Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart parking technology, specifically relating to a parking space status management method and system based on navigation behavior and exit verification. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of smart parking, parking space status management largely relies on single hardware detection methods (such as inductive loops and cameras) or manual registration, which has significant limitations. On the one hand, hardware detection is easily affected by environmental interference (such as light and obstructions), leading to misjudgments of status, and it cannot be linked to vehicle reservation information, often resulting in conflicts such as "reserved parking spaces being occupied by others." On the other hand, under the manual management model, the update of parking space occupancy and release status is lagging, easily causing resource waste such as "vehicles have left but the parking space is still marked as occupied." At the same time, there is a lack of automated processing mechanisms for abnormal parking (such as overtime occupancy and multiple vehicles competing for a space), resulting in low parking lot turnover efficiency and poor user experience. In addition, sensitive data such as vehicle IDs are easily leaked during the management process, making it difficult to balance data security and commercial value mining.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention aims to provide a parking space status management method and system based on navigation behavior and exit verification. By binding user navigation requests with vehicle IDs and combining this with exit gate departure recognition, the system achieves fully automated status updates for parking spaces from reservation to release, resolving issues of misjudgment and delayed updates in traditional methods. Simultaneously, it introduces an anomaly handling mechanism and dynamic allocation strategy to address scenarios such as overtime occupancy and multiple vehicles vying for spaces, improving resource utilization. Furthermore, through data anonymization and commercial interface design, it enables the value mining of parking data while protecting user privacy, ultimately constructing an efficient, accurate, and secure intelligent parking management system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a parking space status management method and system based on navigation behavior and exit verification. It aims to solve the problems in the prior art that rely on single hardware detection (such as ground loop coils, cameras) which are easily affected by environmental interference (light, obstruction, etc.) leading to incorrect status judgments, and cannot be linked to vehicle reservation information, often resulting in the conflict of "reserved parking space being occupied by others".

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A parking space status management method, characterized in that it includes:

[0007] >Receive navigation request from user terminal for target parking space X;

[0008] Bind the vehicle ID associated with the user terminal to parking space X;

[0009] Mark parking space X as occupied;

[0010] When the exit gate system detects the departure of the vehicle ID, it releases the occupancy status of parking space X.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the timing of the occupancy status marking is as follows:

[0012] Mark immediately when navigation commands are issued, or mark when a vehicle is detected entering a parking space X preset geofence.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the release operation includes:

[0014] Verify vehicle payment status;

[0015] Query the last parking space X associated with this vehicle ID;

[0016] Update the status of parking space X to empty.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it includes:

[0018] If parking space X is occupied for more than the preset time T, detect the user terminal's Bluetooth signal.

[0019] If no signal is detected, activate the audible and visual alarm and notify the administrator.

[0020] If multiple vehicles are detected competing for parking space X, the nearest available parking space Y will be dynamically allocated based on real-time location.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic allocation includes:

[0022] Calculate the path cost from each conflicting vehicle to the candidate parking space;

[0023] Prioritize assigning vehicles with the smallest path cost increment.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it includes:

[0025] Data anonymization module: Uses HMAC-SHA256 to encrypt vehicle IDs;

[0026] >Commercial Interface Module: Packages and sells vacant space data to map service providers;

[0027] >Behavioral Analysis Module: Generates parking heatmaps for sale to urban planning agencies.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] 1. In this solution, by receiving the navigation request from the user terminal for the target parking space, the vehicle ID associated with the user terminal is bound to the parking space, and the parking space is marked as occupied. When the exit gate system recognizes the vehicle ID leaving the site, the parking space occupancy status is released. The timing of marking the occupancy status can be selected when the navigation command is issued or when the vehicle enters the preset geofence. The release operation requires verifying the payment status, querying the last bound parking space, and updating the status.

[0030] It avoids environmental interference from single hardware detection and the lag of manual management, ensuring timely and accurate updates to parking space status. For example, when a vehicle leaves through the exit gate and completes payment, the system can immediately update the parking space status to vacant, improving parking space turnover efficiency and reducing resource waste. At the same time, by binding vehicle IDs to parking spaces, it effectively avoids conflicts such as "reserved parking spaces being occupied by others," enhancing the user experience.

[0031] 2. In this scheme, if the parking space is occupied for more than the preset time, the user terminal Bluetooth signal is detected. If no signal is detected, an audible and visual alarm is activated and the administrator is notified. If multiple vehicles are detected competing for a parking space, the path cost from each conflicting vehicle to the candidate parking space is calculated based on real-time positioning, and the vehicle with the smallest path cost increment is allocated first.

[0032] For situations where parking spaces are occupied beyond the allotted time, the system can promptly detect and notify the administrator to handle the issue, preventing resources from being idle for extended periods. In scenarios where multiple vehicles are vying for a space, the system dynamically allocates the nearest available space, reducing on-site conflicts. Furthermore, by allocating spaces based on incremental path costs, the system minimizes users' detour time, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of parking resources and the parking efficiency of users.

