[0022] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail by describing preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals in the various drawings refer to the same elements. The present invention relates to a space system in which, when a vehicle V is docked and connected, it becomes part of a building 100 and can be used as a necessary space, and a server 200 can manage the vehicle V docked in the building 100. Since rooms for specific purposes are not provided in the partitioned space of the building 100, and the vehicle V docked in each station 110 becomes a room of the building 100, excellent space utilization can be achieved.

[0023] 1 is a diagram illustrating an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a station 110 and a server 200.

[0024] The station 110 is provided on one side of the building 100, and the vehicle V can be docked thereto. The vehicle V may be a vehicle V with an interior space that can be used as an office space or a sales shop, such as a purpose built vehicle (PBV). The vehicle V is provided with a gate 112 that is closed when not docked, and is opened when the vehicle V is docked and connected, thereby connecting the interior of the vehicle V to the building 100. The vehicle V may be provided with a standardized connector, and the connector can be docked to the station 110 to connect the building 100 to the vehicle V. Therefore, the specifications of the station 110 and the connector can be standardized for versatile use.

[0025] The server 200 can check whether the station 110 is available for use based on whether the vehicle V is docked at the station 110 or whether there is a reservation in advance. The user can be allowed to select the station 110 of the vehicle V, so that the user can select the station 110 that the user desires. Alternatively, if the user has not selected a station 110, the user can select a station 110 at will. Once the vehicle V is docked at the selected station 110, the server 200 is connected to the vehicle V via wired or wireless connection and can manage the user's use of the station 110.

[0026] A user can reserve or select a station 110 through the user terminal 300, receive current status information, and make payment. For this purpose, the user terminal 300 can be connected to the building 100 and the server 200 through communication. A dedicated application that can connect to the server 200 may be installed in the user terminal 300 and used.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 1, the station 110 is provided outside the building 100, and the front or rear of the vehicle V can be connected to the station 110 from outside the building 100. Alternatively, unlike Fig. 1, the side of the vehicle V can be connected. In this case, the vehicle V functions as a part of the building 100 while parked outside the building 100, with the internal space being connected.

[0028] 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a server 200 of an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detailed configuration of the server 200 and the role of each component will be described in detail below. Referring to FIG. 2, the server 200 may include at least one of a guide unit 210, a reception unit 220, a management unit 230, a settlement unit 240, and a reservation unit 250.

[0029] The notification unit 210 can check the usage status of the station 110 and provide various information to the user. If the vehicle V is docked at the station 110 or reserved in advance, it can determine that the station 110 cannot be used, and if the station 110 is vacant, it can determine that the station 110 can be used, and can provide the user with a location where the station 110 can be used. If the station 110 is in use, the notification unit 210 can also provide the user with a planned end time. In addition, when the user starts using the station 110 after docking and connecting to the station 110, the notification unit 210 can provide the user with the start time and end time of use. In addition, the notification unit 210 can provide reservation information to a user who has made a reservation in advance.

[0030] The reception unit 220 may play a role in allowing the user to select a start time and an end time of use of the station 110 and select an available station 110. The user selects a station 110 to be used for a certain period of time through the reception unit 220.

[0031] The management unit 230 can play a role in managing the station 110. The management unit 230 can manage and monitor whether the station 110 is in use, and if so, what the scheduled end time is. In addition, when the vehicle V is docked, the management unit 230 can fully connect the vehicle V to the power and communication system of the building 100 so that the vehicle V can function as a part of the building 100 by connecting the vehicle V to the power and communication system of the building 100. The management unit 230 can manage the usage time of the station 110 by counting the usage start time and usage end time of the docked vehicle V. In addition, the management unit 230 can also air-condition the interior space of the vehicle V using the air-conditioning system of the building 100.

[0032] The settlement unit 240 may play a role in settling and processing the payment for the use of the station 110. When the management unit 230 counts the usage time based on the time when the user starts docking and the time when the user ends docking, the settlement unit 240 may calculate the fee based on the usage time and perform the payment process. In addition, when the station 110 is used additionally, the settlement unit 240 may calculate an additional fee and perform the payment process.

