Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent parking space management technology, and in particular to an AI-powered intelligent parking payment assistance system. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization and the continuous increase in the number of motor vehicles, problems such as parking difficulties and cumbersome payment processes have become increasingly prominent. Especially in high-density areas such as commercial centers, hospitals, and transportation hubs, traditional manual or semi-automatic parking management models are no longer sufficient to meet the demands for efficient and convenient travel. At the same time, the rapid development of new energy vehicle technology and the increasing prevalence of intelligent vehicles with advanced driver assistance functions such as automatic parking and remote summoning have led to higher demands from users for seamless and interconnected smart parking experiences. Against this backdrop, how to automate and intelligently manage the entire process of vehicle parking, billing, payment, and release has become a crucial issue for the development of smart transportation and smart cities.

[0003] However, existing parking management systems generally suffer from shortcomings such as fragmented parking space information, reliance on manual intervention in the payment process, and a lack of real-time communication capabilities with intelligent vehicles. Especially in scenarios equipped with intelligent parking space managers (such as parking space locks with lifting barriers), when a new energy vehicle with automatic departure capabilities attempts to leave without completing payment, the system often fails to promptly identify the vehicle, confirm the payment status, and automatically remove the physical restrictions, causing the vehicle to become trapped in the parking space, severely impacting user experience and system efficiency. Furthermore, existing solutions largely rely on license plate recognition or manual operation via an app, resulting in high recognition errors, significant response delays, and an inability to deeply integrate with vehicle control systems, making it difficult to support a truly autonomous parking closed loop. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the existing AI-powered intelligent parking payment assistance system, this invention is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the problem to be solved by this invention is: how to achieve a closed-loop coordination of precise vehicle-space matching, seamless billing, automatic payment and physical release when new energy vehicles with automatic parking and autonomous departure functions use smart parking spaces, so as to avoid vehicles being locked due to incomplete payment, thereby supporting a truly unmanned smart parking experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an AI intelligent parking payment assistance system, which includes an intelligent parking space manager module, used to broadcast the device type of the intelligent parking space manager module itself and the latitude and longitude information of the parking space it is located through a built-in Bluetooth communication unit;

[0008] The vehicle communication identification module is installed in new energy vehicles to receive Bluetooth signals broadcast by the intelligent parking space manager module. Based on the latitude and longitude information of the received parking space, it compares it with the vehicle's own positioning data to confirm whether the vehicle has accurately parked in the corresponding intelligent parking space and obtain the billing rules of the current parking space.

[0009] The remote payment processing module is integrated into the mobile terminal bound to the vehicle's onboard unit. During the vehicle's pre-departure phase, based on the fee information obtained by the onboard communication identification module, it initiates an automatic payment request to the cloud-based parking management platform via the network and transmits the payment success status back to the smart parking space manager module via the Bluetooth channel of the Bluetooth communication unit.

[0010] The collaborative control execution module is deployed inside the intelligent parking space manager module. After receiving a payment success notification from the remote payment processing module, it initiates a payment status verification request to the cloud parking management platform, automatically triggers the lowering mechanism to perform the unlocking operation, and sends instructions to the vehicle's on-board communication identification module via the Bluetooth communication unit to enable the vehicle to autonomously start the departure process.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the intelligent parking space manager module includes a parking space information storage submodule, a device type identification submodule, and a Bluetooth broadcast control submodule;

[0012] The parking space information storage submodule is used to pre-store the latitude and longitude information of the physical parking spaces installed by the intelligent parking space manager module;

[0013] The device type identification submodule is used to solidify and output the device type identification code of the intelligent parking space manager module itself. The device type identification code refers to the functional attributes that characterize the intelligent parking space manager module.

[0014] The Bluetooth broadcast control submodule is used to periodically read latitude and longitude information from the parking space information storage submodule and obtain the device type identification code from the device type identification submodule after the intelligent parking space manager module is powered on. It then encapsulates the latitude and longitude information and the device type identification code into a broadcast data packet and broadcasts it to the outside via the built-in Bluetooth communication unit using the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the vehicle communication identification module includes a Bluetooth signal receiving submodule, a vehicle positioning fusion submodule, a parking space matching judgment submodule, and a billing rule parsing submodule.

[0016] The Bluetooth signal receiving submodule is installed in the on-board computing unit of the new energy vehicle to listen to the signals broadcast by the surrounding intelligent parking space manager module through the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, and extract the broadcast data packet containing the latitude and longitude information of the parking space and the device type identification code.

