The present invention relates to a drive-in food store system capable of providing vertical parking and individual dedicated spaces, and more particularly, to a food store system capable of providing vertical parking and individual dedicated spaces, which can be operated by providing individual dedicated spaces capable of vertical parking in drive-through stores operated by food stores such as coffee shops and hamburgers.

Drive-through stores are being operated, centered around food stores such as cafes that sell coffee, tea, etc., and fast food restaurants that sell fast food such as hamburgers, where customers can order food while driving without getting out of their cars, pick up the ordered food, package it, and take it out.

Conventional drive-thru stores provide a path for customers visiting by car to order and pick up food while driving without having to park their cars, making them useful in stores with limited parking lots. In addition, customers can order and pick up food without getting out of their cars, making them convenient for customers using their cars.

However, if a customer using a car wants to eat inside the food store instead of taking out food, they have to park in the parking lot and go inside the store to order and pick up the food, which is very inconvenient.

In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a food store system that combines the advantages of a drive-thru and a store, which provides vertical parking and an individual dedicated space, by combining a drive-thru store with an individual dedicated space capable of vertical parking, so that customers eating at the food store can order and pick up food without getting out of their cars, and by providing an individual dedicated space attached to the parking lot after vertically parking their cars.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating a food store system capable of providing vertical parking and individual dedicated spaces according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a food store system capable of providing vertical parking and individual dedicated spaces according to the present invention may be configured to include a driveway unit (10) installed in a food store and designed to allow a customer to move by car while ordering food, picking up the ordered food, and moving to an exit or guiding to a vertical parking room; a vertical parking room unit (20) that vertically moves the car to park in a dedicated parking space after picking up the ordered food, and provides a space where the picked up food can be eaten; a control unit (30) that controls the allocation of a dedicated parking space when a drive-in car mode is selected, the vertical movement of the car in the allocated dedicated parking space to enter, and the exit of the entered car; and a horizontal movement means (40) that horizontally moves between the dedicated parking lot of the vertical parking room unit and a car elevator.

Here, food is defined to include all food and beverages served in cafes, bakeries, fast food restaurants, etc.

The above driveway unit (10) is connected to a driveway (110) that allows a car to enter through an entrance, order food, pick up the ordered food, and exit through an exit or enter a vertical parking room, and an ordering module (120) that allows a car to order food along the driveway (110) and pick up the ordered food.

It may include a pickup module (130).

Accordingly, a customer can drive along the driveway (110) in a car, select the drive-thru mode or drive-in mode at the ordering module (120), order food, pick up the ordered food, and move to the exit in the drive-thru mode or to the vertical parking room in the drive-in mode.

The above driveway unit (10) is configured to be applied to a typical drive-through store, in which food is ordered while driving a car, the ordered food is picked up, and the food is moved through the exit. In this embodiment, the driveway is configured in an L-shape, but depending on the size and shape of the food store, the driveway can be configured in various shapes such as a straight line, an L-shape, or a T-shape.

And, depending on the drive-in mode, it may further include a return module (140) for returning the food tray after eating food in the customer-only space (220) of the vertical parking room unit.

The above driveway unit (10) has the same configuration as a typical drive-through configuration formed in a cafe or fast food restaurant, except for the return module (140), so a detailed description will be omitted.

While conventional drive-through stores only allow customers who visit by car to order and pick up food, the present invention provides a service in which customers can order and pick up food, park in a dedicated parking lot of a vertical parking room, and then eat the food they picked up in a dedicated space attached to the dedicated parking lot.

Hereinafter, the method in which customers using their cars order and pick up food without getting out and take it out is defined as the drive-thru mode, and the method in which customers using their cars order and pick up food without getting out and park in a dedicated parking lot in a vertical parking room and eat the food they pick up in a dedicated space attached to the dedicated parking lot is defined as the drive-in mode.

FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically illustrating a vertical parking room unit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the vertical parking room unit (20) according to the present invention can be configured without a separate service core, as in FIG. 2a, but can be configured with a service core including a people-only elevator and corridor space, as in FIG. 2c and FIG. 2d.

The vertical parking room unit (20) according to the present invention may be configured to include at least one vehicle elevator module (210) for vertically moving a vehicle up and down, at least one dedicated parking lot (220) formed adjacent to the vehicle elevator module, and a customer-only space (230) connected to the dedicated parking lot where ordered food can be eaten.

The above vehicle elevator module (210) may be configured as a one-way elevator method in which each vehicle elevator moves a vehicle in one of the horizontal directions on the left and right or one of the longitudinal directions in the forward and backward direction as shown in FIG. 2d, and may be configured as a two-way elevator method in which one vehicle elevator moves a vehicle in both directions on each floor, either in the horizontal direction on the left and right or in the longitudinal direction in the forward and backward direction as shown in FIGS. 2a to 2c.

And, a customer-only space (230) is formed adjacent to the dedicated parking lot (220) where customers who park their cars can exclusively use the space and eat food.

That means you can park your car in drive-in mode and eat your food in the dedicated space attached.

The above customer-only space (230) can be set with tables and chairs for eating, and can be formed in various sizes depending on the number of people who can use it. For the convenience of customers, a restroom can be installed as shown in FIG. 2b and FIG. 2d.

FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a cross-sectional configuration of a vertical parking room according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 3, a dedicated parking lot can be individually installed with a charger (not shown) for charging electric vehicles in addition to parking. Accordingly, if a car parked in an individual dedicated parking lot is an electric vehicle, it can be charged.

The above dedicated parking lot may be equipped with a fire door (not shown) that can be sealed to the vehicle elevator module for fire or safety reasons.

It can be configured to automatically transport a car to a dedicated parking lot on a specific floor, with or without a driver on board.

Meanwhile, the horizontal movement means (40) is responsible for moving the car horizontally between the vehicle elevator (210) and the dedicated parking lot (220).

The above horizontal movement means (40) can be configured to move horizontally in the horizontal direction when the vehicle elevator (210) and the dedicated parking lot (220) are formed horizontally adjacent to each other, and to move horizontally in the vertical direction when they are formed vertically adjacent to each other.

In the following examples, a configuration in which a horizontal moving means (40) moves a vehicle laterally is described, but it is obvious that the same configuration and operation can be applied to a method of moving a vehicle in a longitudinal direction.

FIG. 5 schematically illustrates horizontal movement of a vehicle through a main plate according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The above horizontal movement means (40) may be configured to include a main plate (410) on which a vehicle entering or exiting a vehicle elevator (210) is loaded, a rail (420) formed on the side or bottom of the main plate, a rotating member (431) that is mounted on the rail and provides a rotational force so that the rail can move horizontally in the lateral direction, and a driving unit (430) having a driving motor (432).

Here, the main plates (410) are installed on the floor of each dedicated parking lot, and when a call for entry is received from a customer as a dedicated main plate, the vehicle elevator (210) loads the main plate (410) and moves vertically to the entry floor, then loads a car onto the main plate (410), moves vertically to the floor of the dedicated parking lot, and then slides and parks the car.

Accordingly, the horizontal movement means (40) has the role of sliding and moving the main plate (410) placed in each dedicated parking lot on each floor. When the vehicle elevator arrives at a specific floor, the main plate (410) can be horizontally moved into the vehicle elevator through sliding movement control, or conversely, the main plate (410) inside the vehicle elevator can be horizontally moved into the dedicated parking lot (20).

The above-mentioned rotating member (431) may be configured in the form of a pulley such as a wheel or roller, and the main plate may move horizontally according to the rotational force of the rotating member while the rotating member is engaged with a rail formed on the side or bottom of the main plate. Here, the main plate (410) may be moved horizontally and reciprocally according to the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating member.

