Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking equipment technology, specifically to a predictive and direct selection operating device. Background Technology

[0002] Parking equipment is widely used in China. The operating device is a crucial component of parking equipment, used for human-machine interaction when parking or retrieving vehicles. This includes the control box, which initially used a physical keyboard to input the vehicle plate number or an IC card (with information embedded in the IC card corresponding to the vehicle plate number). In the last decade, the cost of touchscreens has significantly decreased, leading to the emergence of control boxes that use touchscreens instead of physical keyboards. This resulted in a more complex system combining keyboard input of the vehicle plate number, IC card swiping, facial recognition, and license plate number input. Furthermore, different types of parking equipment have different operating device configurations and operating methods, leading to poor compatibility, high costs, low standardization, cumbersome maintenance, and complex operation. Therefore, finding a technical solution for an operating device that is structurally simple, low-cost, highly standardized, and compatible with different types of parking equipment will be a major innovation in the industry, significantly promoting the application of parking equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of existing parking equipment operating devices, such as poor compatibility, high cost, low standardization, troublesome maintenance, and complex operation.

[0004] First, let's do a basic analysis:

[0005] 1. With the advancement of technology, the traditional method of entering the vehicle board number or swiping an IC card at the operation box is no longer necessary.

[0006] 2. Complex operation methods for parking equipment (especially public parking equipment) significantly increase the user's workload and reduce their interest in using it; simple and practical operation is the direction for improvement.

[0007] 3. Although facial recognition technology is very reliable, in actual use there are situations where the person retrieving the car is not necessarily the person parking it. Therefore, a simple operating device that uses facial recognition technology obviously cannot meet the requirements.

[0008] 4. Although license plate recognition technology is very reliable, it is obviously ineffective for new cars without license plates or for license plates that are covered or obscured. Therefore, the operating device should be able to meet the needs of vehicle access in such situations.

[0009] 5. By thoroughly analyzing the characteristics of different types of parking equipment and adopting reasonable structures and software / hardware coordination, the differences between different types of parking equipment can be effectively increased, thus enhancing the compatibility of the operating devices.

[0010] The following is a detailed analysis of how to achieve compatibility.

[0011] Parking equipment can be divided into two main categories: single-space setups and multi-space setups. Multi-space setups can be further categorized based on whether the vehicle platform or rack can only be stationary in one parking space and whether long-term parking is permitted in the vehicle entrance / exit area.

[0012] The first type includes common vertical lifting, planar moving, and aisle stacking parking systems and their derivatives. The vehicle platform or rack can only be stationary in one parking space, and vehicles are not allowed to park for extended periods in the vehicle entrance / exit area. Vertical lifting parking systems typically have only one fixed vehicle entrance / exit area, while planar moving and aisle stacking parking systems may have multiple fixed vehicle entrance / exit areas.

[0013] The second type includes common lift-and-slide, vertical circulation, and their derivatives. The stationary position of the vehicle carrier is uncertain and changes as the vehicle carrier is moved, and long-term parking is allowed in the vehicle entrance and exit areas. Among them, vertical circulation parking equipment has only one fixed vehicle entrance and exit area, while lift-and-slide parking equipment has multiple vehicle entrance and exit areas (actually ground-level parking spaces).

[0014] Existing operating devices fall into two categories: one associates the parked vehicle with its corresponding parking space, and the other associates it with its corresponding vehicle carrier. Since traditional lift-and-slide parking systems use position sensors to determine the vehicle carrier's location in real time, a new design distinct from these two types is needed. In summary, for multi-space parking systems, existing technologies offer at least three different structural forms and operating control devices.

[0015] This invention associates vehicles parked in the first type of parking equipment with corresponding vehicle carriers or comb frames, and uniformly defines vehicle carriers or comb frames as vehicle vehicles; it also associates vehicles parked in the second type of parking equipment with corresponding vehicle carriers, and uniformly defines vehicle carriers as vehicle vehicles; furthermore, it specifically addresses traditional lifting and traversing parking equipment by setting a dynamically updated vehicle vehicle number-parking space number lookup table in the control system and / or main control unit, from which the current parking space position of any vehicle vehicle can be uniquely determined; thus, this invention only needs to assign a unique number to each vehicle vehicle in the parking equipment, and associate the parked vehicle with the corresponding vehicle vehicle number, to achieve the goal of making one structural form and operation control device compatible with all multi-space parking equipment (including traditional lifting and traversing parking equipment).

[0016] In addition, the present invention adopts intelligent prediction and transparent simplified operation, so that most parking or retrieval operations can be completed with only two button selections, including the confirmation button.

[0017] Based on the above analysis, the basic technical solution adopted by the parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device of the present invention is as follows:

[0031] The second shooting unit is triggered by a signal from the main control module or the main control and drive module and / or by a jump signal from the distance detection element to enter the image shooting working state.

[0032] Furthermore, according to the aforementioned parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device, the operation control of the operation device is characterized by including intelligent prediction, user parking, and user retrieval.

