on the order confirmation result sent by the management terminal;

[0071] Based on the abnormal state, parking instruction information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot is determined.

[0072] Specifically, when a user fills in vehicle information, there may be situations where losses are caused by subjective errors made by the user. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, after the user confirms the parking order information, the parking order information is treated as a pending abnormal departure record, and the abnormal departure record is sent to the management terminal for display. The parking lot administrator identifies the parking order information based on the snapshot image of the abnormal departure corresponding to the parking order information, confirms the order confirmation result corresponding to the parking order information, that is, confirms whether the parking order information is a normal order or an abnormal order, and determines the abnormal status of the vehicle to be left based on the order confirmation result. That is, if the order confirmation result is abnormal, the parking order information is an abnormal order, and further determines whether the vehicle to be left is in a fee recovery state or a blacklist state. Based on different abnormal states, the parking instruction information for the vehicle to be left when it enters the parking lot next time can be determined to compensate for the user's subjective incorrect vehicle information filling operation and avoid causing greater losses.

[0073] Optionally, after the parking lot manager determines the target entry and exit information based on the captured images of the entry and exit, the actual parking fee corresponding to the vehicle to be left can be determined. Based on the difference between the actual parking fee and the parking fee in the parking order information, the recovery fee can be determined. Based on the comparison of the recovery fee with the first preset threshold for fee evasion, the abnormal state of the vehicle to be left can be determined. For example, if the recovery fee is less than the first preset threshold for fee evasion, the abnormal state of the vehicle to be left is determined as a recovery fee state. If the recovery fee is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold for fee evasion, the abnormal state of the vehicle to be left is determined as a blacklist state.

[0074] Furthermore, the determining, based on the abnormal state, parking instruction information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot includes:

[0075] If the abnormal state is a fee recovery state, generating next entry instruction information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed, and obtaining abnormal entry information sent by the management terminal;

[0076] Based on the abnormal entry information, update the entry and exit information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed;

[0077] Determining the fee recovery information for the vehicle to be left based on the updated entry and exit information and the parking order information;

[0078] The parking instruction information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot is determined based on the next entry instruction information, the fee recovery information and the next parking order information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot.

[0079] Specifically, when the abnormal status is a fee collection state, next-entry instruction information corresponding to the vehicle to be departed is generated. This means that the next time the vehicle to be departed enters the parking lot, it can enter normally. The entry information in the original entry / exit information is updated based on the abnormal entry information sent by the management terminal, and the actual parking fee is determined based on the updated entry / exit information. Subsequently, the fee collection information for the vehicle to be departed is determined based on the actual parking fee and the parking fee in the original parking order information. The next time the vehicle to be departed enters the parking lot, it can enter normally based on the next-entry instruction information. However, when the vehicle leaves the parking lot and the next parking order information is determined, the parking fee is the sum of the fee collection information and the next parking fee, compensating for losses caused by the user's subjective input of incorrect vehicle information. The user can control the barrier to raise and release the vehicle only after payment.

[0080] Furthermore, the determining, based on the abnormal state, parking instruction information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot includes:

[0081] In a case where the abnormal state is a blacklist state, it is determined that the parking instruction information corresponding to the next entry of the vehicle to be departed into the parking lot is prohibited entry instruction information.

[0082] Specifically, when the abnormal status is the blacklist status, it indicates that the recovery fee for the vehicle to be left is too high. In order to avoid subsequent losses, the parking instruction information generated is a prohibited entry instruction information, that is, when the vehicle to be left enters the parking lot next time, it will be identified as the vehicle to be left based on the captured image at the time of entry, and the vehicle to be left will be prohibited from entering the parking lot again.

[0083] In addition, when the user selects a vehicle selection result based on at least one vehicle identification result, due to the possibility of a user selection error, the user strongly matches the entry information of other vehicles with the vehicle to be leaving. The strong match is used to indicate that the license plate number, license plate color and vehicle color are the same, and other vehicles cannot match the entry information when leaving. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the entry information is weakly matched with the vehicle to be leaving, that is, only the entry information is marked as abnormal. When other vehicles leave the site, a match is performed from all the entry information, and other vehicles can still match the entry information. After re-association and billing, other vehicles leaving the site later are allowed to leave normally after paying the fee.

[0084] Optionally, the parking lot manager may manually clear the abnormal marks regularly or set a timeout for automatic clearing, for example, automatically cancel the abnormal marks after more than 90 days.

[0085] The parking lot fee management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention responds to user operations and obtains vehicle information of the vehicle to be left sent by the user terminal when the matching of the vehicle to be left fails. Based on the vehicle information, the identification range is narrowed to improve the matching accuracy and matching efficiency of multiple vehicle identification results, and the multiple vehicle identification results are sent to the user terminal. After the user determines the vehicle selection result based on the multiple vehicle identification results, the parking order information is determined, and based on the parking order information, the self-service departure information of the vehicle to be left is determined. Through interaction with the user terminal, manual intervention is avoided, labor costs are greatly reduced, and the intelligence level of fee management in unmanned parking lots is improved.

[0087] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a parking lot fee management device, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a parking lot fee management device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
