Patent number: 11984024Abstract: A parking meter detects an object in proximity, based on a change in a proximity measurement at the meter, activates a directional sensor in response to detecting the object, receives sensor data at a meter processor from the directional sensor, wherein the received sensor data indicates a predetermined direction to the detected object relative to the meter. The parking meter determines a presence of the object, or lack thereof, in the predetermined direction based on the sensor data, and upon a positive determination of the presence of the object, stores an indication of the presence of the object along with a time of the positive determination.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: IPS GROUP INC.Inventors: Alexander Schwarz, Stephen John Hunter
