Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of information processing technology, and in particular to a parking fee payment method, device, equipment, medium and product. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of cars and the improvement of residents' living standards, more and more users choose cars as their means of transportation when traveling, that is, users choose to drive to their destinations. Therefore, the payment method of car parking fees has also attracted much attention from users.

[0003] Currently, parking fees are paid by scanning an information code. For example, when a vehicle exits a parking lot and needs to pay for parking, the barrier is controlled to remain in a lowered position, and the vehicle's parking fee payment code is displayed on a display screen near the toll booth. The user needs to scan the parking fee payment code and then pay the parking fee. After successful payment, the barrier will rise, and the vehicle can leave the parking lot. However, this payment method is significantly affected by the vehicle's parking location and payment environment. If the vehicle is parked in an inappropriate position or in insufficient light, the recognition rate of the parking fee payment code is low, requiring the user to repeatedly adjust the position and angle of the payment device, resulting in low parking fee payment efficiency. Secondly, in open-air rainy environments, rain will obscure the parking fee payment code, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the payment device's information recognition. Users must open the car window or even get out of the car to complete the parking fee payment code scanning, seriously affecting the user's payment experience and easily causing congestion at the parking lot exit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a parking fee payment method, device, equipment, medium and product, which will display a parking fee payment guidance image through an information interaction interface. The parking fee payment process can be started by directly scanning the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. The scanning work is less affected by the vehicle parking position and payment environment. The recognition efficiency and recognition accuracy of the parking fee collection code are high, which greatly shortens the time required for paying parking fees, reduces the probability of congestion at the parking lot exit, and improves the payment experience and travel experience of car users.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a parking fee payment method is provided, the method comprising:

[0006] When the speed of the target vehicle is equal to the preset speed, obtaining the environmental information of the target vehicle;

[0007] Processing the environmental information of the target vehicle to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image for the target vehicle, and controlling the information interaction interface of the target vehicle to display the parking fee payment guidance image;

[0008] The parking fee of the target vehicle is paid based on the user's payment instruction and the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a parking fee payment device is provided. The parking fee payment device is used to implement the parking fee payment method in any embodiment of the present invention. The device includes:

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided. The computer-readable storage medium stores computer instructions, which are used to enable a processor to implement the parking fee payment method in any embodiment of the present invention when executed.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program product is provided. The computer program product includes a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the parking fee payment method according to any embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

[0018] The parking fee payment method of the present invention includes: when the speed of the target vehicle is equal to a preset speed, obtaining environmental information of the target vehicle; processing the environmental information of the target vehicle to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image of the target vehicle, and controlling the information interaction interface of the target vehicle to display the parking fee payment guidance image; paying the parking fee of the target vehicle based on the user's payment instructions and the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. In the technical solution of the present invention, the preset vehicle speed is used to determine whether the target vehicle is in a stopped state. When the speed of the target vehicle is equal to the preset speed, that is, when the vehicle is in a stopped state, the environmental information of the target vehicle is obtained, the environmental information of the target vehicle is processed, and the parking fee payment guidance image parsed according to the environmental information of the target vehicle is displayed on the information interaction interface of the target vehicle. The parking fee of the target vehicle is then paid according to the user's payment instructions and the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. The user does not need to scan the parking fee payment code displayed on the display screen near the parking booth. The parking fee payment process can be started by directly scanning the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. The recognition of the parking fee payment guidance image does not need to be limited by the vehicle's stop position and environmental factors. It can improve the recognition efficiency and recognition accuracy of the parking fee payment code, greatly shorten the time required to pay parking fees, reduce the probability of congestion at the parking lot exit, and improve the payment experience and travel experience of car users. It not only solves the problem that the payment method of users paying for parking fees by scanning the parking fee payment code displayed on the display screen near the toll booth is greatly affected by the parking position of the vehicle and the payment environment. When the vehicle is parked in an inappropriate position or the light is insufficient, the recognition rate of the parking fee payment code is low, and the user needs to adjust the position and angle of the payment device many times, resulting in low parking fee payment efficiency; it also solves the problem that in an open air rainy environment, rain will block the parking fee payment code, affecting the information recognition efficiency and accuracy of the payment device, requiring the user to open the car window or even get out of the car to complete the scanning of the parking fee payment code, seriously affecting the user's payment experience, and easily causing congestion at the parking lot exit.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a parking fee payment method provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be used to quickly and accurately identify parking fee payment codes, thereby completing parking fee payment. This method can be executed by the parking fee payment device provided by the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described using the device integrated into an electronic device as an example. Figure 1 , the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0028] S101. When the speed of the target vehicle is equal to a preset speed, obtain environmental information of the target vehicle.

