Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow diagram of a parking exemption method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step S110, receiving a vehicle identification and a virtual license plate application request corresponding to the vehicle identification.

And step S120, generating a virtual license plate according to the virtual license plate application request and the vehicle identification.

The server can generate the virtual license plate only when receiving the virtual license plate request and the vehicle identification at the same time. Meanwhile, the virtual license plate application request and the vehicle identification are received at the same time, or the virtual license plate application request and the vehicle identification are received successively within a certain time interval, for example, the virtual license plate application request and the vehicle identification are received within a time interval of 5 minutes, the server correspondingly generates a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle identification, and after five minutes, the virtual license plate is not generated. The virtual license plate is composed of 6 digits and letters randomly, and the number of the virtual license plate is increased progressively, so that the same virtual license plate is prevented from being repeatedly generated.

In one specific example, a camera at the entrance of a parking lot takes a picture of vehicle a when customer a drives vehicle a in preparation for entering the parking lot. The control terminal at the entrance of the parking lot sets the photo as a corresponding vehicle identifier and sends the corresponding vehicle identifier to the server, and meanwhile, the client A sends a virtual license plate application request to the server by using the parking application. And after receiving the vehicle identification and the virtual license plate application request, the server generates a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle A, returns the control information of allowing the vehicle A to pass to the control terminal, and releases the vehicle A to enter the parking lot. Meanwhile, the server also returns the virtual license plate information to the parking application of the client A, so that the client can save and view the virtual license plate information.

However, if the client a does not send a virtual license plate application request to the server because the head of the client a is turned away in some circumstances, the server cannot generate a virtual license plate, and the corresponding vehicle identifier fails. And (3) driving the vehicle B by the client B immediately behind the client A to prepare to enter the parking lot, and receiving a new vehicle identification and a virtual license plate application request by the server to generate a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle B. The time interval between the vehicle identification and the virtual license plate application request is limited, the currently generated virtual license plate is ensured to correspond to the vehicle which needs to enter the parking lot at present, the parking information is accurate, and the management of the parking lot is facilitated.

Step S130, receiving a coupon issuing request containing the virtual license plate, determining to issue the coupon according to the coupon issuing request, and binding the issued coupon and the virtual license plate.

And receiving the issuing request of the free ticket, acquiring the virtual license plate in the issuing request of the free ticket, and determining to issue the free ticket to the client. Meanwhile, the coupon is bound with the corresponding virtual license plate, so that the customer can automatically deduct the parking fee when settling the parking fee of the vehicle. The coupon issuing request comprises the virtual license plate, so that the coupon can be bound with corresponding vehicle information to form a special vehicle coupon, and the coupon is prevented from being abused. For example, if a customer who did not drive a car cannot provide a virtual license plate, a parking coupon cannot be obtained.

In a specific example, a merchant presents a two-dimensional code of a parking coupon to a customer, the two-dimensional code comprises an access address of a request for issuing the parking coupon of the merchant, and the customer scans the two-dimensional code through a parking application to send the request for issuing the parking coupon. The virtual license plate information of the vehicle is stored in the parking application of the client, and the coupon issuing request is carried with the virtual license plate and is sent to the server. The server receives the issuing request of the free ticket, acquires the virtual license plate therein, determines to issue the free ticket, and binds the free ticket with the corresponding virtual license plate, so that the free ticket can be automatically deducted when the customer settles the parking fee of the vehicle.

Step S140, when a parking payment request containing the virtual license plate is received, calculating payment amount according to the bound coupon of the virtual license plate.

The parking payment request comprises a virtual license plate, and the vehicle information needing to settle the parking fee and the bound coupon can be determined according to the virtual license plate. And after the preferential amount of the preferential ticket is automatically deducted, determining the amount of money to be paid by the customer. For example, the customer can leave the parking lot without paying the parking fee after the customer's vehicle stops for one hour in the parking lot and automatically withholds the free amount of the free ticket for one hour.

According to the technical scheme, the corresponding virtual license plate is provided for the vehicle when the vehicle enters the parking lot, and the customer can obtain the coupon provided by the merchant through the virtual license plate, so that the corresponding parking privilege is enjoyed, the problem that the unlicensed vehicle cannot enjoy the parking privilege provided by the merchant due to the fact that the unlicensed vehicle does not have the digital license plate number is solved, and the customer experience is improved.

In one embodiment of the invention, the vehicle identification is a photograph of the vehicle contained in the transit request sent by the parking lot control terminal. Generating a virtual license plate according to the virtual license plate application request and the vehicle identification comprises: recognizing the vehicle photo and judging whether the vehicle is a unlicensed vehicle or not; if so, generating a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle, and generating a parking record corresponding to the vehicle according to the passing request; and storing the generated virtual license plate and the vehicle photo in a parking record.

