Method and apparatus for operating parking space for autonomous smart car

A parking space operating apparatus for an autonomous smart car, the apparatus controlling:

• at least one or more units, the one or more units being communicated and executed by a controller of a server using an algorithm associated with at least one computer-readable non-transitory storage device, the units comprising, a communication unit configured to provide communication with a financial institution server, an autonomous smart car, and a parking space server;
• a schedule setting unit configured to receive information on a current location of the autonomous smart car and information on a customer schedule in response to detection of a parking service request of each of a plurality of autonomous smart cars;
• an encryption unit configured to protect data of the parking space operating apparatus for the autonomous smart car through encryption of data being input and output through the communication unit and to provide encryption data when communicating with the financial institution server, the autonomous smart car, and the parking space server;
• a database configured to store information on a customer of the autonomous smart car, information on a plurality of parking spaces, and reservation information on parking spaces of a plurality of autonomous smart cars;
• in response to detection of a parking service request of the plurality of autonomous smart cars, the schedule setting unit configured to receive information on a current location of an autonomous smart car and information on a customer schedule;
• in response to detection of a communication signal with the financial institution server, the autonomous smart car, and the parking space server, the encryption unit configured to protect data of the parking space operating apparatus for the autonomous smart car through encryption of data being input and output through the communication unit and to provide encryption data;
• and the controller configured to control the communication unit, the database, the schedule setting unit, and the encryption unit and in response to detection of the autonomous smart car parking request, the autonomous smart car is guided to a parking space based on the current location of the autonomous smart car and the customer schedule through communication with the parking space server, the control including handling a request of the parking space server for searching the parking space and providing a service required for the parked autonomous smart car and executing payment through communication with the financial institution server when the autonomous smart car leaves the parking space or uses the service, wherein
• a plurality of autonomous smart cars that are autonomously and remotely controlled to be guided to the parking space and the parking space server of parking spaces providing services including car washing, maintenance, and charging to the autonomous smart cars in a smart parking space in response to detection of the autonomous smart car being guided to the parking space and parked,
• wherein in response to detection of the autonomous car using a parking space or leaving a parking space, the parking space operating apparatus communicates with a financial institution server to automatically execute payment of a parking fee of the autonomous smart car,
• in response to detection of the autonomous smart car parking requests, the autonomous smart car is remotely controlled to be guided to one of the plurality of parking spaces that is selected based on a current location and a schedule of the autonomous smart car, and
• a condition of the autonomous smart car is identified.
