Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an automated system may be implemented in which alerts to drivers are automatically distributed and implemented at the driver's vehicle. Thus, in some embodiments, no involvement by the driver is needed and everything may be done in an automated fashion including filtering alerts and responding to alerts. In some embodiments, each vehicle need not provide its current location to the Amber Alert System, providing greater privacy in some cases.

Abstract: Applications are downloaded to a device from a cloud-based service by establishing trust with between the device and a host system. The host system and the cloud-based service have a pre-existing trust relationship.

Abstract: A method for assembling authorization certificate chains among an authorizer, a client, and a third party allows the client to retain control over third party access. The client stores a first certificate from the authorizer providing access to a protected resource and delegates some or all of the privileges in the first certificate to the third party in a second certificate. The client stores a universal resource identifier (URI) associated with both the first certificate and the third party and provides the second certificate and the URI to the third party. The third party requests access to the protected resource by providing the second certificate and the URI, without knowledge or possession of the first certificate. When the authorizer accesses the URI, the client provides the first certificate to the authorizer, so that the client retains control over the third party's access.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method to identify a region of an image including a barcode based on, at least in part, an entity specific feature associated with the barcode; detect a codeword boundary for the barcode based on, at least in part, an adaptive boundary determination mechanism; and decode the codeword based on, at least in part, a plurality of metrics associated with the entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to augmenting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features of a vehicle with image processing support in on-board vehicle platform are described herein. Images may be received from one or more image sensors associated with an ADAS of a vehicle. The received images may be processed. An action is determined based upon, at least in part, the processed images. A message is transmitted to an ADAS controller responsive to the determination.

Abstract: A three-way trust relationship is established between a mobile device, Internet-connected vehicle system, and a cloud-based service. Access rights are granted to the mobile device from the vehicle system, such that the mobile device can securely connect to, and obtain status information and/or control the Internet-connected vehicle system, through the cloud-based service.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, in response to the detection of a particular event, an event data recorder may enter a secure mode. In the secure mode, data from various peripherals is collected over a secure channel and stored in a secure memory within the event data recorder. That data may subsequently be read out under secure conditions with an assurance of reliability while the system is in a secure mode, it may continue to collect data in a non-secure mode in parallel.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring network security include obtaining non-packet flow information, evaluating a policy rule based on the obtained information, and proposing a security arrangement based on the evaluation. The non-packet flow information can include, for example, authentication information obtained during an Internet Key Exchange protocol session or information obtained from a layered service provider. Therefore, policies such as Internet Protocol security (IPsec) policies can be defined and implemented so that they more accurately reflect the network's security requirements.

Abstract: A wireless flash drive may use a Near Field Communication (NFC) radio link with a second device to establish a second, non-NFC, radio link with the second device, and then use the non-NFC link to wirelessly transfer data between the second device and the non-volatile memory in the flash drive. Some embodiments may also have other features, such as a switch to activate the non-NFC link without using the NFC link, a battery to power the non-NFC radio and the non-volatile memory, inductive charging circuitry to wirelessly recharge the battery, or instructions to be uploaded to the second device for use in establishing the non-NFC link.

Abstract: Technologies for transferring Near Field Communications information on a computing device include storing information corresponding to services in a database on the computing device, receiving a voice input corresponding to a name of a requested service, and retrieving the information corresponding to the requested service from the database. Such technologies may also include loading the retrieved information corresponding to the requested service into a Near Field Communications tag emulated by the computing device and transferring the retrieved information to a portable computing device in response to the Near Field Communications tag being touched by a Near Field Communications reader of the portable computing device.

Abstract: Speech recognition is performed utilizing a dynamically maintained set of grammar elements. A plurality of grammar elements may be identified, and the grammar elements may be ordered based at least in part upon contextual information. In other words, contextual information may be utilized to bias speech recognition. Once a speech input is received, the ordered plurality of grammar elements may be evaluated, and a correspondence between the received speech input and a grammar element included in the plurality of grammar elements may be determined.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, multiple navigation changes to a navigation system may be managed. The navigation system may receive and first set of navigation changes. Then, the navigation system may establish communication with a user device. The navigation system may then receive a second set of navigation changes associated with the user device. As a result, the navigation system may merge the first set of navigation changes with the second set of navigation changes.
