Whether a vehicle is parked inside parking lines in a parking lot is detected. When the vehicle is detected not parked inside the parking lines, either the vehicle or the parking lines are moved in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the parking lines.
Claims11
A parking lot management system, comprising:
- a vehicle parked position detection unit configured to detect whether a vehicle is parked inside reference parking lines in a parking lot;
- a movement management unit configured to, based on a determination by the vehicle parked position detection unit that the vehicle is not parked inside the reference parking lines, move the vehicle or the reference parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines;
- and
- a parking line indication device configured to selectively indicate the reference parking lines and auxiliary parking lines shifted with respect to the reference parking lines after the vehicle is parked,
- wherein based on the determination by the vehicle parked position detection unit that the vehicle is not parked inside the indicated reference parking lines, indication of the reference parking lines is switched from the reference parking lines to the auxiliary parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines.
A parking lot management method, comprising:
- detecting whether a vehicle is parked inside reference parking lines in a parking lot;
- based on a determination the vehicle is detected as not being parked inside the reference parking lines, moving the vehicle or the reference parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines;
- and
- selectively indicating reference parking lines and auxiliary parking lines shifted with respect to the reference parking lines after the vehicle is parked,
- wherein based on the determination that the vehicle is detected as not being parked inside the reference parking lines, indication of the reference parking lines is switched from the reference parking lines to the auxiliary parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor in a parking lot management system cause the processor to execute a method comprising:
- detecting whether a vehicle is parked inside reference parking lines in a parking lot;
- and
- based on a determination the vehicle is detected as not being parked inside the reference parking lines, moving the vehicle or the reference parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines;
- and
- selectively indicating reference parking lines and auxiliary parking lines shifted with respect to the reference parking lines after the vehicle is parked,
- wherein based on the determination that the vehicle is detected as not being parked inside the reference parking lines, indication of the reference parking lines is switched from the reference parking lines to the auxiliary parking lines in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the reference parking lines.
