Location based systems for entry and exit

A system for location-based entry and exit into at least one parking facility, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• enter, into a remote processing center, geographic information and a parking rate structure of at least one parking facility with at least one moveable physical barrier connected with hardware connected with software in communication with the remote processing center, and registered readable code wherein the registered readable code is displayed within scanning distance of a vehicle in front of the barrier,
• wherein upon entry of the geographic information and the parking rate structure of a parking facility, the remote processing center recognizes the parking facility and connected software as a specific registered parking facility;
• at least one mobile internet-connected device with an application and a scanner, wherein the application enables communication between the mobile device and remote processing center, transmitting information, instructions and signals between the device and processing center;
• the one or more processors configured to enter, into the remote processing center, end user information comprising at least one end user payment option and identifying information for at least one vehicle;
• the remote processing center configured to associate a specific mobile device with a specific end user, payment option and vehicle;
• the one or more processors configured to transmit, from an associated mobile device via the internet to the remote processing center, information comprising a current geographic location of the mobile device;
• the remote processing center configured to analyze to determine correspondence between the current geographic information transmitted from the associated mobile device and the geographic information of a specific registered parking facility, and when finding correspondence;
• the one or more processors configured to transmit instructions from the processing center to the associated mobile device to activate the scanner on the associated mobile device;
• the activated scanner configured to scan the registered readable code displayed within scanning distance of the barrier;
• the one or more processors configured to:
• transmit, from the associated mobile device to the remote processing center, the scanned code;
• transmit instructions, from the processing center to the connected software and hardware at the specific registered parking facility, to open the barrier,
• wherein the associated mobile device and vehicle enter the parking facility, the barrier closes and a parking session begins at a beginning time;
• the remote processing center configured to associate the parking session beginning time, vehicle information, end user information and specific mobile device, thereby comprising an open unique parking session record;
• the one or more processors configured to, when the parking session ends, transmit, from the associated mobile device to the remote processing center via the internet, a request to exit the parking facility;
• the remote processing center configured to analyze the request to exit and when analysis by the remote processing center finds an open unique parking session record associated with the mobile device, transmitting the request to exit;
• the one or more processors configured to transmit, from the remote processing center to the connected software and hardware, instructions to open the barrier, wherein the associated mobile device and vehicle exit the parking facility, the barrier closes, and the parking session ends at an ending time;
• the remote processing center configured to:
• record the ending time, and closing the unique parking session record;
• calculate an end user payment based on the parking facility rate structure, and the unique parking session record;
• and
• the one or more processors configured to charge the end user's payment option the calculated fee.
