Abstract: A method for charging a payer includes detecting a payer device, which is associated with a payer account, entering an event area. The payer device is then associated with an event invoice in a database. When the payer device is determined to have been involved in at least one payer charging event while being located in the event area, a charge is associated with the event invoice in the database for each payer charging event the payer device has been involved in. When the payer device is detected leaving the event area, a payment is charged to the payer account for the event invoice.

Abstract: A location-based payer charging system includes a charging database including at least one transportation charge element associated with a transportation provider. A system provider device in the location-based payer charging system is coupled to a network and the charging database. The system provider device is operable to receive first location data from a payer device over the network in response to the payer device entering a first transportation area, and then receive second location data from the payer device over the network in response to the payer device exiting a second transportation area. The system provider device will then determine a payment amount using the first location data, the second location data, and a transportation charge element retrieved from the charging data, and send an instruction to charge the payment amount to a payer account that is associated with the payer device.
