Abstract
A parking system includes an internet-accessible Web server storing substantially real-time parking data associated with occupancy of a plurality of parking spaces. The parking data can be rendered by a display device running a browser application. The Web server transmits the parking data in response to a request sent from the browser application. The Web server communicates with at least one of a detector and a parking terminal configured to collect and transmit parking data.
Claims48
A parking system comprising:
- an Internet-accessible Web server storing substantially real-time parking data associated with occupancy of a plurality of parking spaces, said parking data capable of being tendered by a display device running a browser application, said Web server transmitting said parking data in response to a request sent from said browser application,
- wherein said Web server communicates with at least one of a detector and a parking terminal configured to collect and transmit parking data.
A parking system comprising:
- plurality of parking terminals, each of said plurality of parking terminals being associated with a plurality of parking spaces, said plurality of parking terminals being configured to transmit substantially real-time parking data associated with said plurality of parking spaces to an Internet-accessible Web server, said Web server configured to transmit said parking data to a display device running a browser application in response to a request sent from said browser application.
A method comprising:
- transmitting a request from a browser application running on a display device to an Internet-accessible Web server, said Web server storing substantially real-time parking data associated with occupancy of a plurality of parking spaces;
- accessing said Web server
- receiving said substantially real-time parking data from said Web server;
- and
- rendering said parking data on said display device with said browser application,
- wherein said Web server communicates with at least one of a detector and a parking terminal configured to collect and transmit parking data.
3 more elements
A parking system comprising:
- a plurality of detectors configured to collect substantially real-time parking occupancy data corresponding to a plurality of parking spaces at a parking lot, each of said plurality of detectors including a communications device for transmitting said substantially real-time parking occupancy data to an Internet-accessible Web server, said Web server configured to transmit said substantially real-time parking occupancy data to a display device running a browser application in response to a request sent from said browser application.
A method comprising:
- establishing an Internet connection having at least one wireless pathway;
- and
- receiving substantially real-time parking data through the at least one wireless pathway, said substantially real-time parking data associated with occupancy of one or more parking spaces.
A method comprising:
- establishing an Internet connection having at least one wireless pathway;
- and
- transmitting substantially real-time parking data through the at least one wireless pathway, said substantially-real time parking data associated with occupancy of one or more parking spaces.
A parking system comprising:
- a wireless communications device capable of receiving substantially real-time parking data from an Internet-accessible Web server through at least one wireless pathway, wherein
- said Web server stores substantially real-time parking data associated with a plurality of parking spaces, and
- said Web server communicates with at least one of a detector and a parking terminal configured to collect and transmit parking data.
A parking system comprising:
- a wireless communications device capable of transmitting substantially real-time parking data to an Internet-accessible Web server through at least one wireless pathway, wherein
- said Web server stores substantially real-time parking data associated with a plurality of parking spaces, and
- said wireless communications device comprises at least one of a detector and a parking terminal configured to collect and transmit parking data.
