Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and show a vehicle identification system that includes a programmable application for database management of a plurality of customer-specific vehicle descriptors. The vehicle identification system also includes a mobile computing platform in a mobile satellite communications system adapted to operatively associate the customer-specific vehicle descriptors with a vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying individuals, accessing and updating background information and directing appropriate personal interactions through use of an automatically readable tag, such as an RFID tag. Information encoded on the tag is communicated to a computer system that has a database, wherein identification information encoded on the tag is used as a key to retrieve the relevant background information and communicate that information to a portable display device. The system also takes a photograph of the individual being identified and automatically sends the photograph to the portable display device.

Abstract: Digital cameras are arranged at points of interest in a recreational venue to automatically photograph individuals participating in activities at such points in response to detection of identifying parameters uniquely to corresponding to respective individuals, such as respective radio frequency identification (RFID) tag code. The photographs are automatically transmitted for storage in a database from which they may be accessed for viewing or printing upon presentation and recognition of the identifying parameter.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying individuals, accessing and updating background information regarding such individuals and directing appropriate personal interaction with the individuals. Presence of the individual may be detected by recognition of a biometric feature or by use of an automatically readable tag, such as an RFID tag. Information regarding the individual, such as a unique code corresponding to that individual, may be communicated to a computer system that has a database in connection with which the code is used as a key to retrieve relevant background information, which is then communicated over a wireless link to a portable display device. The system may also automatically capture an image of an individual being identified and may then transmit that image over a wireless link to the portable display device. Various systems may employ multiple RFID scanners, facial recognition, various image capture devices, and multiple portable display devices, such as PDA's.
