Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for parking a vehicle on a parking spot, the apparatus comprising:
a base member;
a movable member including a support frame, a first support leg extending from the support frame, and a second support leg extending from the support frame;
a first hinge and a second hinge secured to the base member and pivotably engaged with the first support leg and the second support leg, respectively, to allow the movable member to rotate relative to the base member;
a driving mechanism, including
an electric actuator including a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first arm of the electronic actuator is pivotably attached to the base member and the second arm is retractably connected to the first arm;
a support plate secured to the base member;
a rotation lever having an actuator end and a push rod end, the rotation lever being pivotably connected to the support plate between the actuator end and the push rod end, pivotably connected to the second arm of the electric actuator at the actuator end;
a push rod pivotably connected to the push rod end of the rotation lever at a first end of the push rod and pivotably connected to the first support leg at a second end of the push rod;

an information reader configured to read user information from a user device; and
a control unit communicatively connected to the electric actuator of the driving mechanism, the information reader, and a server that stores usage information in relation to usage of the parking spot, the control unit being configured to
receive the user information from the information reader;
receive the usage information from the server; and
if the user information matches the usage information, send a first instruction to the electric actuator of the driving mechanism to cause the second arm of the electric actuator to rotate the rotation lever, generating a force to the push rod to move the first support leg in order to drive the movable member to a first position where the movable member allows the vehicle to park on the parking spot.
