Abstract: Automotive mirrors may be replaced by a multi-lens-equipped touchscreen to enable mirrorless driving that may help open a new avenue for identifying energy-saving and environment-friendly solutions to enhance driving safety by harnessing vehicle traffic to incentivize a mixed reality. The mirrorless driving may eventually encompass not just vehicular black boxes and rearview backup cameras but also ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System).

Abstract: A method, computer system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software for performing wireless payment of road tolls from a vehicle. An in-vehicle device includes a way for a vehicle occupant to communicate input to the device, as well as a screen for outputting data to the vehicle occupant. The device communicates with a base station, exchanging various codes and data, including a method of payment for the toll selected by the vehicle occupant. Eventually, the device acquires a Gate ID code from the base station, which is then transmitted to the tollroad gate prior to the vehicle passing that tollroad gate. Codes are created using a particular described approach.

Abstract: Vehicle-mounted video cameras, if and when wirelessly connected via a hybrid transceiver of satellite and terrestrial links and either through a randomly-formed vehicle-to-vehicle network, or via mobile web links, may enable motorists behind the wheel to remotely see either on a navigator screen, or on a screen of mobile equipment, inclusive of handsets and tablet PCs, any real-time video images of traffic and/or street scenes, far beyond physical limits of human eyesight. In pursuing the said peer-to-peer advantages, the real-time street views targeted in any directions can be picked at the discretion of motorists, by transmitting the location-based inquiry to the targeted on-vehicle cameras, by tapping on an in-vehicle touchscreen or a mobile device screen and also by activating voice commands, if necessary.

Abstract: DriveOn Pay™ is a location-based Privacy-friendly dashtop mobile payment platform (DMPP), based on mobile WiMAX IEEE 802-16e-2005. It is an all-in-one solution geared to integrate all other dashtop gadgets in view of the growing necessity of the real-time bridge syncing cyberworld and real world, which is central to mobile broadband technology. The VIN-based Menu-Driven Fail-safe 5-mile-range DMPP envisions a BS and a Touchscreen On-Vehicle CPE named VIMO™, powered by the vehicle battery. It works as an Unmanned Booth-free Toll-Collection Maximizer at any vehicle speed; Transportation Hub Security Enforcer for non-linear surveillance of passengers plus non-passengers, both indoors and outdoors; ‘JIT e-Commerce on the Go’ (JITeCGO) Creator; Ticket-free Biometrics-free Remote Check-In & Admission Optimizer for ballparks, expos, parking garages, and transportation hubs.