Additionally, the rail (420) and the rotating member (431) may be configured as a gear assembly combining gears such as a rack gear.

The above driving motor (432) provides a rotational force to the rotating member to provide a driving force that allows the main plate to slide laterally, and may be configured as a step motor or an electric motor.

The above driving unit (430) can be formed on the side or bottom surface depending on the position of the rail formed on the main plate.

Fig. 5a is a structure in which a rail is integrally formed on the side of the main plate, and a driving unit can be formed on each side of the dedicated parking lot and the vehicle elevator so that a rotating member can be installed on the rail.

FIG. 6 schematically illustrates a horizontal movement means according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the horizontal movement means (40) according to the present invention can be configured in a conveyor belt manner.

More specifically, the horizontal moving means (40) may be configured to include a main plate (410) on which a vehicle entering or exiting the vehicle elevator is loaded, a conveyor belt (450) formed under the main plate, and a conveyor drive unit (460) coupled within the conveyor belt to provide driving force to the conveyor belt.

The above main plate (410) is installed so as to be at the same level as the dedicated parking lot or elevator floor, and a conveyor belt (450) and a conveyor drive unit (460) can be formed through a conveyor belt receiving portion (A) under the main plate.

The above conveyor belt (450) may be configured to be supported on the inner side wall of the conveyor belt receiving portion (A) or on a separate frame.

Here, the main plate (410) may be composed of a single plate covering the lower part of the car, but may be composed of two unit plates formed only at the part where the wheels of the car come into contact.

FIG. 7 illustrates a configuration of a conveyor belt according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention along a main plate, and FIG. 8 illustrates an automobile being loaded onto a main plate.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, if the main plate (410) is composed of a single plate as in FIG. 7a, the conveyor belt may be composed of a single unit, but may be composed of a pair of conveyor belts composed of two unit plates as in FIG. 7b.

When the above main plate (410) is composed of two unit plates, the front and rear wheels of the car can be formed respectively in the loading section as shown in Fig. 8b.

The above conveyor belt (450) is responsible for moving the main plate (410) laterally below the main plate.

The above conveyor belt (450) may be composed of a first conveyor belt (450a) formed on the floor of a vehicle elevator and a second conveyor belt (450b) formed on the floor of a dedicated parking lot.

The above driving unit (460) may also be composed of a first conveyor driving unit (460a) that provides driving force to the first conveyor belt (450a) and a second conveyor driving unit (460b) that provides driving force to the second conveyor belt (450b).

Basically, the vehicle elevator unit (10) moves vertically and is responsible for horizontally entering and exiting automobiles in the dedicated parking lot on each floor. Since a door is formed between the vehicle elevator and the dedicated parking lot, the conveyor belt must be configured separately.

Even if the conveyor belts are configured separately, the main plate (410) can be stably transported laterally because the gap width between the conveyor belts is not large.

Between the above conveyor belt and the main plate (410), teeth may be formed to mesh to prevent the main plate from separating during lateral movement.

And the conveyor drive unit (460) that controls the drive of the conveyor belt (450) may be configured to include a wheel (461) formed inside the conveyor belt, a motor (462) that provides driving force to the wheel, and a controller (not shown) that controls the drive of the motor.

The above wheels (461) may be formed in multiple pieces inside the conveyor belt, and the motors (462) may also be formed in multiple pieces depending on the power required for driving.

And, as in Fig. 7b, when the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are each composed of two conveyor belts, the wheel may be configured to be connected to the two conveyor belts by an axis so that the two conveyor belts operate in synchronization.

The above controller is responsible for controlling the main plate (410) to be moved laterally through the operation of the motor according to the control of the control unit (30).

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating horizontal transportation from an elevator to a dedicated parking lot when a horizontal transportation means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is configured in the form of a conveyor belt.

