Solution Overview

Problem

The challenges of parking difficulty, illegal parking, unauthorized charges, traffic jams, traffic noise, and environmental pollution in urban areas are exacerbated by the inefficiencies of existing intelligent vehicle access systems, which often fail to systematically implement mobile phone-based reservation and separation of people and vehicles.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent stereo garage system based on Internet+ technology, comprising a mobile APP, cloud server, computer system, PLC system, stereo garage, and all-in-one touch machine, enables users to reserve and pick up vehicles efficiently through a fully automated process, utilizing QR codes, face recognition, and real-time monitoring, ensuring safe and reliable parking and pick-up operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional parking systems are used, then implementation is simple, but parking efficiency is low and parking difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the parking management into multiple independent modules: mobile terminal for user interaction, cloud server for data management, on-site equipment for vehicle control, and barrier gates for access control. Each module operates independently but communicates through standardized interfaces, enabling high parking efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If manual parking management is used, then system complexity is low, but time consumption for parking and pickup is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking and pickup timeVSAvoidautomation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering vehicle information in the cloud server before actual parking occurs. When a vehicle arrives, the system automatically retrieves pre-stored data and initiates parking procedures without requiring manual input, significantly reducing parking and pickup time while implementing comprehensive automation across the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated parking systems are implemented, then parking speed increases, but system reliability decreases due to complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparking operation speedVSAvoidsystem reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements multi-level feedback mechanisms including real-time status monitoring of parking spaces, automatic verification of vehicle information against pre-stored data, and confirmation protocols between mobile terminals and on-site equipment. This feedback loop ensures accurate vehicle identification and positioning, maintaining high reliability despite the automated nature of the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Reliability

If traditional access control is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but unauthorized access and illegal parking cannot be prevented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control securityVSAvoidaccess control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server acts as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and on-site equipment, centrally managing vehicle authentication and authorization. This intermediary architecture enables sophisticated security checks including verification against pre-stored vehicle data and coordination with barrier gates, achieving high access control security while keeping individual components relatively simple through centralized intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An intelligent stereo garage system based on Internet+ and a vehicle parking and pick-up method. The system includes a mobile APP (10), a cloud server (20), a computer system (30), a programmable logic controller (PLC) system (40), a stereo garage (50), and an all-in-one touch machine (60), where the all-in-one touch machine (60) is deployed next to the stereo garage (50), and the computer system (30) is deployed outside or inside the stereo garage (50). A fully-automatic parking method uses different parking and pick-up modes, which technically ensures that users can get their vehicles in time without hindering other users, and allows users to truly experience the system intelligence. This deeply embodies the smart city's idea of interconnecting everything with a mobile phone. The method largely solves problems such as parking difficulty, illegal parking, unauthorized charges, traffic jams, traffic noise, traffic accidents, and vehicle pollution.
