摘要

A system and methods using applications for entry and exit from registered locations, where a registered location has an associated geo-fence of any size or shape. A registered location may be mobile or stationary. An internet-connected device running an app transmits the current geographic location of the device, and a remote processing center executes a default action when finding correspondence between the geo-fence of a registered location and the current geographic information of an end user's device, and in one embodiment, the default action may be to enter and pay for parking at a registered location.

1. A system for location-based entrance into at least one parking facility, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
enter, into a remote processing center, geographic information and a parking rate structure for at least one parking facility with at least one moveable physical barrier connected with hardware connected with software in communication with the remote processing center,wherein upon entry of the geographic information and the parking rate structure of a parking facility, the remote processing center recognizes the parking facility and connected software as a specific registered parking facility; at least one mobile internet-connected device with an application, wherein the application enables communication between the mobile device and remote processing center, transmitting information, instructions and signals between the device and processing center; the one or more processors configured to enter, into the remote processing center, end user information comprising at least one end user payment option and identifying information for at least one vehicle, the remote processing center configured to associate a specific mobile device with a specific end user, payment option and vehicle; the one or more processors configured to transmit information comprising a current geographic location of the associated mobile device from the associated mobile device via the internet to the remote processing center; the remote processing center configured to analyze to determine correspondence between the current geographic information transmitted from the associated mobile device and geographic information of a specific registered parking facility, and when analysis finds correspondence; and the one or more processors configured to:
transmit instructions, from the remote processing center to the connected software and hardware at the specific registered parking facility, to open the barrier; andcharge the end user's payment option according to the specific parking facility rate structure.
