1. An envoy device configured to perform a transaction with a plurality of further devices, said envoy device comprising:
- a data store;
a processor;
communication circuitry for communicating with said plurality of further devices, one of said plurality of further devices being configured to permit access to a secured vehicle or a secured room; and
a display;
wherein the processor is configured to automatically initiate a transaction between said envoy device and said one of said plurality of further devices in response to detection of one of said plurality of further devices being within a predetermined physical proximity;
wherein said transaction comprises use of a permission stored within said data store, said permission relating to said one of said plurality of further devices and comprising one or more of;
keys to locks;
passwords to computing devices;
information data regarding a user of the envoy device;
wherein, in response to said transaction completing, the processor is configured to display objects related to said transaction that it is determined said user may or may not wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy device; and
wherein the processor is configured to use a learning process to identify which of the displayed objects the user selects in response to said transaction, and then in response to a further transaction completing, the processor is configured to use the learning process to predict an object related to said further transaction the processor has determined through the learning process that the user may wish to select and to display the predicted object on the display.

Abstract
An envoy device configured to perform a transaction with a further device. The envoy device comprises: a data store; a processor; communication circuitry for communicating with the further device; and a display. The envoy device is configured to respond to detection of the further device being within a predetermined physical proximity to trigger initiation of a transaction between the devices; and to respond to the transaction completing to display an object related to the transaction that it is determined the user may wish to select to initiate a subsequent action.

22. A method of performing transactions between an envoy device and a plurality of further devices located physically close to each other, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting said envoy device and one of said plurality of further devices configured to permit access to a secured vehicle or a secured room within a predetermined physical proximity of each other; automatically initiating a transaction between said envoy device and said one of said plurality of further devices in response to detecting said predetermined physical proximity; wherein said transaction comprises use of a permission stored within said envoy device, said permission relating to said one of said plurality of further devices and comprising one or more of;
keys to locks;
passwords to computing devices;
information data regarding a user of the envoy device;in response to detecting said transaction completing; displaying objects related to said transaction, that it is determined said user may or may not wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy device; a processor in the envoy device using a learning process to identify which of the displayed objects the user selects in response to said transaction; and in response to a further transaction completing, the processor using the learning process to predict an object related to said further transaction the processor has determined through the learning process that the user may wish to select and displaying the predicted object.

23. An envoy means for performing a transaction with a plurality of further means, said envoy means comprising:
-
a data storing means; a processing means; communication means for communicating with said plurality of further means, one of said plurality of further means being configured to permit access to a secured vehicle or a secured room; and a displaying means; said processing means being for automatically initiating a transaction between said envoy means and said one of said plurality of further means in response to detection of one of said plurality of further means being within a predetermined physical proximity; wherein said transaction comprises use of a permission stored within said data storing means, said permission relating to said one of said plurality of further means and comprising one or more of;
keys to locks;
passwords to computing devices;
information data regarding a user of the envoy device;wherein, in response to said transaction completing, the processing means is configured to display objects related to said transaction that it is determined said user may or may not wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy means; and wherein the processing means is configured to use a learning process to identify which of the displayed objects the user selects in response to said transaction, and then in response to a further transaction completing, the processing means is configured to use the learning process to predict an object related to said further transaction the processing means has determined through the learning process that the user may wish to select and to display the predicted object on the display.
