Abstract: Methods and systems for preventing vehicle theft. A video stream of a parking area wherein a vehicle is parked can be captured, the video stream provided by a theft notification service to which the vehicle is pre-registered. The vehicle in the video stream can be identified. The video stream is then analyzed to detect motion with respect to the vehicle. An alert can then be generated if motion is detected.

Abstract: An image assisted parking space availability searching and reservation method and system. An image capturing unit can be deployed onsite (e.g., parking lot, street side parking, etc.) to monitor parking spaces/spots. A parking space detection and reservation module can be configured in association with a mobile communications device to assist in the detection and selection of particular spaces. A destination street(s) can be located via a web browser installed associated with the mobile communications device. An IP address of the image-capturing unit monitoring the parking space can be obtained and a snapshot image/video of the street can be displayed. The captured video can be processed in real-time to report parking availability with respect to the street(s) and a parking space reserved.

Abstract: Methods, systems and processor-readable media for identifying a vehicle for street parking management. An initial identification of one or more vehicles detected parked along a street can be generated based on one or more of a group of factors. The initial identification can be communicated to a user of the vehicle by transmitting an image indicative of the vehicle parked along the street (e.g., via a mobile communications device). An operation can then be implemented for requesting a confirmation or a non-confirmation as to whether the vehicle detected and displayed on the image is associated with the user. Upon confirmation, an operation can be implemented for identifying the at least one vehicle as the initial identification. Upon non-confirmation, an operation can be implemented to query to identify the vehicle associated with the user from among a group of vehicles displayed via the image.

Abstract: In implementation, a computer-implemented method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for managing parking space availability in a parking zone is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining a request for a parking reservation for a parking space in a parking zone for a vehicle from a client device, wherein the client device is associated with a user, a vehicle, or both the user and the vehicle; determining that a parking space is available in the parking zone for the vehicle; and providing the parking reservation to the client device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically managing parking payment and enforcement. In general, real-time data regarding vehicles located in a parking zone can be acquired. The number of vehicles in the parking zone can be determined from the acquired real-time data. From such data, the number of vehicles in the parking zone that are paid can be calculated. Then, an operation can be implemented to compare the number of the vehicles in the parking zone with the number of vehicles in the parking zone that are paid with respect to the current time to determine unpaid violations if the number of vehicles in the parking zone exceeds the number of vehicles that are paid.