[0017] The vehicle positioning fusion submodule is used to acquire the vehicle's own positioning data, which includes data generated by fusing inertial navigation or visual positioning information from the onboard GNSS module.

[0018] The parking space matching and judgment submodule is used to perform parking space-vehicle position matching and judgment by combining the latitude and longitude information of the parking space obtained by the Bluetooth signal receiving submodule with the current vehicle coordinates output by the vehicle positioning fusion submodule.

[0019] When the geographical deviation between the latitude and longitude information of the parking space and the current vehicle coordinates output by the vehicle positioning fusion submodule is less than a preset threshold and the duration meets the stopping condition, it is determined that the vehicle has accurately parked in the smart parking space and the corresponding parking space identity is locked.

[0020] The billing rule parsing submodule is used to initiate a billing information request to the smart parking space manager module through the established Bluetooth communication link after a parking space matching is successful, and to receive the returned parking space billing parameter set.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the remote payment processing module includes a fee information receiving submodule, a pre-departure trigger detection submodule, an automatic payment execution submodule, and a payment status feedback submodule;

[0022] The fee information receiving submodule is integrated into a mobile terminal bound to the vehicle's onboard unit to receive the parking space billing parameter set parsed and pushed by the onboard communication identification module.

[0023] The pre-departure trigger detection submodule is used to listen for vehicle departure intention signals, which include pre-start behavior sent by the user through the vehicle HMI. When a valid pre-departure event is detected, the payment process is activated.

[0024] The automatic payment execution submodule is used to automatically generate a payment request message based on the received parking space billing parameter set after a valid pre-departure event is triggered, and initiate a non-interactive automatic deduction operation to the cloud parking management platform through the network, and wait for the platform to return the transaction result;

[0025] The payment status feedback submodule is used to encapsulate the payment success status into a Bluetooth notification message after receiving the payment success confirmation information returned by the cloud parking management platform, and then transmit it back to the smart parking space manager module whose identity has been locked through the Bluetooth channel established by the Bluetooth communication unit of the mobile terminal.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the collaborative control execution module includes a payment notification receiving submodule, a cloud verification request submodule, a lowering control execution submodule, and a departure instruction issuing submodule;

[0027] The payment notification receiving submodule is deployed inside the smart parking space manager module. It listens to the Bluetooth channel from the vehicle through the built-in Bluetooth communication unit. After receiving the payment success notification message sent by the remote payment processing module, it parses the transaction identifier and parking space identity information contained in the payment success notification message to initially capture the local payment event.

[0028] The cloud verification request submodule is used to initiate a payment status verification request to the cloud parking management platform based on the transaction identifier after the payment notification receiving submodule confirms that a valid payment success notification has been received, and waits for the payment verification result returned by the cloud parking management platform.

[0029] The lowering control execution submodule is used to drive the electromechanical drive execution unit after receiving the verification response from the cloud parking management platform that the payment has been confirmed and is valid. This automatically triggers the lowering mechanism to perform a physical unlocking operation, so that the parking space barrier is lowered below the ground, thereby removing the mechanical restriction on the vehicle's departure.

[0030] The departure command issuing submodule is used to send a departure permission command to the vehicle communication identification module of the bound vehicle via Bluetooth communication unit after the lowering action is completed. The departure permission command includes a parking space release confirmation code and a timestamp, which is used to trigger the vehicle to start the autonomous departure process.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the Bluetooth communication unit is integrated into the intelligent parking space manager module, including a low-power Bluetooth chip and an antenna, supporting the broadcasting of parking space identity information and the establishment of directional communication connections with vehicles;

[0032] The vehicle-mounted unit is installed inside a new energy vehicle, integrating a communication module and a secure payment environment, and running a remote payment processing module;

[0033] The on-board computing unit is deployed in the vehicle electronic system, runs the on-board communication and identification module, and outputs vehicle coordinates for parking space matching;

[0034] The electromechanical drive execution unit is installed inside the intelligent berth manager module, responds to the lowering control signal, drives the lifting baffle to complete the unlocking action, and provides feedback on the execution status.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the AI ​​intelligent parking payment assistance system of the present invention, the on-board computing unit includes a position matching stopping determination formula for judging whether the vehicle has come to a stable stop in the target parking space, the specific formula being:

[0036]

[0038] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an AI-powered intelligent parking payment assistance method, which includes: broadcasting the device type of the intelligent parking space manager module itself and the latitude and longitude information of the parking space it is located through a built-in Bluetooth communication unit;

[0039] Installed in new energy vehicles, it receives Bluetooth signals broadcast by the smart parking space manager module, compares the received latitude and longitude information of the parking space with the vehicle's own positioning data, confirms whether the vehicle has accurately parked in the corresponding smart parking space, and obtains the current parking space's billing rules.

