A tiny device that can find an empty
parking place in a crowded parking lot -- and show where you parked your car
on your return
Someone entering the lot would swipe their
credit card in a machine, consult a screen showing the
nearest empty parking spot, then pick up a dashboard sensor. A
returning motorist could consult the screen at the entrance to find out where
the car is. Oh yes, the sensor would also tell a central computer to deduct
the parking fee, he said. They demonstrated the process using a
laptop computer, a model car and a mockup of a parking lot.
