[0066] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0067] The present invention discloses a method and system for querying vehicle-related information, as well as a parking management system application. These methods facilitate vehicle owners to set their parking information query permissions through the parking management system application, displaying the relevant parking information of the vehicle based on the query permissions, and effectively improving the security of vehicle parking-related information (such as the time of vehicle entry and exit, parking duration, and payable fees), thereby better protecting the privacy of vehicle owners and improving the user experience of vehicle users (especially vehicle owners). These methods are described in detail below.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for querying vehicle-related information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1The described method for querying vehicle-related information is applied to a parking management system, which includes at least a user terminal and a cloud platform. It should be noted that the user terminal does not specifically refer to a certain user terminal, nor does it specifically refer to a certain type of user terminal (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc.), but refers to any terminal that can be used by vehicle-related personnel (such as car owners) to log in to the parking management system application, including but not limited to smartphones (Android phones, iOS phones, etc.), smart phone watches, tablet computers, PDAs, car computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile Internet devices (MIDs), service terminals set up in parking scenes, etc. Optionally, the way for vehicle-related personnel (such as car owners) to log in to the parking management system application includes but is not limited to logging in through an App, logging in through a mini-program, or logging in through a web page, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-related information query method may include the following operations:

[0070] 101. The vehicle owner uses the user terminal to authenticate the license plate information.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the owner of a vehicle can be the owner of the vehicle (i.e., the owner of the vehicle) or another person associated with the owner of the vehicle, with the former being preferred. Furthermore, the other person associated with the owner of the vehicle can be understood as a person authorized by the owner of the vehicle, such as a family member or friend authorized by the owner of the vehicle, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the owner of a vehicle has a requirement to set vehicle information query authority, or a requirement to query vehicle information query authority, or a requirement to adjust vehicle information query authority, the owner of the vehicle can first authenticate the license plate information through the user terminal to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the aforementioned requirements.

[0073] 102. The user terminal outputs a vehicle information display setting interface; wherein the vehicle information display setting interface displays a vehicle information query permission setting control.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a vehicle owner authenticates the license plate information through a user terminal and the authentication is successful, the user terminal outputs a vehicle information display setting interface, and the vehicle information display setting interface displays operation controls corresponding to vehicle information query permissions. The operation controls may include a combination of one or more of a vehicle information query permission setting control, a vehicle information query permission query control, and a vehicle information query permission adjustment control. Preferably, the operation controls corresponding to the vehicle information query permission include at least a vehicle information query permission setting control.

[0075] 103. The vehicle owner operates the vehicle information query permission setting control to set the target query permission for querying the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the user terminal outputs the vehicle information display setting interface, the vehicle owner can set the query permission for the relevant vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle by operating the vehicle information query permission setting control displayed on the vehicle information display setting interface, thereby improving the convenience of setting the vehicle information query permission and facilitating the vehicle owner to set the vehicle information query permission anytime and anywhere. Optionally, when the vehicle owner operates the corresponding control to set the target query permission for the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle, the user terminal can collect the operations triggered by the vehicle owner for the vehicle information query permission setting control, determine the target query permission set by the vehicle owner based on the collected operations, and after determining the target query permission, save the target query permission and / or upload the target query permission to the cloud platform, which will correspondingly save the target query permission corresponding to the vehicle information of the aforementioned vehicle; or, after collecting the operations triggered by the vehicle owner for the vehicle information query permission setting control, the user terminal provides the collected operations to the cloud platform, which will determine the target query permission set by the vehicle owner based on the operations and correspondingly save the target query permission corresponding to the vehicle information of the aforementioned vehicle. Further optionally, when the user end provides the determined target query authority or the collected operations triggered by the owner's setting controls for vehicle information query authority to the cloud platform, it can also provide the vehicle identification (such as license plate number) uniquely corresponding to the corresponding vehicle, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the target query authority corresponding to the vehicle information of the aforementioned vehicle stored by the cloud platform, and thus helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of vehicle information queries while improving the security of vehicle information.

[0077] Optionally, the target query permission is used to indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle. Furthermore, when privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information, the target information can be viewed by others. Others are anyone other than the vehicle owner. This helps protect the vehicle owner's parking privacy and prevents others from accessing parking information that the vehicle owner does not wish to be viewed through the license plate number.

