The system comprises a vehicle customization platform where a user customization profile with information about customized settings can be transferred to a customization management system within each of multiple vehicles that may be driven by a user with the user customization profile. The customized vehicle settings include seat position settings, horsepower settings, mirror position settings, climate settings, and audio system settings. Upon receiving the user customization profile, a customization management system passes customized settings to different vehicle control systems to automatically set the customized settings.

Abstract: A system and method for disabling distracting apps on a driver's personal devices while allowing passengers travelling in the same vehicle to have full use of their personal devices. The system works by first identifying all the personal devices that are in the vehicle and then establishing a loose mesh network between those devices. Once the mesh network is established, the system identifies which of the personal devices is associated with the driver, and ensures that any distracting apps on the driver's personal device are disabled, while allowing full functionality for any passenger's personal devices.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting if a vehicle safety system is being used by a driver is disclosed. The system and method use data gathered from one or more sensors in the vehicle. The data is analyzed to determine if the safety system is being used or disabled. The system can send reminders to a driver to use the safety system. The system and method can also automatically update a policy holder's insurance policy to reflect whether or not a safety system is being used.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for online brand continuity. Online brand continuity can include a number of Internet or intranet access points via which one or more network addresses can be advertised. A client can be provided with availability of a business image application via at least one of the Internet or intranet access points.

Abstract: A data processing system may include servers configured for running virtual machines and a system controller configured to perform the following steps: receiving commands to terminate a hosting session of one or more virtual machines hosted on the servers; making a determination as to how much processing capacity is required of the plurality of host servers to host the remaining virtual machines following the termination of one or more virtual machines; and if hosting the remaining virtual machines requires less than a predetermined amount of processing capacity, moving all other processes from one or more host servers to other host servers and changing the one or more host servers from an online mode in which the one or more host servers are fully powered up to an offline mode in which the one or more host servers utilize a reduced amount of electrical power.

Abstract: Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include a vehicle water detection system that includes a housing configured to be disposed within a vehicle. The vehicle water detection system also includes a water-activated battery disposed within the housing and configured to produce an electrical voltage upon contact with water. The vehicle water detection system further includes an electronic circuitry disposed within the housing and configured to detect a water event occurring in the vehicle based at least in part on the electrical voltage.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a headset system including a microphone including a microphone transducer configured to receive vocal sounds from a user of the headset system and to generate a voice audio signal representing the vocal sounds; a first earcup including a first housing, wherein the first housing further includes a voice canceling circuit, an inner speaker, and a first outer speaker; the voice canceling circuit configured to receive the voice audio signal and configured to generate a first voice canceling signal to cancel the voice of the user; and the first outer speaker including a first speaker transducer configured to generate and output sounds representing the first voice cancelling signal to cancel the vocal sounds of the user.

Abstract: Call routing technology can route a current call from a person based on an analysis of call data related to a prior call from the same person. For example, based at least on a customer satisfaction score determined from call data related to a prior call, a call routing server can identify one or more persons to whom a current call from the same person should be routed. Next, the call routing server can route the current call to one of the identified customer service representatives.

Abstract: Techniques are described for multi-factor authentication and device verification based at least partly on a periodically changing (e.g., rotating) security code. A rotating security code may be generated on a user device and used to sign a certificate. The certificate may be encrypted, using a private key stored on the user device, and communicated to a backend service for verifying that the user device is authorized to access secure information. The backend service may decrypt the certificate (e.g., using a public key associated with the private key), extract the security code from the decrypted certificate, and compare the extracted security code to a security code associated with the user device. If the codes correspond to one another, the user device may be verified and provided with access to secure information such as secure data, a secure portion of an application, and so forth.

Abstract: A method and system of providing users with a tool to interact with content from a primary app through a secondary app are disclosed. The secondary app obtains source data from the primary app and determines whether the data includes labels that can trigger the application of a particular configuration in the presentation of the content. Changes made to the source data in the secondary app that relate to substantive or key data for the content do not affect the source data in the primary app. However, changes made in the secondary app that relate to non-substantive data can be propagated back to the primary app.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the content of a user device in response to an audible request is disclosed. The system and method include an intelligent voice assistant that can control viewable content of the user device in response to a user's request. The system and method can also be used to sync content between a user and a service representative when either the user or service representative make an audible request to sync content.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe one or more servers of an enterprise system that may be configured to receive security and vulnerability information from a plurality of data sources and then rate them based upon their respective variance from an enterprise policy or status quo configuration in a related process area. The servers may execute scoring modules to normalize the data received from the data sources to tailor the system response to a given vulnerability. As such, identified vulnerabilities may be rated according to the needs of the enterprise, rather than being rated according to the factory or default configurations of a particular data source.

Abstract: An image of a check that is in the field of view of a camera is monitored prior to the image of the check being captured. The camera is associated with a mobile device. When the image of the check in the field of view passes monitoring criteria, an image may be taken by the camera and provided from the mobile device to a financial institution. The image capture may be performed automatically as soon as the image of the check is determined to pass the monitoring criteria. The check may be deposited in a user's bank account based on the image. Any technique for sending the image to the financial institution may be used. Feedback may be provided to the user of the camera regarding the image of the check in the field of view.

Abstract: A system and method for managing power consumption in a mobile device during an emergency is disclosed. The system includes an emergency management system running on a mobile device.
