Locking devices, systems, and methods for securing personal property to separate structures. Such a locking device includes a lock body, a cable within the lock body and having a first end accessible from an exterior of the lock body, a spool for extending and retracting the cable out of and into the lock body, a lock pin disposed at the first end of the cable, a cable lock incorporated into the lock body and configured to releasably secure the lock pin to the lock body, and an electronic communication and control unit incorporated into the lock body and configured to communicate with a remote device. The electronic communication and control unit controls the cable lock to secure and release the lock pin relative to the lock body to allow the remote device to wirelessly unlock the first end of the cable from the lock body.

A luggage discrepancy detection system comprising smart tags each is having a unique identity, a smart tag system server and an exit control system comprising tag scanners and a controlled exit. The system server associates unique identity of the tags with a unique passenger identifier. The total number of the tags being not less than the total pieces of the luggage belonging to the passenger. A count of the total number of the tags can be determined from the unique identity of any of the tags. The exit control system sends to the server a scan data comprising the unique identity of the detected tags during scanning of an exit space. The server generates an exit instruction on finding a count of the detected tags as less than the count of the total number of the tags determined from the unique identity of any detected tags during a scan time.

A vehicle allocation method and system are provided. Vehicle diagnostic data is received from vehicle-computing devices placed in vehicles. A diagnostic score is determined for each vehicle. A request for booking a ride is received from a customer device of a customer. A fare for the ride is determined for the vehicles. Options are transmitted to the customer device to select a vehicle for the ride based on the options. A customer selection is received from the customer device. A vehicle is allocated to the ride based on the customer selection.

In an information processing system including a terminal device carried by a user and a server device communicably connected to the terminal device by a secure communication method, the terminal device acquires a sensing result in a real space where the terminal device is located and sends the same to the server device, and the server device holds base information for specifying at least one position in the real space as an information processing base, and sends an information processing instruction to the terminal device in a case where a predetermined condition defined using a distance or a direction between a position specified by the sensing result received from the terminal device and a position specified by the base information is satisfied.

A control device for automated valet parking lot includes: a travel route determining unit configured to determine a travel route to a parking space; a travel route transmission unit configured to transmit the travel route to a vehicle; a position acquiring unit configured to acquire, from the vehicle, a position of the vehicle that is estimated by the vehicle while traveling; and a positional accuracy calculation unit configured to calculate a dynamic estimation accuracy, which is an accuracy of the position of the vehicle acquired by the position acquiring unit from the vehicle while the vehicle is travelling, prior to performing automated driving of the vehicle in accordance with the travel route.

The invention is directed to systems and methods of conducting transactions associated with a transit card. A method of conducting transactions may be conducted between a processor and a transit processor. Steps may include receiving a redemption request and determining if it is a pre-authorization request or a redemption; if the redemption request is a pre-authorization request, determining if the account is authorized for a particular transit type. If the account is authorized, communicating approval to the transit processor. If the account is not authorized communicating denial. If the redemption request is a redemption: determining if account value is sufficient to pay the redemption amount; if not, denying and if so approving the transaction and deducting the amount, and determining if the account value is below a pre-determined threshold for a particular transit types, and if so, updating the status of the account at a data store.