[0078] Further optionally, the target query permission can be specifically used to indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information in one or certain parking scenarios, and the target information that others are allowed to view when privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information in one or certain parking scenarios. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for the vehicle information in corresponding parking scenarios (such as non-work parking scenarios); or, the target query permissions can also be used to specifically indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information in one or more time periods, and, when privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information, the target information that others are allowed to view when querying within the aforementioned one or more time periods. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for vehicle information in corresponding time periods; or, when privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information in one or more parking scenarios, the target information that others are allowed to view when querying within the aforementioned one or more time periods. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for vehicle information in corresponding parking scenarios within corresponding time periods. This can increase the diversity and flexibility of setting vehicle information query permissions.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, vehicle information may include one or more of the following: parking space information, parking duration, time the vehicle entered the parking space, and fees payable. The target information that can be viewed by others may include one or more of the following: parking space information, parking duration, time the vehicle entered the parking space, and fees payable, and is specifically set by the vehicle owner based on actual needs. Optionally, the parking space information may include the location of the parking lot and / or the specific parking space in the parking lot.

[0080] Optionally, the specific target query permission set by the car owner can be one of the following permissions. The corresponding interface diagram can also be found in Figure 6 Among them, the target query permissions that car owners can choose to set specifically include:

[0081] The first is to enable privacy protection for vehicle information and not display any vehicle information. That is, when a person other than the vehicle owner enters the license plate number in the parking management system application to query vehicle parking related information, the parking management system application will not display any vehicle parking information and may further output a prompt that "vehicle information is protected by the owner". For example, the interface displayed by the parking management system application can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown in 6-E;

[0082] The second method is to enable privacy protection for vehicle information, display parking fees, and allow payment for vehicles. That is, when a person other than the vehicle owner enters the license plate number in the parking management system application to query vehicle parking related information, the parking management system application will only display the parking fee, and the person other than the vehicle owner can continue to complete the parking fee payment through the parking management system application; for example, the interface displayed by the parking management system application can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown in 6-D;

[0083] The third method is to enable privacy protection for vehicle information, display information related to parking fees and parking time, and allow payment for vehicles. That is, when a person other than the vehicle owner enters the license plate number in the parking management system application to query the relevant information about the vehicle parking, the parking management system application will display the parking fee and the vehicle's parking time, or the parking fee, the vehicle's entry time and / or parking time. People other than the vehicle owner can continue to complete the parking fee payment through the parking management system application; for example, the interface displayed by the parking management system application can be as follows: Figure 6 6-A, 6-B, and 6-C shown in FIG.

[0084] The fourth option is to disable privacy protection for vehicle information. This means that when a person other than the vehicle owner enters the license plate number in the parking management system app to query parking information, the parking management system app will display the parking fee, vehicle entry time, parking duration, and parking space information. Persons other than the vehicle owner can continue to pay the parking fee through the parking management system app.

[0085] It should be noted that no matter what type of query permission the car owner sets for others, when the car owner initiates an information query request himself, he can see all vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle.

[0086] 104. The cloud platform saves the above target query permissions.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cloud platform stores the target query authority specifically storing the target query authority corresponding to the vehicle information of the aforementioned vehicle. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the method may not include step 104, that is, step 104 is optional.

[0088] Among them, in addition to storing the above-mentioned target query permissions, the cloud platform also stores the vehicle information of related vehicles identified by the parking management system.

[0089] 105. After receiving the information query operation for the vehicle, the user terminal displays the target information of the vehicle according to the target query authority.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, the information query operation includes at least the vehicle identifier (such as the license plate number and vehicle frame number) that is unique to the vehicle. As an optional implementation, after the user terminal receives the information query operation for the vehicle, the target information of the vehicle is displayed according to the target query authority, which may include:

[0091] After receiving the vehicle information query operation, the user terminal provides the queryer and the corresponding information query operation to the cloud platform. The cloud platform determines the target information that the queryer can query based on the identity of the queryer and provides the target information to the user terminal. After receiving the target information fed back by the cloud platform, the user terminal displays the specific content corresponding to the target information.

[0092] or,

[0093] After the user end receives the information query operation for the vehicle, it requests the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle from the cloud platform according to the vehicle identification included in the information query operation; after obtaining the vehicle information feedback from the cloud platform, the user end determines the target information that the inquirer can query from the aforementioned vehicle information based on the identity of the inquirer and the set target query permissions, and displays the content corresponding to the target information.

