Abstract: A vehicle communication system includes an on-board vehicle communication module and a remote communication module. The on-board vehicle communication module includes a light source that is configured to be modulated in order to transmit data, an on-board controller that controls the light source and an on-board memory that is operably coupled to the on-board controller such that the on-board controller can obtain data from the on-board memory for transmission by the light source. The remote communication module includes a light receiver that is sensitive to the modulated light provided by the light source forming part of the on-board vehicle communication module. In some cases, the vehicle communication system enables bidirectional communication between the vehicle communication module and the remote communication module.

Abstract: A portable security device may enable a security guard to quietly and unobtrusively solicit assistance, or transmit information, when desired. A portable security device may include a user interface, a LiFi source and a controller that is operatively coupled to the user interface and to the LiFi source. In some cases, the controller may be configured to present two or more alert options to the security guard via the user interface and to receive a selection of one of the alert options by the security guard. In response to the selection of an alert option by the security guard, the controller may be configured to transmit a LiFi message that corresponds to the selected alert option via the LiFi source.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for accessing a device using a paired device in its proximity. In one embodiment, a resource sharing method is disclosed, comprising: obtaining a proximal device identifier associated with a proximal device; identifying a proximal device profile associated with the proximal device identifier; retrieving access privilege data stored in the proximal device profile; generating, via a processor, user interface data based on the access privilege data; and providing the user interface data for display.
