Patent attributes
A parking status system overlays upon images of a street, a lot, or a garage with representations of parked vehicles the status of any parking space shown in the image. A user retrieves the merged image with the vehicles parking in select spaces through a wireless communications network from the parking management computer system. The user then verifies payment status of multiple parking spaces simultaneously as the user patrols a beat on foot or in a vehicle. The present invention operates upon existing web browsers. The present invention allows a user to select any view within 360 degrees of the user's position in different sizes and while in motion. The present invention refreshes the status of parking spaces and subscriber vehicles at a regular interval. The invention transforms parking space, payment, and subscriber data into parking space status shown in real time to a user.
