  • Patent number: 9324233
    Abstract: A vehicle contact warning method and system are provided in a host vehicle. A communication device of the host vehicle receives a remote vehicle message including information pertaining to a remote vehicle including a remote vehicle location and a remote vehicle trajectory. A controller of the host vehicle prepares a host vehicle location and a host vehicle trajectory. The controller determines a possibility of contact between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle at a contact location at a contact time based on a host vehicle travel time from the host vehicle location to the contact location based on the host vehicle information and a remote vehicle travel time from the remote vehicle location to the contact location based on the remote vehicle information. The controller automatically operates an external warning device to the host vehicle, the remote vehicle, or both, upon determining the possibility of contact exists between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130075466
    Abstract: A system and method of enabling mobile image capture of a check to be presented for cashing by a consumer to a check casher via a mobile smart device, net of fees, onto the consumer's access device such as a prepaid or stored value card. The consumer enters its credential information and transmits the information to a check casher through the computer network. Once verified, the consumer enters the check amount to be cashed, agrees to the check casher's fees, endorses the check, and captures a high resolution image of the front and back of the check. A high resolution image of the front and back sides of the check is transmitted to the check casher. If approved, the full check proceeds, less the agreed to check casher's fees, are loaded onto the consumer access device for immediate use.
