Abstract
The present invention provides for a feature-rich parking system and implements a low-cost, low-technology presence at the parking location. In an embodiment, a parking pole is placed adjacent to a parking space where the parking pole includes a code, including a bar code, QR code, or NFC label that is designed to be identified and processed by a mobile communication device such as a cell phone or smart phone. The processed information can then be wirelessly communicated by the mobile communication device to a remotely situated server that can process a payment for the use of the desired parking space.
