<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a proxy-based transaction authorization system. <P>SOLUTION: A vehicle in which a responsive object is present is outfitted with a proxy. The proxy is configured such that it is better able than the responsive object to receive current position-determining signals from GPS satellites or from another current position-determining source. The proxy is configured such that it is better able than the responsive object to receive inquiry signals from a querying device and to represent those responsive object's location. The vehicle is also outfitted with (i) one or more sensors that detect the responsive objects that are present at the vehicle and (ii) one or more sensors that detect state information of the vehicle. Both sets of the sensors provide information to the proxy. The responsive-object sensors are able to query each responsive object in the same way that the querying device queries those objects in the prior art. The state of the vehicle includes the vehicle's location, its destination, its weight, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure inside and/or outside the vehicle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