The embodiment provides a specific method for generating a virtual license plate. The parking lot control terminal is arranged at an entrance of the parking lot and used for controlling vehicles to enter or exit the parking lot. The parking lot control terminal can comprise equipment such as a camera, the camera shoots the vehicle, the position of placing the license plate number by aiming at the vehicle needs to be shot, and the other positions of the vehicle can be shot to obtain the overall picture of the vehicle. The control terminal obtains the vehicle photo and sends the vehicle photo to the server, the photo recognizer in the server recognizes the vehicle photo, if the license plate number is not recognized, the vehicle is judged to be a license-free vehicle, and then a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle is generated. Meanwhile, the server also generates a parking record for parking management of the parking lot, and the virtual license plate, the corresponding vehicle photo and the vehicle information are stored in the parking record.

On the other hand, if the photo recognizer recognizes the license plate number, only one parking record needs to be generated, and the license plate number, the corresponding vehicle photo and the corresponding vehicle information are stored in the parking record.

The method provided by the embodiment is mainly used for generating the virtual license plate for the unlicensed vehicle. The unlicensed vehicle is a vehicle not equipped with a license plate, or a vehicle that cannot acquire a digital license plate number through a camera in a parking lot using a temporary license plate or the like. That is, the server provides a virtual license plate for the unlicensed vehicle, and the license plate number of the licensed vehicle can be used as the digital license plate number without providing the virtual license plate. Therefore, the data and the calculation amount of the server which need to be processed can be reduced, and the working efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that the parking lot control terminal may further include an intelligent barrier for allowing or intercepting vehicles. And after the server generates the virtual license plate and the parking record, returning control information allowing passage to the parking lot control terminal, controlling the intelligent barrier gate to rise, and allowing the vehicle to enter the parking lot.

In an embodiment of the invention, the pass request further includes a parking lot identifier corresponding to the parking lot control terminal, and the parking lot identifier is stored in the parking record; the coupon issuing request also comprises a parking lot identification corresponding to the merchant. Determining to issue the coupon according to the coupon issuance request includes: searching a corresponding parking record according to the virtual license plate in the coupon issuing request; judging whether the parking lot identification corresponding to the merchant is consistent with the parking lot identification in the parking record; if yes, the coupon is issued.

The present embodiment provides a specific method of determining issuance of a coupon. And the server manages and controls the parking lot control terminals of a plurality of different parking lots, and each parking lot corresponds to the own parking lot identifier. The coupon can be issued only when the customer's vehicle is parked at the parking lot corresponding to the merchant. For example, the parking lot corresponding to the mall where the merchant is located is marked as a. And if the customer's vehicle stops in the parking lot, the parking lot identifier stored in the corresponding parking record is A. And the server receives the coupon issuing request and acquires the virtual license plate and the parking lot identification in the coupon issuing request. And finding a corresponding parking record according to the virtual license plate, comparing and judging that the parking lot identification in the parking record is consistent with the parking lot identification corresponding to the merchant in the coupon issuing request, wherein A is the parking lot identification in the parking record and A is the parking lot identification corresponding to the merchant, the issuing condition of the coupon is met, and the issuance of the coupon is determined.

If the vehicle is parked in the parking lot B, the parking lot identifier in the parking record is B, the parking lot identifier corresponding to the merchant is A, and the parking lot identifier are inconsistent, the coupon cannot be issued. The coupon can be prevented from being abused by determining whether to issue the coupon according to the parking lot identifier. Meanwhile, the issued coupon can be directly used when the vehicle drives away from the parking lot, and the condition that the customer obtains the unusable coupon and the experience is influenced is avoided.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the parking record includes parking timing information of a vehicle corresponding to the virtual license plate. Calculating the payment amount according to the bound coupon of the virtual license plate comprises the following steps: searching a corresponding parking record according to the virtual license plate in the parking payment request; and acquiring the parking fee of the vehicle according to the parking timing information in the parking record, deducting the parking fee by using the coupon bound with the virtual license plate, and returning the deducted parking fee information.

The present embodiment provides a specific method for calculating a payment amount using a coupon. The virtual license plate is used as a certificate for the vehicle to park in the parking lot, the request comprises the virtual license plate, information corresponding to the vehicle can be found through the virtual license plate, and corresponding processing is carried out by combining the content of the request. The parking timing information of the vehicle comprises the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot and the parking time, and the parking cost of the vehicle can be calculated according to the parking time and the parking unit price of the parking lot. For example, the parking time of the vehicle is two hours, and after the free amount in the free ticket is automatically deducted for one hour, the customer only needs to pay the parking fee for one hour. The server returns the one-hour parking fee information after deduction so that the client can pay the parking fee.

Fig. 3 illustrates a parking optimization system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the parking optimization system 300 including one or more parking lot control terminals 310, one or more customer terminals 320; and a parking garniture server 200 as in any above.

The parking lot control terminal 310 is configured to collect the vehicle identifier and send a pass request including the vehicle identifier to the server 200.

Parking lot control terminal 310 sets up at the entrance and the exit in parking lot, including equipment such as intelligent banister, camera, ground induction coil, display screen. When the vehicle approaches the entrance of the parking lot, the ground induction coil is triggered, so that the control terminal 310 controls the camera to take a picture of the vehicle, and sends the picture of the vehicle to the server 200. The display screen can be used for displaying the departure state of the vehicle to be entered, such as the vehicle A entering the vehicle.

