[0018] In the various figures, the same or corresponding reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts. Detailed Implementation
[0019] The embodiments of this disclosure described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. Furthermore, before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure through appropriate means in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and their authorization should be obtained.
[0020] As mentioned above, existing vehicle entry technologies have certain difficulties and low efficiency in license plate recognition, resulting in long queues of vehicles waiting to enter or exit the vehicle, which greatly reduces the efficiency and experience of people driving.
[0021] The main problem is that when vehicles enter the parking space, the image capture equipment typically takes 2 seconds or more to extract the license plate number, and this is affected by lighting and vehicle angle, so it may not always be successful. Therefore, when there are many vehicles waiting to park, long queues often appear at the entrance, significantly impacting people's travel efficiency.
[0022] To address any of the aforementioned or other potential problems, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for warehousing. The method includes sending an identifier of a movable object to an inbound control device, receiving inbound information generated by the inbound control device based on the identifier, wherein the movable object can store the inbound information, and the movable object sends a response to the inbound control device confirming receipt of the inbound information to indicate that it has been inbound. The movable object refers to an object that can be moved by its own capacity or by means of a vehicle, including but not limited to any one or a combination of the following: vehicles, ships, aircraft, containers, or large cargo.
[0023] This method enables rapid entry into the parking lot by recognizing the identifiers of movable objects, thereby greatly improving entry efficiency, parking efficiency, and the overall user experience.
[0024] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. To facilitate understanding of the invention by those skilled in the art, the movable object in the following embodiments is exemplified by a vehicle. However, as those skilled in the art will understand, the movable object of this disclosure includes, but is not limited to, vehicles. Figure 1 The examples illustrate the devices and / or methods of embodiments of this disclosure and may be implemented in an example environment.
[0025] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method 100 for data entry according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. Figure 2 The illustration shows a schematic diagram of a vehicle entry embodiment according to this disclosure. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method for data entry according to embodiments of this disclosure will be described.
[0026] At frame 110, the identifier of the movable object is sent to the entry control device. The movable object 210 sends its own identifier to the entry control device 220. The movable object 210 can be a vehicle, and it can send information to the entry control device 220 based on, for example, existing UWB or V2X protocols. The advantage of using UWB or V2X protocols is that the entry control device 220 can sense and communicate with the vehicle from a greater distance, unlike license plate recognition which requires the vehicle to be very close. This improves system response speed, reduces response time, and ultimately reduces vehicle entry waiting time. The UWB or V2X protocols are merely examples of communication protocols in this disclosure; other or future inventions can also use these protocols, as long as they are applicable to this disclosure. The identifier can be an electronic signature certificate. Those skilled in the art will understand that the identifier can also be formed using other or future developed identifier technologies, as long as it fulfills the identifier function. The identification includes any one or a combination of the following information: license plate number; license plate validity period; authorizing authority; or electronic signature of the license plate number. By adopting vehicle identification, the difficulties of image recognition through license plate scanning can be avoided, thus reducing the likelihood of vehicles being blocked from entering the garage for extended periods due to recognition difficulties, and preventing long queues of vehicles outside the garage, significantly improving user experience and entry efficiency. The entry control device 220 generates entry information 230 based on the received movable object 210. The entry information 230 includes any one or a combination of the following information: identification; entry request time; fee standard; or payment signature.
[0027] At box 120, the warehouse entry control device receives entry information generated based on the identifier. The movable object 210 receives entry information 230 generated based on the identifier from the warehouse entry control device 220.
[0028] At box 130, the entry information is stored. The movable object 210 stores the entry information 230 for subsequent payment upon release. The entry information 230 can be stored in any suitable location, such as the movable object's local storage, its cache, or backed up via cloud storage. How the entry information 230 is stored does not limit the scope of this disclosure.
[0029] At frame 140, a response indicating receipt of entry information 230 is sent to the entry control device 220 to initiate entry. The entry control device 220 includes any one or a combination of the following: a blocking device 240; or a photographing device 250. In response to receiving the response from the movable object indicating receipt of entry information, the entry control device 220 releases the blocking device 240, allowing the movable object 210 to pass. Alternatively, the photographing device 250 can be used to photograph the movable object 210 for later inspection. This achieves rapid entry of the vehicle 210 into the warehouse.
[0030] Therefore, by utilizing the above-described warehousing method 100 of this disclosure, movable objects can be quickly warehoused, thereby significantly shortening the waiting time for retrieval. Furthermore, the use of electronic license plates rarely presents recognition difficulties, preventing the movable object from incurring uncertain waiting times due to license plate recognition problems. Additionally, the use of electronic warehousing information facilitates the rapid determination of the specific cost of the vehicle 210 upon subsequent retrieval. Overall, compared to existing technologies, the above embodiments significantly improve people's travel efficiency, enhance travel experience, and increase life satisfaction.
