DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description of embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which it is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments which can be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments can be used and structural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
Modern vehicles, especially automobiles, increasingly include connected features that allow the vehicle to communicate with other devices, often over the internet. For example, a smartphone can be used to lock and unlock car doors. Further, modern vehicles are often able to determine location in real time and communicate that location to other devices.
In embodiments of the disclosure, location information can be used to automatically set a parking meter time reminder on a user's mobile device. For example, after determining that the user has parked once a destination has been reached, the user's location can be used to determine if the vehicle has been parked at a parking meter (or other timed parking), and a reminder can be set based on a time limit associated with that parking location. The reminder can display periodic notifications on the user's mobile device until it is detected that the user has returned to the vehicle and/or driven the vehicle away from the parking spot.
Although some embodiments of the disclosure are described in terms of determining a time reminder based on location, embodiments are not so limited and determining the time reminder can be based on any number of factors, including direct communication between the electronic device and a parking meter or other device. Although some embodiments of the disclosure are described in terms of a parking meter time reminder, embodiments are not so limited and may include any number of parking notifications, such as a notification that the vehicle is illegally parked or a notification that a vehicle must be moved for street cleaning.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary system for a location based parking meter time reminder according to embodiments of the disclosure. FIG. 1 includes a vehicle 100 (e.g., an automobile) in communication with a mobile device 102 (e.g., a smartphone belonging to a driver or passenger of the vehicle). In some embodiments, either or both of the vehicle 100 and the mobile device 102 may be in communication with a parking meter 104 (e.g., a parking meter proximate to the vehicle, such as a parking meter associated with a parking space occupied by the vehicle, or a “meter” at a central server that is not proximate to the vehicle).
In some embodiments, once a vehicle 100 arrives at a destination (e.g., with or without guidance from a global positioning system (GPS) navigation system), the vehicle 100 or the mobile device 102 may automatically recognize the location (e.g., street parking, meter parking, parking lot, etc.) based on the GPS location (or other location technology) and digital maps that associate one or more locations with parking time limits corresponding to the locations. The digital maps may be stored locally or remotely and may include parking time limit information associated with the recognized location or region (e.g., a side of a street block, a designated parking space, parking lot of a commercial establishment such as a shopping mall). The parking time limit information can include, for example, a fixed time duration of permitted free parking (e.g., one-hour street parking), non-parking hours (e.g., street cleaning hours), parking meter information (e.g., unit of time increments, maximum time allowed, free hours), and residents parking hours. The parking time limit information can also indicate a parking space without any time/hour restrictions, in which case no notification about the parking time limit may be presented on the electronic device. A timer or time tracker may be initialized on the vehicle 100 or the mobile device 102 based on the parking time limit associated with the recognized location.
The time tracking may begin in response to a determination that the vehicle 100 has been parked (e.g., in response to indication that the vehicle has been locked or that the user has left the vehicle, etc.). In one embodiment, it can determine that the user has left the vehicle if the user's mobile device is determined to be at a different location as the vehicle. The user of the vehicle 100 may be periodically notified of the time remaining until the vehicle must be moved from the parking spot (and/or an elapsed time since the user parked in the spot, especially if no time limit information is available). For example, the user may receive notifications on the mobile device 102 (e.g., graphical notifications, text notifications, SMS messages, etc.). The user may also receive an estimated amount of time that would be required to return to the car from his current location. This estimated amount of time can be determined based on the distance between the location of the car and his current location and his (or an average person's) average foot speed, in the same or similar way that a map application determines an estimated time of travel between two points. This estimated amount of time can be displayed along with the time remaining at the parking space. In another embodiment, the mobile device can set a periodic reminder as soon as it detects that it is moving away from the parked vehicle.
In some embodiments, either or both of the vehicle 100 and the mobile device 102 are in communication with a parking meter 104 associated with a parking space occupied by the vehicle. For example, the parking meter 104 can provide the time limit information to the vehicle 100 and/or the mobile device 102 for time tracking purposes. Further, the vehicle 100 and/or the mobile device 102 can provide payment information to the parking meter 104 (or a central parking server keeping track of parking time of a number of meters) to pay for the parking. Any communication among the vehicle 100, the mobile device 102, and/or the parking meter 104 may be transmitted directly between these devices (e.g., via near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, etc.) or over a network (e.g., a cellular network, the internet, etc.).
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary method of a location based parking meter time reminder according to embodiments of the disclosure.
In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., a vehicle 100, a mobile device 102, etc.) can determine (200) that a vehicle is at its destination. For example, navigation software (local to the electronic device or remotely at another device) can provide an indication that the vehicle is at its destination. Then, the electronic device can determine (202) whether the vehicle is at a paid parking area. For example, the location of the electronic device can be compared to a digital map of paid parking areas to determine whether the vehicle is at a paid parking area. The digital map can be stored locally on the electronic device and updated periodically. If the vehicle is not at a paid parking area, no further action may be taken. If the vehicle is at a paid parking area, a timer may be initialized (204).
In some embodiments, the electronic device may simply determine (206) that the user has parked the vehicle (e.g., without necessarily determining whether a user is at a specific destination). For example, the electronic device may receive an indication (e.g., from the vehicle) that the vehicle has been locked, and determining that the vehicle has been parked may be based on the indication that the vehicle has been locked. Then, the timer may be started (208) if it is determined that the vehicle has been locked by the user.