When a car loaded on the main plate (410) in the car elevator unit (10) moves vertically to the vertical generation of the car owner, the drive unit (461) in the elevator operates to cause the first conveyor belt (451) to move laterally toward the dedicated parking lot (20). Then, the drive unit (462) in the dedicated parking lot (20) operates to cause the second conveyor belt (452) to move laterally and transport the car into the dedicated parking lot (20).

As described above, when a car is completely moved into the dedicated parking lot (20) and parked, the vehicle elevator unit (10) is vertically moved to allow other cars to enter and exit the parking lot.

And the operation of horizontally transporting a car parked in the dedicated parking lot (20) to the vehicle elevator unit (10) is performed by the reverse process of the operation of horizontally transporting the car from the vehicle elevator unit (10) to the dedicated parking lot (20), so a detailed description will be omitted.

FIG. 10 schematically illustrates a horizontal movement means according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the horizontal movement means (40) according to the present invention may be configured as a horizontal movement lifter (45) that lifts and horizontally moves an automobile parked in a dedicated parking lot or loaded into a vehicle elevator unit in a horizontal direction.

As shown in FIGS. 10a to 10c, the horizontal movement lifter (45) can be configured in a way that directly loads a car without a main plate, and as shown in FIGS. 10d to 10f, in a way that has a main plate on which a car is loaded.

First, the method of directly loading the car is configured to horizontally move through the floor or side of the horizontal movement lifter movement guide home (480) formed on the dedicated parking lot and the elevator floor, respectively, for the movement of the horizontal movement lifter (470), on which the horizontal movement lifter is mounted and can slide.

The embodiments of FIGS. 10a to 10c have the advantage of shortening the time required for moving a vehicle, since entry and exit of the vehicle is possible without a dedicated main plate, and there is no need to bring the main plate from the dedicated parking lot.

The above horizontal movement lifter (470) is responsible for lifting up a car, sliding horizontally to move the car horizontally, and then lifting down the car to park the car in the dedicated parking lot or to pull out a car parked in the dedicated parking lot when pulling a car loaded onto an elevator into the dedicated parking lot.

More specifically, the horizontal movement lifter (470) may be configured to include a lifting plate (471) positioned at the bottom on the rear surface between the wheels of a car parked in a dedicated parking lot or loaded into a car elevator unit, a lifter (472) that lifts up the car by lifting the lifting plate, and a horizontal movement means (473) that is coupled to the bottom of the lifter and moves the car laterally and horizontally to the dedicated parking lot or car elevator when the car is lifted.

The above lifting plate (471) is the same height as the floor surface when lifted down and touches the back surface between the wheels of the car when lifted up, thereby lifting the car. Since it comes into direct contact with the lower part of the car, an elastic layer of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone may be combined on a metal base plate to prevent damage to the car during the lift-up process.

The above lifter (472) is responsible for lifting up or lifting down the lifting plate, and may be configured as a hydraulic cylinder type lifter that raises and lowers the car by pushing a plunger through a cylinder with pressurized oil driven by a motor.

Here, the configuration of the above lifter is a technology that is obvious to those with ordinary knowledge of the present invention, so the specific configuration and description will be omitted.

The above lifter (472) can be lifted down in a form in which it is exposed on the body of the horizontal moving means (473) or is received on the body in a flat form.

Meanwhile, a method having a main plate on which a car is loaded, such as in FIGS. 10d to 10g, may be configured to include a main plate (410) that is lifted up/down by a horizontal movement lifter (470), a movement guide home (480) of a horizontal movement lifter formed on a dedicated parking lot and an elevator floor, respectively, in which the horizontal movement lifter is mounted and can slide, and a plate fixing part (481) formed on the edge of the movement guide home (480).

Here, the movement guide home (480) of the horizontal movement lifter provides a space in which the horizontal movement lifter can move while lifting up the main plate (410), and the plate fixing part (481) serves to fix the main plate (410) and may be configured to protrude in a protrusion or band shape from the bottom of the edge of the movement guide home (480).