[0031] Furthermore, when vehicles exit the parking garage, the current system requires successful payment via scanning at the exit before the barrier lifts. However, the payment process requires human intervention and takes several minutes. Consequently, when there are many vehicles waiting to park, long queues frequently occur at the entrance, significantly impacting people's travel efficiency.
[0032] In summary, the waiting time for a vehicle at an entrance or exit is measured in minutes. From a procedural standpoint, the driver needs to perform many actions, and from an efficiency standpoint, the actual time spent entering and exiting the entrance or exit is quite long.
[0033] Similar problems exist in other storage locations (such as ports, airports, aprons, container storage areas, and / or large cargo storage areas). Therefore, a method or device is needed to improve warehousing efficiency.
[0034] Furthermore, with the increasing intelligence and connectivity of automobiles, autonomous driving technology is becoming increasingly integrated into people's lives. One of the scenarios faced in the development of autonomous driving is the ability for driverless vehicles to enter parking lots and perform automated parking and payment. However, current solutions do not offer mature solutions for this scenario. In addition, other mobile targets, such as ships, aircraft, drones, containers, and / or large cargo, all face efficiency issues in warehousing. Correspondingly, parking lots, ports, airports, aprons, container storage facilities, and / or large cargo storage facilities require corresponding technological solutions to help improve their warehousing efficiency and capacity, and increase customs clearance speed and efficiency.
[0035] Figure 3The illustration shows a flowchart of a method 300 for issuing goods according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 The illustration shows a schematic diagram of a vehicle exiting the warehouse according to this disclosure. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The methods for data entry according to embodiments of this disclosure are described in a non-limiting manner.
[0036] At frame 310, the stored entry information is sent to the entry control device. Specifically, the user mobile object 210, which sends the electronic invoice to the mobile object, sends the stored entry information 230 to the entry control device 220.
[0037] At frame 320, the electronic bill generated by the parking control device based on the parking information is received. Specifically, the electronic bill sent by the parking control device 220 based on the parking information 230 is received. Upon receiving the parking information 230, the parking control device 220 verifies it, calculates the parking fee according to a predetermined charging standard based on the current time, generates the electronic bill, and sends the electronic bill to the movable object 210.
[0038] At box 330, the electronic bill is sent back to the user of the mobile object. Specifically, the mobile object 210 sends the received electronic bill back to the user. User payment authorization can be obtained through any of the following methods or combinations thereof: a voice recognition system; a facial recognition system; or, for enhanced security, the vehicle control system of the mobile object 210 obtains the driver's response through a voice recognition system and then obtains the driver's facial information through a facial recognition system for dual authentication; or, when the user is not driving, password payment authorization is used; or, for autonomous driving scenarios, pre-authorized payment authorization can be used. Figure 4 In response to receiving user payment permission from the movable object 210, the movable object 210 sends a payment request to the payment system 450. Upon receiving the payment request, based on the user payment permission and electronic invoice, the payment system 450 pays the corresponding amount to the charging system 460. The payment system 450 and the charging system 460 can be city wallet payment systems, or widely used payment systems such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. The choice of payment system and charging system does not limit the scope of protection of this disclosure; any payment system and charging system suitable for this invention can be used. Upon receiving the corresponding payment, the charging system 460 instructs the entry control device to release the movable object 210. The entry control device 220, upon receiving the release instruction from the charging system 460, immediately releases the blocking device 240, allowing the movable object 210 to leave the parking space quickly. Alternatively, the movable object 210 can be photographed and stored using the photographing device 250.
[0039] Therefore, by utilizing the aforementioned outbound method 300 of this disclosure, vehicle 210 can achieve rapid outbound departure, thereby significantly shortening the outbound waiting time. Furthermore, the use of electronic license plates presents minimal recognition difficulties, preventing vehicle 210 from incurring uncertain waiting times due to license plate recognition problems. Additionally, the use of electronic entry information allows for quick determination of the specific cost of vehicle 210. Moreover, the use of electronic automatic payment and facial or voice payment authentication can significantly shorten payment waiting times, which also reduces outbound waiting times. Overall, compared to existing technologies, the above embodiments significantly improve people's travel efficiency, enhance travel experience, and increase life satisfaction.
[0040] It is worth noting that although the above embodiments use vehicles and garages as examples, this disclosure is not limited to garages, where a garage can be any one or a combination of the following: parking lot; port; airport; apron; container storage area; large cargo storage area, etc. The method of this disclosure for warehousing is also applicable to the above-mentioned locations and correspondingly improves the efficiency of related warehousing and retrieval.

