17. A parking facility management system, comprising:
-
a server; and a parking management apparatus configured to detect whether a vehicle is passing through an entrance or an exit of a parking facility and perform corresponding operations based on a detection result, wherein the parking management apparatus includes; a motion detection module configured to detect whether the vehicle is entering into the entrance of the parking facility, and inform a wireless module and a lighting module when it is detected that a vehicle is entering into the entrance of the parking facility; a parking guidance module configured to obtain a map of the parking facility from the server through the wireless module, wherein the occupancy information of each parking space is marked on the map, and the occupancy information of the parking space is one of occupied or free; the wireless module configured to, when the vehicle enters into the entrance of the parking facility, send the map including occupancy information of each parking space of the parking facility to a user device associate with the vehicle; and the lighting module configured to, when the vehicle passes through an entrance or an exit of the parking facility, adjust a brightness level of light. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
