Personal Mobility Parking Recognition via Path Prediction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for recognizing parking of personal mobility devices, such as electric kickboards and bicycles, are inefficient due to reliance on GPS information with large error ranges and inability to accurately determine parking in narrow areas, leading to inadequate awareness of proper parking culture and inefficient service operation.
Innovation Solution
A parking recognition server that predicts a user's destination and movement path based on usage history, determines the likelihood of a device being parked, and automatically books parking spaces in nearby lots, using a combination of processor, communication device, storage, and sensors to ensure accurate location determination and efficient parking management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If GPS information is used to determine parking location, then the system can identify user location, but the error range is large and accurate parking determination is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple location determination methods (GPS, sensor recognition, image recognition) to overcome the limitations of GPS alone. By merging these different recognition approaches, the system achieves accurate parking location determination even in narrow areas where GPS error would otherwise be problematic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediate technologies such as sensor recognition and image recognition as mediators between the user's device location and the final parking determination. These intermediaries provide additional verification layers that compensate for GPS error ranges and enable precise parking location identification.
2Ease of operation
If simple sensor recognition is used, then the system can detect nearby objects, but it cannot accurately recognize parking in narrow areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges simple sensor recognition with more advanced image recognition technology. This combination maintains the ease of operation provided by simple sensors while adding the precision needed for narrow area parking detection through image analysis.
3Device complexity
If only GPS information is used for parking determination, then the system operation is simple, but the service operation efficiency is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements pre-booking of parking spaces based on predicted destinations and movement paths. This preliminary action allows the system to prepare parking arrangements in advance, significantly improving service operation efficiency without requiring complex real-time decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that use usage history to predict user destinations and optimize parking assignments. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from past behavior and improve service efficiency over time while maintaining relatively simple operational procedures.

AI summary
A parking recognition server of a personal mobility device and a method thereof are provided. The parking recognition server includes a processor configured to determine whether a personal mobility device is parked in a parking area, and a storage configured to store data and an algorithm run by the processor and a usage history for each user who uses the personal mobility device. The processor may be further configured to predict a destination and a movement path of a user for the usage history for each user, and determine a device candidate group having a high probability of being parked in the predicted destination based on a degree of overlap between the predicted movement path and an actual movement path of the user.
