Patent number: 10964212Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for facilitating rental of a private parking space by an urban resident are provided. Motor vehicle parking spaces located in a residential area are managed through a server. Smart parking devices that are each physically proximate to least one of the parking spaces are interfaced to the server. Vehicle occupancy sensors that are also each physically proximate to least one of the parking spaces are interfaced to the server. Parking availability indicators that are each associated with at least one of the parking spaces are interfaced to the server. The parking spaces are supplemented with a private parking space under legitimate control by a resident of the residential area. Use of the private parking space is managed through the server and the smart parking device nearest to the private parking space. Parking availability the parking spaces is indicated through the nearest parking availability indicator.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Mark Jeffrey Stefik, Alan G. Bell, Craig Eldershaw, Lance E. Good, Daniel H. Greene, Francisco Eduardo Torres, Serdar Uckun, David Preston Cummins, Roger Phylos Hoover, Robert Thomas Krivacic

Patent number: 10621866Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing guest parking reservations are provided. Motor vehicle parking spaces located in a residential area are managed through a server. Smart parking devices and vehicle occupancy sensors that are each physically proximate to least one of the parking spaces are interfaced to the server. Use of one of the parking spaces for a guest of a resident of the area is reserved. A request for a reservation is accepted and that the resident is eligible to reserve the space is confirmed. The request is granted provided the parking space is available over any other reservations in the server. Use of the parking space is managed. Occupancy of the parking space by a vehicle is sensed through the nearest sensor. An identity of a motorist is verified through the nearest parking device. The use of the parking space is denied if not by the guest.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Mark Jeffrey Stefik, Alan G. Bell, Craig Eldershaw, Lance E. Good, Daniel H. Greene, Francisco Eduardo Torres, Serdar Uckun, David Preston Cummins, Roger Phylos Hoover, Robert Thomas Krivacic

Patent number: 8671014Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing recurring residential parking reservations is provided. Motor vehicle parking spaces located in a residential area are managed through a server. Smart parking devices, vehicle occupancy sensors, and parking availability indicators are interfaced to the server. Use of the parking spaces by a resident is reserved on a recurring basis throughout a subscription period. A parking reservation, including recurring times and dates, is requested. The request is granted provided the parking space is available over any other reservations stored in the server. Use of the reserved parking space is managed throughout the subscription period. Occupancy of the requested parking space is sensed through the nearest vehicle occupancy sensor. A motorist's identity is verified through the nearest smart parking device. The use of the reserved parking space is denied if not by the resident and parking non-availability is indicated during each recurring time and date.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignees: Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated, Xerox CorporationInventors: Mark Jeffrey Stefik, Alan G.

Publication number: 20090024530Abstract: Electronic and automatic gifting techniques are provided for messages, such as short message service (SMS) or multimedia messaging service (MMS) messages, wherein a gifter designates a recipient for one or more gift(s) offered in a set of gifts. Based on a selection of gift(s), message(s) are automatically generated for the gift(s) having unique identifier(s) that correspond to products or services of an enabling entity that enables the products or services. The message(s) including the unique identifier(s) are then automatically transmitted to the recipient. The unique identifier(s) can be encrypted/hashed with a secret provided by the recipient for an additional layer of security. Any of gifter information, giftee information, context of the service, or external information, such as global positioning service (GPS) location, can be used to make recommendations for gifts in the set of gifts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2008Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: MOZES INCORPORATEDInventors: Dorrian Grant Porter, Dan Ackerman Greenberg, Jason Carl Tokoph, Roger Phylos Hoover, Huajun Qin, Jonathan Chiu