The upper part of the above plate fixing member (481) may further include a shock-absorbing buffer material to prevent damage due to impact during the process of loading the main plate (410), and the buffer material may be composed of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone.

The height of the above plate fixing member (481) is formed to be greater than the height of the horizontal movement lifter (450) when the lifting plate (451) of the horizontal movement lifter (470) is lifted down, so that the horizontal movement lifter (470) can move through the movement guide groove (480) in the lifted-down state, and when the main plate (410) is placed on the plate fixing member (481), it can be configured to be identical to the floor surface of the corresponding floor.

When the horizontal movement means (473) of the horizontal movement lifter (470) is configured as a rail type as in FIG. 10, it may be configured to include a moving member (453a) that is coupled to the rail (473c) formed on the bottom of the lifter (472) and moves horizontally in the transverse direction along the rail, and a driving motor (453b) that provides driving force to the moving member.

The above-mentioned moving member (473a) may be configured to move laterally in a straight line along a rail (473c) formed on the bottom or side of a horizontal moving lifter moving home, and may be configured with a method in which a pulley such as a wheel or roller is coupled to the rail, and a shaft having a protrusion that is seated in a groove formed in the rail. In addition, the rail and the moving member may be configured in a gear assembly manner such as a rack gear.

The above driving motor (473b) is configured to provide driving force that allows the moving member to slide laterally and may be configured as a step motor or an electric motor.

Meanwhile, the control unit (30) controls the operation of the vehicle elevator and the doors of individual vehicle parking lots to control the movement of a car entered into the vehicle elevator unit to the vehicle parking lot on the floor desired by the driver.

In addition, the horizontal movement means (473) may be configured as a wheel type capable of autonomous driving rather than a rail type that moves along a rail.

FIG. 11 schematically illustrates a horizontal moving lifter capable of autonomous driving according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, the horizontal movement lifter (470) may be configured in the form of a robot capable of autonomous driving.

In this case, the horizontal movement lifter (470) is equipped with a wheel unit (474) capable of self-movement and a controller unit (475) that controls the operation of the lifter and the wheel unit, and can be configured to autonomously move the main plate (410) along the lift-up/down and movement guide home (480).

The above wheel unit (474) may be configured to include a wheel that moves autonomously along the bottom of the moving guide home (480) and a wheel drive module.

Here, when the height of the lifting plate (471) of the horizontal movement lifter (470) in the lifted-down state is formed lower than the height of the lower surface of the car, the horizontal movement lifter (470) can move on the dedicated parking lot and the elevator floor without a separate movement guide home (480) formed lower than the floor level.

The above controller (475) may be configured to include a wheel control module that controls the operation of the wheel for the lateral movement of the horizontal movement lifter (470) and a wireless control module that receives a wheel control command for autonomous movement of the wheel in real time through wireless communication and provides the wheel control command to the wheel control module.

The above wireless control module receives the wheel control command from the control unit (30) that controls the vertical movement of the vehicle elevator unit (10) and the horizontal movement of the vehicle, and provides it to the wheel control module so that the horizontal movement lifter (450) can be controlled to move according to autonomous driving.

And the wheel may be configured as a multi-axis movement wheel or omni-wheel capable of movement in not only one direction but also two axes (X-axis, Y-axis). When the multi-axis movement wheel is configured as a wheel, the wheel may be coupled to a rotation axis, and the rotation axis may be configured to rotate according to the direction of travel to enable two-axis movement.

1. Sliding vehicle entry/exit method through the main plate

First, in the case of the method in which the main plate dedicated to the dedicated space in each dedicated parking lot moves, when the order of entry is reached, the vehicle elevator moves to the floor of the dedicated parking lot according to the dedicated space information of the recognized car, and then moves the main plate located in the dedicated parking lot horizontally into the interior of the vehicle elevator using a sliding movement means.

