Abstract: Method and system for displaying a digital human-like avatar in self-driving vehicles (SDV) including detecting a set of environmental data/characteristics in the vehicle surrounding area by sensors/cameras generating signals to be input for traditional machine learning classifiers on a computer vision module (CVM); receiving control system inputs from the sensors and processing actions to be performed; after receiving outputs from the control system, executing autonomous driving actions by an actuator system; and based on inputs from the CVM and a personalization module, combined with actions and car status information from the control system, generating a digital avatar performing human-like reactions/expressions/gestures to properly communicate/indicate the current and future actions of the SDV for external people on a SDV display device.

Abstract: Method for providing a secure mode for mobile applications including: configuring which applications should be available in secure mode; defining in the mobile operating system kernel, rules and privileges for applications defined for the secure mode; checking continuously if the secure mode is enabled by the user; if the security mode is enabled by the user, then the operating system kernel searches all processes and applications running on the operating system, suspend) the system applications not configured to be available in secure mode, hides the protected application, restricts inter-process communications and enforce privilege escalation events and enables access to application files protected by the protected application user Id; and if the security mode is disabled by the user, then the kernel releases all processes and applications that were stopped by the secure mode and denies any access to the protected application files.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method (100) for multi-factor authentication, which uses wearable devices as a secondary device (204) in conjunction with a primary/main device (200) (e.g., the smartphone of user who conducts the electronic transaction) to allow the user to verify the data integrity of electronic transaction before authorizing it (out of possible compromised device e.g. smartphone).
