A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

A managing apparatus for positioning rental vehicles includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the managing apparatus to access model information and location information for a plurality of autonomous vehicles, receive a request including a delivery location and a chosen model for renting, select an autonomous vehicle of the chosen model from among the plurality of autonomous vehicles based on the model information, the location information, and the delivery location, instruct the selected autonomous vehicle to fully-autonomously or semi-autonomously travel to the delivery location, and instruct the selected autonomous vehicle to switch to manual operation mode at the delivery location for manual operation by a vehicle rental customer.

The present invention relates to security systems and methods for vehicles and/or vehicle users that prevent the theft of vehicles, and/or that guarantee the security of the vehicle user. In order to achieve the above, the system of the present invention has an enabling system that controls the ignition of the vehicle, and/or a device for helmets intended for the monitoring of the security of the user, and makes it possible to determine, for example, whether the user is wearing the helmet and is using the same correctly, or whether the vehicle user has suffered an impact. Specifically, the system of the present invention has an interactive system (mobile device) associated with the user which, depending on the need, signals the enabling system to enable the vehicle ignition, provided that at least one condition is fulfilled, where a condition may be that the interactive system is close to the enabling system and/or emits an alert message to the external device of a third party if any novelty is detected in the helmet device.

A method for robust identification of a vehicle occupant. Simultaneously acquired data pairs from interior sensors and sensing elements are used as a training data set for global learning of a Deep Canonical Correlation Analysis architecture with two neural networks, wherein an authentication of the respective vehicle occupants from the group of vehicle users is carried out in a first step as an initialization. In a second step or a subsequent use, only one of the two sensing elements is then needed to identify the respective vehicle occupant. Also described is a system, via which the robust identification is provided by way of the method.

An apparatus for recognizing a face is provided. The apparatus includes a camera configured to obtain a partial-face image of a passenger, and a controller configured to learn a boarding condition of a user and recognize the user based on the partial-face image of the passenger when a current boarding condition of the passenger satisfies the learned boarding condition.
