VEHICLE PARKING SYSTEM, AND METHOD AND DEVICE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A vehicular parking system, comprising:
- a parking server comprising;
(a) a wireless communication transceiver to receive a first wireless communication signal, indicating that a user of a vehicle that is associated with a smartphone has commenced a paid parking session,(b) a parking session commencement unit that, in response to said first wireless communication signal, updates a parking record in said vehicular parking system, to indicate that said vehicle is associated with said paid parking session;
(c) wherein said wireless communication transceiver, subsequently, is to receive a second wireless communication signal, indicating that said smartphone has autonomously determined to end said paid parking session, based on an autonomous analysis of said smartphone and not based on a manual user-command to end the paid parking session;
(d) a parking session termination unit that, in response to said second wireless communication signal, updates said parking record in said vehicular parking system, to indicate that said vehicle is no longer associated with any paid parking session.

Abstract
A vehicular parking system includes a parking server, which includes: (a) a wireless transceiver to receive a first wireless signal, indicating that a user of a vehicle that is associated with a smartphone has commenced a paid parking session; (b) a parking session commencement unit that, in response to the first wireless signal, updates a parking record in the vehicular parking system, to indicate that the vehicle is associated with the paid parking session. The wireless transceiver, subsequently, receives a second wireless signal, indicating that the smartphone has autonomously determined to end the paid parking session, based on an autonomous analysis of the smartphone. A parking session termination unit of the server, in response to the second wireless signal, updates the parking record to indicate that the vehicle is no longer associated with any paid parking session.

14. A method comprising:
-
(a) at a vehicular parking server, receiving a first wireless communication signal, indicating that a user of a vehicle that is associated with a smartphone has commenced a paid parking session, (b) at a parking session commencement unit of said vehicular parking server, in response to said first wireless communication signal, updating a parking record in said vehicular parking system, to indicate that said vehicle is associated with said paid parking session; (c) at said vehicular parking server, subsequently, receiving a second wireless communication signal, indicating that said smartphone has autonomously determined to end said paid parking session, based on an autonomous analysis of said smartphone and not based on a manual user-command to end the paid parking session; (d) at a parking session termination unit of said vehicular parking server, in response to said second wireless communication signal, updating said parking record in said vehicular parking system, to indicate that said vehicle is no longer associated with any paid parking session; wherein said second wireless signal is received based on an autonomous determination of said smartphone that is based at least on identification of Bluetooth pairing between;
(i) a Bluetooth transceiver of said smartphone, and (ii) a Bluetooth transceiver of said vehicle;wherein said method is executable by a vehicular parking system which comprises at least a hardware processor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