[0040] Integrated into the mobile terminal bound to the vehicle's onboard unit, during the vehicle's pre-departure phase, based on the fee information obtained by the onboard communication identification module, an automatic payment request is initiated to the cloud-based parking management platform via the network, and the payment success status is transmitted back to the smart parking space manager module via the Bluetooth channel of the Bluetooth communication unit.

[0041] Deployed within the intelligent parking space manager module, after receiving a payment success notification from the remote payment processing module, it initiates a payment status verification request to the cloud-based parking management platform, automatically triggers the lowering mechanism to perform an unlocking operation, and sends instructions to the vehicle's onboard communication identification module via Bluetooth communication unit, enabling the vehicle to autonomously initiate the departure process.

[0042] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement any step of the above-mentioned AI intelligent parking payment assistance system.

[0043] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein: when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements any step of the above-described AI intelligent parking payment assistance system.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By constructing a Bluetooth near-field communication mechanism between the vehicle and the intelligent parking space manager, this invention achieves automatic and accurate matching of vehicles and parking spaces, real-time acquisition of billing information, contactless payment triggered by pre-departure, and automatic lowering of the parking barrier after successful payment. This effectively solves the problems of fragmented vehicle-space information, reliance on manual operation, high communication latency, and inability to coordinate with autonomous vehicles in existing parking systems. The entire process does not require users to manually scan codes or operate the APP, avoiding the risk of vehicles being trapped due to non-payment. It significantly improves the automation level, traffic efficiency, and user experience in intelligent parking scenarios, while providing reliable technical support for the closed-loop autonomous parking of autonomous vehicles.

[0054] Example

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an AI-powered intelligent parking payment assistance system, comprising:

[0056] S1: Intelligent parking space manager module, used to broadcast its own device type and the latitude and longitude information of the parking space it is in via the built-in Bluetooth communication unit.

[0057] The intelligent parking space manager module includes a parking space information storage submodule, a device type identification submodule, and a Bluetooth broadcast control submodule.

[0058] The parking space information storage submodule is used to pre-store the latitude and longitude information of the physical parking spaces installed by the intelligent parking space manager module;

[0059] The Equipment Type Identifier Submodule is used to solidify and output the Equipment Type Identifier Code of the Intelligent Parking Manager Module itself. The Equipment Type Identifier Code refers to the functional attributes that characterize the Intelligent Parking Manager Module.

[0060] The Bluetooth broadcast control submodule is used to periodically read latitude and longitude information from the parking space information storage submodule and obtain the device type identification code from the device type identification submodule after the smart parking space manager module is powered on. It then encapsulates the latitude and longitude information and the device type identification code into a broadcast data packet and broadcasts it to the outside via the built-in Bluetooth communication unit using the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.

[0061] Furthermore, the intelligent parking space manager module consists of three collaborative sub-modules: a parking space information storage sub-module, a device type identification sub-module, and a Bluetooth broadcast control sub-module. The parking space information storage sub-module is written with the precise latitude and longitude information of the corresponding physical parking space during the device deployment phase and maintains stable readability of this data during operation. The device type identification sub-module contains a fixed identification code representing the functional attributes of the parking space, such as whether it is a dedicated parking space for new energy vehicles, a barrier-free parking space, or a hybrid parking space with charging capabilities, used to convey the service type to vehicles. After the intelligent parking space manager is powered on, the Bluetooth broadcast control sub-module actively reads latitude and longitude data from the parking space information storage sub-module at set intervals and simultaneously obtains the identification code from the device type identification sub-module. It combines the two into a structured broadcast data packet and continuously broadcasts it outwards through the built-in low-power Bluetooth communication unit, enabling nearby new energy vehicles with automatic parking capabilities to perceive and identify the parking space's identity and location information in real time, laying the foundation for subsequent automatic matching and payment processes.

