Secure electronic payment is disclosed as it may be implemented for a point of sale machine such as but not limited to, vending machines/devices, parking devices/facilities, and laundry machines/facilities. An example secure electronic payment system includes a remote payment processing to confirm payment for a transaction at a point of sale device. The point of sale device is configured to receive a token from the mobile device for the transaction. A token processing module at the point of sale device confirms validity of the token. A transaction processing module executes the transaction at the point of sale device.

An example secure electronic payment system includes a remote payment processor to confirm payment for a transaction at a point of sale device and issue a token to a mobile device for completing the transaction. A wireless interface module at the point of sale device is configured to receive the token from the mobile device for the transaction via a wireless communications protocol. A token processing module at the point of sale device confirms validity of the token. A transaction processing module negotiates the transaction at the point of sale device by actuating the point of sale device.

A system and method for managing a permit-based parking environment governed by a parking program. The permit-based parking environment includes a number of parking permits each including a unique RFID tag and tag number. One or more RFID readers are used to scan the vehicles parked in the parking environment to determine if a RFID tag is associated with the parked vehicle. The results of the scan along with information related to the parked vehicle are provided to a permit management system to determine if the vehicle is parked within the scope of privileges pre-defined for that vehicle, pursuant to the parking program governing the parking environment. The permit management system stores, manages, and monitors data related to the permits controlled under the parking program.

Parking environment management system and method

Permit-based parking environment management method and system

A parking meter has a vault housing and a vault door removably covering a main opening and having a back facing an interior of the housing. A lock assembly includes a lock cylinder disposed on the door and that has a body and a usually movable portion. A bolting mechanism operatively connects to the movable portion of the lock cylinder for selectively providing a locked position. A support structure is disposed on the interior side of the door and holds the bolting mechanism. A removable retainer engages the body of the lock cylinder, which is usually stationary. This results in the retainer preventing motion of the body sufficient to operate the bolting mechanism. The support structure is configured for releasably maintaining the retainer on the lock cylinder body. The vault housing defines a tool hole providing access to the interior of the housing for insertion of a disengagement tool through the tool hole. The retainer has a portion configured for connecting to the disengagement tool and is configured so that retracting the disengagement tool while connected to the retainer provides enough disengagement from the lock cylinder body to permit motion of the lock cylinder body to operate the bolting mechanism when the movable portion will not move relative to the body.

Parking meter housing

A parking meter consisting of a housing and a stanchion located adjacent a parking space for mounting of the parking meter thereon. The stanchion has a tubular upper end portion and the parking meter has a tubular lower end portion for positioning around the upper end of the stanchion. A fitting is attached to the upper end of the stanchion and gear teeth are defined by the fitting. The lower end of the meter housing has formed therein a set of gear teeth adapted to mesh with the gear teeth of the fitting in any one of several available relative positions. A bolt and pin combination is employed for providing a high security connection of the fitting and upper housing to the stanchion. Passages are provided so that rainwater and the like is directed outside of the housing and stanchion and does not accumulate within the meter housing.
