Abstract: A system comprising a plurality of transponders, each having a user interface to receive commands from a plurality of users and to operate a virtual assistant utilizing artificial intelligence. A micro-computer in an automobile that implements the virtual assistant, wherein the micro-computer configured to identify a particular user from the plurality of users based on a spoken command received via the plurality of transponders. Further, have conversations, including regarding the automobile, between the particular user and respond to future commands or questions from particular user based on prior commands or questions received from the particular user that are stored in a memory of the micro-computer.

Abstract: A system comprising a transponder having a user interface to receive commands from a user and to operate a virtual assistant. A micro-computer in an automobile, which is responsive to the transponder, and wherein the transponder and the micro-computer configured to have conversations. These include conversations regarding the automobile, and between a user of the transponder and the virtual assistant utilized by the transponder. The conversations are recorded and recallable at a later time, wherein the virtual assistant responds to future commands or questions from the user based on prior commands or questions from the user.

Abstract: A system for operating an automobile comprising a transponder having a user interface to receive commands from a user and operating as a virtual assistant, wherein the commands comprise commands for operation of a door of the automobile and a microprocessor in the automobile responsive to the transponder. The system for operating an automobile further comprising a detector subsystem configured to determine a potential strike of an object based on a determined distance to the object, wherein the microprocessor receives a communication from the transponder and wherein the automobile is configured to send a command to a door of the automobile in response to the communication. Further, the system in the automobile is configured to avoid the potential strike determined by the detector system by limiting the operation of the door and producing an alert to a user as to the potential strike.

Abstract: A method and system for trading securities on a computer-based network. The method and system utilize an ordering module, a graphical user interface, a database module and a matching engine to effect electronic securities trading.

Abstract: A computing device may compare a voice command to a voiceprint of a user. The computing device may also determine if the voice command matches the voiceprint and a security level associated with the voice command. An audible announcement may be generated by a virtual assistant (VA) based the determined voice command match and proximity to an object detected by a sensor.

Abstract: A computing system may receive based on position and a detected accident, an internet protocol (IP) packet with a safety control instruction having a security access code for the vehicle. The computing system may determine validity of the security access code and verify a security level associated with the security access code before processing the safety control instruction. Voice communications between the vehicle computing system and the remote vehicle management center may be setup based on the security level.

Abstract: A method for responding to order flow is disclosed. The method comprises establishing for a market maker a rule for automatically generating a contra order in response to an order. The rule comprises at least one condition comprising at least one characteristic describing the order. The at least one condition allowing matching based on a security in the order is in a security list specified by the market maker. The method further comprises receiving from a trader the order; matching on the computer the order to the at least one condition of the rule; automatically generating the contra order in response to the order, if the rule is satisfied; and providing the contra order for acceptance.

Abstract: A computing device may compare a voice command to a customized voiceprint of a user. The computing device may, if a result of the comparison exceeds a threshold, determine the voice command matches the voiceprint, determine a security level associated with the voice command, generate a signal comprising an audible announcement, access website related information, and utilize customized user settings.

Abstract: A vehicle computing device may receive, from a nearby vehicle, a packet with a safety control instruction having a security access code for a vehicle. A processor may be determine whether the security access code is valid and verify a security level associated with the security access code in order to process the safety control instruction.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for efficiently accessing Internet resources are disclosed. The system, method and apparatus employ a portable device for receiving and transmitting information such as contact information, voting information and medical information, for example.

Abstract: A receiver in an automobile may detect a signal from a mobile transponder within range of the automobile where the signal may have a security code. The processor may process an audible command from a user, corresponding to an automobile function, on a condition that the security code is valid. The processor may perform the automobile function if the audible command matches the voiceprint.
