Method and system for avoidance of parking violations
First Claim
1. An electronic parking violation identification system for identifying a potential parking violation for a location, the system comprising:
- a plurality of remote computing devices communicatively coupled to a network; and
a server communicatively coupled to the network for communicating with the remote computing devices, the server including at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with computer-readable instructions stored therein, a database, and a processor for executing the computer-readable instructions to;
receive user data associated with a user from one of the plurality of remote computing devices, the user data comprising an identified location, an identified time, and a user type;
display on one or more display screens of the plurality of remote computing devices one or more user engagement panels for enabling one or more additional users to provide one or more ratings with respect to at least a portion of parking violation related data associated with at least the identified location, wherein the parking violation related data comprises at least one of location data associated with one or more parking violations, time data associated with one or more times of the one or more parking violations, one or more reasons for one or more parking violation citations occurring at the identified location, or one or more recommendations for avoiding the one or more parking violation citations at the identified location, wherein the one or more additional users have firsthand experience with the identified location, and wherein the firsthand experience is determined based on (i) a first notification, received by the one or more additional users, that is associated with the identified location, or (ii) the one or more additional users having come within a predetermined proximity of the identified location;
in response to the one or more ratings reaching a predetermined number, modify the database to include at least a portion of the parking violation related data rated via the one or more user engagement panels; and
generate a second notification including at least the parking violation related data corresponding to the identified location, the identified time, and the user type, wherein the second notification identifies a potential parking violation applicable to the user by inference.

Abstract
A system and method for identifying a potential parking violation for a location includes storing and rating parking violation related data, and notifying a user, by a computing system communicating with a user'"'"'s computing device, of the potential parking violation and how to avoid receiving the potential parking violation citation. The data is stored in a database and clustered by data types. The user'"'"'s computing device is used to identify user type, location, and time. A user engagement panel is used to share and rate parking violation related data and notifications, and rewards are allocated to a user for contributing useful data. Highly rated data may be incorporated into the notifications. The data is analyzed to predict or infer a violation. A notification corresponding to a current location and user type are generated when violations are predicted.
