Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for wireless detection, Billing and control of parking transactions using of portable telecommunications equipment.
• a system has also become known from WO 96/11453, where a cataloging of the parking space is required becomes. Parking space codes are also available with this system posed. With this system, only the start time of the Parking process recorded as the fee for the maximum allowable Time is debited. But it happens especially in short-term parking zones often afterwards the possibility to the user of the parking lot to allow the parking space to be used only for a short period of time, which is not the maximum permitted service life equivalent.
• the invention now aims at a method of the beginning to create the type with which the operating effort for the input and the billing as well as for checking whether a certain vehicle properly charges for a specific one Paid parking time, is significantly simplified, and which is known for identification and portable wireless telecommunications equipment (PCD's) usually access existing codes, so that an additional input as well as equipment susceptible to faults, such as parking meters or Parking ticket printers are unnecessary.
• PCD's portable wireless telecommunications equipment
• the method according to the invention essentially consists in that the portable wireless telecommunication device (PCD), for example, a cellular phone at a telecommunications service provider (CP) is registered for the additional service, that the PCD only transmits the desired parking time to the CP and is registered by the CP with a time stamp and that via an agreed control code to separate control PCD's after entering a readable on the vehicle Codes such as of a police license plate, information issued via the status "paid" or "unpaid” becomes.
• PCD portable wireless telecommunication device
• CP telecommunications service provider
• the same portable ones can now be used for the control wireless communication devices such as Mobile phones or cell phones are used, but only it must be ensured that such controls are not carried out by any portable telephone equipment can be made can.
• the invention proposes that via an agreed control code to the in this way as Control PCD's usable devices after entering a on the vehicle attached readable codes, e.g. of a police officer Indicator, information about the status "paid” or "not paid” is issued.
• the control process is also limited a short entry for identification of the vehicle to be checked and the sending of an agreed Codes for the authorization of this input, which in such Control PCD's can be stored and therefore not must be entered separately each time, so that a quick query and control is possible without additional facilities.
• the method according to the invention can be carried out in a particularly simple manner be carried out so that the readable code as a barcode trained and the control PCD's for control with a Barcode readers are equipped and this information at the Send status query to the CP.
• barcode indicates a specific vehicle as a participant from the additional service, so that the control does not according to other permitted methods of paying parking fees needs to be investigated. So if, for example, none completed parking ticket can be seen, but a corresponding one Readable code attached to the windshield, for example control, for example using a barcode reader, so that for Identification of the vehicle to be checked is not a separate one Entry on the PCD of the controller is required.
• such a system is suitable for location-independent Registration of vehicles in public parking areas, for which a standardized parking space management is provided is.
• private parking space management systems can also be used be involved in such a way that, for example assigned another phone number of the corresponding service so that the same system for different organizations, which handle the parking space management can reach.
• Due to the use of conventional Cellular phones can also have a number of additional ones Information without additional input in the evaluation and include information processing and in particular also information about the respective location of the mobile communication device mit Arlingtonn.
• the CP is next to the time of the parking time request of a PCD also information stores about the location of the PCD.
• the system can be operated particularly conveniently for cellular telephones standardized and specific additional protocols, such as a wireless application protocol (WAP).
• WAP wireless application protocol
• Which protocol is actually chosen in detail is, but is for the further improvement of comfort irrelevant and it can advantageously be done in such a way that a mask when selecting the number of the CP for the additional service is sent to the PCD via a wireless protocol, in which by selecting and confirming given menu items the parking time request can be entered and sent can.
