A system for securing fuel in vehicles using IoT devices
The present invention provides system (100) for securing fuel of motor vehicles using IoT devices. The system comprises control device (101) mounted on lid of fuel tank to control the opening and closing of the lid of the fuel tank, from remote places. The control device (101) comprises plurality of IoT sensors connected to a microcontroller unit (205), a GSM module (202) to transfer the data between the authorized user and control device (101). The control device (101) also comprises microcontroller unit (205) to execute the plurality of operations and motor (207) integrated with microcontroller unit (205) to lock or unlock the lid of the fuel tank on receiving the signal from authorized user. An application is installed onto the user's mobile device (104) to monitor and track the activities in fuel tank. A cloud based database server (103) is used for storing and analyzing the measured fuel data.
Touch detection on a curved surface
A system includes a curved window and a light energy emitter arranged exterior to the curved window. The system includes a light energy receiver arranged exterior to the curved window and arranged to detect light energy emitted by the light energy emitter. The light energy passes over a touchpad provided on the curved window. A touch on the touchpad may be detected by the system.
Vehicle state presentation system, vehicle, terminal device, and vehicle state presentation method
A terminal device separate from a vehicle includes a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is in a first state different from a second state, a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state based on the notification signal, an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input commanding the first state to be maintained, and a transmitter that transmits a signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit. The vehicle includes a control unit that performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
VEHICLE STATE PRESENTATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND VEHICLE STATE PRESENTATION METHOD

The vehicle includes a control unit that performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
Mobile key enrollment and use
A computer system performs techniques related to displaying a representation of a secure credential and using the secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system detects that the computer system is physically near a vehicle. In some embodiments, a computer system permits a user access to use one or more functions of a vehicle using a secure credential.
Method and apparatus for providing user interface based on projection
A device for providing an interface using a projection includes: a first camera for capturing a vehicle user when an approach of the vehicle user to a vehicle is detected; a projector for projecting an interface, related to at least one vehicle control function, preset based on user identification information; a second camera for capturing an area on which the interface is projected; a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor for executing the instructions to: acquire the user identification information of the vehicle user using the first camera, recognize a user input to the interface using the second camera, and perform a vehicle control corresponding to the interface when the user input is recognized.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLE OPERATION USING A HEADS-UP DISPLAY
A method includes identifying a vehicle start, detecting a face of an occupant in response to identifying the vehicle start, and performing facing recognition on the detected face. The method further includes determining whether the detected face is associated with an authorized occupant for the vehicle and controlling a HUD system to display normal HUD information in response to determining that the detected face is associated with the authorized occupant for the vehicle. The HUD display is further controlled to perform windshield view blocking in response to determining that the detected face is not associated with the authorized occupant for the vehicle.