[0029] Among them, the target vehicle can be understood as the car that the user is currently driving and is about to leave the current parking lot through the parking booth. The speed of the target vehicle refers to the distance traveled by the target vehicle in unit time. It is a parameter of the vehicle's driving state, usually in kilometers per hour (km / h) or miles per hour (mph). The preset speed can be understood as the speed for determining whether the target vehicle is in a stopped state, which is generally 0km / h. That is, when the speed of the target vehicle is equal to 0km / h, it is considered that the target vehicle is stopped and may have encountered problems such as a barrier or congestion ahead. It is necessary to obtain the environmental information of the target vehicle to determine whether to start the fare payment process. The environmental information of the target vehicle can be understood as the environmental parameters of the environment in which the target vehicle is located, including but not limited to image information around the environment in which the target vehicle is located, light intensity and rainfall information in the environment in which the target vehicle is located. The environmental information of the target vehicle can be used to determine whether it is necessary to start paying the parking fee for the target vehicle at the current moment, and it is also the data source for parsing image information for paying parking fees.

[0030] Methods for obtaining the speed of the target vehicle include speedometer measurement, Global Positioning System (GPS) speed measurement, and radar speed measurement. The speedometer drives the speedometer pointer to display the vehicle speed by rotating the vehicle's drive shaft to drive the gears to rotate; GPS speed measurement measures the vehicle's position and speed through satellite signals; radar speed measurement uses radar to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, and then uses the Doppler effect to calculate the vehicle's speed. The present invention does not limit the specific speed measurement method. The present invention only obtains the environmental information of the target vehicle when the vehicle speed is 0 km / h. The advantage of this setting is that it reduces the frequency of information acquisition, saves the workload of environmental detection equipment, increases the service life of environmental detection equipment, reduces the vehicle's processing tasks for non-essential data, improves the utilization rate of the vehicle processor, and saves the resource consumption of the vehicle processor.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, obtaining environmental information of a target vehicle includes: using a first image information detector deployed on the target vehicle to collect image information of the target vehicle's forward direction, and determining whether there is a barrier bar in the target vehicle's forward direction based on the image information; when there is a barrier bar in the target vehicle's forward direction, using at least two second image information detectors deployed on the target vehicle to collect a toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0032] The first image information detector can be understood as a device or system for acquiring and processing image or graphic data, which can convert images, graphics or other visual information in the physical world into digital form for further analysis, storage or transmission. The first image information detector includes but is not limited to ordinary digital cameras, industrial cameras, infrared cameras and thermal imaging cameras, which are used to collect environmental images in the direction of the vehicle's advance (i.e., in front of the front of the vehicle) in order to determine whether the reason for the vehicle's stop is that it was stopped by a car barrier. Generally, only vehicles that need to pay parking fees to the parking lot and have not successfully paid the parking fees will be blocked by car barriers, and vehicles that do not need to pay parking fees or have already paid parking fees will not be blocked by car barriers. The first image information detector is generally deployed on the side or roof of the vehicle. By analyzing the image information collected by the first image information detector, it can be known whether there is a car barrier in front of the target vehicle, that is, whether the target vehicle is stopped by the car barrier. If the target vehicle is stopped by the car barrier, it is considered that the target vehicle needs to pay the parking fee.

[0033] Similarly, a second image information detector is also a device or system for acquiring and processing image or graphic data. It can convert images, graphics, or other visual information in the physical world into digital form for further analysis, storage, or transmission. Such devices include, but are not limited to, conventional digital cameras, industrial cameras, infrared cameras, and thermal imaging cameras. These devices are used to capture images of the toll booth corresponding to the vehicle in order to identify the vehicle's payment code information on the toll booth's display screen. To improve the accuracy of payment code recognition and avoid inaccurate payment code recognition due to factors such as weather and the angle of the recognition device, the present invention employs at least two second image information detectors to capture toll booth images, obtaining image information from different angles to obtain more accurate and reliable payment code information.

