  • Patent number: 7342511
    Abstract: A system and method for managing a valet parking system enables the tracking of the damage to vehicles. The method provides for linking digital images of a vehicle to a set of valet parking data. The valet parking data is collected from a valet attendant, and the digital images are collected from a plurality of digital cameras. The images document a physical condition of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated by the valet attendant. The method further provides for storing the valet parking data and the digital images to an electronic database. Thus, digital images can be retrieved from the electronic database based on the valet parking data, and damage can be assessed.
