A vehicle-searching guidance method includes: displaying a vehicle-searching guidance interface in response to a first trigger operation on a first control, the vehicle-searching guidance interface being used for providing guidance information for vehicle searching; transmitting a multimedia content obtaining request to an electronic device in response to a second trigger operation on a second control on the vehicle-searching guidance interface; receiving multimedia guidance content returned by the electronic device according to the multimedia content obtaining request, the multimedia guidance content including environmental information of a parking space in which a vehicle is parked; and presenting the multimedia guidance content for a user to search for the vehicle.

A parking management system includes a guide robot disposed in a parking space provided with a plurality of parking areas, the guide robot being configured to be matched with a vehicle entering the parking space and to be driven ahead of the matched vehicle to guide the matched vehicle to an allocated parking area, and a management server configured to recognize the vehicle entering the parking space, to match the recognized vehicle with the guide robot, to monitor the parking space to identify a parking status of each of the parking areas, to allocate a parking area to the matched vehicle based on the identified parking status, and to control the guide robot to be driven to the allocated parking area.

Recommendation data that matches a preference of a user and includes data on a facility available for the user is generated based on various data. The various data include registration data on the user, hobby data on the user, registration data on the various facilities, and use situation data on the various facilities. The recommendation data is transmitted to the user terminal. After transmission of the recommendation data, it is determined whether the reservation request data has been received from the user terminal or not. The reservation request data includes data on a requested facility wished by the user, and data on an available time slot of the requested facility. When it is determined that the reservation request data has been received, a reservation of the requested facility covering the available time slot is made based on the reservation request data.

Disclosed herein are multispace parking pay stations comprising: at least one processor, a memory, a communications element, a printer, and a computer program including instructions executable by the at least one processor to create an application comprising: a software module receiving a unique identifier associated with a parking customer, the parking customer having executed a mobile payment for parking in a space associated with the pay station; a software module transmitting the unique identifier to a central parking management server and querying the central parking management server with the unique identifier to identify the parking customer and verify the mobile payment; and a software module generating and sending instructions to the printer to print a payment verification for the parking customer.

According to a method for self-localization, a vehicle is detected by a vehicle-external sensor system of a parking infrastructure when it is located in a detection region of the vehicle-external sensor system. By way of a vehicle-external communication interface of the parking infrastructure, position information regarding the detection region is relayed in dependence on the detection of the vehicle to at least one vehicle computer unit and an initial pose of the vehicle is determined by the at least one vehicle computer unit in dependence on the position information.

According to an embodiment, a method for providing a smart parking space guide service to provide a real-time moving route and occupancy state is executed by a parking space guide service provider server and comprises starting to trace a vehicle's moving route upon receiving the vehicle's entry event from an entry recognition device for recognizing entry of the vehicle into a parking lot, updating, in real-time, the vehicle's moving route upon real-time entry of the vehicle's moving route from at least one movement recognition device, displaying occupancy by the vehicle's parking on a pre-stored parking spot map upon sensing the vehicle's parking state from any one of at least one vehicle recognition sensor installed in at least one parking spot, and updating, in real-time, and displaying the vehicle's moving route and occupancy state on the pre-stored parking spot map.

The invention realizes the flexibility and rapidization of charging, improves charging efficiency, and saves charging pile resource.

A vehicle control device is a vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle and includes an information provider configured to transmit information on a route from a parking position to a boarding position of the vehicle to a terminal device.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and method, and a program that enable processing corresponding to a recognition result with respect to a license plate of a vehicle.

On the basis of a recognition result with respect to a license plate of a vehicle in a captured image, characteristic information of the vehicle is extracted from the captured image, and processing corresponding to the extracted characteristic information of the vehicle is performed. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing device, an image processing device, a communication device, an electronic apparatus, an information processing method, a program, or the like.

Disclosed are systems and methods for projecting virtual parking lines in alignment with actual parking lines to facilitate parking within a parking stall defined by the actual parking lines to prevent unnecessary damage to vehicles in an area where the actual parking lines may not exist or be visible. The system identifies the location of the actual parking lines within a defined parking area based on previously recorded actual parking line data as well as localization of the vehicle within the defined parking area relative to the nearby landmarks. Virtual parking lines are generated that correspond with the location of the actual parking lines and are projected in alignment with the actual parking lines to facilitate parking.
