## Abstract

A mobility for storing a personal transportation includes a first storage unit formed on a side of the mobility and configured for storing the personal transportation therein without folding thereof; a second storage unit formed on a side of the mobility and configured for storing the personal transportation therein after the personal transportation is folded; a controller configured to control the first storage unit and the second storage unit in response to a mobility user's request; and a server configured to receive information related to whether the first storage unit and the second storage unit are used, and a remaining battery capacity, use time, and movable distance of the stored personal transportation from the controller, and to communicate with the mobility user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobility for storing a personal transportation, the mobility comprising:
a first storage unit formed on a side of the mobility and configured for storing the personal transportation therein without folding thereof;
a second storage unit formed on a side of the mobility and configured for storing the personal transportation therein after the personal transportation is folded;
a controller configured to control the first storage unit and the second storage unit in response to a mobility user's request; and
a server configured to receive information related to whether the first storage unit and the second storage unit are used, and a remaining battery capacity, use time, and movable distance of the stored personal transportation from the controller, and to communicate with the mobility user,
wherein the first storage unit includes:
a first storage space storing the personal transportation and formed inside a seat of the mobility; and
an entrance, through which the personal transportation enters or exits, formed outside the mobility.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 1,
wherein the first storage unit and the second storage unit are provided with a charger configured for charging the personal transportation.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 1,
wherein the second storage unit includes:
a housing storing the folded personal transportation; and
a second storage space storing the housing and formed inside the mobility.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 1, further including a personal transportation entrance auxiliary panel hingedly coupled to a lower end portion of the first storage unit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 3,
wherein the entrance is configured to be opened or closed vertically.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 3,
wherein a first guide rail configured to guide a movement direction of the housing is fixed and formed in the second storage space, and
wherein the housing is formed with a second guide rail configured to move the housing along the first guide rail.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 6,
wherein the second storage space is provided with a motor configured to move the second guide rail forward or backward in accordance with a control of the controller.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 7, wherein an end portion of the motor is provided with a pinion gear, and a rack gear engaged with the pinion gear is positioned on an end portion of the second guide rail so that the housing slides according to rotation of the motor.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 1,
wherein an upper end portion of the second storage unit is provided with a radiation unit and after the mobility stops, the radiation unit is configured to radiate a receiving position of the personal transportation on the ground.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 3,
wherein the outsides of the entrance of the first storage unit and the housing of the second storage unit are provided with identification marks configured for identifying a storage position of the personal transportation.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

wherein the sides of the first storage unit and the second storage unit are provided with identification marks configured for identifying a storage position of the personal transportation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 11,
wherein the identification marks are provided with a flashing light, and
after the mobility stops, the flashing light of the identification marks flashes so that the mobility user recognizes a position at which the personal transportation is stored.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 12,
wherein after the mobility stops, the flashing light of the identification mark marks flashes so that the mobility user recognizes a storage position of an available personal transportation.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 1,
wherein the server is configured to inform the mobility user of an available personal transportation stored in the first storage unit or the second storage unit or to inform the mobility user of the first storage unit or the second storage unit, which is currently empty.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 14,
wherein the controller is further configured to receive the mobility user's request from the server to control the first storage unit or the second storage unit.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 15,
wherein the controller is further configured to receive the mobility user's request from the server to control the first storage unit or the second storage unit so that the first storage unit or the second storage unit is opened or closed.

### Claim 17 (depends on 2)

The mobility for storing the personal transportation of claim 2,
wherein the controller is further configured to receive the mobility user's request from the server to control the charger to charge the personal transportation stored in the first storage unit or the second storage unit.
