Parking Zone Access Encryption System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current parking zone access management systems lack effective security measures, allowing unauthorized vehicles to exit and vulnerable to data theft, as they do not adequately associate parking tickets with specific vehicles and fail to address security protocols.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates and verifies encryption information using vehicle and mobile terminal data, employing sensors, communicators, and controllers to manage vehicle entry and exit, utilizing methods like attribute-based encryption, and biometric information to secure access and prevent unauthorized movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional parking ticket systems are used, then ease of operation is improved, but security and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical parking ticket systems with an encryption-based electronic verification system. Sensors capture vehicle images, controllers generate encryption information from these images, and communicators transmit data for verification. This substitution eliminates physical tickets and their associated security vulnerabilities while maintaining operational convenience through automated electronic processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the parking management system by changing the fundamental parameter of vehicle identification from physical tickets to encrypted digital information derived from vehicle images. The controller generates unique encryption information based on vehicle image parameters, and this encrypted data is stored and verified electronically, fundamentally altering how parking authorization is managed and secured.
2Ease of operation
If parking tickets are issued without vehicle association, then ease of operation is improved, but fraud detection capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical ticket issuance system with an encryption-based electronic verification system. Sensors capture vehicle images, controllers generate unique encryption information tied to each vehicle, and communicators transmit this data for verification. This substitution eliminates physical tickets that can be stolen or forged, while maintaining operational convenience through automated electronic processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of vehicle identification information through encryption. Instead of physical tickets, the system generates encryption information that is a unique digital representation of the vehicle's identity. This encrypted copy is stored and verified electronically, preventing fraud while maintaining the convenience of automated access management.
3Reliability
If encryption information is generated and verified, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the parking management system into distinct functional modules: sensors for capturing vehicle images, controllers for generating encryption information, and communicators for transmitting data. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the complex encryption system manageable and maintainable while enhancing security through distributed processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an encryption information generation and verification mechanism as an intermediary between vehicle entry and parking authorization. This intermediary layer processes vehicle images through encryption algorithms and verifies authorization before granting access, adding security without requiring complete system redesign. The intermediary handles the complexity of encryption while presenting a simple interface for access control.
Data Source
AI summary
A server device includes: a receiver configured to receive, from a management device installed in a parking zone, information about a vehicle, which enters the parking zone, obtained from an exterior of the vehicle and wireless identification information obtained from a mobile terminal in the vehicle; a controller configured to generate first encryption information corresponding to the vehicle, by using the information about the vehicle and the wireless identification information; and a transmitter configured to, when a parking area is assigned to the vehicle, transmit information about the parking area to the mobile terminal.