[0094] It should be noted that the inquirer's identity can be the vehicle owner or someone other than the vehicle owner. Optionally, the user terminal can determine the inquirer's identity based on the identity authentication information entered by the inquirer, or can also preliminarily determine the inquirer's identity based on the vehicle identifier uniquely corresponding to the vehicle entered by the inquirer. For example, if the vehicle identifier entered by the inquirer is the vehicle frame number, the inquirer can be preliminarily identified as the vehicle owner; if the vehicle identifier entered by the inquirer is the license plate number, the inquirer can be preliminarily identified as a non-vehicle owner. When the inquirer's identity cannot be directly determined based on the vehicle identifier entered by the inquirer, the inquirer's identity can be further determined in combination with the identity authentication information entered by the inquirer. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0095] For example, if a car owner doesn't want others to see the parking lot information, parking duration, and entry time of their vehicle, they can set a target query permission that only allows others to view the vehicle's payable fees. When others query the vehicle's information, only the payable fees will be displayed to them. Furthermore, after others find out the payable fees for the vehicle, they can directly pay the corresponding fees for the vehicle, thus ensuring the car owner's privacy while increasing payment flexibility.

[0096] It can be seen that the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate car owners to set query permissions for vehicle parking information through the parking management system application, and display the relevant parking information of the vehicle based on the query permissions, which can effectively improve the security of vehicle parking-related information (such as the time point when the vehicle enters and exits the parking lot, parking duration, payable fees, etc.) so as to better protect the privacy of car owners, and thus help improve the user experience of vehicle users (especially car owners).

[0097] Example 2

[0098] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another method for querying vehicle-related information disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described method for querying vehicle-related information is applied to a parking management system, which includes at least a user terminal and a cloud platform. It should be noted that the user terminal does not specifically refer to a certain user terminal, nor does it specifically refer to a certain type of user terminal (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc.), but refers to any terminal that can be used by vehicle-related personnel (such as car owners) to log in to the parking management system application, including but not limited to smartphones (Android phones, iOS phones, etc.), smart phone watches, tablet computers, PDAs, car computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile Internet devices (MIDs), service terminals set up in parking scenes, etc. Optionally, the way for vehicle-related personnel (such as car owners) to log in to the parking management system application includes but is not limited to logging in through an App, logging in through a mini-program, or logging in through a web page, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-related information query method may include the following operations:

[0099] 201. The vehicle owner logs into the cloud platform through the user terminal and authenticates the license plate information.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle owner authenticates the license plate information by logging into the cloud platform through a user terminal. Specifically, the vehicle owner provides the relevant license plate information to be authenticated to the cloud platform through the user terminal. Optionally, the license plate information to be authenticated may include the vehicle's driving license information and / or a unique vehicle identifier. Further, optionally, the unique vehicle identifier included in the license plate information to be authenticated may specifically include a unique vehicle frame number and / or a unique license plate number.

[0101] 202. The cloud platform receives the license plate information sent by the user terminal, and authenticates the license plate information based on the vehicle authentication information. After the license plate information is authenticated, an indication indicating that the license plate information authentication is passed is displayed to the user terminal.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, the authentication information of the vehicle can be understood as the authenticated information corresponding to the vehicle stored by the cloud platform itself, or it can be the authenticated information corresponding to the vehicle obtained by the cloud platform from the vehicle management system (such as the traffic management system), and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit it. Furthermore, the cloud platform can compare the vehicle identification that uniquely corresponds to the vehicle and / or the vehicle identification identified from the driving license information with the authenticated vehicle license plate number. If there is a corresponding relationship between the two or the comparison is consistent, it means that the authentication is passed. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention can realize the authentication of the owner's identity based on the driving license information and / or the frame number and other information that is not easily obtained by others, which is conducive to improving the reliability and security of the identity authentication of the owner.

[0103] 203. The user terminal outputs a vehicle information display setting interface; wherein the vehicle information display setting interface displays a vehicle information query permission setting control.

[0104] 204. The vehicle owner operates the vehicle information query permission setting control to set the target query permission for querying the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle.

[0105] 205. The cloud platform saves the above target query permissions.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, for the detailed description of steps 203-205, please refer to the relevant description of steps 102-104 in the embodiment, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0107] 206. The user terminal receives an information query operation for the vehicle.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the trigger person corresponding to the information query operation is the owner of the vehicle, step 207 is triggered; when the trigger person corresponding to the information query operation is someone other than the owner, step 208 is triggered.

[0109] 207. The user terminal displays all the vehicle information.

[0110] 208. The user terminal outputs target content that is allowed to be viewed by others based on the target query permission.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the target query authority indicates that privacy protection for vehicle information is not enabled, the target content that others are allowed to view includes: one or more information of the parking space information where the vehicle is parked, the parking time of the vehicle, the time when the vehicle enters the parking space, and the fees payable for the vehicle; if the target query authority indicates that privacy protection for vehicle information is enabled, the target content that others are allowed to view includes: content corresponding to the target information that the target query authority allows others to view.