[0034] Typically, a toll booth is located on the side of the main cockpit. If there are two second-image information detectors, they are deployed on the first and second sides of the target vehicle, respectively. If there are three second-image information detectors, they are deployed on the first, second, and third sides of the target vehicle, respectively. The first side is the side where the cockpit door is located, the second side is the roof or front of the vehicle, and the third side is the front or roof of the vehicle. This arrangement aims to evenly deploy the second-image information detectors in locations where they can capture toll booth images, allowing for the collection of toll booth images from different angles and the highest possible accuracy in identifying and interpreting payment code information.

[0035] Specifically, at least two second image information detectors deployed on the target vehicle are used to collect the toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle, including: using at least two second image information detectors to collect the toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle to obtain at least two spare toll booth images, and the spare toll booth images correspond one-to-one to the second image information detectors.

[0036] For example, assuming there are two second image information detectors (second image information detector 1 and second image information detector 2), two backup toll booth images (backup toll booth image 1 and backup toll booth image 2) will be obtained. Second image information detector 1 is used to capture the toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle, and the resulting image information is backup toll booth image 1. Second image information detector 2 is used to capture the toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle, and the resulting image information is backup toll booth image 2. Backup toll booth image 1 and backup toll booth image 2 are image information from different angles of the toll booth. The present invention captures at least two toll booth image information in order to accurately parse the payment code information on the toll booth display screen as much as possible, thereby facilitating smooth parking fee payment.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first image information detector and the second image information detector of the present invention can be one, for example, a 360° surround camera deployed on the roof of a vehicle, which collects image information of the target vehicle's forward direction and toll booth images at at least two angles by changing the information collection direction. The advantage of such a setting is that it can effectively reduce the information collection cost.

[0038] Optionally, before using the first image information detector deployed on the target vehicle to collect image information of the target vehicle's forward direction, the parking fee payment method of the present invention also includes: using the meteorological information detector deployed on the target vehicle to collect meteorological information of the target vehicle's environment, the meteorological information including light intensity and precipitation; when the light intensity is lower than a preset intensity threshold and / or the precipitation is greater than a preset precipitation threshold, turning on the target vehicle's fill light.

[0039] A meteorological detector can be understood as a device that collects and monitors meteorological data. It can be used to collect parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, light intensity, light direction, temperature, humidity, visibility, and precipitation in the target vehicle's environment. The present invention does not limit the deployment location of the meteorological detector. Meteorological information about the target vehicle's environment includes, but is not limited to, light intensity, light direction, visibility, and precipitation. Light intensity, light direction, and precipitation directly impact the quality of the collected environmental information. Therefore, the present invention will collect meteorological information of the environment in which the target vehicle is located, and turn on the target vehicle's fill light when the light intensity is lower than a preset intensity threshold (a basis for measuring whether the vehicle's environment is dim. If the light intensity is lower than the preset intensity threshold, it proves that the vehicle's environment is relatively dim, and a dim environment is not conducive to identifying and parsing image information) and / or the precipitation is greater than a preset precipitation threshold (a basis for measuring whether the vehicle's environment has low visibility and is obstructed. If the precipitation is greater than the preset precipitation threshold, it proves that the vehicle's environment has low visibility and is obstructed, which is not conducive to identifying and parsing image information). The fill light can be understood as a device that increases the brightness of the vehicle's environment (for example, a fill light). Increasing the brightness of the vehicle's environment can effectively increase the quality of image information acquisition, so that the collected image information can be subsequently parsed and used. It is worth noting that the preset intensity threshold and the preset precipitation threshold are related to the performance of the meteorological detector, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0040] S102: Process the environmental information of the target vehicle to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image of the target vehicle, and control the information interaction interface of the target vehicle to display the parking fee payment guidance image.

