Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of shared vehicle management, and in particular to a method and apparatus for managing shared vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread deployment of shared vehicles in cities, users have gained a convenient mode of transportation, but this has also led to serious problems with haphazard parking. To regulate parking order, operating platforms typically mark recommended parking areas—i.e., parking spots—on maps using precise positioning and electronic fence technology, guiding users to "park at designated spots." Some cities have also installed hardware such as Bluetooth beacons in parking spaces, requiring vehicles to recognize the signal within designated parking spaces before they can be locked and returned; otherwise, they cannot be locked or returned, ensuring that shared vehicles are parked in legal areas. Furthermore, the service agreements of shared vehicle platforms generally explicitly require users to park vehicles in recommended parking areas or parking spots stipulated by relevant laws and regulations; otherwise, the platform can charge illegal parking management fees or dispatch fees for parking outside designated areas or returning vehicles illegally. These measures have regulated the parking order of shared vehicles to some extent; however, most treat all users the same, meaning all users are subject to the same management strategy, lacking strategies for differentiated management for different user groups.

[0003] In reality, different users, such as frequent users and members who pay monthly service fees, have different management needs for parking spots. Therefore, the approach of using the same management strategy for all users in related technologies is difficult to meet the parking or return needs of different users, thereby reducing the operational efficiency of shared vehicles.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Currently, the parking and return management of shared vehicles adopts the same management strategy for all users, lacking refined segmentation for differentiated management of different user groups, which makes it difficult to improve the operational efficiency and user experience of shared vehicles.

[0022] Based on this, the shared vehicle management method and device provided by the embodiments of the present invention can effectively improve the level of refinement of shared vehicle parking and return management, provide refined and differentiated services for users at different levels, and thus significantly improve operational efficiency and user satisfaction.

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a management method for shared vehicles disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will first be described in detail.

[0024] In one possible implementation, this invention provides a method for managing shared vehicles. This method can be applied to a backend server for shared vehicle operation or to a user terminal. Users install a corresponding application (APP) for the shared vehicles on their terminals, register as legitimate users through the APP, and then log in to the backend server to use the shared vehicles. Furthermore, the shared vehicles in this invention include shared bicycles, shared electric bicycles, shared cars, etc., specifically, such as... Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates a method for managing shared vehicles, which includes the following steps: Step S102: Respond to the vehicle return request sent by the user terminal and obtain the location information of the shared vehicle; Step S104: Determine the current parking spot and its type based on the location information; In actual use, users can unlock shared vehicles by scanning the vehicle identification, such as a QR code containing vehicle information, using their user terminals. After use, users need to park the shared vehicle at a pre-planned parking spot. This parking spot refers to a pre-planned recommended parking area. To standardize vehicle returns and avoid haphazard parking, users are typically only allowed to return vehicles within the designated parking area. Returns outside of designated areas usually incur a dispatch fee. Therefore, in this embodiment, upon receiving a return request from a user via their user terminal, the system further obtains the shared vehicle's location information to determine if the current location is within the designated parking area. If so, the system further determines the current parking spot and its type based on the location information.

[0025] Step S106: Determine whether the user level corresponding to the user terminal matches the type of the parking spot; Step S108: If yes, send a message to the user terminal indicating successful vehicle return.

[0026] In practical use, this embodiment of the invention sets up different types of parking spots within the operating area of ​​the shared vehicles to facilitate more refined management of the shared vehicle operation based on traffic flow, geographical location, and management requirements. Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also classifies users into different levels, such as based on user recharge consumption and usage frequency, and matches different types of parking spots with user types to improve the precision of parking management based on user level and parking spot type. In step S106, if it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal does not match the parking spot type, the user is prompted that returning the vehicle is prohibited at the current parking spot, or that a certain dispatch fee needs to be charged, etc., to guide the user to the corresponding parking spot for returning the vehicle.

[0027] Therefore, the shared vehicle management method provided by this invention can respond to a user terminal's return request and obtain the shared vehicle's location information; determine the current parking spot and its type based on the location information; determine whether the user terminal's user level matches the parking spot type; if so, send a successful return notification to the user terminal; that is, users need to return the vehicle at a parking spot that matches their user level, which can effectively guide users to return the vehicle in a standardized manner within the planned parking spots, thereby reducing the scheduling costs caused by blind parking. At the same time, based on the user level and the parking spot type, it can also effectively improve the precision of shared vehicle parking management, reduce management costs, and provide differentiated services for users with different user levels, significantly improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction.

