Abstract: A sensor device for conducting electronic transactions from a vehicle including a housing including an RFID circuit operably connected to an RFID antenna, a short range communication device, the RFID circuit and short range communication device operably connected to a processor, and a power supply. The sensor device is wirelessly connectable to a mobile communication device via the Bluetooth chip and the mobile communication device runs a software application. The RFID antenna is adapted to receive a wireless signal from a transmitter. Responsive to the wireless signal, the processor causes the short range communication device to wirelessly communicate with the mobile communication device to initiate a transaction.
Abstract: A system and method for acquiring and communicating toll data including a server having a processing device and memory device operably connected to a toll database including toll related data related to toll usage. The server retrieving toll related data from the toll database at predetermined time intervals. The toll related data is acquired by a toll interrogation device from a toll identification device disposed on, and unique to, a particular vehicle passing though a tolling station. The processing device matching the retrieved toll data to a toll user responsible for the toll usage. The server electronically transmitting the matched toll information to the toll user.
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a transponder holder for controlling the readability of a transponder by an interrogator. Embodiments of the transponder holder can be removable mounted to a support structure, such as a windshield of a motor vehicle. The transponder can be supported by a plate of the transponder holder, which can be moved to position the transponder in a readable position and an unreadable position to allow a user to select whether the transponder is readable by an interrogator.

Abstract: A transponder holder securable to a support surface includes a transponder mounting surface defining a plane. An attachment member removably connects the mounting surface to the support surface. A connecting member extends between the attachment member and the mounting surface. The connecting member having a first portion operably connected to the attachment member and a second portion operably connected to the mounting surface. The second portion is offset from the first portion in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of the mounting surface.
