PREDICTION OF FREE PARKING SPACES IN A PARKING AREA
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for management of parking spaces in a parking area carried out by one or more processors, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying an individual entering a parking area and a vehicle in the parking area that corresponds to the identified individual;
determining a distance between the identified individual and the identified vehicle in the parking area;
determining whether the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle; and
responsive to determining that the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle, determining whether the determined distance is less than an associated distance threshold condition.

9. A computer program product for management of parking spaces in a parking area, including one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage media, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out the acts of:
-
identifying an individual entering a parking area and a vehicle in the parking area that corresponds to the identified individual; determining a distance between the identified individual and the identified vehicle in the parking area; determining whether the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle; and responsive to determining that the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle, determining whether the determined distance is less than an associated distance threshold condition. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