[0033] The reservation unit 250 can serve to process reservations for use of the station 110. A user can reserve use of the station 110 in advance via the user terminal 300, and the reservation unit 250 can perform reservation processing based on reservation information input from the user terminal 300. The reservation information processed by the reservation unit 250 can be transmitted to the guide unit 210 and the management unit 230. The reservation information can include a date of use, a time of use, a vehicle V number, and the like. In addition, the reservation unit 250 can transmit the above-mentioned reservation information from the user terminal 300 to the payment unit 240, and when the payment unit 240 processes a fee based on the reservation information and completes the payment, it can perform reservation completion processing.

[0034] A user can input reservation information to the reservation unit 250 via the user terminal 300, and the reservation unit 250 can process a reservation for use of the station 110 based on the reservation information input from the user terminal 300. In addition, the reservation unit 250 can provide guidance information via the user terminal 300, including whether or not docking of the vehicle V is possible depending on the usage status of the station 110, the start and end times of use of the station 110, and reservation information.

[0035] FIG. 3 is a plan view of an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to one embodiment of the present invention. 3, the station 110 may be provided inside the building 100. After entering the building 100, the vehicle V can be docked at the station 110 and connected to the server 200. In this case, the vehicle V functions as a part of the building 100 while being parked inside the building 100, with the interior space being in communication with the building 100.

[0036] 3, a shared space 101 may be provided in the building 100. The shared space 101 may be a space that can be used by all users together, such as a conference room, an educational facility, a sports facility, a cafeteria, a toilet, etc. The shared space 101 may be provided between a plurality of docked vehicles V and stations 110 to satisfy an optimal flow line. Therefore, when designing the building 100, if only the common space 101 of the building 100 is designed and the station 110 is installed, the vehicle V is docked to configure each room, and the owner of the building can have the effect of reducing construction costs. In addition, a user can dock a vehicle V equipped with facilities suited to the purpose to the building 100 and use the common space 101, and thus have the effect of reducing interior costs and rental fees.

[0037] The server 200 can transmit information on the current usage status of the stations 110 and location information of the available stations 110 to the user terminal 300. The user can receive information on various buildings 100 through the user terminal 300, determine whether an appropriate station 110 is available, and select and use the station 110 of the most appropriate building 100.

[0038] The office system according to the present invention can also be used for company operations. An employee can prepare his / her own vehicle V as a space suitable for work and according to personal preferences, and can clock in by docking it at the station 110 and clock out by undocking it. For employee attendance management, the server 200 can manage the docking start time of the vehicle V as the clock-in time and the docking undocking time as the clock-out time.

[0039] The office system according to the present invention can also be used for operating a business office. A user can prepare his / her own vehicle V as a space suitable for a purpose, such as a cafe, restaurant, or store, and dock it at the station 110 for business to begin. The server 200 settles the fee based on the user's station usage time, allowing the building owner to earn rental income. The building owner can run a rental business by managing only the shared space 101, without managing each room one by one. A user can rent a section of the building 100 for a certain period of time, and run a business by owning only the vehicle V, without having to provide an interior design suitable for the purpose. In this way, new business models that can utilize space efficiently become possible.

[0040] Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment shown in Figure 4 illustrates an embodiment in which a station 110 is provided inside a building 100, the building 100 consisting of multiple floors. 4, a building 100 of an office system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a building 100 having multiple floors. Since stations 110 are provided on each of the multiple floors, the building 100 may be provided with elevators 120 that vehicles V can board to travel to the stations 110. The vehicles V can board the elevators 120 in the order of arrival and dock with the stations 110 on the desired floors.

[0041] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a vehicle V being docked in an office system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5, when the vehicle V is not docked, the gate 112 is normally closed. When the vehicle V is docked, the gate 112 is opened to the bottom of the station 110. The gate 112 may be equipped with lighting.

[0042] In addition, a sealing member 111 that comes into contact with and seals the frame of the vehicle V to be docked may be provided on the outer wall of the station 110. The sealing member 111 may be made of a flexible material so as to seal gaps without damaging the vehicle body. By tightly sealing the outer wall of the station 110 and the vehicle body, personal space can be protected. The sealing member 111 has the effect of blocking noise and preventing the inflow of dust.

[0043] 6 is a flow chart for explaining a first embodiment of a method for controlling an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to the present invention. The first embodiment of the method for controlling an office system shows an embodiment for a case where no fee is required for use of a station 110, such as a system for running a company. Referring to FIG. 6, the first embodiment of the office system can include a time selection step (S110), an option selection step (S120), a docking step (S130), a connection step (S140), a use step (S150), and a separation step (S170).

