Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The illustrated drawings are only enlarged to the essential content for clarity of the invention, and the additional ones are omitted and should not be construed as limited to the drawings.

1 is a schematic diagram of a hardware system of the present invention, comprising a license plate recognition camera 1, a ticketing machine (not shown), a circuit breaker 5, a parking guide board 7, a management operation computer 6 and a server computer 2. It is composed. Ticket machines are excluded when license plate recognition systems are used. 2 is a flowchart illustrating parking management by a parking control system.

The license plate recognition camera 1 photographs a license plate of a vehicle entering a parking lot, determines a license plate by a number recognition module (software), displays a vehicle number on a parking status display board, transmits it to a ticketing machine, and manages and operates a computer 6 And the server computer (2).

The ticketing machine receives the vehicle number from the number recognition module and prints it on the parking card. When the driver pulls out the printed parking card, the breaker opens and can enter the parking lot. The ticket machine may not be installed if the breaker is controlled by the number recognition module.

The parking guide display board 7 receives the parking available position closest to the entrance from the server computer 2 and displays the distance, the number of floors, the parking number, and the like to the parking available position. The parking information display board installed in the magnetic parking ticketing machine displays the vehicle number so that the driver can check when the number recognition is confirmed, and the parking information display board (7) is installed in various places in the parking lot, and the distance to the parking available position and the number of floors. And guides by displaying the parking surface number, etc., can use a high-brightness LED sign.

The parking line camera (4) and the image input module scan the parking area to determine whether to park. If the vehicle is parked, it recognizes the license plate and transmits parking information such as the number of floors and parking number to the server computer (2) and starts shooting. If the parking space is empty, the parking floor number and the parking number are transmitted to the server computer to guide the parking guide display board (7). The number recognition camera and the parking line camera use a high resolution camera of 5 million pixels or more to simultaneously monitor multiple cameras, photograph license plates, and use a wide-angle lens to act as a CCTV for real-time video relay.

The image taken from the camera is transmitted to the video server as shown in FIG. 4 through the video server interworking module to provide a video. The video server is a multi-channel video server that can receive more than 32 images. It stores images taken with the camera and transmits them to the server computer.

Management operation computer (6) is to monitor and monitor the parking status, manual parking status guide electronic signage and manual control of the PZT camera by security and monitoring at the station, and outputs security and control images.

Server computer (2) is interlocked with vehicle control system such as license plate recognition camera (1), ticketing machine, circuit breaker (5), video server, fee control system, number recognition, tracking, optimal location calculation, fee settlement and mobile banking system It interlocks and stores the parking information in the parking vehicle DB.

After parking the vehicle, the vehicle driver drives a parking management application (hereinafter referred to as an 'app') of the smart phone 3 to photograph the QR code attached to the surroundings of the parking. The QR code should be installed at a convenient location for the driver to shoot, such as the wall, pillar, or signboard around the parking lot. If you shoot a QR code with the camera of the smartphone (3), parking management app is a link for linking the smartphone (3) and the server computer (2) If you enter the vehicle number and phone number, the vehicle number and the smartphone The phone number is linked to the server computer and the preparation for parking management is completed. The QR code includes the IP or URL information that can be connected to the relevant parking control system. When the QR code is taken, the access address of the parking control system is extracted, and when touched, the access is immediately connected to the corresponding parking control system and the parking management program is executed. Appears in.

The parking management app can be downloaded and run from the parking lot homepage, and if you use it frequently, you can add it to your smartphone's favorites.

When the vehicle driver who leaves the parking lot enters the vehicle number by running the parking management app on the smartphone, the server computer can authenticate the owner and provide the vehicle information as shown in FIG. 3 because the smartphone number and the vehicle number are linked. have. That is, the parking information of own vehicle can be transmitted from the parking management server computer, so that the parking time and parking fee can be calculated in the middle, and the status of the vehicle can be viewed in real time through the video view menu. You can check the status of the vehicle, and if there is an obstacle that prevents the vehicle from getting out, you can contact the management office in advance so that it can be resolved before leaving the vehicle. In addition to real-time, you can use the recording view to watch videos of a specific time zone. In addition, the billing menu can be connected to the mobile banking or credit card companies and payment apps to pay the parking fee with a smartphone.

Figure 3 runs the parking management app and enter the parked vehicle number, shows the parking location, parking time, current rate and the like. The fare settlement menu is a menu that can be settled at the time of leaving the parking lot, and the video view can be configured as a real time view and a past recorded video view.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a parking management flow chart. FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating a system operation during vehicle entry and parking. When entering a vehicle, a license plate recognition camera and a number recognition module detect a vehicle number, generate a vehicle entry time, and transmit it to a server computer (central management server). The server computer generates vehicle information data, parking information, and video recording path. Save it to the server. When the vehicle is parked, the parking line camera 4 and the image input module detect the vehicle number and the parking position, generate a video, and store them in the image storage server via the server computer and the image gateway server.

Figure 5b is a state diagram after the parking management, when the vehicle parking lot to shoot the QR code attached to any place around the vehicle to run the app, the vehicle number, phone number input screen is generated. You can also download the app from the homepage in advance and enter the parking control system to create an account and ID. After that, the central management server generates the vehicle information, parking information video recording path and the owner telephone number information.

5c is a flowchart of checking a vehicle information by executing a parking management app with a smart phone, and executing a parking management app by logging in or entering a vehicle number, the central management server receives vehicle information, parking information, phone number information, and video from a DB server. When the recording path is searched and transmitted to the smartphone, the central management server retrieves the video data from the video storage server to the video gateway server to provide information to the smartphone.

Kiosk is a device for customers who do not use smartphone apps. It is a system that allows parking location and fare payment.
