Systems and methods for wireless device detection

Abstract

Vehicular movement detection systems and methods are disclosed. One or more computing devices are configured to monitor location data associated with a first user device. It is determined that a first user device enters a geographic area based on the location data. In response to determining that first user device has entered or departed a geographic area, a message is prompted on the first user device using a first software application. The message includes executable instructions that launch a second application the first user device, and cause the first user device to transmit a search request for a listing location with one or more search request parameters automatically generated in response to the executable instructions. A confirmation identifier is received by the first user device, the confirmation identifier being useable for unlocking a secured area.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hardware parking payment processing system, comprising:
 a non-transitory memory;   one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:
 presenting a coded image that is machine-readable but unreadable by a human on a display of a first parking device located within proximity to a parking lot; 
 scanning, using an image capturing component of a second parking device, the coded image presented on the screen of the first parking device; 
 using one or more image recognition techniques to decode data encoded in the coded image, wherein the data includes parking payment information; 
 processing, using the hardware parking payment processing, a payment transaction in accordance with the parking payment information; 
 determining the payment transaction has been completed; and 
 responsive to determining that the payment transaction has been completed: 
 causing the hardware parking payment processing system to make a physical movement, thereby enabling a vehicle to enter or exit the parking lot. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the coded image identifies at least one of a parking stall number, a price for parking, and a length of time for parking. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the coded image is a matrix barcode. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the matrix barcode is a quick response (QR) code. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a wireless mobile device is verified before the payment transaction is processed in response to matching, a first identifier within a signal sent by a broadcast device with a second identifier associated with the coded image. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user-selectable message includes a deep link. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising transmitting a digital coupon to the wireless mobile device. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
 scanning, using an image capturing component of a second hardware parking machine, a second coded image presented on the screen of the wireless mobile device;   causing the hardware parking machine to make a physical movement, thereby enabling the vehicle to exit the parking lot.   
     
     
         9 . A method of wireless device detection, comprising:
 at a computing device, coupled to database including parameters associated with a plurality of listing locations, the computing device including one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors, which, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform:
 presenting a coded image that is machine-readable but unreadable by a human on a display of a first parking device located within proximity to a parking lot; 
 scanning, using an image capturing component of a second parking device, the coded image presented on the screen of the first parking device; 
 using one or more image recognition techniques to decode data encoded in the coded image, wherein the data includes parking payment information; 
 processing, using the hardware parking payment processing, a payment transaction in accordance with the parking payment information; 
 determining the payment transaction has been completed; and 
 responsive to determining that the payment transaction has been completed: 
 causing the hardware parking payment processing system to make a physical movement, thereby enabling a vehicle to enter or exit the parking lot. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the coded image identifies at least one of a parking stall number, a price for parking, and a length of time for parking. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the coded image is a matrix barcode. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the matrix barcode is a quick response (QR) code. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a wireless mobile device is verified before the payment transaction is processed in response to matching, a first identifier within a signal sent by a broadcast device with a second identifier associated with the coded image. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the user-selectable message includes a deep link. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the wireless mobile device is an on-board vehicle computer. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising transmitting a digital coupon to the wireless mobile device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein further comprising:
 scanning, using an image capturing component of a second hardware parking machine, a second coded image presented on the screen of the wireless mobile device;   causing the hardware parking machine to make a physical movement, thereby enabling the vehicle to exit the parking lot.   
     
     
         18 . A system, comprising:
 a non-transitory memory;   one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:
 presenting a coded image that is machine-readable but unreadable by a human on a display of a first parking device located within proximity to a parking lot;
