Abstract: A mobile device securely communicates with an electronic device within an automobile. The mobile device transmits encrypted spatial state information, and the electronic device provides commands to the automobile in response. Spatial state information may include location, motion, or the like. Commands to the automobile may include door unlock commands, remote start commands, horn honk commands, or the like.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a smartcard controller that does not rely on power received from an interrogating RF field. The mobile device also includes a small inductive device capable of inductive coupling with an RFID reader. The smartcard controller includes circuitry to modulate an impedance of a port coupled to the inductive element when in the presence of an interrogating RF field at substantially 13.56 MHz.

Abstract: An electronic transaction card communicates with an add-on slot of an intelligent electronic device. The add-on slot may be a memory card slot. The intelligent electronic device may be a mobile phone or other device with or without network connectivity. The electronic transaction card may have magnetic field producing circuitry compatible with magnetic card readers, smartcard circuitry, other point-of-sale interfaces, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A user device transmits a digital representation of a document or contract to a document or contract validation system through one or more channels. The document or contract validation system validates the document or contract before submitting the document or contract to a transaction system as a valid transaction. The digital representation of the document or contract may include one or more sets of parameters that are useful in the validation process.

Abstract: A mobile device is described with apparatus and software for fast and secure access to banking information. In at least one embodiment, a mobile device comprises an antenna; and one or more circuitries coupled to the antenna, wherein the one or more circuitries are to execute instructions to receive account information for a user directly from a financial institution based at least in part on direct interaction with the financial institution without having a device, which is not the mobile device, interact with the financial institution to gather the account information.

Abstract: A mobile device is described having an antenna to detect a communication target from a point-of-user-interaction apparatus near the mobile device. The mobile device includes a reader that initiates a transmission of a command to the point-of-user-interaction apparatus and reads a response from the point-of-user-interaction apparatus. A display unit changes its display based on the response and/or the communication target. A circuitry executes instructions to receive a first authentication information from the point-of-user-interaction apparatus. The point-of-user-interaction apparatus transmits a second authentication information to a computing device. The circuitry executes instructions to send the first authentication information to the computing device.