[0112] It can be seen that the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the vehicle owner to set the query authority of the vehicle parking information through the parking management system application, and display the relevant parking information of the vehicle according to the query authority, which can effectively improve the security of the vehicle parking related information (such as the time point of the vehicle entering and exiting the parking lot, the parking duration, the fees to be paid, etc.), so as to better protect the privacy of the vehicle owner, thereby helping to improve the user experience of the vehicle user (especially the vehicle owner). In addition, before setting the vehicle information query authority, the identity of the owner of the vehicle who sets it can be authenticated, which is conducive to improving the security of setting the vehicle information query authority. In addition, the identity of the vehicle owner can be authenticated based on information that is not easily obtained by others, such as the driving license information and / or the frame number, which is conducive to improving the reliability and security of the identity authentication of the vehicle owner.

[0113] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:

[0114] After the vehicle owner operates the vehicle information query permission setting control and sets the target query permission for querying vehicle information, the user terminal outputs a demonstration of the effect when others view the vehicle information on the vehicle information display setting interface according to the target query permission; or

[0115] After the vehicle owner operates the vehicle information query permission setting control and sets the target query permission for querying vehicle information, if a preview operation triggered by the vehicle owner is received, the user end will output a demonstration of the effect when others view the vehicle information in the vehicle information display setting interface based on the target query permission.

[0116] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also output a demonstration of the effect when others view the vehicle information on the relevant interface after the car owner sets the vehicle information query permission, so that the car owner can intuitively understand the information display corresponding to the vehicle information query permission set by himself.

[0117] In another optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:

[0118] The user end displays a prompt for setting vehicle information query permissions.

[0119] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also display a vehicle information query permission setting prompt to the car owner through the user terminal to remind the car owner to set the vehicle information query permission, so as to reduce the situation where the car owner's privacy is leaked because the car owner forgets to set the vehicle information query permission or is not clear that the vehicle information query permission can be set.

[0120] In another optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:

[0121] The cloud platform receives the unique vehicle identification of any incoming vehicle reported by the incoming vehicle identification device in the vehicle entry and exit scenarios it controls;

[0122] If the incoming vehicle has not been set with vehicle information query permissions in the vehicle entry and exit scenarios controlled by the cloud platform, the cloud platform will push a vehicle information query permission setting prompt to the terminal device corresponding to the incoming vehicle based on the unique vehicle identification corresponding to the incoming vehicle.

[0123] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can further determine whether the vehicle information query permission is set when it is identified as entering a vehicle entry and exit scene (such as a parking lot). If not, a vehicle information query permission setting prompt is pushed to the terminal device corresponding to the vehicle, thereby improving the push effectiveness of the vehicle information query permission setting prompt. It can not only remind the car owner to set the vehicle information query permission in time, but also reduce the occurrence of car owner privacy leakage due to the car owner forgetting to set the vehicle information query permission or not knowing that the vehicle information query permission can be set.

[0124] Example 3

[0125] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a parking management system application program applied to a user terminal disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The parking management system application shown is applied to the user terminal, which includes but is not limited to any one of a smart phone (Android phone, iOS phone, etc.), a smart phone watch, a tablet computer, a PDA, a car computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile Internet device (MID), a service terminal set in a parking scene, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit it. Figure 3 As shown, the parking management system application may include:

[0126] Authentication module 301, used for the vehicle owner to authenticate the license plate information on the user side;

[0127] Output module 302, used to output a vehicle information display setting interface on the user side; the vehicle information display setting interface displays a vehicle information query permission setting control;

[0128] The setting module 303 is used to set the target query authority for querying the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle when the vehicle owner operates the vehicle information query authority setting control;

[0129] The query module 304 is configured to display the target information of the vehicle according to the target query authority after receiving the information query operation for the vehicle at the user end;

[0130] In an embodiment of the present invention, vehicle information may include one or more of the following: parking space information, parking duration, time the vehicle entered the parking space, and fees payable. The target information that can be viewed by others may include one or more of the following: parking space information, parking duration, time the vehicle entered the parking space, and fees payable, and is specifically set by the vehicle owner based on actual needs. Optionally, the parking space information may include the location of the parking lot and / or the specific parking space in the parking lot.

[0131] Optionally, the target query permission is used to indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle. Furthermore, when privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information, the target information can be viewed by others. Others are anyone other than the vehicle owner. This helps protect the vehicle owner's parking privacy and prevents others from accessing parking information that the vehicle owner does not wish to be viewed through the license plate number.

