A vehicular security system includes a remote device with a first biometric sensor. An electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle processes data captured by the first biometric sensor to determine whether an identity of the user of the remote device matches an authorized user of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining that the user is authorized to use the vehicle, unlocks a door of the vehicle to allow the identified authorized user to access the vehicle. The system includes a second biometric sensor disposed in the vehicle and, with the identified authorized user in the vehicle, the ECU, via processing data captured by the second biometric sensor, determines whether the identity of the identified authorized user of vehicle matches an authorized operator of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining that the user is an authorized operator of the vehicle, allows operation of the vehicle.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle theft prevention device. The device can include a data store including event configuration data. The device can include one or more sensors that can sense various types of measurements proximate to a vehicle. The device can include a computing device in communication with the sensors. The computing device can read measurements from the sensors and determine that a particular event has occurred. The computing device can analyze the measurements to determine the particular event occurred based on the event configuration data. When the particular event occurs, the computing device can perform one or more remedial actions.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) anchor using a UWB ON/OFF operation method to minimize power consumption. The UWB anchor includes a power supply to supply power to the UWB anchor, a transceiver to transmit/receive a UWB signal to and from a UWB tag for performing ranging, and to transmit a reception failure when failing to receive the UWB signal from the UWB tag, and a controller to receive the reception failure from the transceiver and to end a ranging session when a cumulative sum of ranging failures for each ranging block reaches a maximum number of failed ranging round attempts.

A system and method for managing and tracking fishing/hunting rules and regulations is provided. The system generally comprises a global positioning system (GPS), a processor operably connected to the GPS, a power supply, a display operably connected to the processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon. The system and method are designed to easily and conveniently compile and store information or data related to wildlife sports. The system may use this information to help a user comply with state and federal rules and regulations via the creation of registration strategies and via indicia.

A vehicle theft alarm assembly includes a vehicle theft alarm that is integrated into a vehicle to sense impact on the vehicle. A key fob is provided that can be carried by a user and the key fob is in wireless communication with the vehicle theft alarm. The key fob emits an alert when the vehicle theft alarm is turned on to alert the user when the user is not close enough to the vehicle to hear the vehicle theft alarm. A personal electronic device is provided that can be employed by the user and the personal electronic device is in wireless communication with the vehicle theft alarm. The personal electronic device produces an alert when the vehicle theft alarm is turned on. In this way the personal electronic device can alert the user when the user is not close enough to the vehicle to hear the vehicle theft alarm.

The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle key fobs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle key fob device comprised of a vehicle key fob that has a housing, a flashlight, a biometric scanner, a plurality of LED-illuminated buttons/emblems and a button that allows the color of the LED-illuminated buttons to change. The fob may have a plurality of buttons in differing embodiments, which are preferably illuminated via at least one LED that is positioned below each button. However, in one embodiment a singular large LED may sit below all buttons to illuminate the buttons simultaneously. The at least one LED can also produce any color known in the art, which can be changed by a user by pressing a color change button located on the side surface of the fob.

Systems and methods for adjusting one or more component of a vehicle are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for adjusting one or more component of a vehicle includes at least one adjustable vehicle component, an authentication device, an audio device, and a controller. The authentication device is configured to detect a vehicle user outside of the vehicle and generate corresponding authentication data. The audio device is configured to receive an audible command from the vehicle user from outside of the vehicle and generate corresponding command data. The controller is programmed to cause an adjustment of the at least one adjustable vehicle component based on the command data when the vehicle user has been authenticated based on the authentication data.

Methods and systems for validating intent to actuate an electronic lock are provided, using comparative gesture processing. One method includes obtaining motion signals representative of physical motion of the mobile device detected by a motion sensor of the mobile device and at an electronic lock. The method includes performing a similarity correlation between the first motion signals and the second motion signals, and, based on the similarity correlation determining that the first motion signals and second motion signals are correlated. Based on the correlation and authentication, the wireless electronic lockset is actuated.

An affixable device can include a locking mechanism, a force-limiting mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The locking mechanism can include an engagement component configured to disable the locking mechanism. The force-limiting mechanism can be configured to limit a locking force of the locking mechanism. The sensing mechanism can be coupled to the engagement component, and can be configured to determine that the force-limiting mechanism has limited the locking force of the locking mechanism. In response to determining the force-limiting mechanism limiting the locking force, the sensing mechanism can cause the engagement component to disable the locking mechanism.

A device for registering and authenticating a user device for vehicle control includes: a communication unit connected to the user device to receive an authentication request from the user device; an interface configured to communicatively connect with at least one antenna included in the vehicle and communicating with a FOB of the vehicle; and a processor configured to detect whether the user device is registered based on at least one of user information and device information included in the received authentication request, to detect whether a user of the user device has the FOB by using the at least one antenna, and to control a registration process of the user device which is set differently depending on whether the user has the FOB when the user device is not registered.
