A management system for a Permitting Authorities (PA) or their appointed designee to monitor and track application-based commercial ground transportation (ABCT) Providers activities within electronically-enabled geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs, all without the need for specialized hardware such as transponders or other tracking equipment. ABCT Providers transmit location and/or transaction information for ABCT Vehicles within geo-fenced areas associated with the PAs to a clearinghouse. The clearinghouse transmits the location and/or transaction information to a clearinghouse. The clearinghouse transmits the received information to the corresponding PAs in near real-time and periodically creates invoices for each PA based on the activities taken place within the respective goes-fenced areas.

A method, using a mobile device, of initiating the processing of a transaction for a parking session between a parking system and a payment provider on behalf of a user, the method comprising storing a user identifier in memory on the mobile device, receiving a parking identifier and transmitting the user identifier and the parking identifier to a network server.

A system for providing ticket based authorized entry of a mobile access device includes a memory, a transceiver and a control module. The memory stores an access code of a ticket of an event to be accessed by the mobile access device. The mobile access device also stores the access code. The control module: determines an amount of time since the ticket was purchased or an amount of time since the access code of the ticket was last updated; and updates the access code stored in the memory and signals the mobile access device via the transceiver to update the access code stored at the mobile access device in response to the amount of time since the ticket was purchased exceeding a first predetermined amount of time or the amount of time since the access code of the ticket was last updated exceeding a second predetermined amount of time.

A system, mobile device, backend server, and RFID toll module work in cooperation to automatically pay vehicular tolls to a toll agency that operates toll stations along a roadways travelled by the user of the mobile device. Upon approaching a toll station the mobile device enables the RFID toll module. The toll reader at the toll station transmits a toll reader signal that is received by the RFID toll module, which responds by transmitting a unique identifier. The unique identifier is associated with the mobile device at a toll account maintained by a toll service backend server. Upon completion of a toll transaction, the RFID toll module indicates the transaction to the mobile device, which forwards toll transaction information to the toll service backend server for payment from the toll account to the toll agency.

A first request for a transfer of data is transmitted in response to the use of a user device; it is determined that the first request for the transfer of data has been declined; an event is detected that indicates that the transfer of data in response to the use of the user device can be accepted; and a second request for the transfer of data is transmitted in dependence on detecting that the event has occurred.

This invention discloses a novel system and method for distributing electronic ticketing such that the ticket is verified at the entrance to venues by means of an animation or other human perceptible verifying visual object that is selected by the venue for the specific event. Tins removes the need to use a bar-code scanner on an LCD display of a cell phone or other device and speeds up the rate at which human ticket takers can verify ticket holders.

An intelligent parking management system for residential communities is disclosed that includes a license plate reader; and a server communicatively coupled to the license plate reader over a network. The server includes a memory storing a parking policy and registered license places for one or more residential communities registered with the at least one server; and at least one processor. The processor is operably configured to receive a license plate number, over the network, from the license plate reader; compare the license plate number to a plurality of registered license plate numbers stored in the memory; and communicate, over the network, a parking violation message as a result of determining that the license plate number does not match any one of the plurality of registered license plate numbers to a user such as a resident, a towing company, or administrator.

The present disclosure relates to a charging pile control system which comprises at least one video monitoring device configured to collect images or video data in a monitoring scope, parse the collected images or video data, and transmit the parsed images or video data to a multi-functional charging pile, the monitoring scope covering at least one parking space and its surrounding area; and a multi-functional charging pile configured to receive the images or video data transmitted by the at least one video monitoring device, analyze according to the images or video data to obtain a position of an electric vehicle entering the monitoring scope relative to an idle parking space among the at least one parking space, and controls the electric vehicle to implement automatic parking. The present disclosure further relates to relevant multi-functional charging pile and electric vehicle.
