A mobile terminal that can be utilized for a checkpoint management system performs contactless electric communication with a reader/writer device for a passive RFID tag. An application processing unit cooperates with an application server through electronic communication. A position information acquisition unit acquires current position information of the mobile terminal. A terminal controller or a RFID tag processing unit receives a signal related to a carrier wave or a command emitted from the reader/writer device which results in a trigger that causes the application processing unit to operate. The application processing unit acquires from the mobile terminal personal information and chronologic information. The application processing unit further transmits the information to the application server together with current position information. Information transmitted from the mobile terminal can be utilized as history information on the checkpoint from, through or at which the user departs, passes or arrives.

Proposed is a parking terminal (1), which encompasses a module (2), which integrates at least one component for operation of the parking terminal (1) and/or interaction between the parking terminal (1) and a vehicle passenger of a vehicle standing at the parking terminal (1) which, upon detection of a vehicle standing at the parking terminal (1), is reversibly moved out of the parking terminal (1) by a driving means for a prescribed distance in the direction of the standing vehicle.

A secure short-distance-based communication and enforcement system validates users in a validation and enforcement area and can check if users in the validation and enforcement area have been validated. A flow of visual objects may be programmed into an enforcement computer, and used for the validations.

When a human driver picks up a passenger, the driver typically looks at the passenger to determine if the passenger is the individual who is supposed to receive a ride. Self-driving vehicles often do not have a human in the vehicle to make this decision. Several systems and methods described herein enable self-driving vehicles to know if they are picking up the correct person.

A computer-implemented method leverages the capabilities present in common mobile communications devices—RF transceivers, Internet connectivity, payment system, geolocation system, notification system, and user interface—to simplify and reduce overhead from the parking experience. Furthermore, this method utilizes distributed authentication and authorization and multi-path queued message delivery to provide this experience when cellular or WiFi Internet connectivity is absent in the parking facility, simplifying and reducing the cost of deployment.

In one aspect, a process for automatic billing of transportation services includes the step of generating a first travel vector for a traveler. The process includes the step of generating, a second travel vector for a travel provider. The process includes the step of determining that the traveler's location and movement is synchronized with a travel-service provider within a specified distance threshold. The process includes the step of comparing first travel vector with second travel vector. The process includes the step of determining that the first vector and the second vector are within the specified distance threshold. The process includes the step of measuring the time period that the first vector and the second vector are within the specified distance threshold. The process includes the step of billing the traveler for the time period that the first vector and the second vector are within the specified distance threshold.

The present invention provides a method for allocating ticket inventory on a buyer's side. The method includes steps of, loading, the webpage, providing a map, checking compatibility of map, initializing plug-in, and mapping seats. Further, the map is represented with respective tickets with location, quantity and amount on the webpage. Moreover, the ticket list with triggering onInit is generated on the webpage or an existing external tabular ticket list is controlled by the plugin thereby loading the map completely with corresponding ticket inventory matching respective portions on map simultaneously while loading the webpage on the buyer's device thereby enabling the buyer to select desired seating section.
