A module of a mobile device is used to communicate, to a parking server which stores global data relative to parking places in a parking facility, the presence of a vehicle in the parking facility. There is received, via the module, an indication from the parking server of one or more occupied and/or unoccupied parking places in the parking facility. The module is used to detect a parking event of the vehicle relative to one of the one or more occupied and/or unoccupied parking places, and to report the parking event to the parking server. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
