Distributed computing parking assist system

A parking assist method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, a vehicle real-time geolocation and a travel route destination location from a transceiver;
• transmitting, by the processor, a first command signal to a first user interface to display a navigation map responsive to obtaining the vehicle real-time geolocation and the travel route destination location;
• determining, by the processor, whether a distance between the vehicle real-time geolocation and the travel route destination location is less than a predefined threshold;
• obtaining, by the processor, parking information from a memory based on a determination that the distance is less than the predefined threshold, wherein the memory is configured to store the parking information comprising parking spot locations in a geographical area in proximity to the travel route destination location, and an occupancy status of each parking spot;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor, a second command signal to the first user interface to switch display from the navigation map to a parking location map responsive to obtaining the parking information, wherein the parking location map comprises the occupancy status.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in a distributed computing system, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain a vehicle real-time geolocation and a travel route destination location from a transceiver;
• transmit a first command signal to a first user interface to display a navigation map responsive to obtaining the vehicle real-time geolocation and the travel route destination location;
• determine whether a distance between the vehicle real-time geolocation and the travel route destination location is less than a predefined threshold;
• obtain parking information from a memory based on a determination that the distance is less than the predefined threshold, wherein the memory is configured to store the parking information comprising parking spot locations in a geographical area in proximity to the travel route destination location, and an occupancy status of each parking spot;
• and
• transmit a second command signal to the first user interface to switch display from the navigation map to a parking location map responsive to obtaining the parking information, wherein the parking location map comprises the occupancy status.
