Systems and methods allow for the integrated circuit cards (ICCs) to removably couple to each other and transmit information to an access device as a single device. One among the two or more ICCs coupled together may read data from the remaining ICCs and provide the data to an access device via contactless communication. The ICC may include a substrate; an integrated circuit embedded in the substrate; input ports exposed on a first surface of the substrate, and output ports exposed on a second surface of the substrate. The input ports and the output ports are electrically coupled to the integrated circuit. The output ports are configured to be removably coupled to the input ports of a second ICC.

Disclosed is an artificial intelligence apparatus that includes: a sensing unit that includes a gyroscope sensor and an acceleration sensor; an output unit that outputs information; and a processor that acquires a resultant value output from a deep learning model by inputting data acquired from the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor into the deep learning model, performs self-diagnosis when the resultant value shows a shock requiring self-diagnosis, and controls the output unit to output a result of the self diagnosis, in which the deep learning model is a neural network having an adjusted weight by being trained using whether a shock is a shock requiring the self-diagnosis as a resultant value and sensing values of the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor as input values.

An RFID transponder including a Bluetooth compatible transceiver is described as a (BLEET). The Bluetooth® compatible transceiver may be configured to set data that is transmitted via one or more RFID transceivers in the transponder and to return data received by the RFID transceiver(s) to a client application running, for example, on a user's smart phone. The BLEET may be used for electronic vehicle tracking or tolling. Vehicle occupancy data may be set by the user with the client application via a Bluetooth® connection in connection with high occupancy vehicle tolling and express lane incentive programs.

A mobile terminal that can be utilized for a checkpoint management system performs contactless electric communication with a reader/writer device for a passive RFID tag. An application processing unit cooperates with an application server through electronic communication. A position information acquisition unit acquires current position information of the mobile terminal. A terminal controller or a RFID tag processing unit receives a signal related to a carrier wave or a command emitted from the reader/writer device which results in a trigger that causes the application processing unit to operate. The application processing unit acquires from the mobile terminal personal information and chronologic information. The application processing unit further transmits the information to the application server together with current position information. Information transmitted from the mobile terminal can be utilized as history information on the checkpoint from, through or at which the user departs, passes or arrives.

A system for managing containers includes a server, a portable electronic device and a check apparatus. The server stores a piece of transaction data. The portable electronic device is configured to receive the piece of transaction data from the server, to determine whether a shaking criterion is met based on acceleration of the portable electronic device, and to display a barcode corresponding to the piece of transaction data when the shaking criterion is met. The portable electronic device is further configured to capture an image and send the image to the server. The check apparatus is configured to read and decode the barcode, and to display information relating to the piece of transaction data based on data encoded in the barcode.
