Abstract: The disclosure is related to a system and a method for collision avoidance for vehicle. In the method, the system predicts multiple routes of an abnormal vehicle in a period of time according to historical data when a nearby vehicle receives an alert from the abnormal vehicle. A route potential pattern can be created when the system gets the historical data. The system also computes one or more available routes for the nearby vehicle based on its vehicle information. Every available route has its collision risk value. The system finally provides a recommended route with lower collision risk value when it considers a time of the abnormal vehicle reaches its great change, a time of predicting the nearby vehicle meets the range of route potential pattern, and a safe distance there-between.

The electronic device includes a first memory unit for storing a non-payment application, a first processor, a fingerprint sensing unit and a security element including a second memory unit and a second processor. The second memory unit stores a payment application and user fingerprint information. When the second processor executes the payment application, the fingerprint sensing unit captures a fingerprint image of a user's finger and the second processor transmits the fingerprint image to the first processor via a secure channel. The first processor calculates biometric characteristics of the fingerprint image to generate to-be-recognized fingerprint information which is transmitted to the second processor via the secure channel. When the second processor determines that the to-be-recognized fingerprint information matches the user fingerprint information, the second processor generates an authentication signal for a payment transaction.