Next, after descending to the vehicle elevator entrance, when the car is moved inside the vehicle elevator, it moves vertically to the floor of the dedicated parking lot according to the recognized dedicated space information of the car.

And when it arrives at the dedicated parking lot floor, the main plate inside the vehicle elevator is moved horizontally to the dedicated parking lot through a sliding moving means.

Through the above process, the car is parked in the dedicated parking lot of the dedicated space with the main plate loaded.

When exiting, the user calls the car elevator, and when the car elevator arrives at the floor with the dedicated parking lot in the order of dispatch, the car is loaded onto the main plate of the dedicated parking lot and the main plate is moved horizontally into the car elevator using a sliding means.

After descending to the vehicle elevator entrance, the user moves the car outside the vehicle elevator to exit the car.

2. Sliding vehicle entry/exit method using a horizontal movement lifter

Horizontal movement is divided into moving from a dedicated parking lot to inside a car elevator and moving from inside a car elevator to a dedicated parking lot. Since the movements are the same except that they slide in opposite directions, only the case of horizontal movement from inside a car elevator to a dedicated parking lot will be described.

First, when the vehicle elevator arrives at the user's dedicated parking lot floor, the lifter (472) of the movable lifter accommodated in the movable lifter movable guide home (480) on the floor surface inside the vehicle elevator lifts up the lifting plate (471) and comes into contact with the lower portion between the wheels of the vehicle, thereby lifting up the vehicle.

In this state, the horizontal movement means (473) below the lifter (472) slides toward the dedicated parking lot. Here, since the car is lifted by the lifter (472), it can be moved horizontally by the horizontal movement means (473).

When the above horizontal moving means (473) moves horizontally to the end of the dedicated parking lot, the lifter (472) lowers the lifting plate (471) and the car is lifted down and parked with its wheels touching the floor of the dedicated parking lot.

And the horizontal moving means (473) slides in the opposite direction inside the vehicle elevator so that the moving lifter (470) returns to the original position.

As described above, when the moving lifter (470) returns to the inside of the vehicle elevator, it is ready to allow another vehicle to enter or exit, and allows the next vehicle to enter or exit according to dispatch information.

The above control unit (30) may be configured to include a parking room management unit (310) that identifies a customer who has selected the drive-in mode and allocates a dedicated space and dedicated parking lot to the identified customer, a call management unit (320) that manages the customer's vehicle elevator call, and a vehicle movement control unit (330) that controls the vertical movement of the vehicle elevator and the horizontal movement of the horizontal movement means of the vehicle according to the vehicle elevator unit call.

The above parking room management unit (310) may be configured to include an order management module (311) that receives and manages customer mode selection and food menu orders, and a dedicated space management module (312) that allocates and manages dedicated spaces and dedicated parking lots to customers who select the drive-in mode.

The above order management module (311) provides an interface through which a customer can select a mode and make a reservation for a food menu in advance through a user application installed on a customer terminal carried by the customer, and is responsible for processing an order for the corresponding mode and food menu when a request for a mode selection and a food menu order is made in real time through the order module (120) of the driveway unit (10).

The above user application may provide an interface that allows the customer to select a desired mode, either drive-through mode or drive-through mode, and to select a food menu to order.

Here, the drive-through mode is a mode in which the ordered food is picked up and taken away, and the drive-in mode is a mode in which the ordered food is picked up, parked in the dedicated parking lot (210) of the vertical parking room unit (20), and the food is eaten in the attached dedicated space (220).

The above dedicated space management module (312) is responsible for checking the reservation and occupancy status information of the dedicated space and allocating and managing the dedicated space in real time when a customer requests a prior reservation for the drive-in mode or visits without a reservation and selects the drive-in mode.

Here, the dedicated space management module (312) can provide an interface through which a customer can directly select a dedicated space by providing information on empty dedicated spaces when a reservation is requested.

