Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for entering and exiting a parking facility, comprising: receiving a first barcode with a timing parameter at a mobile device, the timing parameter indicating an entry time into a control-exit parking facility, and the first barcode being generated by a machine at a point of entry to the control-exit parking facility; storing a file having the first barcode on a storage medium; upon a request from the mobile device, accessing the file for payment processing by calculating a value as determined by a difference between the entry time and an exit time; generating a second barcode upon successful payment processing and sending the second barcode to the mobile device; transmitting the second barcode from the mobile device to a machine at a point of exit from the control-exit parking facility prior to exiting the control-exit parking facility; and upon receipt of the second bar code from the mobile device at the machine at the point of exit from the control-exit parking facility, determining if a vehicle associated with a user of the mobile device can exit the control-exit parking facility.
