An artificial intelligence (AI) entry management (EM) security system includes a camera, a microphone, a motion detector, a speaker, and a software platform. Geofences are utilized to create boundaries around physical areas, such as locations for package delivery or property boundaries. The EM device and other devices connected to the software platform are configured to monitor the geofences and detect a presence of an activity, an event, an object, or a device. At least one license plate reader is utilized to read license plate characters. Voice recognition and voice identification are used to grant or deny permissions for individuals on a property.

A vehicle authentication system and a vehicle authentication method based on BLE and fingerprint are provided. The vehicle authentication system includes an audio/video/navigation/telematics (AVNT) smart interconnection device, a driver-side door handle fingerprint identification device, a vehicle starting button fingerprint identification device, a fingerprint authentication controller, and a central control processor.

A smart door opening system includes a latch opening mechanism configured to be received in a latch hole of a door frame and configured to push a latch of a door out of the latch hole and a hinge opening mechanism configured to move the door from a closed position to an open position. A controller is operably coupled to the latch opening mechanism and the hinge actuator. The controller is configured to cause the latch opening mechanism to push the latch out of the latch hole and the hinge opening mechanism to move the door from the closed position to the open position in response to receiving a door open signal. The system includes a network interface configured to receive the door open signal via a network, and to communicate the door open signal to the controller.

A vehicular illumination system includes a ground illumination module disposed at a side door of a vehicle. The ground illumination module includes a reconfigurable display element and at least one light source operable to emit light. When the at least one light source is electrically powered, light emitted by the at least one light source illuminates a ground region adjacent the vehicle. When the at least one light source is electrically powered, light emitted by the at least one light source passes through the reconfigurable display element and the ground illumination module projects an icon established by the reconfigurable display element onto the ground region. The reconfigurable display element is reconfigurable to form the icon responsive to programming of the reconfigurable display element for an icon.

In an example, the present invention provides a local area network system for a micro-market application. The system has a world wide network of computers, which comprising the Internet. In an example, the system has a micro market server device coupled to the world wide network of computers. In an example, the micro market server device has a library comprising a listing of a plurality of products, a field configured with the association information, e.g., an identifier for the server device. In an example, the product information is associated with the plurality of products is provided in a product catalog file. The device has a plurality of fields associated with a plurality of micromarket identification information. The micromarket identification information is a unique identifier for the particular micromarket.

A vehicle key programming system and method for chip reading and writing, key and remote programming and remote frequency testing. The system tracks programming usage when not connected to system servers and reports such usage upon connection. Immobilizer algorithms are chosen to program and such algorithms are optimized with each attempted use.

A remote access device and methods of operation thereof are provided for accessing a physical object or location. The remote access device includes an accelerometer, a wireless transmitter, and control circuitry. The control circuitry causes the wireless transmitter to transition between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to receiving signals from the accelerometer indicating a first change in motion states of the remote access device. The control circuitry causes the wireless transmitter to transition between a first operating mode and a second operating mode in response to receiving signals from the accelerometer indicating a second change in motion states of the remote access device. The control circuitry further causes the wireless transmitter to transition between the first operating mode and the second operating mode in response to receiving signals from the accelerometer indicating a third change in motion states of the remote access device.

A method and system for providing access to a location secured by an electronically activated locking mechanism, the method comprising: detecting a geographical position of a mobile device. Determining that the detected geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism. Transmitting a signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock.

Passive entry systems, such as passive entry-passive start vehicle systems, using short-range wireless communication signals to determine a distance between nomadic devices and unlockable devices based on a round trip time of flight (TOF) measurement.
