Curbside management system for connected and autonomous vehicles
A curbside management system and method for managing curbside use by connected and/or autonomous vehicles that includes one or more computing devices that execute instructions. One or more processors integrate at least a navigation component, an asset verification component, and a curbside management component, configured to generate recommended curbside access destinations for a vehicle associated with the customer and one of which is selected as the final curbside destination for the vehicle.
Smart street parking meter, smart street parking management system, and smart street parking fee payment method
A smart street parking management system includes a smart street parking meter a smart cloud parking management server connected to the smart street parking meter through a wireless networking technology and configured to regularly receive parking information of a vehicle parked on a smart street parking grid and status information of the smart street parking meter uploaded by the smart street parking meter. The status information of the smart street parking meter includes an empty-space status of the street parking grid detected by the smart street parking meter and a battery status of a rechargeable battery of the smart street parking meter. The parking information of the vehicle includes the plate number of the vehicle, the parking fee of the vehicle, and a payment status of the parking fee of the vehicle.
Methods and apparatus for dynamic application deeplinking at a mobile electronic device
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an interaction identifier by a processor and in response to an input entered by a user at a first user interface of a mobile device. The input is associated with a frame within a page displayed at the first user interface. The method further includes receiving interaction information and application deeplinking purchase information associated with the purchase identifier and determining a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a second user interface at the mobile device. The second user interface is different from the first user interface. The method includes sending a signal, based on the URI, to cause the second user interface to be rendered at the mobile device with the interaction information pre-populated to complete an interaction requested by the user.
STOCK REWARDS IN CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS
A method that includes receiving a string from a remote station, the string associated with an interaction event between a user and the remote station, is provided. The method includes verifying that the string includes a content validation for a user account in a network service, mapping at least a portion of the string to a ticker symbol associated with an entry in a database and transmitting, to the user, a message indicating that a fractional value associated with the ticker symbol has been added to the user account in the network service. A system configured to execute the above method is also provided.
Electric vehicle (EV) charge unit reservations
A computer implemented method for managing charge availability of a charge unit (CU) to obtain charge for a battery of an electric vehicle (EV) is provided. The CU includes a computer for processing at least part of the method and for communicating with a server over a network. The method includes receiving, by the server, status information from the computer of the CU. The method includes sending to the computer of the CU instructions to make a reservation for the CU. The reservation is for a user account that has requested a desire to charge the battery of the electric vehicle of the user at the CU or another CU. The method includes sending, by the server, a confirmation for the reservation to the user account. The confirmation is viewable via a device having access to the server via the user account. The method includes sending, by the server, a data regarding a time of availability of the CU to the user account for the reservation. The computer of the CU is configured to display a visual indicator regarding the reservation of the CU.
TRANSACTION PROCESSING APPARATUS, TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A server system of an embodiment for transaction processing includes a virtual point-of-sale server to register data of a customer transaction based on data received from a first terminal operated by the customer in a selling area and a management server. The management server generates a machine-readable code including information for acquiring the transaction data and an electronic settlement method. The management server transmits the machine-readable code to the first terminal upon receiving a checkout instruction. Upon receiving information for acquiring the transaction data from a second terminal, the management server acquires the transaction data from the virtual point-of-sale server, and processes an electronic payment if the information regarding the electronic settlement method is received from the second terminal.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVER CONNECTION USING MULTIPLE NETWORK ADAPTERS
A system and method for managing print services between multifunction peripherals and a print server includes a connector server. The connector server subscribes to event notifications from each multifunction peripheral through two or more network adapters. Events are relayed from the connector server to the print server, irrespective as to which network adapter receives them. The connector server also relays web content between the multifunction peripheral and the print server.
Time and expense tracking system
A computer-implemented method and system that operates on a server includes a time and expense management interface for obtaining crew specific information for crews maintaining a utility distribution system. The server is coupled to a wireless communication infrastructure for receiving crew specific information. A portable electronic device receives a selection of a crew with members. The portable electronic device receives the identifier of the at least one or more members of the crew. Once verified, the portable device receives time entries and expense entries, for the at least one or more members of the crew. Business rules are applied to the time entries and expense entries. Once the business rules are satisfied, the time entries and expense entries are stored on the portable electronic device. When the portable electronic device is in proximity to the wireless communication infrastructure, the crew specific information is transmitted to server.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUBSCRIPTION BASED SOLUTION IMPLEMENTATION
Methods, systems, and devices for providing for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, a subscription based model may be used to manage the managed systems. The subscription based model may provide for automatic configuration of and software deployment to any number of managed systems to provide subscribed to solutions to various users. To manage subscriptions, a highly available management service may be provided to users. The management service may allow users to select desired services. Once selected, the management service may automatically modify various managed systems to provide the subscribed solution.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUBSCRIPTION BASED SOLUTION MANAGEMENT
Methods, systems, and devices for providing for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, a subscription based model may be used to manage the managed systems. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to obtain information regarding capabilities of managed systems to present information regarding all potential solutions that the managed systems may provide. By presenting users with such information, the users may not need to be well versed in the underlying hardware and software components necessary for the solutions to be provided. As the hardware components of a managed system are changed over time, the compatible solutions may be continuously updated so that users may be continuously appraised of possible solutions that may be provided using the managed systems.
