A system and method is provided for automatically identifying a vehicle and facilitating a transaction related to the vehicle. The system includes a first computing apparatus having an image sensor that captures optical images of a vehicle and an interface that transmits the captured optical image. The system further includes a remote server that receives the transmitted and captured optical image, automatically scans the captured optical image to identify one or more distinguishing features of the vehicle, automatically compares the identified distinguishing features with a unique feature database that includes respective vehicle identification information associated with unique vehicle features, automatically identify the vehicle identification information that corresponds to the vehicle upon determining a match, automatically identify vehicle configuration information based on the identified vehicle identification information, and automatically transmit the identified vehicle configuration information to the first computing apparatus to be displayed thereon.

System and method for electronic processing of vehicle transactions based on image detection of vehicle license plate

Some aspects of the invention relate to a mobile apparatus including an image sensor configured to convert an optical image into an electrical signal. The optical image includes an image of a vehicle license plate. The mobile apparatus includes a license plate detector configured to process the electrical signal to recover information from the vehicle license plate image.

Method and apparatus for identifying vehicle information from an image

A system and method is provided for automatically identifying a vehicle and facilitating a transaction related to the vehicle. The system includes a first mobile apparatus with an image sensor that captures an optical image of a vehicle license plate and convert the optical image into an electrical signal, a license plate detector that identifies the vehicle license plate information, and an interface that transmits the vehicle license plate information. The system further includes a remote server that automatically identifies vehicle configuration information based on the vehicle license plate information, automatically transmits the vehicle configuration information to the first mobile device, and automatically provide for access vehicle sales information in response to a posting request from the first mobile apparatus. Moreover, a second mobile apparatus displays the vehicle sales information and automatically initiates the transaction related to the vehicle in response to a user input.