[0062] Furthermore, the intelligent parking space manager module integrates three closely cooperating sub-modules: a parking space information storage sub-module, a device type identification sub-module, and a Bluetooth broadcast control sub-module. During the installation and commissioning phase of the parking space, the parking space information storage submodule is written by the operation and maintenance system via wired or wireless means to the unique latitude and longitude data of the physical parking space in the global geographic coordinate system. This location information remains read-only, tamper-proof, and can be accessed locally at any time throughout the entire life cycle of the device. The device type identification submodule, on the other hand, embeds a unique identification code representing the service attribute of the parking space at the factory or during configuration, such as dedicated for new energy vehicles, accessible parking space, or parking space with charging pile, to clarify the functional category and usage rights of vehicles. The Bluetooth broadcast control submodule, as the coordination hub, polls the above two submodules at preset time intervals (such as every 500 milliseconds) after the device is powered on, obtains the latitude and longitude of the current parking space and the device type identification code, encapsulates the two into a standardized broadcast payload according to a unified data format, and continuously transmits them to the outside world in broadcast mode through the built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication unit. This ensures that new energy vehicles driving or parked in the vicinity can capture the complete identity information of the parking space in real time through the vehicle Bluetooth, thereby accurately determining whether they have parked in the target parking space and triggering the subsequent billing and payment linkage process.

[0063] S2: Vehicle communication and identification module, which is installed in new energy vehicles to receive Bluetooth signals broadcast by the intelligent parking space manager module, compare the received latitude and longitude information of the parking space with the vehicle's own positioning data, confirm whether the vehicle has accurately parked in the corresponding intelligent parking space, and obtain the billing rules of the current parking space.

[0064] The vehicle communication identification module includes a Bluetooth signal receiving submodule, a vehicle positioning fusion submodule, a parking space matching judgment submodule, and a billing rule parsing submodule.

[0065] The Bluetooth signal receiving submodule is used to be installed in the on-board computing unit of new energy vehicles to listen to the signals broadcast by the surrounding intelligent parking space manager module through the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, and extract the broadcast data packets containing the latitude and longitude information of the parking space and the device type identification code.

[0066] The vehicle positioning fusion submodule is used to acquire the vehicle's own positioning data, which includes data generated by fusing inertial navigation or visual positioning information from the onboard GNSS module.

[0067] The parking space matching and judgment submodule is used to perform parking space-vehicle position matching and judgment by combining the latitude and longitude information of the parking space obtained by the Bluetooth signal receiving submodule with the current vehicle coordinates output by the vehicle positioning fusion submodule.

[0068] When the geographical deviation between the latitude and longitude information of the parking space and the current vehicle coordinates output by the vehicle positioning fusion submodule is less than a preset threshold and the duration meets the stopping condition, it is determined that the vehicle has accurately parked in the smart parking space and the corresponding parking space identity is locked.

[0069] The billing rule parsing submodule is used to send a billing information request to the smart parking manager module through the established Bluetooth communication link after a parking space is successfully matched, and to receive the returned parking space billing parameter set.

[0070] Furthermore, the vehicle communication and identification module is integrated into the vehicle computing unit of the new energy vehicle, consisting of four functionally distinct and sequentially coordinated sub-modules: a Bluetooth signal receiving sub-module, a vehicle positioning fusion sub-module, a parking space matching judgment sub-module, and a billing rule parsing sub-module. Specifically, the Bluetooth signal receiving sub-module continuously scans for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcast signals in the surrounding environment, filtering and parsing data packets sent by the intelligent parking space manager module, extracting the target parking space's latitude and longitude coordinates and equipment type identification code contained within. The vehicle positioning fusion sub-module simultaneously collects multi-source data from onboard GNSS, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and visual or laser positioning systems, generating high-precision, interference-resistant real-time vehicle position coordinates through sensor fusion algorithms. The parking space matching judgment sub-module compares the above two sources of information; when it detects a discrepancy between the vehicle's current position and the geographical coordinates of a broadcast parking space, it determines the correct location. If the distance difference is less than a preset distance threshold (e.g., 1.5 meters), and the state continuously meets the set stopping time condition (e.g., the vehicle speed is zero for more than 3 consecutive seconds), it is determined that the vehicle has stably parked in the smart parking space, and the parking space is locked as the current service target. Subsequently, the billing rule parsing submodule actively sends a billing information request to the smart parking space manager module based on the established point-to-point Bluetooth connection, and receives the structured parking space billing parameter set returned by it (including billing unit price, start time, preferential policies and current cumulative fees), providing complete and accurate fee basis for subsequent automatic payment, thereby achieving seamless connection from parking space recognition to billing preparation.

