Parking Fee Payment Method and System using a 3D barcode

Abstract

The present invention enables the management of parking spaces in areas where existing parking management systems cannot be used or in specific parking zones, thereby making it possible to secure parking spaces, which are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. The present invention is achieved by a parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode, comprising the step of charging a fee for using a parking zone in which a 3D barcode is displayed, wherein, when a user requests to use the parking zone in which the 3D barcode is displayed, the charging is performed at a predetermined usage fee linked to the 3D barcode. In claim 3, the invention is further achieved by a parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode, comprising the step of allowing the owner of the zone to change the usage time and the usage fee.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking fee payment method and system, and in particular to a parking fee payment method and system using a three-dimensional barcode. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, the charging of parking fees in a parking lot is a method of settling based on the parking fee notified in advance at the parking lot, using the time when the vehicle passes through the entrance barrier via the license plate recognition system installed at the entrance of the parking lot, the time when the vehicle is recognized at the exit of the parking lot, or the time when a settlement request is made at the pre-payment machine.

[0003] This parking fee billing method had the drawback of requiring license plate recognition systems, barriers, and personnel to manage them at parking lot entrances. In particular, the aforementioned billing system could not be used in small spaces or specific parking areas owned or leased by individuals. Furthermore, it was impossible to automatically determine parking availability or calculate fees in locations where parking space sharing was desired. The problem to be solved

[0004] Accordingly, the present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art and to enable the management of parking spaces in specific one or more parking zones or parking spaces where existing parking management systems cannot be used, thereby making it possible to secure parking spaces, which are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. means of solving the problem

[0005] The present invention for achieving the above objective is achieved by a parking fee payment system using a 3D barcode, comprising a system for charging a fee for using a parking area in which a 3D barcode is displayed, the system comprising: a first storage means for storing the location of the 3D barcode; a second storage means for storing the owner of the 3D barcode parking area and the fee for the usage time; and a means for charging the fee at the usage fee of the second storage means when a user requests to use the parking area in which the 3D barcode is displayed. In claim 1, the parking fee payment system using a 3D barcode further comprises a means for the owner of the area to change the usage time and the usage fee.

[0006] In addition, as a method for charging the cost of using a parking area in which a 3D barcode is displayed, this is achieved by a parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode, comprising the step of charging at a predetermined usage fee linked to the 3D barcode when a user requests to use the parking area in which the 3D barcode is displayed. In the third paragraph above, this is achieved by a parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode, further comprising the step of allowing the owner of the area to change the usage time and the usage fee.

[0007] The present invention will be explained in more detail below through examples, but the description of these examples is merely for illustrating the implementation of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Effects of the invention

[0008] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to manage parking spaces in areas where existing parking management systems cannot be used or in specific parking zones, thereby making it possible to secure parking spaces, which are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0009] FIG. 1 illustrates a billing system using a three-dimensional barcode. Figure 2 illustrates a billing method using a three-dimensional barcode. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0010] A specific parking area is illustrated in FIG. 1, and a 3D barcode (102) representing this parking area is installed. The 3D barcode may be installed on a wall where the parking area is located, or on a guide sign or on the floor. The information distinguishing the 3D barcode includes information about the current location of the specific parking area.

[0011] When a user who wants to park in a specific area reads a 3D barcode through a mobile phone (104), the user is connected to a billing system (108) using the 3D barcode through a mobile phone communication network (106).

[0012] In a billing system using a 3D barcode, when the 3D barcode is connected, the procedure as shown in Fig. 2 is executed.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, when the special zone indicator barcode is recognized in step S10, the usage time, billing fees, and advance payment instructions for the corresponding zone are displayed on the user's mobile phone. When the user agrees to all the contents and requests to use the zone in step S12 (S14), the billing status is displayed.

[0014] Step S18 displays the final charge when the customer finishes parking and ends use, and proceeds with the charge using a predetermined method.

Claims

Claim 1 A parking fee payment system using a 3D barcode, comprising: a first storage means for storing the location of the 3D barcode; a second storage means for storing the owner of the 3D barcode parking area and the cost for the usage time; and a means for charging the fee based on the usage fee of the second storage means when a user requests to use the parking area displaying the 3D barcode. Claim 2 In the first paragraph above, the second storage means further comprises a means for the owner of the area to change the usage time and usage fee, a parking fee payment system using a 3D barcode. Claim 3 A method for charging a fee for using a parking area marked with a 3D barcode, comprising the step of, when a user requests to use the parking area marked with the 3D barcode, proceeding with charging at a predetermined usage fee linked to the 3D barcode; a parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode. Claim 4 A parking fee payment method using a 3D barcode, further comprising the step in the above 3rd paragraph where the owner of the area can change the usage time and usage fee.
