The valet parking system within a certain area according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a drop station 100 and a pickup station 100A for each region, a parking information collection unit 110 that updates and collects parking lot information in real time, and valet parking. A customer terminal 120 that has the service provision app installed and transmits valet parking request information including the schedule for entering and exiting the drop station 100, the pickup station 100A, and the parking lot 200, and the customer terminal 120. Valet parking staff and parking lot (200) can receive valet parking request information from, analyze the valet parking request information in conjunction with the parking information collection unit (110), and dispatch to the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A) ) is assigned, and valet parking information corresponding to the entry/exit schedule is transmitted to the valet parking employee's terminal 140, so that the vehicle is taken over from the drop station 100 or picked up at the pickup station 100A. Including a valet parking operation server 130 that drives the car from the drop station 100 to the parking lot 200, parks it, and returns it from the parking lot 200 to the pickup station 100A, according to the arrival and departure schedule. The idea is to temporarily, when visiting a specific location, drive to a parking lot within a certain distance and park instead.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the valet parking system within a certain area of the above-described configuration will be described in detail as follows.

First, the parking information collection unit 110 collects information on a large number of drop stations and pickup stations in each area where preset temporary stops are possible in areas where outsiders frequently visit using their vehicles but it is not easy to secure a parking space, that is, drop station (100) ) and the vacancy of the pickup station (100A) and whether temporary parking is possible are updated and collected in real time, and commercialized paid or free parking is available for each area where short- and long-term parking is available in advance near the area where the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A) are set. Parking lot information of the parking lot 200 or the valet parking exclusive parking lot and parking fee by contract is updated and collected in real time and the information is transmitted to the customer terminal 120 and the valet parking operation server 130.

Here, the drop station 100 is a place where a customer takes over a vehicle from a valet parking employee, and the pickup station 100A can be divided into a place where a customer takes over a vehicle from a valet parking employee.

Referring to FIG. 3, the parking information collection unit 110 analyzes the images of the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A through the camera 101 to identify objects in the drop zone, determines whether the seat is vacant, and temporarily. It is possible to check whether a stop is possible, or to check whether a vacancy is available and whether a temporary stop is possible by detecting objects on the ground through a sensor 102 installed on the ground.

In addition, when a vehicle or object that does not use the valet parking service is identified in the drop zone through the sensor 102, a warning signal is propagated through the LED line 103 installed on the border of the drop zone, and a post installed in the drop zone ( It is also possible to transmit a warning sound through a speaker (not shown) provided in 104).

In addition, after the vehicle leaves the parking lot 200 to the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A, the vehicle is identified through the camera 101 and drop zone waiting completion information is transmitted to the customer terminal 120. You can also do it.

In addition, although not shown, the above-mentioned post 104 is placed in the center of the drop zone so that it can slide up and down, identifies the license plate of the vehicle through the camera 101, and lowers when the vehicle using the valet parking service approaches. A temporary parking space may be provided, and the post 104 may normally be exposed from the ground to block parking of other vehicles.

Here, the parking lot 200 may be a directly managed parking lot operated by a company that provides valet parking services, a parking lot dedicated to parking provided for other purposes, or a public parking lot.

Next, the customer terminal 120 is a smart terminal of a driver who wants to use the valet parking service, and the valet parking service providing app is installed, accesses the parking information collection unit 110 through the app, and selects the place to visit. and select the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A) in the area surrounding the building, and include the schedule for entering and exiting the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A) and the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A). The valet parking request information is transmitted to the valet parking operation server 130.

Next, the valet parking operation server 130 receives valet parking request information from the customer terminal 120, analyzes the valet parking request information in conjunction with the parking information collection unit 110, and operates the drop station 100 and Allocate a valet parking employee and a parking lot (200) that can be dispatched to the pickup station (100A), transmit valet parking information corresponding to the entry and exit schedule to the valet parking employee's valet parking employee terminal (140), and drop the vehicle. Pick it up from the station 100 or go out to the pick-up station (100A), drive to the parking lot 200 and park for a certain period of time according to the entry and exit schedule, and drive from the parking lot 200 to the pick-up station (100A). Have the user return it.

Here, the valet parking operation server 130 analyzes the valet parking request information and considers the distance or traffic congestion between the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A and the parking lot 200 according to the entry and exit schedule. This allows you to allocate the nearest dedicated parking lot.

Alternatively, the valet parking operation server 130 allocates the parking request information to a distant parking lot 200 as the parking request time according to the entry/exit schedule of the valet parking request information is longer, so that when a large number of valet parking request information are concentrated at the same time, The parking lot 200 can be operated effectively by adjusting the entry and exit schedule by considering the travel time between the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A and the parking lot 200.

