1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor to;
detect a first presence of a driver in a vehicle; and
detect a second presence of a passenger in the vehicle;
a memory to;
store first sensitive information for the driver of the vehicle; and
store second sensitive information for the passenger in the vehicle, wherein the first and second sensitive information comprises financial information of the driver and the passenger, respectively; and
a processor in communication with the sensor and the memory, the processor to;
receive the first presence and second presence;
provide a user interface for the passenger to enter the second sensitive information;
receive the second sensitive information for the passenger;
associate the second sensitive information with the vehicle;
send the second sensitive information to the memory for storage; and
while the vehicle is in motion, communicate with an external third party positioned along a selected route of the vehicle to perform a financial transaction on behalf of the passenger using the second sensitive information, wherein the external third party is a vendor, wherein the processor is programmed to initiate automatically the financial transaction on behalf of the passenger, wherein the financial transaction is initiated by a request from the vendor, and wherein, in response to the request, the processor pre-filters an associated transaction request before presenting the transaction request to the driver or passenger by a different second user interface.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for detecting a driver and passenger in a vehicle. The vehicle processor stores first and second sensitive information for the driver and passenger, respectively. In response to detecting the second presence of the passenger, provides a user interface for the passenger to enter the second sensitive information, receives and associates the second sensitive information with the vehicle and, while the vehicle is in motion, communicates with an external third party positioned along a selected route of the vehicle to perform a transaction on behalf of the passenger using the second sensitive information.

11. A method for associating sensitive information of a passenger with a vehicle, comprising:
-
detecting, by a processor, a first presence of a driver in a vehicle; detecting, by the processor, a second presence of a passenger in the vehicle; receiving, by the processor, the first presence and second presence; providing, by the processor, a user interface for the passenger to enter the sensitive information of the passenger; receiving, by the processor, the sensitive information of the passenger; associating, by the processor, the sensitive information of the passenger with the vehicle; storing, by the processor, the sensitive information of the passenger in the vehicle; while the vehicle is in motion, communicating, by the processor, with a remote third party positioned along a selected route of the vehicle to perform a financial transaction on behalf of the passenger using the sensitive information of the passenger, wherein the external third party is a vendor, wherein the processor initiates automatically the financial transaction on behalf of the passenger, wherein the financial transaction is initiated by a request from the vendor, and wherein, in response to the request, the processor pre-filters an associated transaction request before presenting the transaction request to the driver or passenger by a different second user interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A vehicle, comprising:
-
two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas to communicate wirelessly first and second sensitive information associated with a driver or passenger, respectively, of the vehicle, the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle; two or more RF transceivers, each RF transceiver associated with one of the two or more RF antennas, the two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly the first and second sensitive information; a sensor to; detect a first presence of a driver in a vehicle; and detect a second presence of a passenger in the vehicle; a memory to; store the first sensitive information for the driver of the vehicle; and store the second sensitive information for a passenger in the vehicle; and a processor in communication with the two or more RF transceivers, sensor and the memory, the processor to; receive the first presence and second presence; provide a user interface for the passenger to enter the second sensitive information; receive the second sensitive information for the passenger; associate the second sensitive information with the vehicle; send the second sensitive information to the memory for storage; determine which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a signal source associated with a vendor positioned along a selected route of the vehicle; select a first RF transceiver of the two or more RF transceivers associated with an RF antenna of the two or more RF antennas with the strongest signal to send the first or second sensitive information to the signal source; and while the vehicle is in motion, communicate with the signal source and send the second sensitive information to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the signal source to perform a transaction on behalf of the passenger using the second sensitive information.
