Abstract

A place management method and a place management system are provided. The place management method includes the following steps: generating a first identification code according to an entering request, and transmitting the first identification code to a client; determining whether the first identification code from the client is read by an identification module; generating an entering authorization message corresponding to an object and recording a corresponding first time when the first identification code is read by the identification module; receiving a leaving message, and generating a second identification code according to the first time and a second time corresponding to the leaving message, and sending the second identification code to the client; and generating a leaving authorization message corresponding to the object when the second identification code is read by the identification module.

Claims

1. A place management method, comprising:

generating a first identification code according to an entering request and transmitting the first identification code to a client;

determining whether the first identification code from the client is read by an identification module;

generating an entering authorization message of a place corresponding to an object and recording a first time corresponding to the entering authorization message when the first identification code is read by the identification module;

receiving a leaving message and generating a second identification code according to the first time and a second time corresponding to the leaving message and transmitting the second identification code to the client; and

generating a leaving authorization message of the place corresponding to the object when the second identification code is read by the identification module.

2. The place management method according to claim 1, wherein after the step of generating the entering authorization message of the place corresponding to the object and recording the first time corresponding to the entering authorization message when the first identification code is read by the identification module further comprises:

reading position information of the object in the place;

capturing an image of the object according to the position information; and

transmitting the image to the client.

3. The place management method according to claim 1, wherein the second identification code has an effective period.

4. The place management method according to claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a payment message; and

generating the leaving message according to the payment message.

5. The place management method according to claim 4, wherein the effective period of the second identification code is related to a third time of receiving the payment message.

6. The place management method according to claim 1, wherein the first identification code and the second identification code are two-dimensional barcodes, and the identification module is a two-dimensional barcode scanner.

7. A place management system, comprising:

a cloud processing module configured to receive an entering request from a client;

an identification code generating module configured to generate a first identification code according to the entering request, and transmit the first identification code to the client by the cloud processing module; and

a identification module configured to determine whether the first identification code from the client is read, wherein an entering authorization message of a place corresponding to an object is generated when the first identification code is read by the identification module;

wherein the cloud processing module records a first time corresponding to the entering authorization message, the identification code generating module generates a second identification code according to the first time and a second time corresponding to a leaving message when the leaving message is received by the cloud processing module, the second identification code is transmitted to the client by the cloud processing module, and a leaving authorization message of the place corresponding to the object is generated when the second identification code is read by the identification module.

8. The place management system according to claim 7, further comprising:

a plurality of image capturing modules;

wherein the cloud processing module further reads position information of the object in the place and drives at least one of the plurality of image capturing modules to capture an image of the object according to the position information, and the cloud processing module transmits the image to the client.

9. The place management system according to claim 7, wherein the second identification code has an effective period.

10. The place management system according to claim 9, further comprising:

a toll module configured to receive a payment message and generate the leaving message according to the payment message.