In some embodiments, determining whether the user has parked the vehicle may be based on any number of factors, including whether the vehicle has been locked, whether the vehicle has been turned off, or based on the location of the vehicle (or another electronic device such as a mobile device or smartphone). For example, if it is determined (e.g., by the vehicle or the electronic device) that the electronic device has left the vehicle and/or the vehicle is in a parking area, it can be determined that the vehicle has been parked. Alternatively or additionally, the vehicle can be determined to have been parked based on the indication that there is no occupant in the vehicle. This can be determined by, for example, pressure sensors in the seats of the vehicle or one or more images captured by cameras inside the vehicle.
In some embodiments, it may be determined that the vehicle has been parked in response to an indication that a user has left the vehicle. For example, pressure sensors in the driver and/or passenger seat may indicate that a user has left the vehicle, or it can be detected that the user's key fob has left the vicinity (e.g., within a predefined distance) of the vehicle. In other embodiments, it may be determined that the vehicle has been parked if the vehicle is in the parking gear. In some embodiments, the vehicle can determine that is has been parked (e.g., in any of the manners described above), and can notify the electronic device as such, or can transmit any of the information above to the electronic device, which can determine that the vehicle has been parked based on the information received from the vehicle.
Although some embodiments describe starting a timer when it has been determined that the user has parked the vehicle, more generally, the electronic device may select a parking notification event (e.g., for presentation on a display of the electronic device) in response to determining that the vehicle has been parked. A parking notification event may include a reminder notification based on a parking time limit, as described above. In some embodiments, the parking notification event may simply include a notification of the elapsed time since parking. In some embodiments, a parking notification event may include a notification that the vehicle was parked illegally if, for example, the location of the electronic device or the vehicle indicates that the vehicle is parked in a no parking zone. In some embodiments, a parking notification event may include a notification that the streets will be cleaned at some set point in the future (e.g., “tomorrow at 10 am” or “Tuesday”) and the vehicle must be moved before then. Each of the possible parking notification events may be selected based on the location of the electronic device and/or comparison of the location to a map that associates regions or locations with parking information (e.g., time limits, meter information, street cleaning information, no parking zones, etc.).
In some embodiments, a parking notification event may include a prompt to pay for parking. The prompt may be displayed on the electronic device, and, in response to user input, payment information (e.g., credit card information, etc.) may be sent to a parking meter to pay for the parking. The payment information can be any existing mechanism of making a payment using an electronic device. The payment information can be sent to a central server (not shown in FIG. 1) in communication with the parking meter. The central server can keep track of payment information associated with a number of parking meters in its database and update the status of each of the parking meters remotely based on the payment information.
In some embodiments, a parking time limit may be determined and the parking notification event may be selected based on the determined parking time limit (e.g., a timer may be set based on the parking time limit). For example, a location of the electronic device or the vehicle may be determined, and the parking time limit may be determined based on the location by comparing the location to a map that associates locations and/or regions with time limits. In some embodiments, the parking time limit may be determined based on a predetermined default time limit (e.g., if no time limit information is available for the current location).
In some embodiments, a meter time limit may be received (e.g., by the vehicle and/or the electronic device) from a nearby parking meter, and the meter time limit may be used as the time limit for the parking notification event. In this way, a parking meter can provide a more precise time remaining, even with live updates, so the user knows exactly when the parking meter will expire. In some embodiments, the corresponding parking location may be determined not based on proximity to a meter, but based on user input, such as text input of a parking space number, or visual input of the number, a barcode, or a QR code, etc. The input may be sent to a “meter” on central server that can identify the vehicle's parking location based on the input, and provide time limit information and/or accept payment information to pay for the parking. In some embodiments, a notification can be generated by the vehicle (e.g., in any of the manners described above), and transmitted by the vehicle to the electronic device for display on the electronic device.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may display, on its display, a user interface object indicating the selected parking notification event. For example, the electronic device may notify (210) the user of the remaining time (or an elapsed time) at predetermined intervals. In some embodiment, the reminder intervals can be configured via user input at the electronic device.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (or the vehicle) may determine the parking time limit has expired. In response to determining the parking time limit has expired, the electronic device can automatically send payment information to the parking meter (e.g., directly, or via the vehicle) to pay for additional parking. In some embodiments, a prompt may be displayed and the authorization to pay for additional parking may only be sent in response to user input paying for the additional parking.
The electronic device may determine (212) when the vehicle is unlocked (e.g., via an indication received from the vehicle), and the timer may be ended accordingly, after which no further notifications may be generated. In some embodiments, other information may be used to determine that the timer should be ended. For example, the timer may be ended in response to the vehicle being driven away.
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary system 700 for a location based parking meter time reminder according to embodiments of the disclosure. In one embodiment, the exemplary system 700 can be an electronic device such as a smartphone. The system 700 can include a CPU 704, storage 702, memory 706, display 708 and receiver 709. The CPU 704 can perform the methods illustrated in and described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Additionally, the storage 702 can store data and instructions for performing the methods illustrated and described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The storage 702 can be any non-transitory computer readable storage medium, such as a solid-state drive or a hard disk drive, among other possibilities. User interfaces, such as user interface objects and notifications described above, may be displayed on the display 708. The receiver 709 can receive information from a remote device (e.g., a vehicle, a parking meter, and/or a mobile device)
The system 700 can communicate with one or more remote devices 712, 714, and 716 (e.g., a vehicle, a parking meter, and/or a mobile device) over a wired or wireless network 710, such as a local area network, wide-area network, or internet, among other possibilities. The steps of the methods disclosed herein may be performed on a single system 700 or on several systems including the remote devices 712, 714, and 716. For example, a vehicle 100 may determine that the user has parked in a paid parking area and it may send an indication to a mobile device 102. In response, the mobile device 102 may begin a timer to keep track of the elapsed time and notify the user of the elapsed time at set intervals.