[0071] Furthermore, meeting the stopping stability requirement for an extended period means that after entering the effective distance range of the target parking space, the vehicle's position must remain stable for a certain period. This includes two aspects: first, the geographical deviation between the vehicle and the target parking space must remain less than a preset distance threshold (e.g., 1.5 meters); second, during this period, the vehicle's motion indicates that it has actually stopped, meaning the vehicle speed remains zero or below a very low threshold (e.g., 0.5 km / h) without significant acceleration changes. This is typically determined by the vehicle speed signal obtained through the vehicle's CAN bus or inertial sensor data. Only when the aforementioned spatial position stability and vehicle stationary state simultaneously reach the system's minimum set time (e.g., 3 consecutive seconds or more) is the vehicle considered to have completed the parking action and truly stopped, thus triggering the parking space identification lock and subsequent billing process. This effectively avoids mismatches caused by vehicles briefly approaching, slowly passing through, or positioning jitter.

[0072] S3: Remote payment processing module, which is integrated into the mobile terminal bound to the vehicle's onboard unit. During the vehicle's pre-departure phase, based on the fee information obtained by the onboard communication identification module, it initiates an automatic payment request to the cloud-based parking management platform via the network, and transmits the successful payment status back to the smart parking space manager module through the Bluetooth channel of the Bluetooth communication unit.

[0073] The remote payment processing module includes a fee information receiving submodule, a pre-departure trigger detection submodule, an automatic payment execution submodule, and a payment status feedback submodule.

[0074] The fee information receiving submodule is integrated into a mobile terminal bound to the vehicle's onboard unit to receive the parking space billing parameter set parsed and pushed by the onboard communication identification module;

[0075] The pre-departure trigger detection submodule is used to listen for vehicle departure intention signals, which include pre-start behavior issued by the user through the vehicle HMI. When a valid pre-departure event is detected, the payment process is activated.

[0076] The automatic payment execution submodule is used to automatically generate a payment request message based on the received parking space billing parameter set after a valid pre-departure event is triggered, and initiate a non-interactive automatic deduction operation to the cloud parking management platform through the network, and wait for the platform to return the transaction result;

[0077] The payment status feedback submodule is used to encapsulate the payment success status into a Bluetooth notification message after receiving the payment success confirmation information returned by the cloud parking management platform. This message is then transmitted back to the identified smart parking space manager module via the Bluetooth communication unit established by the mobile terminal.

[0078] Furthermore, the remote payment processing module is deployed in a mobile terminal (such as a smartphone or in-vehicle smart terminal) bound to the vehicle's onboard unit. It consists of four closely interconnected sub-modules: a fee information receiving sub-module, a pre-departure trigger detection sub-module, an automatic payment execution sub-module, and a payment status feedback sub-module. The fee information receiving sub-module first receives a complete set of parking space billing parameters pushed by the onboard communication identification module. This parameter set includes structured data such as the billing unit price, billing start time, applicable preferential policies, and current accumulated fees. Subsequently, the pre-departure trigger detection sub-module continuously monitors departure intention signals from the vehicle control system. These signals may include user actions such as calling the vehicle via the onboard human-machine interface (HMI), initiating automatic departure via voice command, remotely waking the vehicle via a mobile app, or the vehicle detecting door unlocking accompanied by power activation. Once a valid pre-departure event is identified, the payment process is immediately activated. The automatic payment execution sub-module then proceeds based on the acquired billing parameters... The system automatically generates payment request messages that conform to the interface specifications of the cloud-based parking management platform. Without requiring manual confirmation from the user, it initiates a non-interactive automatic deduction operation via 4G / 5G network and waits for the platform to return the transaction result. After receiving the payment success confirmation from the cloud, the payment status feedback submodule encapsulates the result into a standardized Bluetooth notification message. Through the Bluetooth communication unit built into the mobile terminal, it uses the previously established directional Bluetooth connection to securely and reliably transmit the payment success status back to the identified smart parking space manager module, thereby triggering the subsequent release control process and realizing a seamless closed-loop experience of automatic payment upon pre-departure and notification of release upon payment.

[0079] S4: Collaborative control execution module, deployed inside the intelligent parking space manager module. After receiving a payment success notification from the remote payment processing module, it initiates a payment status verification request to the cloud parking management platform, automatically triggers the lowering mechanism to perform the unlocking operation, and sends instructions to the vehicle's on-board communication identification module via Bluetooth communication unit to enable the vehicle to autonomously start the departure process.

