Method of bicycle parking management and a system of bicycle parking management

Abstract

A bicycle parking management method and system which receives, by a user terminal, a temporary parking instruction triggered by a user; sends, by the user terminal, the temporary parking instruction to a cloud management platform; sends, by the cloud management platform, a first temporary locking instruction to a bicycle terminal after receiving the temporary parking instruction sent by the user terminal; and locks, by the bicycle terminal, a locking device on the bicycle, after receiving the first temporary locking instruction sent by the cloud management platform. The solution provided by the present disclosure does not require the user to manually lock the bicycle, thus improving the user's experience, and also providing a new solution for managing the parking of the bicycle.

1 - 17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . A bicycle, comprising:
 a bicycle terminal disposed on the bicycle;   a lock coupled to the bicycle; and   a controller, in the bicycle terminal, configured to:   receive a locking request,   wherein the locking request includes a user ID;   control the lock to lock the bicycle in response to receiving the locking request;   receive an unlocking request,   wherein the unlocking request includes a user ID; and   control the lock to unlock the bicycle in response to receiving the unlocking request,   wherein the controller will not unlock the bicycle when the user ID included with the locking request and the user ID included with unlocking request do not match.   
     
     
         19 . The bicycle of  claim 18 , wherein the controller receives the locking request from a user terminal. 
     
     
         20 . The bicycle of  claim 19 , wherein the locking request from the user terminal is transmitted to the controller via a short-distance communication link. 
     
     
         21 . The bicycle of  claim 18 , wherein the controller receives the unlocking request from a user terminal. 
     
     
         22 . The bicycle of  claim 21 , wherein the unlocking request from the user terminal is transmitted to the controller via a short-distance communication link. 
     
     
         23 . The bicycle of  claim 18 , wherein the controller generates the unlocking request based on an operation on the bicycle. 
     
     
         24 . The bicycle of  claim 23 , wherein the operation on the bicycle is one of vibration or motion applied to the bicycle. 
     
     
         25 . The bicycle of  claim 24 , wherein the bicycle includes an accelerometer to recognize the vibration or motion applied to the bicycle. 
     
     
         26 . The bicycle of  claim 23 , wherein the unlocking request obtains the user ID via a short-distance communication link. 
     
     
         27 . The bicycle of  claim 18 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 send the locking request to a remote management server via a long-distance communication link;   receive a locking instruction from the remote management server via the long-distance communication link; and   lock the lock based on the locking instruction.   
     
     
         28 . The bicycle of  claim 18 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 send the unlocking request to a remote management server via a long-distance communication link;   receive an unlocking instruction from the remote management server via a long-distance communication link; and   unlock the lock based on the unlocking instruction.   
     
     
         29 . A bicycle, comprising:
 a locking mechanism configured to lock and unlock the bicycle; and   a controller configured to:   receive a locking request,   wherein the locking request includes a bicycle ID;   control the locking mechanism to lock the bicycle, upon receiving a locking instruction based on the locking request;   receive an unlocking request,   wherein the unlocking request includes a bicycle ID; and   control the locking mechanism to unlock the bicycle, upon receiving an unlocking instruction based on the unlocking request,   wherein an alarm message is generated when the bicycle ID of the locking request or the unlocking request does not match the bicycle ID of the bicycle.   
     
     
         30 . The bicycle of  claim 29 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 send the locking request to a remote management server via a long-distance communication link;   receive a locking instruction from the remote management server via the long-distance communication link; and   lock the lock based on the locking instruction.   
     
     
         31 . The bicycle of  claim 29 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 send the unlocking request to a remote management server via a long-distance communication link;   receive an unlocking instruction from the remote management server via a long-distance communication link; and   unlock the lock based on the unlocking instruction.