[0033] The intelligent prediction refers to the operation control that intelligently predicts the user's operation needs in advance, including:

[0034] Step 1: Obtain facial recognition information:

[0035] The camera unit obtains the facial recognition information of the user currently facing the touch screen unit.

[0036] Step 2, anticipate user actions:

[0037] The face recognition module performs face recognition on the user's face recognition information and all face image information in the parking information storage area one by one to find all matching information unit groups; if the number of matches is zero, the default is to store the car; otherwise, the default is to retrieve the car and the touch screen unit displays the license plate information and / or vehicle image information of the matching information unit groups.

[0038] Step 3: Confirm the operation.

[0039] The touchscreen unit prompts the user to confirm "store vehicle", "retrieve vehicle", or "choose one to retrieve vehicle".

[0040] The intelligent prediction-based operation control has ended.

[0041] The user parking refers to the operational control following the confirmation of "parking," including:

[0042] Step 1: Send a parking request:

[0043] The main control unit sends a vehicle storage request to the control system and waits for a response.

The second camera unit corresponding to the vehicle entrance / exit area number starts working and waits for the returned information.

[0046] Step 3: Receive the information returned by the shooting unit:

[0047] The main control unit receives the license plate information and vehicle image information of the vehicle to be stored from the second shooting unit; it then waits for the control system to return the vehicle storage completion information.

[0048] Step 4, parking complete:

[0049] The main control unit receives the information that the vehicle storage is completed from the control system. The parking information storage area stores the user's facial recognition information, license plate information, and vehicle image information corresponding to the vehicle's vehicle number in the information unit group.

[0050] The operation control for the user's vehicle storage has ended.

[0051] The user vehicle retrieval refers to the operational control following the confirmation of "vehicle retrieval," including:

[0052] Step 1: Select the vehicle to be retrieved;

[0053] The touchscreen unit displays options including "select a license plate or vehicle image", "enter license plate", and "browse vehicle image" for selection, and finally selects the vehicle to be retrieved.

[0054] Step 2, send a vehicle retrieval request:

[0055] The main control unit sends a vehicle retrieval request to the control system for the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle to be retrieved, and waits for the return information;

[0056] Step 3: Wait for the vehicle retrieval completion notification.

[0057] The main control unit receives vehicle retrieval permission information from the control system, including the vehicle entrance / exit area number. The touchscreen unit displays the vehicle entrance / exit area information and prompts the user to proceed to retrieve the vehicle; then waits for the return information.

[0058] Step 4, Car retrieval complete:

[0059] When the main control unit receives the information from the control system that the vehicle retrieval is complete, it clears all information related to the vehicle and its corresponding vehicle information unit group.

[0060] The operation control for the user to retrieve the vehicle has ended.

[0061] Preferably, in the operation control of the main control unit of the aforementioned parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device, the shooting unit and / or the main control unit pre-sets a minimum size of the face image, and a frontal face image larger than the minimum size and with continuous stability is used as the user face recognition image.

[0062] Preferably, the operation control of the main control unit of the aforementioned parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device is characterized in that if the main control unit determines that a face recognition image switching occurs during the user operation process, it is considered that the previous user has given up the operation, the touch screen unit returns to the initial state, and the operator corresponding to the new face recognition image is regarded as the new user.

[0063] Preferably, the operation control of the main control unit of the aforementioned parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device is characterized in that the main control unit sets a time limit for all processes that require the user to make a selection or operation. If the user fails to make a valid selection or operation within the time limit, it is regarded as the user abandoning the previous operation and returning to the initial state of intelligent prediction.

[0064] Preferably, the operation control of the main control unit of the aforementioned parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device is characterized in that the process of "inputting license plate" adopts fuzzy matching technology, and the input process dynamically updates and lists all license plate number information that fuzzily matches the current input information, and the user can select one from the listed information.

[0081] The technical solutions of the embodiments 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, and 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.

[0082] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0083] Example 1

[0084] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a simplified layout of an embodiment of the parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device of the present invention.

[0085] Investigation Figure 1As can be seen: the shooting unit 10 in this embodiment includes a shooting module 101 and a driving module 102, and the face recognition module 103 is integrated on the driving module 102 of the shooting unit 10; the touch screen unit 20 includes a touch screen 201 and a driving module 202; the main control unit 30 includes a main control module 301; the shooting unit 40 includes a shooting module 401 and a driving module 402, and the license plate recognition module 403 is integrated on the driving module 402 of the shooting unit 40; three sets of shooting units 40 with the same structure are shown in the figure; the control system 50 is set separately; the main control unit 30 is connected to the shooting unit 10, the touch screen unit 20, the shooting unit 40 and the control system 50 through a serial network 70.

[0086] The feature of this embodiment is that the first shooting unit 10 integrates a face recognition module 103, and the second shooting unit 40 integrates a license plate recognition module 403. Both the shooting unit with the integrated face recognition module and the shooting unit with the integrated license plate recognition module are mature products in the accessory market, so the layout of the first embodiment is relatively easy to implement.

[0087] Example 2

[0088] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a simplified layout of a second embodiment of the parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device of the present invention.