[0080] The collaborative control execution module includes a payment notification receiving submodule, a cloud verification request submodule, a drop control execution submodule, and a departure instruction issuance submodule.

[0081] The payment notification receiving submodule is deployed inside the smart parking space manager module. It listens to the Bluetooth channel from the vehicle through the built-in Bluetooth communication unit. After receiving the payment success notification message sent by the remote payment processing module, it parses the transaction identifier and parking space identity information contained in the payment success notification message to initially capture the local payment event.

[0082] The cloud verification request submodule is used to initiate a payment status verification request to the cloud parking management platform based on the transaction identifier after the payment notification receiving submodule confirms that a valid payment success notification has been received, and waits for the payment verification result returned by the cloud parking management platform.

[0083] The lowering control execution submodule is used to drive the electromechanical drive execution unit after receiving a verification response from the cloud parking management platform confirming that the payment has been confirmed. This automatically triggers the lowering mechanism to perform a physical unlocking operation, causing the parking space barrier to drop below the ground and removing the mechanical restriction on the vehicle's departure.

[0084] The departure command issuing submodule is used to send a departure permission command to the vehicle's onboard communication identification module via Bluetooth communication unit after the lowering action is completed. The departure permission command includes a parking space release confirmation code and a timestamp, which is used to trigger the vehicle's autonomous departure process.

[0085] Furthermore, the collaborative control execution module is built into the intelligent parking space manager module and consists of four sequentially linked sub-modules: a payment notification receiving sub-module, a cloud verification request sub-module, a lowering control execution sub-module, and a departure command issuance sub-module. The payment notification receiving sub-module continuously monitors Bluetooth connections from bound vehicles via the built-in Bluetooth communication unit of the intelligent parking space manager. Upon receiving a payment success notification message from the remote payment processing module, it immediately parses the unique transaction identifier and parking space identity information contained within, completing the initial identification and recording of the local payment event. Subsequently, the cloud verification request sub-module, based on the transaction identifier, proactively initiates a payment status verification request to the cloud parking management platform through the 4G / NB-IoT communication modules integrated into the intelligent parking space manager to ensure the authenticity and validity of the payment result, and awaits an authoritative verification response from the platform. Upon confirmation of receipt... After successful payment verification, the lowering control execution submodule outputs a control signal to drive the electromechanical drive execution unit (such as a motor or electromagnetic push rod) to smoothly lower the lifting barrier below the ground, completely removing the physical obstruction to the vehicle's departure. After the lowering mechanism is in place and reports the completion status, the departure command issuing submodule sends a structured permission to leave command to the vehicle's onboard communication identification module via the same Bluetooth communication unit. This command includes a parking space release confirmation code and a timestamp, which is used to notify the vehicle's autonomous driving system to initiate the autonomous departure process, thereby achieving complete closed-loop collaborative control from payment verification to mechanical release and vehicle response.

[0086] Furthermore, the collaborative control execution module, as the core control unit of the intelligent parking space manager, consists of four highly collaborative, sequentially executed sub-modules: a payment notification receiving sub-module, a cloud verification request sub-module, a lowering control execution sub-module, and a departure command issuance sub-module. Specifically, after the vehicle completes automatic payment, the payment notification receiving sub-module listens in real-time for payment success notification messages from the vehicle via an established point-to-point Bluetooth connection. Upon receiving the message, it immediately parses key information, including a unique transaction identifier generated by the cloud and the current parking space's identification code, thereby confirming the association between this payment event and the current parking space locally. Next, based on the transaction identifier, the cloud verification request sub-module proactively initiates an independent payment status query request to the cloud parking management platform using the intelligent parking space manager's built-in cellular communication module (such as 4G or NB-IoT) to verify a second time whether the transaction has been genuinely completed and credited, preventing accidental release due to network anomalies, message forgery, or reuse. Only after receiving a confirmed payment confirmation response from the cloud will the lowering control execution sub-module... The output drive circuit is activated to send precise control signals to the electromechanical drive execution unit (such as a DC geared motor or electromagnetic push rod), causing it to smoothly lower the lifting baffle from the raised blocking state to be flush with the ground, completing the physical unlocking. The lowering status is fed back through limit switches or Hall sensors to ensure the reliable completion of the action. Finally, after confirming that the mechanical unlocking has been completed, the departure command issuing submodule sends a structured departure permission command to the vehicle's on-board communication identification module through the same Bluetooth communication channel.
