Method and system for identifying a parking space
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of identifying a parking space, comprising:
- displaying, by a processor, at least one authorized location in a drop-down list or a menu via a computer application;
selecting, by a processor, the at least one authorized location from the computer application and requesting the parking space, wherein an arriving user selects the at least one authorized location from the computer application;
receiving, by a processor, other authorized locations input into the computer application by the arriving user, wherein the other authorized locations are not predetermined;
matching, by a processor, an arrival time with an exit time, wherein the arriving user selects the arrival time and an exiting user selects the exit time;
notifying, by a processor, the arriving user and the exiting user of a match between the arrival time and the exit time;
displaying, by a processor, a trade identification to at least one of the arriving user and the exiting user, wherein the trade identification includes information identifying at least one of an arriving vehicle and an exiting vehicle; and
completing a trade, by a processor, wherein the exiting user removes the exiting vehicle from the parking space and the arriving user moves the arriving vehicle into the parking space.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer-implemented process, and a system for identifying a parking space may provide a computer application to allow communication between an arriving user and exiting user. An arrival time that may correspond to the arriving user and exit time that may correspond to the exiting user may be matched to identify a parking space in an authorized location common to the arriving user and the exiting user. The arriving user may be provided a trade identification that may include information that may describe an exiting vehicle. The exiting user may remove the exiting vehicle from the parking space, and an arriving user may park an arriving vehicle in the parking space.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium to execute a computer-implemented process for identifying a parking space, the computer-implemented process that, when executed on a processor, comprises:
-
displaying, by a processor, at least one authorized location in a computer application; selecting, by a processor, the at least one authorized location from the computer application and requesting the parking space, wherein an arriving user selects the at least one authorized location from the computer application; receiving, by a processor, other authorized locations input into the computer application by the arriving user, wherein the other authorized locations are not predetermined; matching, by a processor, an arrival time with an exit time, wherein the arriving user selects the arrival time and an exiting user selects the exit time; determining, by a processor, whether the exit time is greater than a first predetermined time period prior to the arrival time; determining, by a processor, whether the exit time is within a second predetermined time period of the arrival time; and determining, by a processor, whether the arriving user and the exiting user are within overlapping authorized locations; notifying, by a processor, the arriving user and the exiting user of a match between the arrival time and the exit time; displaying, by a processor, a trade identification to at least one of the arriving user and the exiting user, wherein the trade identification includes information identifying at least one of an arriving vehicle and an exiting vehicle; and completing a trade, by a processor, wherein the exiting user removes the exiting vehicle from the parking space and the arriving user moves the arriving vehicle into the parking space. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for identifying a parking space provided on a mobile device, the system comprising:
-
a communications module provided to receive a selection of an authorized location and a request for the parking space made by an arriving user, wherein the communications module is provided to display the authorized location on the mobile device, wherein other authorized locations are input into the communications module by the arriving user, and wherein the other authorized locations are not predetermined; a calculation module provided to match an arrival time with an exit time, wherein the arriving user selects the arrival time and an exiting user selects the exit time, wherein the communications module is provided to notify the arriving user and the exiting user of a matching arrival time and exit time, and to provide at least one of the arriving user and the exiting user with a trade identification, wherein the trade identification includes information identifying at least one of an arriving vehicle and an exiting vehicle; and a sensor module provided to detect at least one of the following; when the exiting user removes the exiting vehicle from the parking space and when the arriving user moves the arriving vehicle into the parking space, and wherein the sensor module is provided to complete a trade. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
