A parking meter includes a housing, processor, memory, network interface, graphical user interface, first camera disposed in the housing and facing outward from the first side of the housing, microphone, speaker, second camera disposed in the housing and facing outward from the housing towards a parking space, a status light, and a payment acceptor. The meter is configured to sense a vehicle's presence in the parking space, capture an identification of the vehicle, transmit the identification to a remote networked computer system, determine that a parking violation has occurred, transmit the notice to the remote computer system, accept payment of fines, transmit notice of fine payment to the remote computer system, transmit a time of the vehicle's exit from the first parking space to the remote computer system via the network interface, and reset the parking time period to zero upon the vehicle's exit from the parking space.

Systems and methods for associating a parking lot parking entry event and a parking lot electric vehicle charging event allow a single payment to be calculated for parking and electric vehicle charging. An admittance identification associated with a parking lot entry event is read using an electric vehicle charging control device of a parking lot. A parking lot charging event is stored with the admittance identification on a storage device of the parking lot using the electric vehicle charging control device. The parking lot entry event and the parking lot charging event associated with the admittance identification are read from the storage device using a payment device of the parking lot. A single payment for parking and electric vehicle charging for the admittance identification is then calculated from the parking lot entry event and the parking lot charging event using the payment device.

A networked system used to implement online transactions and communication between users. The users are account holders at banks located in a plurality of countries. The banks are connected to a computing system that instructs the banks to freeze funds during a quote and book process. After delivery of products and services, the payments the funds are released, thus payment is guaranteed. The networked system retains all records from quote process to payment for every transaction. Individuals have a single account. Company accounts are divided into different sub-users according to the employee's responsibilities and these users can only expend what has been allocated by the Finance sub-user of that company. The Government account is divided into different Ministries connected to the Main Treasury account and Ministries can only expend allocated from the Main Treasury account. Individuals and companies can request services from the Government Ministries on the same networked system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving identification information of a vehicle and identification information of a parking space to bind the vehicle with the parking space and generate binding information, receiving a time when the vehicle enters the parking space and a time when the vehicle exits the parking space, calculating a parking fee of the vehicle according to the time when the vehicle enters the parking space and the time when the vehicle exits the parking space, determining identification information of a shopping cart that corresponds to the vehicle according to the identification information of the vehicle, the binding information of the vehicle and the parking space, and a correspondence between the parking space and the shopping cart, and sending the parking fee of the vehicle to the shopping cart that corresponds to the identification information of the shopping cart.

GPS correction method comprising providing benchmark GPS devices located respectively at a priori known stationary benchmark points within respective geographical zones, the stationary benchmark points having corresponding benchmark GPS coordinates; providing a benchmark database storing data mapping the GPS devices to the benchmark GPS coordinates of their respective stationary benchmark points and their respective geographical zones; receiving first GPS coordinates associated to objects within the geographical zones and second GPS coordinates associated to the stationary benchmark points measured at a same time period, the first GPS coordinates being transmitted by the benchmark GPS devices and the second GPS coordinates being transmitted by GPS devices associated to the objects; and generating corrected GPS coordinates of the object by measuring a deviation between the benchmark GPS coordinates and the second GPS coordinates and using the deviation for correcting the first GPS coordinates. There is also provided a GPS correction system.

Disclosed are parking pay stations, media display caps for parking pay stations, parking pay station advertising platforms including a housing, wherein at least one side of the housing comprises at least one transparent window and at least one media display screen visible through the window, wherein the media display screen is configured to display media to parking users and others, including pedestrians. Also disclosed are methods of retrofitting existing parking pay stations to upgrade them to include media display capability.

A car sharing management device includes a communication device and an information processing device. The communication device is configured to acquire, from an information terminal owned by a user of a car sharing service, commercial facility information acquired by the information terminal at a commercial facility. The information processing device is configured to determine, based on the commercial facility information, whether the user uses the commercial facility while using the car sharing service. The information processing device is configured to provide the user with a reward in a case where the user uses the commercial facility while using the car sharing service.

One or more implementations of the present specification provide a parking charging method, apparatus, and electronic device, applied to a parking charging system. The method includes the following: obtaining vehicle information of a parked vehicle in a parking space, where the vehicle information has a corresponding user account on a payment platform; publishing a vehicle parking record to a blockchain network by using a first blockchain node corresponding to the parking charging system in the blockchain network, where the vehicle parking record includes parking duration of the parked vehicle in the parking space; and performing an asset transfer operation related to the payment platform based on the vehicle parking record each time the parking duration reaches first predetermined duration, so as to charge an asset corresponding to the first predetermined duration.
