Abstract:
Installation of a Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi enabled RF beacon within a vehicle. The RF beacon can be utilized to direct a user to a parking space where the user parked the vehicle. The return to parking feature can provide navigation from a current location of the user to the vehicle parking space. Navigation can be accomplished using a Global Positioning System (GPS), a beacon navigation system, or a combination thereof. The RF beacon can be utilized as a geofence. The geofence can provide several functions, such as a reminder to collect one or more items from the vehicle when the user travels outside of the geofence; automatically register the parking space where the vehicle is parked; automatically initiate a Location Based Service, and the like.
