PARKING SPACE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233540 titled 'PARKING SPACE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
The patent application describes a method for managing parking spaces using a communication apparatus that transmits a radio signal beamformed in a specific direction to determine the status of a parking space.
- The communication apparatus determines if a parking space is vacant by receiving a response signal to the radio signal.
- If the communication apparatus does not receive a response signal, it concludes that the parking space is occupied by a vehicle parked there.
- This method allows for efficient monitoring and management of parking spaces in real-time.
Potential Applications: - Smart parking systems in urban areas - Parking lot management for commercial buildings - Parking space availability notifications for drivers
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in monitoring parking space occupancy in real-time - Inefficient parking space management leading to congestion - Lack of accurate information on parking space availability
Benefits: - Improved parking space utilization - Reduced traffic congestion - Enhanced user experience for drivers looking for parking spaces
Commercial Applications: Title: Smart Parking Management System This technology can be used by parking lot operators, smart city initiatives, and commercial real estate developers to optimize parking space usage and improve overall traffic flow in urban areas.
Questions about Parking Space Management: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of parking space management? - This technology allows for real-time monitoring of parking space occupancy, enabling better utilization of available parking spaces. 2. What are the potential benefits of implementing this parking space management method? - The benefits include reduced congestion, improved user experience for drivers, and optimized parking space usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
a parking space management method by a communication apparatus comprises transmitting, a radio signal beamformed in a specific direction, determining that a parking space associated with the specific direction is in a state of being vacant when the communication apparatus receives a response signal in response to the radio signal, and determining that the parking space is in a state of being occupied by a vehicle parked therein when the communication apparatus does not receive the response signal.