First, when a customer requests a reservation for a dedicated space in advance, reservation information can be registered, a fee can be paid, and a reservation identification code that authenticates the reservation can be issued, which can be stored in the user application (710) of the customer terminal (70). Here, the reservation identification code can be composed of a barcode, QR code, NFC, etc.

In addition, the reservation information may include the date of use of the exclusive space, reservation identification code, user information, number of people, reservation holder's phone number, car number, etc.

When visiting without a reservation and requesting drive-in mode through the ordering module (120) of the driveway unit, real-time dedicated space occupancy status information can be retrieved and, if there is an empty dedicated space, an empty dedicated space can be allocated with a charge.

Here, the dedicated space can be provided in units of minutes or hours, taking into account the time for eating food, and a time limit can be set for the turnover rate of the dedicated space.

For example, if the time limit is set to 3 hours, the customer can choose any time within 3 hours.

And when the dedicated space management module (312) allocates a specific dedicated space to a customer, it registers the customer's car number and the number and allocation time of the specific dedicated space by mapping them to create reservation information.

Here, the above-mentioned exclusive space is a space attached to an exclusive parking lot, so if the exclusive parking lot is specified, the exclusive space can be specified.

Accordingly, the dedicated space management module (312) can specify a dedicated parking lot by specifying and storing the number of the dedicated space when the dedicated space is allocated.

For example, if a vehicle elevator is composed of three elevators (elevators 1 to 3) and a dedicated parking lot is formed on both sides of each elevator, and if the left and right sides of the first elevator are set as lines 1-2, the left and right sides of the second elevator are set as lines 3-4, and the left and right sides of the third elevator are set as lines 5-6, and if the dedicated space is allocated as 306, the dedicated parking lot formed on the right side of the third floor of the third elevator is specified, and a dedicated space attached to the dedicated parking lot can be specified.

In addition, the dedicated space management module (312) may be configured to further include a time limit management module (312a) that notifies the customer by sending an alarm through the customer application when the dedicated space is allocated and the set time limit has been reached.

The above time limit management module (312a) can be configured to guide the customer to sufficiently prepare and exit before the set time limit arrives and to send an alarm at the set notification time before the time limit arrives, considering the waiting time for exit. Here, the notification time can be set to 10 minutes before the time limit, 5 minutes before, etc.

In addition, the time limit management module (312a) can analyze the dedicated space allocation and reservation information and control to allocate additional time if additional time is available when a customer requests additional time for the dedicated space through the user application (710). If a charge is required for providing additional time, the time limit management module (312a) can be responsible for processing the charge.

The above call management unit (320) is responsible for authenticating and identifying the user according to the call when a call is requested for the vehicle elevator unit when the customer enters or exits the dedicated parking lot with the vehicle, registering the call information, and managing the dispatch of the vehicle elevator unit.

More specifically, the call management unit (320) may be configured to include a user information management module (321) that registers the dedicated space information when the dedicated space is allocated by the dedicated space management module (312) and the dedicated space information is registered, identifies a customer using the dedicated space from the dedicated space information when there is a call for a vehicle elevator unit, and identifies the location of the dedicated parking lot allocated to the customer from the identified dedicated space information, and a dispatch management module (322) that determines and assigns the dispatch order for the vehicle elevator unit to the user by considering the call information of the vehicle elevator unit called first when the customer identification is completed.

The present invention can be configured as an interface for calling a vehicle elevator unit through a user application (710) of a customer's terminal (70), although a call button is formed in each dedicated parking lot, similar to an elevator used by people, to manually call the vehicle elevator unit.

The above user information management module (321) is responsible for identifying the customer through a previously stored reservation identification code or vehicle number recognition when a customer who is a user of the exclusive space makes a call request through a user application (710) installed on his/her terminal, and confirming the location of the customer's exclusive parking lot (220) based on the registered exclusive space information.

