Abstract: A voice assistance system may include an interface configured to receive a signal indicative of a voice command made to a first device. The system may also include at least one processor configured to: extract an action to be performed according to the voice command, locate a second device implicated by the voice command to perform the action, access data related to the second device from a storage device based on the voice command, and generate a control signal based on the data for actuating a control on at least one of the first device and the second device according to the voice command.

Abstract: A remote access system for a vehicle may include at least one receiver configured to detect a location of a mobile device, and a controller having a processor. The processor may be configured to determine an association of the mobile device to an authorized user when the mobile device is within a first range from the vehicle, and authenticate the user when the mobile device is within a second range from the vehicle, wherein the second range is smaller than the first range. The processor may also be configured to determine a vehicle function to perform based on data associated with the mobile device or the user, and perform the vehicle function when the mobile device is within a third range from the vehicle and the user is authenticated, wherein the third range is smaller than the second range.