[0028] In practical use, the parking spot types in this embodiment of the invention include a first type, a second type, and a third type; the user levels include a first level, a second level, and a third level; wherein, the first type of parking spot allows users of the first level, the second level, and the third level to return the vehicle; the second type of parking spot allows users of the second level and the third level to return the vehicle; and, a return penalty rule is set for users of the first level; the third type of parking spot allows users of the third level to return the vehicle, and users of the first level and the second level are prohibited from returning the vehicle.

[0029] Typically, the parking spots mentioned above can be categorized into the first, second, and third types within the operating range of shared vehicles based on factors such as traffic flow, geographical location, and management requirements. In addition to the above-mentioned parking spot categories, ordinary parking spots are also included. Furthermore, the backend server can mark each parking spot, such as whether it belongs to the first, second, or third type of special parking spot, or whether it is marked as an ordinary parking spot.

[0030] Furthermore, the aforementioned user levels are typically determined based on a user's consumption records and historical vehicle usage records. Specifically, the backend server can periodically obtain user identity information, search for the corresponding consumption records and historical vehicle usage records, and determine the user level corresponding to the user identity information based on the consumption records and historical vehicle usage records. For example, user spending records can be accumulated, or user usage frequency can be statistically analyzed. Alternatively, user levels can be dynamically assessed based on recent (e.g., the frequency of shared vehicle use and spending amount) data. For instance, based on accumulated spending, a user can be classified as a higher level, such as Level 2 or Level 3, for a future period. Typically, Level 1 users are considered ordinary users. As a user's level increases, their parking privileges also increase. For example, for Type 1 parking spots, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 users are allowed to return vehicles; that is, all users can legally return vehicles at Type 1 parking spots without incurring additional fees. For Type 2 parking spots, only Level 2 and Level 3 users are allowed to return vehicles. Furthermore, Level 1 users are subject to return penalty rules; for example, if a Level 1 user returns a vehicle at a Type 2 parking spot, it is considered illegal parking and a dispatch penalty fee will be charged. For Type 3 parking spots, neither Level 1 nor Level 2 users have permission to return vehicles; these spots are only open to Level 3 users.

[0031] In practical use, the first type of parking spots mentioned above mostly refer to parking spots with relatively poor mobility of shared vehicles. To avoid shared vehicles spending too much time idle at these first-type parking spots, operators usually discourage returning vehicles at them. Furthermore, the second type of parking spots can be parking spots in pre-planned target areas, such as dedicated parking spots set up in industrial parks, office buildings, and commercial areas. Of course, in addition to the second type of parking spots, there can also be regular parking spots in these target areas. Typically, the corresponding second-level users can be associated users in the target area, such as staff or resident personnel. Users can apply to register as second-level users through their user terminals. Furthermore, the third type of parking spots can be parking spots specifically for third-level or advanced-level users; other levels of users are prohibited from returning or using the vehicles.

[0032] Typically, the backend server can mark each user's user level. When a user returns the car, the backend server can determine whether the user level matches the type of the current parking spot, and then determine whether the user is allowed to return the car.

[0033] Specifically, based on the aforementioned user level and parking spot type, in step S106, when determining whether the user level corresponding to the user terminal matches the parking spot type, if the parking spot type is the first type, then it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal matches the parking spot type, that is, parking spots of the first type allow users of the first, second, and third levels to return the car; furthermore, if the parking spot type is the second type, then it is determined whether the user level corresponding to the user terminal is the second or third level; wherein, parking spots of the second type allow users of the second and third levels to return the car; and, a return penalty rule is set for users of the first level; if yes, it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal matches the parking spot type; if no, it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal does not match the parking spot type, and the return penalty rule is displayed through the graphical user interface. That is, the second type of parking spot allows users of the second and third levels to return their vehicles; and a penalty rule is set for users of the first level to return their vehicles; further, if the parking spot type is the third type, it is determined whether the user level corresponding to the user terminal is the third level; wherein, the third type of parking spot allows users of the third level to return their vehicles, and users of the first and second levels are prohibited from returning their vehicles; if yes, it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal matches the type of parking spot; if no, it is determined that the user level corresponding to the user terminal does not match the type of parking spot, and a prompt message prohibiting the return of vehicles is displayed through the graphical user interface, that is, the third type of parking spot only allows users of the third level to return their vehicles, and refuses users of other levels to return their vehicles. When other users return their vehicles at the third type of parking spot, they can be prompted that the current parking spot is only open to users of the third level, and other parking spots can be recommended.

[0034] Furthermore, users can also query available parking spots through their user terminals, such as before returning the car or when they need to use the car. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, in response to a parking spot query request, the system can obtain the user level corresponding to the user terminal; query parking spots within a preset distance range that match the user level; and display the location information of the queried parking spots through a graphical user interface.