[0037] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0040] A parking space status management method, characterized by including:

[0041] > Receive a navigation request from a user terminal for a target parking space X;

[0042] > Bind the vehicle ID associated with the user terminal to parking space X;

[0043] > Mark parking space X as occupied;

[0044] > When the exit gate system recognizes the departure of the vehicle ID, release the occupied status of parking space X.

[0045] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, intelligent management of parking spaces is achieved through collaborative operation: when the vehicle owner initiates a navigation request for the 12th parking space on the B3 floor (i.e., the target parking space X) through the mobile APP, the system first receives the request and synchronously obtains the vehicle ID (such as the license plate number "Beijing AXXXXX") pre-associated with the user terminal; then establishes a binding relationship between the vehicle ID and the 12th parking space to ensure that this parking space is exclusively allocated to this vehicle; at the same time, the system automatically marks the status of the 12th parking space from "idle" to "occupied" and updates it in real time to the electronic guidance screen in the parking lot and the APP interface to prevent other vehicle owners from misapplying; when the vehicle leaves, the license plate recognition system at the exit gate captures "Beijing AXXXXX" and verifies it successfully, and the system immediately解除 the binding relationship and releases the 12th parking space to the "idle" state for subsequent vehicles to use. This process realizes the full-automatic management of the parking space from reservation to release through the close cooperation of various technical features, which not only ensures the accuracy of parking space allocation but also improves the resource turnover efficiency and reduces the errors caused by manual intervention.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-3 , for the method according to claim 1, characterized in that the timing of marking the occupied status is:

[0047] > Mark immediately when the navigation instruction is issued, or mark when it is detected that the vehicle enters the preset geographical fence of parking space X.

[0048] In this embodiment: when the system receives a user's navigation request and issues an instruction, it can immediately mark parking space X as occupied to prevent other users from applying at the same time; if the user does not arrive in time, the system can also locate the vehicle via GPS or base station, and mark it as occupied when it detects that the vehicle has entered the preset geofence within 5 meters around parking space X, thus balancing the timeliness of reservations and the accuracy of actual use.

[0049] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 The method as described in claim 1, wherein the release operation comprises:

[0050] Verify vehicle payment status;

[0051] >Query the last parking space X associated with this vehicle ID;

[0052] Update the status of parking space X to empty.

[0053] In this embodiment: After the exit gate recognizes the vehicle ID, the system first verifies the parking fee payment status of the vehicle. If the payment has been completed, it queries the parking space X that the vehicle ID was last bound to, and then updates the status of parking space X from "occupied" to "vacant" to ensure that the parking space resource is released only after the fee is settled.

[0054] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 A method for handling abnormal parking space status, characterized in that it includes:

[0055] If parking space X is occupied for more than the preset time T, detect the user terminal's Bluetooth signal.

[0056] If no signal is detected, activate the audible and visual alarm and notify the administrator.

[0057] If multiple vehicles are detected competing for parking space X, the nearest available parking space Y will be dynamically allocated based on real-time location.

[0058] In this embodiment: if parking space X is occupied for more than a preset time T (e.g., 48 hours), the system automatically detects the Bluetooth signal of the user terminal. If no signal is detected, the sound and light alarm next to the parking space is triggered, and abnormal information is pushed to the administrator terminal. When multiple vehicles are detected driving towards parking space X at the same time and competing for it, the system dynamically allocates the nearest available space Y to the vehicle based on its real-time location, thereby reducing on-site conflicts.

[0059] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-2 The method as described in claim 4, wherein the dynamic allocation includes:

[0060] Calculate the path cost from each conflicting vehicle to the candidate parking space;

[0061] Prioritize assigning vehicles with the smallest path cost increment.

[0062] In this embodiment: For vehicles vying for parking space X, the system calculates the path cost (including distance, congestion coefficient, etc.) from each vehicle to multiple candidate empty spaces, and prioritizes allocating empty spaces to vehicles with the smallest increase in path cost. For example, vehicles that originally take 5 minutes to drive to X but only 6 minutes to drive to Y will be prioritized for allocation, maximizing the reduction of users' detour time.

[0063] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-3 A parking space status data application system, characterized in that it includes:

[0064] Data anonymization module: Uses HMAC-SHA256 to encrypt vehicle IDs;

[0065] >Commercial Interface Module: Packages and sells vacant space data to map service providers;

[0066] >Behavioral Analysis Module: Generates parking heatmaps for sale to urban planning agencies.

[0067] In this embodiment: the data anonymization module uses the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm to encrypt vehicle IDs to protect user privacy; the commercial interface module standardizes and packages real-time parking space data and sells it to map service providers via API for navigation use; the behavior analysis module generates time-specific heat maps based on historical parking data and sells them to urban planning agencies as a basis for parking lot layout optimization, thereby maximizing the value of the data.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