In addition, the above call management unit (320) may be configured to further include an automatic call module (323) that is equipped with a vehicle recognition sensor that automatically recognizes the vehicle number when a vehicle enters and is installed in a waiting position at the entrance of the vehicle elevator when a vehicle is called for entry, and can automatically call the vehicle elevator unit when the vehicle number is recognized by the vehicle recognition sensor.

Unlike exiting, in the case of entry, since the customer drives the car and stops it at the waiting position of the vehicle elevator unit, the automatic call module (323) can be configured to automatically recognize the license plate of the car, identify the user from the exclusive space information matching the recognized license plate, and confirm the exclusive parking lot location of the identified user to automatically call.

Here, if there is a waiting vehicle upon entry, the vehicle elevator can be called directly through the reservation application (710) of the user terminal.

Accordingly, the user information management module (321) can identify a customer by linking with the dedicated space information, and accordingly, can check the location and vehicle number of the dedicated parking lot of the customer to whom the dedicated space has been allocated.

And the above dispatch management module (322) is responsible for determining the dispatch order by scheduling the vehicle elevator unit by considering whether it is entering or leaving and the previously called call information when a call for the vehicle elevator unit is received from a customer, and providing dispatch information to the customer.

The above dispatch management module (322) determines the dispatch order according to the user call and when dispatch information is generated, the dispatch information is transmitted through the user application (710) of the calling customer.

Here, the dispatch information can include information such as the dispatch order and the time required to board the vehicle elevator, and when exiting, the customer can check the dispatch information to know the exact exit time, thereby minimizing waiting time.

In addition, the above dispatch management module (322) can transmit an alarm through the customer's user application (710) to prevent delay in exiting the vehicle when the customer's vehicle is in the car elevator's turn to board.

And the above vehicle movement control unit (330) is responsible for controlling the vehicle to move horizontally inside the vehicle elevator and to move the vehicle elevator vertically and horizontally to allow the vehicle to enter and exit according to the dispatch order determined by the call management unit (320).

More specifically, the vehicle movement control unit (330) may be configured to include a vertical movement control module (331) that controls the vertical movement of the vehicle elevator unit, and a horizontal movement control module (332) that controls a vehicle loaded onto the vehicle elevator unit to move horizontally in the horizontal direction to the exclusive parking lot of the exclusive space user when entering, and to move horizontally in the horizontal direction to the inside of the vehicle elevator unit when exiting.

The above vertical movement control module (331) is configured to control the ascent and descent of a conventional vehicle elevator, and since it has the same configuration as a conventional elevator and is obvious to those skilled in the art with general knowledge of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

And since the operation of the horizontal movement control module (332) overlaps with the operation of the horizontal movement means of FIGS. 5 to 11, a detailed description will be omitted.

FIG. 12 schematically illustrates a case where multiple elevator units are installed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of Fig. 12 is an embodiment in which dedicated spaces for vertical parking rooms are arranged from lines 1 to 4, and two vehicle elevator units (EV1, EV2) are arranged.

When a customer is assigned room 501 when ordering food and the dedicated space allocation information is registered, the customer can be guided to enter the first vehicle elevator unit (EV1) while providing the assigned dedicated space information (room 501) through the user application installed on the customer's terminal.

When the above customer enters the first vehicle elevator unit (EV1) with his/her car, the identification means of the first vehicle elevator unit (EV1) recognizes the user's reservation identification code or car number.

When the above reservation identification code or vehicle number is recognized, the reservation information and exclusive space information stored in the database are compared to extract the matching exclusive space information and the location of the exclusive space and exclusive parking lot.

Here, since the customer is assigned exclusive space 501, the first vehicle elevator unit (EV1) can move the car horizontally inside, move the customer's car vertically to the 5th floor where the exclusive parking lot of 501 is located, and then move horizontally to the exclusive parking lot of 501 to park the car.

If the user enters the second vehicle elevator unit (EV2), he/she can be guided to move to the first vehicle elevator unit (EV1).

Although the detailed description of the present invention described above has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be variously modified and changed within a scope that does not depart from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.