[0035] Specifically, if the user level is Level 1 or Level 2, then other parking spots within a preset distance range, excluding Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, will be queried; if the user level is Level 3, then parking spots within a preset distance range will be queried.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, when displaying the queried parking spots, the location information of parking spots matching the user's level can be displayed through a graphical user interface; and the location information of parking spots that do not match the user's level is not displayed. That is, when a user queries available parking spots, in this embodiment of the invention, parking spots are dynamically displayed according to the user's level. Typically, for users at the first and second levels, only ordinary parking spots are displayed, that is, the markers for the aforementioned first, second, and third types of parking spots are hidden and not displayed. For users at the third level, all parking spots within a preset distance range are displayed, that is, ordinary parking spots and parking spots of the first, second, and third types are displayed. For parking spots of the third type, special markers can be displayed, such as highlighting, or using other colors or rendering methods for prompt display. For parking spots of the first and second types, prompts can be displayed or not, which can be set according to the actual usage situation. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, historical order heat map information can also be obtained; this information is used to characterize peak usage periods for shared vehicles; and the type of parking spot can be adjusted based on this information. For example, the backend server monitors the usage of each parking spot in real time and can dynamically adjust the category or opening status of the parking spot according to the time period and historical order heat map information. For example, during peak commuting hours, some ordinary parking spots can be temporarily upgraded to third-type parking spots to prioritize access for users with higher user levels, thereby alleviating local parking pressure. Simultaneously, capacity thresholds can be set for parking spots and warnings can be issued; for example, when the number of shared vehicles parked in a certain area approaches saturation, an alert is triggered or a dispatch instruction is automatically generated.

[0038] Furthermore, the backend server in this embodiment of the invention can analyze parking spot usage data and user behavior to support intelligent management of shared vehicles. For example, it can provide data support by collecting data such as parking traffic, occupancy rate, and user level distribution at each parking spot, providing a basis for planning and adjusting parking spots, and optimizing the distribution and quantity of various types of parking spots based on historical data. It also provides real-time alerts and scheduling: for example, for a configured operating area, it can automatically issue an alert when the number of parked shared vehicles exceeds a certain proportion, and can coordinate with maintenance personnel to promptly clear or guide users to park shared vehicles in nearby vacant parking spots. Finally, it enables user management: for example, the backend server dynamically tracks user usage of shared vehicles, regularly reviews the list of third-level users, and adjusts their permission levels if it finds a decrease in user activity or an increase in violation rate. It can also provide promotion channels for high-performing ordinary users, such as encouraging first-level users to upgrade. In addition, the backend server can flexibly modify parking spot classifications, electronic fence ranges, and parking fee settings according to urban management requirements and operational strategies, enabling dynamic distribution of operational strategies without requiring client upgrades each time.

[0039] In summary, the shared vehicle management method provided by this invention, by introducing a hierarchical management mechanism and dynamic adjustment strategy for parking spots and user levels during the operation of shared vehicles, has the following beneficial effects: (1) Standardize parking order: Set different parking access permissions for high-value users, such as the third-level users mentioned above and ordinary users, effectively guide users to park in a standardized manner within the planned operation area, and reduce fines and manual dispatch costs caused by users blindly parking shared vehicles.

[0040] (2) Reduce illegal parking: Since the back-end server can automatically identify the user level and remind or punish illegal parking behavior, it greatly suppresses the parking behavior of users in no-parking zones or unplanned areas and improves the overall parking compliance rate.

[0041] (3) Improve user satisfaction: Provide exclusive parking privileges for users with higher user levels, such as setting up third-level parking spots for third-level users, so that third-level users can use some parking spots where returning cars is usually prohibited, thereby enhancing user experience and stickiness; at the same time, let ordinary users know where they can park, reducing anxiety about finding parking spots.

[0042] (4) Optimize resource utilization: Dynamic visibility and access control enable operators to manage parking resources in a “tidal” elastic manner. For example, during peak hours, priority can be given to ensuring the parking needs of high-value users (users with higher user levels), while during off-peak hours, more ordinary parking spots can be opened to balance vehicle distribution and reduce local congestion.

[0043] (5) Improve operational efficiency: The back-end server can achieve automated management to reduce the need for manual intervention. Through data analysis and early warning mechanisms, it can promptly detect and respond to abnormalities at parking spots, thereby improving dispatch efficiency and vehicle turnover rate.

[0044] Therefore, the shared vehicle management method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can effectively improve the level of precision in shared vehicle parking management by utilizing intelligent user identification and parking point management strategies, reduce management costs, and provide differentiated services for users at different levels, thereby significantly improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction.
