Parking information sensing device and providing method thereof
First Claim
1. A parking information sensing device for judging whether there is a car on a parking space comprising:
- a light emitting unit that emits a light passes the parking space;
a reflecting element for reflecting the light arranged on the parking space and located on a path of the light;
an light sensing unit located on a path of the light reflected by the reflecting element and receiving the reflected light reflected by the reflecting element so as to generate a first sensing signal; and
a driving control circuit coupled to the light emitting unit as well as the light sensing unit and driving the light emitting unit to emit the light;
the driving control circuit receiving the first sensing signal to judge there is no car on the parking space;
wherein light emitted from the light emitting unit, reflected by the reflecting element and received by the light sensing unit within a circle area π
r2 whose radius is length of the wire harness of the light-gathering member is collected and the light-gathering member is a parabolic surface that concentrates and receives the light reflected by the reflecting element.

Abstract
A parking information sensing device is disclosed. Each parking space in a parking lot is disposed with a parking information sensing device, detecting whether a car on the parking space. By means of a driving control circuit, the sensing device drives a light emitting unit to emit a light and a reflecting element of the parking space is on a pathway of the light. Light is reflected by the reflecting element and then passes light sensing unit that detects the reflected light and generates a first sensing signal sent to the driving control circuit. Thus the driving control circuit judges if there is no vehicle on the parking space. On the other hand, it judges if there is a car on the parking space according to another sensing signal. The sensing device further includes a first transmitting/receiving unit that forms a wireless mesh network among parking information sensing devices.
