Systems and Methods for Valet Parking

摘要

A system for coordinating valet services comprises a server including a server controller, a server database in communication with the controller, and server memory in communication with the controller, the server memory storing server program instructions that are executable by the controller. The system also includes a customer mobile device and a valet mobile device associated with a customer application and a valet application, respectively. The customer application is associated with a vehicle identifier, and the valet application is associated with a valet identifier. In response to receipt of the valet identifier and the vehicle identifier by the server from the customer application, the server controller prompts the valet application to request a ticket number.

1. A system for coordinating valet services comprising:
a server including:
a server controller;a server database in communication with the controller, the server database including a plurality of unique identification codes, wherein each unique identification code is associated with one of a plurality of valet locations; andserver memory in communication with the controller, the server memory storing server program instructions that are executable by the controller; a customer mobile device in communication with the server including:
a customer controller;a customer user interface; andcustomer memory in communication with the customer controller, the customer memory storing customer application program instructions that are executable by the customer controller; and a valet mobile device in communication with the server including:
a valet controller;a valet user interface; andvalet memory in communication with the valet controller, the valet memory storing program instructions that are executable by the valet controller; wherein execution of the customer application program instructions by the customer controller provides a customer application through the customer user interface and execution of the valet application program instructions by the valet controller provides a valet application through the valet user interface; the customer application is associated with a vehicle identifier; the valet application is associated with a valet identifier in the server database, the valet identifier is also visually identifiable at a valet location; in response to receipt of the valet identifier and the vehicle identifier by the server from the customer application, the server controller prompts the valet application to request the vehicle identifier and a ticket number; in response to receipt of the vehicle identifier and a ticket number by the server from the valet application, the server controller stores a record in the database indicating the vehicle identifier status as checked in with the valet location; and in response to receipt of a notification request by the server from the customer application, the notification request including a vehicle identifier and a request for a valet attendant to retrieve the vehicle, the server prompts the valet application to provide a notification request alert through the valet user interface.
