DESCRIZIONE
A system and method for service access and payment is described which has direct application to consumer service access and payment using a telecommunications device and software application, which enables a consumer to subscribe to third party services while keeping their personal information anonymous such that no personal identity information is sent and stored by the service provider company.
The invention has particular application to a server-based, remote service access and payment system for a wide range of services, including vehicle parking services. In this embodiment, a consumer opens the service software application on their multimedia device, enters their vehicle identity, parking location identity, and parking duration, and the service software application then directs the consumer to a micro-payment system, or payment is made using a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. A parking service assistant can verify that the parking service access is currently valid by inputting the vehicle registration number into a device comprising a similar software application, which processes the vehicle registration number with the parking identity data and time and computes a service validation data record, which is used to determine whether the service access is currently valid.