The client terminal 320 is configured to send a virtual license plate application request corresponding to the vehicle identifier to the server 200, and send a coupon issuing request and a parking payment request including the virtual license plate to the server 200.

The client terminal 320 is a parking APP, a small program or a public number corresponding to the parking lot, and the client scans different two-dimensional codes by using a scanning function therein to send different requests. For example, in an applet, a client scans an entrance two-dimensional code at an entrance and sends a virtual license plate application request to the server 200; scanning the two-dimensional code of the coupon and sending a coupon issuing request to the server 200; and scanning the two-dimension code and sending a parking payment request to the server 200. The customer uses the customer terminal 320 to interact with the server 200 and the parking lot control terminal 310,

taking the client terminal as the parking applet as an example, the specific process of the parking exemption system 300 for realizing the parking exemption of the vehicle is as follows: when a vehicle approaches the parking lot, the ground induction coil of the parking lot control terminal 310 is triggered, so that the control terminal 310 controls the camera to take a vehicle picture, and the vehicle picture is carried in the pass request and sent to the server 200. The photo recognizer of the server 200 recognizes the photo of the vehicle, and returns the entry two-dimensional code to the parking lot control terminal 310 when the license plate number of the vehicle is not recognized. The parking lot control terminal 310 displays the two-dimensional code on the display screen and prompts the customer to scan the code. The client scans the two-dimensional code through the scanning function of the parking applet and sends a virtual license plate application request to the server 200. The server 200 generates a corresponding virtual license plate and a parking record according to the received passing request and the virtual license plate application request, and returns control information allowing passing to the parking lot control terminal 310, so that the intelligent barrier gate is lifted, and the released vehicle enters the parking lot. And simultaneously returning the virtual license plate to the parking small program so as to be convenient for the user to save and view.

It should be noted that the two-dimensional code for entering can be directly displayed on the display screen, and when a customer needs to enter the parking lot, the code is scanned through a small program.

When issuing the coupon, the client scans the two-dimensional code of the coupon by the scanning function of the applet and sends a coupon issuing request to the server 200. Because the information of the virtual license plate is stored in the applet, the coupon issuing request contains the virtual license plate, and the user does not need to manually input the license plate. The server 200 receives the issuing request of the free ticket, acquires the virtual license plate therein, determines to issue the free ticket, and binds the free ticket with the corresponding virtual license plate, so that the free ticket can be automatically deducted when the customer settles the parking fee of the vehicle.

When the vehicle exits the parking lot, the customer scans the two-dimensional code of the exit of the parking lot through the scanning function of the small program, and sends a parking payment request to the server 200. The parking payment request comprises a virtual license plate, and the vehicle information needing to settle the parking fee and the bound coupon can be determined according to the virtual license plate. And after the preferential amount of the preferential ticket is automatically deducted, determining the amount of money to be paid by the customer. For example, the customer can leave the parking lot without paying the parking fee after the customer's vehicle stops for one hour in the parking lot and automatically withholds the free amount of the free ticket for one hour.

According to the parking free system, a customer can automatically drive in a parking lot, get a free coupon and drive out of the parking lot through the scanning function of the customer terminal, the full-automatic parking free service of the parking lot is achieved, manual coupon issuing verification is not needed, labor cost is saved, operation errors are reduced, the management efficiency of the parking lot is improved, and high service quality is ensured.

The first issuing terminal 410 is provided at an entrance of a parking lot for a customer to perform an entrance operation for driving a vehicle into the parking lot. The certificate is a license plate obtained by a customer after a vehicle enters a parking lot, and the two-dimensional code information of the virtual license plate or the two-dimensional code information of the departure is recorded on the license plate, and the two-dimensional code of the departure is used for the departure operation of the vehicle. For example, the first dispensing terminal 410 may be a ticket machine having an admission button and a ticket exit. When a client approaches the parking lot, the client can share the server 200 to send a virtual license plate application request by clicking the admission button. After the server 200 generates the virtual license plate, the virtual license plate information is returned to the ticket machine. And the paper ticket machine prints paper tickets according to the virtual license plate information and outputs the paper tickets from a paper ticket outlet so as to be stored by a client. The paper ticket is printed with a virtual license plate corresponding to the vehicle or a two-dimensional code containing virtual license plate information, and a customer can receive the free coupon according to the virtual license plate information.

The paper ticket machine is suitable for enabling a customer to enter a parking lot and enjoy parking free service even if the customer does not carry a mobile phone or the mobile phone does not have a signal. Certainly, the two-dimensional code of leaving the parking lot containing the virtual license plate information can be printed on the paper ticket machine, and when a user leaves the parking lot, the user can automatically scan to carry out leaving operation and pay parking fee when a signal is sent by the mobile phone.

And the second issuing terminal 420 is configured to display the two-dimensional code of the coupon or send a coupon issuing request including the virtual license plate to the server.