The storage device 500 can be installed in the movable object 210 and combined with the application control system of the movable object 210 to achieve the functions of rapid storage and timely payment. The storage unit of the device 500 can also use the storage device of the movable object 210, and it is not necessary to have a corresponding storage unit itself. Such technical solutions also fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0042] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the identifier is an electronic signature certificate. According to other embodiments of this disclosure, the movable object is a vehicle, and the identifier includes any one or a combination of the following information: license plate number; license plate validity period; authorizing authority; or electronic signature of the license plate number.
[0043] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the inbound information includes any one or a combination of the following: identifier; inbound request time; fee standard; or fee signature.
[0044] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the apparatus 500 also includes being configured to send stored inbound information to an inbound control device, receive an electronic bill generated by the inbound control device based on the inbound information, and provide the electronic bill to the user of the movable object.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, user payment permission for a movable object is obtained through any one or a combination of the following: a speech recognition system; a facial recognition system; a password payment permission; or user prepayment permission authorization.
[0046] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, it further includes: sending a payment request to a payment system in response to receiving a user's payment permission for a movable object.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, it further includes: in response to receiving a payment request, the payment system pays the corresponding amount to the charging system based on the user's payment permission and electronic bill; and in response to receiving the corresponding amount, the charging system instructs the inbound control device to release the movable object.
[0048] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the entry control device includes any one or a combination of the following: a blocking device; or a photographing device, wherein the entry control device releases the blocking device or takes a photograph in response to any of the following: receiving a response from a movable object indicating receipt of entry information; or receiving a release instruction from a toll system.
[0049] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the parking control device verifies the parking information after receiving it, calculates the parking fee based on the current time, and generates an electronic bill.
[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand this disclosure, this application provides some other embodiments in which the movable object 210 is a vehicle 210. The following is based on this disclosure and combined with… Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Describe the methods and detailed processes for vehicle 210 entering / leaving the warehouse:
[0051] Figure 2 The scene depicts vehicle 210 entering the garage, with vehicle 210 driving towards the garage entrance:
[0052] The device 500 for vehicle entry sends a request to the entry control device 220 to connect, the request including an electronic license plate as a vehicle identifier. The device 500 can be integrated with the vehicle's infotainment system and can be configured on the vehicle 210. The entry control device 220 acquires the electronic license plate as a vehicle identifier, generates entry information 230, signs the entry information 230, and returns it to the device 500. The device 500 receives and stores the entry information 230 and sends a response. Upon receiving the response from the vehicle 210, the entry control device 220 takes a photograph for record-keeping and raises the barrier to allow passage.
[0053] As can be seen, by using the warehousing method of some embodiments of this disclosure, vehicle 210 can achieve rapid warehousing, which greatly shortens the warehousing waiting time. Moreover, the use of electronic license plates rarely presents recognition difficulties, and will not cause vehicle 210 to increase uncertain waiting time due to license plate recognition difficulties.
[0054] Figure 4 The illustration depicts a scenario where vehicle 210 settles its parking fee and exits the parking garage. As vehicle 210 moves towards the garage exit, device 500 sends entry information 230 to control device 220 (note that this is exit control at this point). Upon receiving entry information 230, control device 220 verifies it and, based on the current time and predetermined fee schedule, calculates the parking fee and returns the electronic bill to device 500. Device 500 then sends a payment request to vehicle 210's vehicle control system.
[0055] The vehicle control system asks the driver for permission to pay. The system obtains the driver's response through a voice recognition system and / or facial recognition, performing one or two authentication steps. Upon successful authentication, a payment request is sent to the payment system 450. After verifying the payment request, the payment system 450 transfers the corresponding amount to the user account of the parking system's charging system 460, generates a receipt, and notifies the exit control device 220 to allow passage. The payment system 450 and charging system 460 can be a city wallet payment system, or widely used payment / charging systems such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, or any other payment or charging system suitable for this invention. Upon receiving the exit instruction and checking the payment status, the exit control device 220 takes a photo of the vehicle 210 reaching the exit and raises the barrier to allow passage.
[0056] As can be seen, using the exit methods of some embodiments of this disclosure, vehicle 210 can also achieve rapid exit, greatly shortening the exit waiting time. Furthermore, the use of electronic license plates rarely presents recognition difficulties, preventing vehicle 210 from incurring uncertain waiting times due to license plate recognition problems. Additionally, the use of electronic automatic payment and facial or voice payment authentication can significantly shorten payment waiting time, which also reduces exit waiting time. Overall, compared to the prior art, the above embodiments significantly improve people's travel efficiency and enhance the travel experience.
