Abstract: A display in a commercial passenger vehicle can an option to be locked or unlock to enhance security. An example system for securing an in-vehicle entertainment (WE) display in a commercial passenger vehicle comprises a mobile device and a computer. The mobile device comprises a first processor configured to secure a display located in the commercial passenger vehicle, where the first processor is configured to: obtain a payload; generate a first digitally signed payload as a first output of a first mathematical computation performed on the payload with a secret key; and send a first message comprising the first digitally signed payload and a lock command to instruct the display to lock the display. The computer is communicably coupled with the display and comprises a second processor configured to send a first instruction to cause the display to lock in response to a reception of the lock command.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a hand tracking device. The hand tracking device includes a first infrared camera for capturing a plurality of images of a user hand indicating a first gesture for requesting a first action associated with operating a display device. The hand tracking device utilizes the plurality of images to generate a three-dimensional image of the user hand; and detects the first gesture from the three-dimensional image using a trained model that stores a plurality of input gestures corresponding to three-dimensional images of user hands. A first operation is executed in response to the detected first gesture. The hand tracking device continuously monitors the user hand to detect a second gesture from the trained model for executing a second operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a transportation vehicle are provided. One method includes receiving a user input for a valid communication session by a processor executable, digital assistant at a device on a transportation vehicle; tagging by the digital assistant, the user input words with a grammatical connotation; generating an action context, a filter context and a response context by a neural network, based on the tagged user input; storing by the digital assistant, a key-value pair for a parameter of the filter context at a short term memory, based on an output from the neural network; updating by the digital assistant, the key-value pair at the short term memory after receiving a reply to a follow-up request and another output from the trained neural network; and providing a response to the reply by the digital assistant.
