Abstract

A parking navigation method, device and system are provided. The parking navigation method comprises: acquiring initial location information of a vehicle; acquiring a target planned path based on a preset rule according to the initial location information and target parking location information; and sequentially turning on lighting devices on the target planned path, to guide the vehicle to travel to a target parking location.

Claims (47)

1. A parking navigation method, comprising:

acquiring initial location information of a vehicle;

acquiring a target planned path based on a preset rule according to the initial location information and target parking location information; and

sequentially turning on lighting devices on the target planned path to guide the vehicle to travel to the target parking location,

wherein the step of sequentially turning on the lighting devices on the target planned path comprises:

transmitting instruction and control information to a first lighting device closest to the vehicle on the target planned path to turn on the first lighting device,

in response to receiving prompt information from the first lighting device, determining whether there is a lighting device within a preset area of a second lighting device closest to the first lighting device in a direction of travel of the vehicle;

if there is a lighting device within the preset area of the second lighting device, determining whether the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-on state or not; and

transmitting instruction and control information to the second lighting device to turn on the second lighting device it the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-off state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of acquiring a target planned path based on a preset rule according to the initial location information and target parking location information comprises:

acquiring information about at least one target parking location in an available state in a target area;

acquiring at least one planned path according to the initial location information and the information about at least one target parking location; and

selecting, according to a preset rule, one planned path from the at least one planned path as the target planned path.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the preset rule includes that information on length of the selected planned path satisfies a first preset condition and/or information on vehicles on the selected planned path satisfies a second preset condition.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-on state, the method further comprises, before transmitting to the second lighting device the instruction and control information:

waiting for the lighting device within the preset area to change from the turned-on state to the turned-off state.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein, after the step of acquiring a target planned path based on the preset rule, the method further comprises:

modifying identification information of the target parking location to identification information of being occupied, wherein the identification information of being occupied is used to indicate that the target parking location is in an unavailable state.

6. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

modifying the identification information of the target parking location to identification information of being available when it is detected that the vehicle is moving away from the target area.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of the lighting devices is two or more, and on-duration of each of the lighting devices is 5 to 10 seconds.

8. A parking navigation device, comprising:

a memory in which computer program codes are stored;

a processor configured to execute the computer program codes stored in the memory to:

acquire initial location information of a vehicle;

acquire a target planned path based on a preset rule according to the initial location information and target parking location information; and

transmit instruction and control information to lighting devices on the target planed path so as to sequentially turn on the lighting devices on the target planned path to guide the vehicle to travel to the target parking location,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program codes to:

transmit instruction and control information to a first lighting device closest to the vehicle on the target planned path to turn on the first lighting device,

in response to receiving prompt information from the first lighting device, determine whether there is a lighting device within a preset area of a second lighting device closest to the first lighting device in a direction of travel of the vehicle;

if there is a lighting device within the preset area of the second lighting device, determine whether the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-on state or not; and

transmit instruction and control information to the second lighting device to turn on the second lighting device if the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-off state.

9. The parking navigation device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program codes to:

acquire information about at least one target parking location in an available state in a target area;

acquire at least one planned path according to the initial location information and the information about at least one target parking location; and

select, according to a preset rule, one planned path from the at least one planned path as the target planned path.

10. The parking navigation device of claim 9 , wherein the preset rule includes that information on length of the selected planned path satisfies a first preset condition and/or information on vehicles on the selected planned path satisfies a second preset condition.

11. The parking navigation device of claim 8 , wherein, if the lighting device within the preset area is in a turned-on state, the processor is further configured to execute the computer program codes to, before transmitting the instruction and control information to the second lighting device:

wait for the lighting device within the preset area to change from the turned-on state to the turned-off state.

12. The parking navigation device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program codes to:

modify identification information of the target parking location to identification information of being occupied, wherein the identification information of being occupied is used to indicate that the target parking location is in an unavailable state; and

modify the identification information of the target parking location to identification information of being available when it is detected that the vehicle is moving away from the target area.

13. The parking navigation device of claim 8 , wherein the number of the lighting devices is two or more, and on-duration of each of the lighting devices is 5 to 10 seconds.

14. A parking navigation system, comprising:

a parking navigation device of claim 8 ;

a sensor configured to generate sensing information when a vehicle enters the sensing range of the sensor, and to transmit the sensing information to a lighting device; and

the lighting device, configured to be turned on in response to receiving indication and control information, and to transmit prompt information to the parking navigation device when receiving the sensing information from the sensor.
