Abstract: A user can define two or more input modes with respective input values to establish an authentication protocol to unlock a computer or govern other computer behavior. As an example, the user may first establish a particular voice recognition pattern followed by a particular image recognition and subsequent logons can be accomplished only by speaking the voice recognition pattern into the device and then by presenting the commanded image, such as an image of the user's face, to the device.

Abstract: A plug-in is provided to a CAD program on a vehicle to permit the CAD program to present an image from a vehicle-mounted video camera that exceeds a 180 degree field of view, even though the core CAD program without plug-in is designed to present no more than a 180 degree field of view image.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating and outputting video comprising graphical guidelines for assisting in vehicle maneuvering. The system includes an optical sensor and a directional sensor. The system further includes an electronic guideline generator and a video interface. The guideline generator generates guidelines based on at least one dimension of an object coupled to the optical sensor. The video interface is operable to output data comprising information received from the optical sensor and the guideline generator. The directional sensor and the optical sensor are independent of any control from any vehicle navigation system of the vehicle.

Abstract: System and methods for viewing a mobile screen from a mobile device on the desktop of a computer by operating a predefined pair of a mobile application program and a computer application program to provide continuous seamless integration of the processing of the data file as a pseudo-single session. When the user operates certain operations, the document opened by the mobile device application program is saved as a file, and automatically transferred from the mobile device storage file system to the computer storage file system. A pre-defined equivalent application software on the computer is launched and the copied computer file is opened on the computer screen outside or overlapping to the mobile device screen emulation window.

Abstract: A personal organizer automatically obtains current position and traffic information for events scheduled on a calendar in the personal organizer. This information is used in combination with event location information and map information in the personal organizer to calculate and present route and estimated time of arrival information to the scheduled event. If the ETA is later than the event time in the calendar, automatic delay notifications can be sent to contacts associated with the event.
