Abstract: Devices are often connected to a network to facilitate remote interactions with the device. However, such connections may be absent or disabled. However, by utilizing a second device, such as a mobile phone, a transaction may be initiated on a remote device and handed-off to the second device to obtain absent information and complete the transaction. Completion of the transaction may be due to absent data, such as a data that provides absent information or resolves conflicting information in the dataset. The device may communicate with the second device via radio frequency communications and/or other forms of communication (e.g., visually, audibly, etc.), such that information the absent information is obtained and the instructions executed to complete the transaction.

Abstract: A system detects tampering of an electronic system of a vehicle operated by a driver. The system receives historical occurrences of at least one diagnostic trouble code (DTC) generated by the onboard vehicle computing system based on sensor data received from a vehicle sensor during a trip. The system identifies a length of the trip and a speed of the vehicle when each DTC was generated. The system identifies a distance the vehicle had traveled when each DTC was generated. The system determines a subsequent trip was started, whether a driver operating the vehicle on the subsequent trip is a same driver or a new driver, whether DTCs were generated during the trip, and whether DTCs were generated during the subsequent trip. The system determines a tamper rating for the driver that indicates a likelihood that the driver has tampered with the vehicle.