In addition, the valet parking operation server 130 analyzes traffic information for the entire area that the customer wants to visit and provides a map showing places where stopping is possible and places where stopping is not possible through the valet parking service providing app, and places where stopping is possible. A specific drop station (100) set by the valet parking operation server (130) is designated as a drop station (100) and a pickup station (100A) by the valet parking operation server (130) or by the customer terminal (120). And by providing a specific drop station 100 and a pickup station 100A designated by the pickup station 100A or the customer terminal 120, various stopping spaces can be provided to facilitate stopping.

Meanwhile, the valet parking operation server 130 relays and transmits smart key information including temporary driving rights for the vehicle from the customer terminal 120 to the valet parking employee terminal 140 through an instant message, allowing entry and exit. For a certain period of time, the valet parking employee corresponding to the valet parking employee terminal 140 provides smart key information through the valet parking service providing app at the pickup station 100A while the driver is away, without receiving the vehicle key face-to-face from the driver. By operating the vehicle through certification, it is operated between the drop station (100) and pickup station (100A) and the parking lot (200) to prevent the unpleasant loss of keys and minimize waiting time due to unnecessary face-to-face contact. This can improve operational efficiency.

For example, after the driver corresponding to the customer terminal 120 temporarily stops the vehicle at the drop station 100 and moves, a valet parking employee can take over the vehicle through smart key information in a non-face-to-face manner, and the driver can pick up the vehicle. Before arriving at the station (100A), the vehicle can be temporarily stopped at the pickup station (100A) and then left from the pickup station (100A).

In addition, the valet parking operation server 130 selects valet parking employees who can be dispatched according to the arrival and departure schedule from among the part-time valet parking employees recruited for each regional drop station 100 and pickup station 100A and each regional parking lot. In addition, the valet parking employee transmits contact information and instant messenger information that can communicate with the customer terminal 120 to the corresponding valet parking employee terminal 140 to make a call or exchange information, thereby reducing the fixed cost of operating the valet parking service. You can do it.

Here, the valet parking operation server 130, through the collection unit, receives the date, day and time when valet parking is available from the valet parking staff terminal 140, and the drop station 100 and pickup station 100A by region from home. Agency information including the travel distance and travel time to the parking lot is transmitted and stored, and the valet parking information is transmitted to the valet parking staff terminal 140 corresponding to the agency information matching the entry and exit schedule, so that the entry and exit schedule is established. You can assign part-time valet parking staff to meet the needs.

Meanwhile, the valet parking operation server 130 selects high-priority valet parking employees and reserve valet parking employees and transmits valet parking information to the corresponding valet parking employee terminal 140, so that the high-priority valet parking employee is dropped due to unexpected circumstances. If it is impossible to move to the station 100 and the pickup station 100A, a spare valet parking employee may be immediately assigned to provide valet parking service.

In addition, the valet parking operation server 130 uses the vehicle's GPS information to provide travel route information between the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A and the parking lot 200, and parking video captured in the parking lot 200. By transmitting information to the customer terminal 120 in real time, the driver can check and respond to safe movement and parking of the vehicle or unexpected accidents in real time, and clearly identify responsibility in the event of an accident.

Here, when moving after receiving the vehicle from the valet parking employee, the GPS information of the valet parking employee terminal 140 is used to transmit the location information of the vehicle to the customer terminal 120 in real time, and after receiving the vehicle from the customer, GPS information is used. The provision of information can be terminated so that the valet parking staff's future path cannot be identified.

In addition, the valet parking operation server 130 receives car wash request information or refueling request information from the customer terminal 120, and provides car wash service or refueling service during parking time through the car wash and refueling equipment provided in the parking lot 200. The service can be provided, and a request for leaving the car ahead of the departure schedule can be received from the customer terminal 120 and the vehicle can be moved to the drop station 100 and the pickup station 100A accordingly, and the electric vehicle In this case, electric charging services may be provided through electric charging facilities.

In addition, if the customer is unable to take over the vehicle from the pickup station (100A) or if the customer is unable to drive it himself, the valet parking operation server 130 is designated by the valet parking operation server 130 or designated by the customer terminal 120. When the valet parking operation server 130 receives delivery or proxy driving request information from the customer terminal 120, it selects valet parking employees who can deliver or drive the vehicle, or In connection with the consignment or designated driver service platform, the consignment or designated driver service provision information is transmitted to the relevant valet parking employee terminal (140) or the consignment or designated driver service platform to pick up the customer at the pickup station (100A) and send him/her home. Alternatively, the vehicle may be delivered and moved independently from the parking lot 200 or the pickup station 100A to a location designated by the customer or to the customer's home, regardless of the customer's movement.

Therefore, due to the configuration of the valet parking system within a certain area as described above, when visiting a specific place, you are temporarily allowed to drive to a parking lot within a certain distance and park instead, thereby avoiding congested parking spaces in the surrounding area where it is difficult to secure a parking space. Parking problems can be easily resolved regardless of region or time of day without the driver's efforts.
