[0043] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of a method for paying parking fees for vehicles in the event of a parking lot network failure in some specific embodiments of the present invention;

[0044] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a vehicle parking fee payment passage device in the event of a parking lot network failure according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following examples further illustrate the content of the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and substance of the present invention, modifications or substitutions made to the methods, steps or conditions of the present invention all fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, on the one hand, a method for paying for parking fees of vehicles in the case of a parking lot network failure is proposed, and the first service end (at least including the service end of the parking lot) includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S10: charging the vehicle in offline mode and generating an offline bill, wherein the offline bill at least includes a charging result and an account number;

[0049] Step S11: sending the billing result and the account number to the first client;

[0050] For example, when a vehicle arrives at the exit, the parking lot charges the vehicle in offline mode, generates an offline bill, displays the billing result and bill number in the form of a dynamic QR code on the exit screen, and prompts the user to open Alipay or WeChat on their mobile phone to scan the QR code.

[0051] Wherein, step S12: when the network is in online mode, the offline bill is sent to the cloud.

[0052] For example, when the network is normal, the parking lot will synchronize the offline bill to the cloud, and the cloud will reconcile the offline bill with the payment result. After the reconciliation is successful, the offline bill status will be updated to paid.

[0053] The first server also includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S20: receiving payment success information, and sending a lever lifting control instruction to the first client.

[0055] For example, after the offline parking lot receives a successful payment message, it will automatically lift the barrier and the vehicle will leave the lot.

[0056] The first client (including at least the entrance and exit screen and the parking lot entrance and exit pole terminal) includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S30: receiving the billing result and the account number;

[0058] Step S31: Generate dynamic QR code information based on the billing result and the account number.

[0059] For example, the billing results and bill numbers are displayed on the exit screen in the form of a dynamic QR code, and the user is prompted to open Alipay or WeChat on the mobile phone to scan the QR code.

[0060] The first client (parking lot access pole terminal) also includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S40: receiving a lever lifting control instruction and allowing the vehicle to pass.

[0062] The cloud includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S50: receiving an offline bill;

[0064] Step S51: reconcile the offline bill and the payment result. After successful reconciliation, update the offline bill status to paid.

[0065] For example, when the network is normal, the parking lot will synchronize the offline bill to the cloud, and the cloud will reconcile the offline bill with the payment result. After the reconciliation is successful, the offline bill status will be updated to paid.

[0066] On the other hand, a method for paying for parking fees in the event of a parking lot network failure is proposed. The second server (at least including the parking system applet server) includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S60: Analyze the scanned QR code data to determine whether it is a dynamic QR code or a static QR code, wherein:

[0068] Step S600: If it is a dynamic QR code, obtain at least the parking lot ID and channel ID;

[0069] Step S601: querying the Bluetooth device name based on the parking lot ID and the channel ID;

[0070] Step S602: Send the Bluetooth device name to the second client.

[0071] For example, after the user scans the QR code, the user will automatically jump to the parking system applet. The applet parses the encrypted QR code data and parses it into: #parking lot ID#channel ID#license plate number#license plate color#start time#end time#parking fee#offline bill number. The parking system applet queries the channel output Bluetooth device name in the system based on the parking lot ID and channel ID, and connects to the exit channel Bluetooth through the user's mobile phone. After the connection is successful, it will send a payment message to the offline parking lot, and the exit screen will display payment. At this time, the user can make an online payment.

[0072] Step S610: If it is a static QR code, associate the payment record to determine whether the user has paid in advance;

[0073] Step S611: If the user pays the parking fee in advance, the payment success information is sent to the first server.

[0074] For example, if the vehicle has scanned the static QR code in the parking lot to pay before reaching the exit, then when "the parking system applet queries the channel exit Bluetooth device name in the system according to the parking lot ID and channel ID, and connects to the exit channel Bluetooth through the user's mobile phone. After the connection is successful, it will send a payment in progress message to the offline parking lot, and the exit screen will display payment in progress", the parking system applet will automatically associate the user's previous payment records to determine whether the user has paid in advance. If the user has paid, the exit screen will display payment success, skipping "users can make online payments at this time", and the vehicle will directly lift the barrier to exit.

[0075] The second server also includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S70: receiving fee payment information and determining whether the parking fee is paid successfully; wherein, step S71: if the parking fee is paid successfully, sending payment success information to the first server via the Bluetooth device.

[0077] For example, after the payment is successful, the parking system applet sends the encrypted payment success message (#parking lot ID#channel ID#license plate number#offline bill number#cloud bill number#payment result) to the offline parking lot via Bluetooth.

[0078] The second client (mobile phone) includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S80: Scan the QR code information of the first client;

[0080] Step S81: Send the two-dimensional code information to the second server; wherein the two-dimensional code information includes a static two-dimensional code and a dynamic two-dimensional code.

[0081] For example, one is: when the vehicle arrives at the exit, the parking lot charges the vehicle in offline mode, generates an offline bill, displays the billing result and bill number in the form of a dynamic QR code on the exit screen, and prompts the user to open Alipay or WeChat on the phone to scan the QR code. Second, if the vehicle has scanned the static QR code in the parking lot to pay before arriving at the exit, the parking system applet will automatically associate the user's previous payment record to determine whether the user has paid in advance. If the user has paid, the exit screen will show that the payment is successful, and the vehicle will directly lift the barrier to exit.

[0082] The second client also includes the following steps:

[0083] Step S90: receiving the Bluetooth device name;

[0084] Step S91: establishing a connection with a Bluetooth device corresponding to the Bluetooth device name based on the Bluetooth device name;

[0085] Step S92: Scan the code to pay online, and send the payment information to the second server through the Bluetooth device.

[0086] For example, the parking system applet queries the channel exit Bluetooth device name in the system according to the parking lot ID and channel ID, and connects to the exit channel Bluetooth through the user's mobile phone. After the connection is successful, it will send a payment message to the offline parking lot, and the exit screen will display payment.

[0087] Embodiment 2:

[0088] The present invention provides a solution for realizing automatic payment of parking fees and release of vehicles in case of network failure.

[0089] The whole process mainly involves the following key steps: License plate recognition: When the vehicle is about to leave the parking lot and arrives at the exit channel, the license plate number is automatically scanned and identified by the device. Generate dynamic charging QR code: When the parking lot system (at least including the first server, the first client and the second server) is in offline mode, the parking fee is calculated according to the parking time of the vehicle and other information, and a dynamic charging QR code containing encrypted information such as the charging amount, parking time, license plate number, parking lot number, and channel number is generated. Mobile payment: The owner uses a smart phone to connect to the Internet and use applications such as WeChat or Alipay to scan the QR code for payment. Bluetooth communication release: After the payment is successful, the payment application searches for the corresponding channel Bluetooth name according to the parking lot number and channel number, and sends the payment result (such as bill number, etc.) to the device of the exit channel through Bluetooth technology. After verifying the payment result, the channel device performs the offline release operation. Reconciliation operation: After the parking lot restores the network connection, it will reconcile the offline payment bill generated during the period with the cloud bill to ensure the correctness and integrity of the transaction.

[0090] Glossary:

[0091] Parking lot network disconnection: The network of the internal equipment in the parking lot cannot connect to the Internet, but the mobile network of the car owner is not affected.

[0092] Exit screen: A screen placed at the exit of the parking lot that displays the vehicle's exit information when the vehicle leaves the lot.
