Abstract: In an example of a method for locating a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna, an indication of an imminent use of the NFC antenna is received. In response to receiving the indication, a light is caused to illuminate a location of the NFC antenna, a logo of the NFC antenna, or an area within proximity of the location of the NFC antenna in a pattern.

Abstract: A vehicle system virtualizing add-on device hardware for a vehicle application. The system includes a computer-readable storage device comprising a client application, middleware components, kernel-space components, and a vehicle application. The client application communicates with an add-on-device server application for virtualizing the add-on-device hardware component at the vehicle. The middleware, in various embodiments, includes an emulated system-call application-program-interface module that receives add-on-device-hardware data from the client application, sends the data to the kernel-space components after processing, and receives the data having been processed at the kernel space. The middleware includes a frameworks-and-abstraction module that receives add-on-device-hardware data, having been processed at the kernel space and the emulated system-call-application-program-interface module and after processing sends the data for use at the vehicle application.
