SYSTEMS FOR WIRELESS AUTHENTICATION BASED ON BLUETOOTH PROXIMITY
First Claim
1. A method for automatically logging a user to a client application, wherein the client application can run on a first device, and the client application is selected from the group consisting of an enterprise application, a mobile application, a client-server application, a web application, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application, a mobile payment application, and a Near Field Communication (NFC) payment application, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a two-way secure wireless connection between the first device and a second mobile device, the second mobile device comprising a single wireless transceiver selected from the group consisting of a BLUETOOTH transceiver, and a Wibree transceiver, wherein the second mobile device can pair wirelessly with a compatible apparatus in a first range,wherein upon pairing with a compatible apparatus in a first range, the second mobile device switches to a non-discoverable mode,wherein the second mobile device can connect to a programming device and can store user data from the programming device in flash memory onboard the second mobile device,wherein upon the first device wirelessly receiving user data from the second mobile device, the user data is authenticated by authentication means selected from the group consisting of a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server, a client application authentication means, and a remote server authentication means, wherein the user data is selected from the group consisting of a username, a password, a digital key, a public key, a private key, an encryption key, and encrypted user information, andupon successful authentication, the user is automatically logged to the client application.

8. A method for transaction authorization comprising the steps of establishing a two-way secure wireless connection between a first device having a NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) function and a second mobile device, the second mobile device comprising a single wireless transceiver selected from the group consisting of a BLUETOOTH transceiver, and a Wibree transceiver, wherein the single transceiver can pair with a second apparatus in a first range,
wherein upon pairing with a compatible apparatus in a first range, the single transceiver switches to a non-discoverable mode, upon initiation of an NFC transaction the first device will send a request to the second device, wherein the first device will authorize the transaction if it receives a response from the second device that enables the first device to authorize the transaction.

9. A unitary apparatus, comprising:
-
a flash storage means, an attachment means selected from the group consisting of a key chain, a ring, a bracelet and a clip, a single transceiver selected from the group consisting of a BLUETOOTH transceiver, and a Wibree transceiver, wherein said single transceiver can pair with a second apparatus in a first range, wherein said single transceiver can establish a secure two-way wireless connection with a paired second apparatus, wherein upon pairing with a compatible apparatus in a first range, said single transceiver can switch to a non-discoverable mode, wherein said single transceiver can send data wirelessly to said paired second apparatus, an alarm means whereby said alarm means can issue an audible sound of at least 60 decibels, a data port for connecting to a third device and for flashing user data onboard said flash storage means, whereby said user data is selected from the group consisting of a user name, a password, a seat position, a steering wheel inclination, a rear view mirror position, a side mirror position, a radio station, an internet station, a game selection, channel information, a security code, an access code, a phone book, a public key, a private key, an encryption key and a decryption key, wherein said second apparatus is selected from the group consisting of a mobile phone, a Personal Computer (PC) and a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), wherein a processor onboard said second apparatus can execute a client application, wherein said client application can request user data from said unitary apparatus, upon authentication of said user data, said user can be automatically logged in to said client application, and if said user data is not authenticated a login screen can display on said second apparatus, wherein said second apparatus further comprises a folding earpiece and a microphone, whereby when folded said apparatus automatically operates as a standard BLUETOOTH headset providing voice functionality. - View Dependent Claims (10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
