Vehicle Parking Event Initiated Promotional Material System

摘要

A vehicle parking event initiated promotional material system for providing promotional material to a mobile device initiated by a vehicle parking event. The vehicle parking event initiated promotional material system generally includes a user entering a parking identifier into an application on their mobile device, wherein the parking identifier is associated with a particular parking zone, parking spot or combination of both. The parking identifier is communicated to a server that determines if there are any promotional materials (e.g. advertisements) available for the parking identifier. If one or more promotional materials are identified by the server, the server then compares the promotional materials to the user's preferences to determine if a promotional material is within the user's preferences. Once an acceptable promotional material is identified by the server, the server communicates the promotional material to the application on the mobile device and the promotional material is then displayed to the user on the display screen of the mobile device.
