To improve convenience of a passenger using a paid seat. An image transmission unit transmits a plurality of images generated by a first camera to a passenger information processing device. The passenger information processing device performs person specifying processing using the image. A processing result acquisition unit acquires a processing result by the passenger information processing device. This processing result is obtained by associating person specifying information that specifies a person included in the image with attribute information of the passenger. A getting-on station management unit generates getting-on station information using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information. A getting-off station management unit generates getting-off station information using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information. The getting-on station information and the getting-off station information are stored in a first storage unit in association with the person specifying information of the passenger.

A taxi system includes: a plurality of unmanned taxi vehicles; a medium reader that is mounted on the unmanned taxi vehicle, and outputs a result obtained by reading a certificate medium presented by the occupant, as read data; and a system controller that acquires, by analyzing the read data, ticket information including at least one of a destination and payment information, and executes, based on the acquired ticket information, at least one of setting of the destination of the unmanned taxi vehicle and execution of a payment, in which the certificate medium is a medium issued to the occupant in order to authenticate the occupant in a situation other than taxi use.

A system includes a hardware processor that executes a software code to receive an authorization request on behalf of a user for a stacked resource including resources offered separately by multiple resource providers, determine resource provider computers associated with the stacked resource, and send a look-up request including an electronic identity of the user to those computers, where the electronic identity is used as a look-up key for determining user attribute(s) of the user. The software code further receives the user attribute(s) from the resource provider computers, generates an accumulated access profile of the user based on the user attribute(s), applies the profile to a rules engine to determine a stacked access result, and routes the authorization request and the stacked access result to one of the resource provider computers, where that computer completes an authorization process for access to the stacked resource based on the stacked access result.

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for managing parking monitoring and enforcement. Parking at a meter or in a parking lot or ramp can be provided as a subscription. A registration and verification process for the subscription service can be provided as a multi-step process that combines the smart parking meter with a QR code, a mobile parking app for a smartphone, a central parking management system, and digital images of the parked vehicle(s). The registration process verifies that only vehicles owned by the subscriber are associated with the subscriber's account. Steps can also be employed to ensure that subscribers are not incorrectly issued parking citations by determining whether license plate data for a vehicle initially determined to be in violation matches an active subscription parker's roster of registered vehicles.

A system includes a plurality of portable lockers. Each of the portable lockers includes a lockable compartment configured to contain contents. The system also includes a docking station that includes a vault configured to secure the plurality of portable lockers, a user input device configured to receive a request from a user to take a first portable locker of the plurality of portable lockers, a biometrics sensor configured to collect a biometric from the user, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to determine, based on the biometric, whether the user has permission to take the first portable locker and control the vault to release the first portable locker to the user in response to a determination that the user has permission to take the first portable locker.

The disclosure generally relates to a system and method for randomly generating unlock codes and identifiers for locks, and creating unlock code and identifier pairs. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention is integrated with, or part of, a distributed management system that controls access to various locations, such as, for example, self-storage units, hotel rooms, apartment buildings, storage containers, short-term housing rentals, lockers, equipment rooms, vaults, hospitals, airports, government facilities, nuclear power facilities, water treatment facilities, weapon storage facilities, aircraft cockpits, and any other setting that requires restricted, selective, or monitored access that can be remotely controlled, whereby users can receive unlock codes electronically on their mobile device.

An autonomous robotic vehicle includes a conveyance system, a securable compartment configured to autonomously lock and unlock, a customer identification reader, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the autonomous robotic vehicle to, autonomously: travel to a destination location of a customer; capture, by the customer identification reader at the destination location, a customer identification object; determine that the captured customer identification object matches an identity of the customer; unlock the securable compartment based on the determination; capture, by the product identification reader, a product identifier; and accept a product to be returned by locking the securable compartment. The securable compartment contains a product identification reader.

A method of managing and verifying a certificate of a terminal is provided. The method includes obtaining certificate information that is usable when downloading and installing a specific bundle corresponding to at least one of a secondary platform bundle family identifier or a secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier, transmitting, to a secondary platform bundle manager, the certificate information corresponding to the at least one of the secondary platform bundle family identifier or the secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier of the specific bundle, and receiving, from the secondary platform bundle manager, at least one of a certificate of the secondary platform bundle manager, certificate information to be used by a smart secure platform (SSP), the secondary platform bundle family identifier, or the secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement and manage software defined silicon products are disclosed. Example semiconductor devices disclosed herein include circuitry configurable to provide one or more features. Disclosed example semiconductor devices also include a license processor to activate or deactivate at least one of the one or more features based on a license received via a network from a first remote enterprise system. Disclosed example semiconductor devices further include an analytics engine to report telemetry data associated with operation of the semiconductor device to at least one of the first remote enterprise system or a second remote enterprise system, the analytics engine to report the telemetry data in response to activation or deactivation of the at least one of the one or more features based on the license.