[0044] In the time selection step (S110), the user can determine the time of use of the station 110. The user can select a start time and an end time of use of the station 110. Alternatively, the station 110 can be reserved in advance even if it is not currently available for use. If the user is an employee, the start time of use can be considered to be the time when the user arrives at work, and the end time of use can be considered to be the time when the user leaves work.

[0045] In the option selection step (S120), the user can select options for the location, size, and type of station 110. If the worker does not have a specified location, he or she can select an available station 110 according to the desired work location, size, and type, and the selected station 110 becomes the work location. If the user does not select a station 110, the office system can select any station 110 from the available stations 110 and assign it to the user.

[0046] In the docking step (S130), the office system authorizes the docking of the user's vehicle V at the selected station 110, and the user can dock the vehicle V. The station 110 includes a license plate recognition unit that can recognize the license plate of the vehicle V, and can therefore authorize the specified vehicle V to be docked and refuse to dock a vehicle V with a different license plate. The worker is considered to have clocked in when the docking step (S130) is completed.

[0047] In the connection step (S140), the docked vehicle V and the server 200 can be connected to each other by wire or wirelessly. The power and communication systems of the building 100 are connected to the vehicle V so that the user can use the power and communication systems of the building 100 in the interior space of the vehicle V. In the connection step (S140), the vehicle V and the air conditioning system of the building 100 can also be connected to each other.

[0048] In the use step (S150), a user can use the station 110. If the station 110 is in use, other users cannot select the station 110, and can use it after checking the information on the end time of use.

[0049] In the separation step (S170), the user ends use of the station 110 and can undock the vehicle V to separate the vehicle V. When the end time of use arrives, the vehicle V is undocked and separated, and the use can be treated as being ended. In the case of a worker, the moment the vehicle V is undocked, the user can be considered to have left work.

[0050] There may be a case where a user desires to use the station 110 further after the end time of use. In the extension selection step (S160), the user can select to extend the use time of the station 110 after the use step (S150). The user can postpone the end time of use to add more use time, but since there may be a reservation for the station 110, the office system determines (S161) whether additional use is possible, and if additional use is possible, proceeds to the use step (S150) where the station 110 can be used. If additional use of the station 110 is not possible, the user selects an option for another station 110 and selects an available station 110. In the case of a worker, adding more use time may be considered as overtime work.

[0051] The server 200 may include a database for managing and storing the start time, end time, and additional usage time of the station 110. Since the employer can manage the records in the database and manage the attendance of employees, it has the effect of reducing the labor and costs involved in the company's business.

[0052] 7 is a flow chart for explaining a second embodiment of a method for controlling an office system to which a vehicle V is docked according to the present invention. The second embodiment of the method for controlling an office system illustrates an embodiment for a case where a fee is required for use of a station 110, such as in a system for operating a store. Referring to FIG. 7, the second embodiment of the office system can include a time selection step (S210), an option selection step (S220), a fee payment step (S230), a docking step (S240), a connection step (S250), a use step (S260), and a separation step (S280).

[0053] Comparing the control method of the office system according to the second embodiment with the control method of the office system according to the first embodiment, the control method of the office system according to the second embodiment further includes a fee payment step (S230) after the option selection step (S220), and further includes an additional fee payment step (S272) after the extension possibility determination step (S271).

[0054] In the time selection step (S210), the user selects the time for using the station 110 for business, and in the option selection step (S220), the user can select an option for the station 110 with an appropriate location, size, and type depending on the type of business, or can select it arbitrarily. After the option selection step (S220), in the fee payment step (S230), the fee for using the selected station 110 can be paid. The business owner pays the fee as compensation for renting the station 110.

[0055] In a docking step (S240), the vehicle V is docked, and in a connection step (S250), the vehicle V can be connected to the building 100. In a use step (S260), the user can start business at the station 110. When the time to end use is reached, the business owner can end business and separate the vehicle V, and if additional use is desired, the business owner can select additional use of the station 110 that is currently in use in an extension selection step (S270).

[0056] If the business owner selects additional use of a station 110 that is in use, it is determined whether additional use of the station 110 is possible (S271), and if use is possible, an additional fee for additional use can be paid in an additional fee payment step (S272). If additional use of the station 110 that is in use is not possible, the business owner selects an option for another station 110.
