Abstract
This document describes systems and techniques that may be used to aggregate information about open parking spots from various different parking providers or organizations.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, first data that indicates a status of a first collection of parking locations that are managed by a first organization, wherein the first data was provided by a first computer system;
- receiving, by the computer system, second data that indicates a status of a second collection of parking locations that are managed by a second organization, wherein the second data was provided by a second computer system that is different from the first computer system;
- aggregating, by the computer system, the first data that indicates the status of the first collection of parking locations with the second data that indicates the status of the second collection of parking locations;
- receiving, by the computer system and from a remote computing device, a request for the computer system to generate information that indicates parking conditions that are relevant to a particular geographic location;
- generating, by the computer system and through use of the aggregated information, the information that indicates the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location;
- and
- providing, by the computer system, the information that indicates the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location for receipt by the remote computing device, so as to cause the remote computing device to generate a user interface that displays one or more indications of the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location.

A computerized system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable devices including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of operations that comprise:
- receiving, by a computer system, first data that indicates a status of a first collection of parking locations that are managed by a first organization, wherein the first data was provided by a first computer system;
- receiving, by the computer system, second data that indicates a status of a second collection of parking locations that are managed by a second organization, wherein the second data was provided by a second computer system that is different from the first computer system;
- aggregating, by the computer system, the first data that indicates the status of the first collection of parking locations with the second data that indicates the status of the second collection of parking locations;
- receiving, by the computer system and from a remote computing device, a request for the computer system to generate information that indicates parking conditions that are relevant to a particular geographic location;
- generating, by the computer system and through use of the aggregated information, the information that indicates the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location;
- and
- providing, by the computer system, the information that indicates the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location for receipt by the remote computing device, so as to cause the remote computing device to generate a user interface that displays one or more indications of the parking conditions that are relevant to the particular geographic location.
