  • Publication number: 20240330935
    Abstract: A system for facilitating communication between layer 2 networks is disclosed. The system may include a first layer 2 network and a second layer 2 network. One or more of the first or second layer 2 network may include a communication platform that is configured to define a protocol for establishing communication between the first and second layer 2 network. Furthermore, based at least in part on the protocol, a bridge may be generated that communicatively couples the first and second layer 2 networks. In some embodiments, generating a bridge may include generating a smart contract to facilitate communication between the first and second layer 2 networks.

  • Patent number: 10066954
    Abstract: Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for navigating a vehicle to a recommended parking area are provided. A method of navigating a vehicle to a parking space includes determining a destination, determining a best available parking space, and routing the vehicle to the best available parking space. Available parking spaces are determined by accessing data for parking facilities, parking meters, and GPS data of other vehicles. The best parking spaces are determined by user preferences that include one or more of distance from destination, cost of parking, and availability of particular types of parking spaces. The method further includes providing media content in the vehicle during navigation to the best available parking space.