[0041] The target vehicle's parking fee payment guidance image can be understood as the target vehicle's parking fee payment code information, and the target vehicle's information interaction interface can be understood as the vehicle's internal information interaction screen. Specifically, processing the target vehicle's environmental information to obtain the target vehicle's parking fee payment guidance image can be accomplished by fusing multiple backup toll booth images captured by multiple second image information detectors to obtain highly accurate toll booth image information, then parsing the parking fee payment code information from the toll booth image information to obtain the resulting image, which serves as the target vehicle's parking fee payment guidance image. Alternatively, the parking fee payment code information from multiple backup toll booth images can be parsed to obtain multiple payment code images, which are then fused to obtain the target vehicle's parking fee payment guidance image. Furthermore, after obtaining the target vehicle's parking fee payment guidance image, the present invention controls the target vehicle's information interaction interface to display the parking fee payment guidance image. This arrangement eliminates the need for users to scan the parking fee payment code displayed on a display screen near the parking booth; instead, users can directly scan the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface to initiate the parking fee payment process. This reduces the difficulty of payment code recognition, improves the efficiency and accuracy of payment code recognition, and enhances the user experience.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, environmental information of a target vehicle is processed to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image of the target vehicle, including: parsing payment guidance information in at least two backup toll booth images to obtain at least two candidate payment guidance images, where the candidate payment guidance images correspond one-to-one to the backup toll booth images; and processing the at least two candidate payment guidance images to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image.

[0043] Among them, the payment guidance information can be understood as the payment code information in the standby toll booth image, the candidate payment guidance image can be understood as the image information obtained by separately disassembling or dividing the payment guidance information in the standby toll booth image, and processing at least two candidate payment guidance images to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image can be understood as fusing at least two candidate payment guidance images to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image. For example, at least two candidate payment guidance images are input into an image fusion model for processing, and the parking fee payment guidance image is determined according to the output result of the image fusion model; it is determined whether the overlap of at least two candidate payment guidance images is higher than a preset overlap value (for example, 85%, 90%, 95%, etc.). If it is higher than the preset overlap value, the candidate payment guidance image with high clarity or positive viewing angle among the at least two candidate payment guidance images is determined as the parking fee payment guidance image, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0044] S103: Pay the parking fee for the target vehicle based on the user's payment instruction and the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface.

[0045] In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of users, each expenditure requires user confirmation, that is, each expenditure requires the user's consent. Users can grant the payment device certain payment permissions in advance (for example, a specific location, specific purpose, a specific range of amounts, etc.), or they can grant the payment device corresponding payment permissions in real time each time. The present invention does not limit the specific method of delegating permissions.

[0046] The user's payment instruction can be understood as the user's payment consent information. Taking the real-time granting of corresponding payment permissions to the payment device as an example, S103 may specifically include: responding to a payment request triggered by the user based on the parking fee payment guidance image (scanning the parking fee payment guidance image can be regarded as triggering a payment request), displaying parking fee information and a parking fee payment confirmation button; after verifying the parking fee information, the user can trigger the parking fee payment confirmation button. Triggering the parking fee payment confirmation button can be regarded as issuing the user's payment instruction. After receiving the user's payment instruction, the payment device (e.g., an in-vehicle payment terminal, a mobile payment terminal, etc.) is controlled to pay the parking fee to the parking lot.

[0047] Since some cars have payment functions and some cars do not, S103 may specifically include: when the target vehicle meets the payment conditions (i.e., the target vehicle has the payment function), in response to the parking fee payment guide image, generate parking fee payment information, control the information interaction interface to display the parking fee payment information, and pay the parking fee of the target vehicle upon receiving the user's payment instruction; when the target vehicle does not meet the payment conditions (i.e., the target vehicle does not have the payment function), in response to the payment request triggered by the client (mobile payment terminal such as a mobile phone), pay the parking fee of the target vehicle, and the payment request is generated by the client based on the parking fee payment guide image and the user's payment instruction.

[0048] The present invention provides two payment methods for two situations: one is that the vehicle has a payment function and the other is that the vehicle does not have a payment function. On the one hand, for the situation where the vehicle has a payment function, after the parking fee payment guidance image is displayed on the information interaction interface at the foot of the vehicle, the vehicle's payment device will directly recognize the parking fee payment guidance image (i.e., respond to the parking fee payment guidance image), generate parking fee payment information (including parking fee information and a parking fee payment confirmation button), and control the information interaction interface to display the parking fee payment information, so that the user can understand the parking fee information and trigger the parking fee payment confirmation button. Triggering the parking fee payment confirmation button can be regarded as issuing a payment instruction to the user. Upon receiving the user's payment instruction, the vehicle's payment device will pay the parking fee of the target vehicle. On the other hand, in the case where the vehicle does not have a payment function, after the parking fee payment guidance image is displayed on the information interaction interface at the foot of the vehicle, the user is required to scan the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface through the mobile terminal. If the scan is successful, the parking fee payment information (including parking fee information and parking fee payment confirmation button) will be displayed on the interaction interface of the mobile client. Similarly, triggering the parking fee payment confirmation button can be regarded as a payment instruction issued to the user. When the user's payment instruction is received, a payment request will be triggered, and the parking fee of the target vehicle will be paid through the client.