[0089] Investigation Figure 2 And compare Figure 1 It can be seen that the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is as follows: First, the shooting module 101 and face recognition module 103 originally set in the shooting unit 10 are now integrated on the touch screen unit 20, and the driving module 102 and shooting unit 10 are cancelled; Second, the license plate recognition module 403 originally integrated in the shooting unit 2 40 is now integrated in the main control unit 30.

[0090] The advantages of the above changes are as follows: First, the touch screen unit integrating the shooting module and the face recognition module is also a mature product in the accessory market, and the cost after integration is relatively lower; Second, in actual operation, the face recognition module 103 needs to obtain face image information from the main control unit 30 and then perform face recognition. The layout of Embodiment 1 makes it possible for this face image information to be exchanged through the serial network 70; while the layout of Embodiment 2 allows the main control unit 30 to be placed in the internal space of the touch screen unit 20 at a very short distance, so that the face recognition module 103 can conveniently read face image information from the main control unit 30 and then perform face recognition (the method includes using mature technologies such as dual-port RAM or integrated circuit bus).

[0091] Therefore, compared with Example 1, Example 2 has a lower cost and higher efficiency.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a simplified layout of a third embodiment of the parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device of the present invention.

[0094] Investigation Figure 3 And compare Figure 1 , Figure 2 It can be seen that in this third embodiment: First, the original main control module 301 and the original driver module 202 are integrated into the main control and driver module 601; Second, the original main control unit 30 and the touch screen unit 20 are integrated into the main control and touch screen unit 60; Third, the shooting module 101, the face recognition module 103, and the license plate recognition module 403 are integrated into the main control and touch screen unit 60; Fourth, a serial network 2 80 is added.

[0095] The advantages of the above changes are: First, the structure is more compact; second, the main control and drive module 601 can instruct the face recognition module 103 to directly read the face image information in the parking information storage area and then perform face recognition, which is more efficient; third, the serial communication between the control system 50 and the peripherals usually uses a low transmission rate, while the serial network 70 needs to transmit vehicle image information, which involves a relatively large amount of data. Therefore, it is more reliable to use another serial network 80 to connect the main control and touch screen unit 60 and the control system 50 (the original serial network of the control system 50 can be used).

[0096] Therefore, compared with Examples 2 and 1, Example 3 has a lower cost, higher efficiency, and more reliable communication.

[0101] S10: The shooting unit obtains the facial recognition information of the person currently facing the touch screen unit. The person is defined as a user, and the facial recognition information is defined as user facial recognition information and temporarily stored. This corresponds to step one of the aforementioned intelligent predictive operation control technology solution.

[0102] S20: The face recognition module performs face recognition on the user's face recognition information and all face image information in the parking information storage area one by one to find all matching information unit groups; if the number of matches is zero, the default is to store the car; otherwise, the default is to retrieve the car, and the touch screen unit displays the license plate information and vehicle image information of the matching information unit groups. The above corresponds to step two of the aforementioned intelligent predictive operation control technology solution.

[0108] S20: The main control unit receives parking permission information from the control system, including the vehicle entrance / exit area number and the vehicle number. The touchscreen unit displays the vehicle entrance / exit area information, prompting the user to proceed to parking. The second camera unit corresponding to the vehicle entrance / exit area number begins operation, awaiting the return information. This corresponds to step two of the aforementioned user parking operation control technology solution.

[0109] S30: The main control unit receives the license plate information and vehicle image information of the stored vehicle returned by the second imaging unit; it waits for the control system to return the vehicle storage completion information. The above corresponds to step three of the aforementioned user vehicle storage operation control technology solution.

[0110] S40: The main control unit receives the information from the control system indicating that parking is complete. The parking information storage area, corresponding to the information unit group of the vehicle vehicle number, stores the user's facial recognition information, license plate information, and vehicle image information corresponding to the vehicle. This corresponds to step four of the aforementioned user parking operation control technology solution.

[0111] S50: End.

[0112] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic of the user vehicle retrieval operation control process in a parking equipment prediction and direct selection operation device of the present invention, and the text description is as follows:

[0113] S00: Start.

[0114] S10: The touchscreen unit displays options including "Select a target license plate or vehicle image", "Enter license plate", and "Browse vehicle image" for the user to choose from, and the user uniquely selects the vehicle to be retrieved. This corresponds to step one of the aforementioned user vehicle retrieval operation control technology solution.

[0115] S20: The main control unit sends a vehicle retrieval request to the control system for the vehicle to be retrieved, and waits for a return message. This corresponds to step two of the aforementioned user vehicle retrieval operation control technology solution.

[0116] S30: The main control unit receives vehicle retrieval permission information, including the vehicle entrance / exit area number, from the control system. The touchscreen unit displays the vehicle entrance / exit area information, prompting the user to retrieve the vehicle; then waits for the return information. This corresponds to step three of the aforementioned user vehicle retrieval operation control technology solution.

[0117] S40: Upon receiving the vehicle retrieval completion information from the control system, the main control unit clears all vehicle-related information from the vehicle carrier information unit group corresponding to the retrieved vehicle. This corresponds to step four of the aforementioned user vehicle retrieval operation control technology solution.
