  • Patent number: 11830303
    Abstract: A system to remotely flash an external module, the system comprising an external module installable in a secured location having at least one securing device with a transponder, at least one server, wherein the at least one server and a communication hub that communicates said at least one server, said communication hub further comprising a communication device that extracts key data from the securing device's transponder. Additional embodiments of the system include an external module and a learning module that extract partial key data. A method to flash the external module by extracting at least one set of partial key data from the securing device's transponder and/or securing device using an external module, communication device, and/or learning module, wherein the server analyzes and processes the set(s) of partial key data to generate a securing device bypass for the external module that installed to the secured location.

  • Patent number: 10393083
    Abstract: A remote vehicle starter system for vehicles with manual transmission with improved safeguards for preventing the vehicles from being remotely started while the manual transmission is in gear. The remote vehicle starter system for vehicles with manual transmission may also include additional safeguards to prevent the vehicles from being remotely started when there is a risk that the vehicle may move upon being remotely started, such as when the door has been opened after the vehicle has been placed in state safe for remote start.

  • Publication number: 20090112739
    Abstract: Product supply management system and methods are provided. The system and methods are typically adapted to be used with the manufacture, distribution and sale of programmable electronic devices. The method generally comprises the tracking of each programmable device through each participant in the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the retailer, and the programming of each programmable device at the retailer's premise with generally individualized software. The tracking information, collected via different stations and transmitted to a central server via a communication network, is then typically used to identify each of the participants in the supply chain through which each of the programmable devices has transited. This tracking information is then typically used to monitor inventory and to redistribute commissions to each participant.