[0049] The preset vehicle speed of the present invention is used to determine whether the target vehicle is in a stopped state. When the speed of the target vehicle is equal to the preset speed (that is, the vehicle is in a stopped state), the environmental information of the target vehicle is obtained, the environmental information of the target vehicle is processed, and the parking fee payment guidance image parsed according to the environmental information of the target vehicle is displayed on the information interaction interface of the target vehicle. The parking fee of the target vehicle is then paid according to the user's payment instructions and the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. The user does not need to scan the parking fee payment code displayed on the display screen near the parking booth. The parking fee payment process can be started by directly scanning the parking fee payment guidance image displayed on the information interaction interface. The recognition of the parking fee payment guidance image does not need to be limited by the vehicle's stop position and environmental factors. It can improve the recognition efficiency and recognition accuracy of the parking fee payment code, greatly shorten the time required to pay the parking fee, reduce the probability of congestion at the parking lot exit, and improve the payment experience and travel experience of car users. It not only solves the problem that the payment method of users paying for parking fees by scanning the parking fee payment code displayed on the display screen near the toll booth is greatly affected by the parking position of the vehicle and the payment environment. When the vehicle is parked in an inappropriate position or the light is insufficient, the recognition rate of the parking fee payment code is low, and the user needs to adjust the position and angle of the payment device many times, resulting in low parking fee payment efficiency; it also solves the problem that in an open air rainy environment, rain will block the parking fee payment code, affecting the information recognition efficiency and accuracy of the payment device, requiring the user to open the car window or even get out of the car to complete the scanning of the parking fee payment code, seriously affecting the user's payment experience, and easily causing congestion at the parking lot exit.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another parking fee payment method provided by the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment provides a preferred parking fee payment method, which is essentially a parking fee payment method with more complete process details. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0051] S201. When the speed of the target vehicle is equal to a preset speed, the weather information of the environment in which the target vehicle is located is collected using a weather information detector deployed on the target vehicle.

[0052] Among them, meteorological information includes light intensity and precipitation.

[0053] S202: When the light intensity is lower than a preset intensity threshold and / or the precipitation is greater than a preset precipitation threshold, turn on the fill light of the target vehicle.

[0054] S203: Utilize a first image information detector deployed on the target vehicle to collect image information of the target vehicle's forward direction, and determine whether there is a vehicle blocking bar in the forward direction of the target vehicle based on the image information.

[0055] S204: When there is a barrier in the forward direction of the target vehicle, use at least two second image information detectors deployed on the target vehicle to collect a toll booth image corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0056] S205 : Utilize at least two second image information detectors to collect toll booth images corresponding to the target vehicle, and obtain at least two spare toll booth images.

[0057] The standby toll booth images correspond one to one with the second image information detectors.

[0058] S206: Analyze the payment guidance information in at least two standby toll booth images to obtain at least two candidate payment guidance images.

[0059] Among them, the candidate payment guide images correspond one-to-one to the backup toll booth images.

[0060] S207: Process at least two candidate payment guidance images to obtain a parking fee payment guidance image.

[0061] S208. When the target vehicle meets the payment conditions, in response to the parking fee payment guidance image, generate parking fee payment information, control the information interaction interface to display the parking fee payment information, and pay the parking fee of the target vehicle upon receiving the user's payment instruction.

[0062] S209: When the target vehicle does not meet the payment conditions, in response to the payment request triggered by the client, pay the parking fee of the target vehicle.

[0063] The payment request is generated by the client based on the parking fee payment guide image and the user's payment instruction.

[0064] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a parking fee payment device provided by the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: an information acquisition module 301, an image analysis module 302 and a fee payment module 303.

[0065] The information acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the environmental information of the target vehicle when the speed of the target vehicle is equal to a preset speed.

[0066] The image analysis module 302 is used to process the environmental information of the target vehicle, obtain the parking fee payment guidance image of the target vehicle, and control the information interaction interface of the target vehicle to display the parking fee payment guidance image.
