SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A RESERVATION FOR A VEHICLE PARKING LOCATION
First Claim
1. A method programmed for execution in a computing environment for managing a parking reservation of a vehicle parking location using an administrative computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving an available vehicle parking listing from a host computing device over a network, the available vehicle parking listing including a vehicle parking location;
storing the available vehicle parking listing in a memory of the administrative computing device;
allowing a guest computing device to view the available vehicle parking listing on a display of the guest computing device;
receiving a parking reservation request from the guest computing device over the network, wherein the parking reservation request is associated with the available vehicle parking listing, and wherein the parking reservation request includes a reservation start time and a reservation end time;
establishing a parking reservation in response to the parking reservation request;
terminating the parking reservation upon expiration of the reservation end time; and
verifying that the vehicle parking location is vacant after expiration of the reservation end time by determining that a geographic location of the guest computing device is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance from the vehicle parking location and determining that a speed of the guest computing device is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed.

17. A vehicle parking reservation system for managing a parking reservation of a vehicle parking location, the system comprising:
-
an administrative computing device including a memory and a processor, wherein the administrative computing device is in communication with a host computing device and a guest computing device over a network; and a reservation management module stored in the memory, wherein the reservation management module includes computer instructions that are executable by the processor, wherein the reservation management module is configured to; a) receive an available vehicle parking listing from the host computing device over the network, wherein the available vehicle parking listing including a vehicle parking location; b) store the available vehicle parking listing in the memory; c) allow the guest computing device to view the available vehicle parking listing on a display of the guest computing device; d) receive a parking reservation request from the guest computing device over the network, wherein the parking reservation request is associated with the available vehicle parking listing, and wherein the parking reservation request includes a reservation start time and a reservation end time; e) establish a parking reservation in response to the parking reservation request; f) terminate the parking reservation upon expiration of the reservation end time; and g) verify that the parking location is vacant after expiration of the reservation end time by determining that a geographic location of the guest computing device is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance from the vehicle parking location and determining that a speed of the guest computing device is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
