Abstract:
A method and system for remotely seeking assistance to timely refill an expiring parking meter and generating notifications thereof. Data indicative of a vehicle being parked in a parking space and parking meter time limit information are received for a parking meter associated with the parking space. An approaching expiration of the parking meter time limit is detected and sent to the first user. The first user may then transmit a request to additional users in the area for assistance with refilling the parking meter. Upon acceptance of the request by a second user, the first user is notified. An escrow account is established for the first user to deposit payment for the refilling, and notification of the deposit is sent to the second user. Upon completion, the second user transmits proof of the refilling and the deposit payment is transferred from the escrow account to the second user.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer-implemented system for seeking assistance with timely refilling a parking meter, the system comprising:\n at least one server; a database for storing parking meter data; a plurality of remote computing devices associated with a plurality of users in connection with a communication network; at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing computer-readable instructions, wherein the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is in connection with the communication network and resides on the at least one server; and at least one processor for executing the computer-readable instructions to:\n receive data indicative of a vehicle associated with a first user being parked in a parking space; \n store the data associated with the parking space in a database; \n receive parking meter time limit information for a parking meter associated with the parking space; \n identify an expiration time at which the parking meter time limit expires; \n determine whether the parking meter associated with the parking space requires refilling at the expiration time; \n in response to determining that the parking meter associated with the parking space requires refilling at the expiration time, notify the first user of the expiration time of the parking meter during a predetermined time period prior to the expiration time; \n transmit a request from the first user to one or more additional users for assistance with refilling the parking meter; \n identify an acceptance of the request by a second user selected from the one or more additional users; \n transmit the acceptance of the request from the second user to the first user; \n establish an escrow account for the user to deposit payment for the refilling of the parking meter; \n notify the second user of the deposit payment in the escrow account; \n receive information from the second user indicative of proof of the refilling of the parking meter; and \n transmit the deposit payment from the escrow account to the second user.