[0132] Further optionally, the target query permission can be specifically used to indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information in one or certain parking scenarios, and the target information that others are allowed to view when privacy protection is enabled for the vehicle information in one or certain parking scenarios. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for the vehicle information in corresponding parking scenarios (such as non-work parking scenarios); or, the target query permissions can also be used to specifically indicate whether privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information in one or more time periods, and, when privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information, the target information that others are allowed to view when querying within the aforementioned one or more time periods. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for vehicle information in corresponding time periods; or, when privacy protection is enabled for vehicle information in one or more parking scenarios, the target information that others are allowed to view when querying within the aforementioned one or more time periods. That is, when setting vehicle information query permissions, the vehicle owner can also specifically set the query permissions for vehicle information in corresponding parking scenarios within corresponding time periods. This can increase the diversity and flexibility of setting vehicle information query permissions.

[0133] It can be seen that the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate car owners to set query permissions for vehicle parking information through the parking management system application, and display the relevant parking information of the vehicle based on the query permissions, which can effectively improve the security of vehicle parking-related information (such as the time point when the vehicle enters and exits the parking lot, parking duration, payable fees, etc.) so as to better protect the privacy of car owners, and thus help improve the user experience of vehicle users (especially car owners).

[0134] In an optional embodiment, the authentication module 301 may include:

[0135] Login submodule 3011, used for the vehicle owner to log in to the cloud platform through the user terminal;

[0136] The communication submodule 3012 is used to send the license plate information to the cloud platform after the vehicle owner logs in to the cloud platform, so that the cloud platform authenticates the license plate information based on the vehicle's authentication information. After the license plate information is authenticated, an indication of the license plate information authentication success is displayed to the user terminal.

[0137] The license plate information includes the vehicle's corresponding driving license information and / or the vehicle's unique corresponding vehicle identification; the vehicle's unique corresponding vehicle identification includes the vehicle's unique corresponding frame number.

[0138] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can also authenticate the identity of the vehicle owner before setting vehicle information query permissions, which helps to improve the security of setting vehicle information query permissions. In addition, the identity of the vehicle owner can be authenticated based on information that is not easily accessible to others, such as the driving license information and / or the frame number, which helps to improve the reliability and security of vehicle owner identity authentication.

[0139] In another optional embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the parking management system application further includes a preview module 305, wherein:

[0140] The preview module 305 is used to output a demonstration of the effect when others view the vehicle information according to the target query authority after the target query authority for querying vehicle information is set in the setting module 303; or, after the target query authority for querying vehicle information is set in the setting module, if a preview operation triggered by the vehicle owner is received, a demonstration of the effect when others view the vehicle information is output in the vehicle information display setting interface according to the target query authority.

[0141] It can be seen that after the car owner sets the vehicle information query permission, the user end can output the effect demonstration when others view the vehicle information on the relevant interface, so that the car owner can intuitively understand the information display corresponding to the vehicle information query permission set by himself.

[0142] In another optional embodiment, after the query module 304 receives the information query operation for the vehicle at the user end, the specific manner of displaying the target information of the vehicle according to the target query authority includes:

[0143] When the owner of the vehicle triggers an information query operation for the vehicle on the user side, the entire content of the vehicle information is displayed; or, when others trigger an information query operation for the vehicle on the user side, the target content allowed to be viewed by others is output based on the target query authority; wherein, the information query operation includes at least a vehicle identification uniquely corresponding to the vehicle; wherein, if the target query authority indicates that privacy protection for vehicle information is not enabled, the target content allowed to be viewed by others includes: one or more information of the parking lot information where the vehicle is parked, the parking time of the vehicle, the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot, and the fees payable for the vehicle; if the target query authority indicates that privacy protection for vehicle information is enabled, the target content allowed to be viewed by others includes: content corresponding to the target information.

[0144] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also display relevant content according to the identity of the inquirer after setting the vehicle information query authority, thereby realizing targeted display of vehicle information and helping to improve the privacy and security of the car owner.

[0145] In another optional embodiment, Figure 5As shown, the parking management system application further includes a prompt module 306, wherein the prompt module 306 is used to display a vehicle information query authority setting prompt on the user side.

[0146] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also display a vehicle information query permission setting prompt to the car owner through the user terminal to remind the car owner to set the vehicle information query permission, so as to reduce the situation where the car owner's privacy is leaked because the car owner forgets to set the vehicle information query permission or is not clear that the vehicle information query permission can be set.
