A sensor device for conducting electronic transactions from a vehicle including a housing including an RFID circuit operably connected to an RFID antenna, a short range communication device, the RFID circuit and short range communication device operably connected to a processor, and a power supply. The sensor device is wirelessly connectable to a mobile communication device via the Bluetooth chip and the mobile communication device runs a software application. The RFID antenna is adapted to receive a wireless signal from a transmitter. Responsive to the wireless signal, the processor causes the short range communication device to wirelessly communicate with the mobile communication device to initiate a transaction.

Sensor device and system for communicating information

A receptacle for supporting a transponder on a support structure includes a housing having a first housing portion securable to the transponder and a second housing portion securable to the support structure. The first housing portion is pivotally secured to the second housing portion. The first housing portion and second housing portion include a shield for attenuating the transmission of electromagnetic signals. The first housing portion has a first position wherein the first housing portion and second housing portion form a chamber for enclosing the transponder and restricting the transmission of electromagnetic signals from the chamber. The first housing portion has a second position wherein the first housing portion and the transponder are displaced from the second housing portion thereby opening the chamber and exposing the transponder to permit the transmission of electromagnetic signals to and from the transponder.

Apparatus for supporting and shielding a wireless device

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a transponder holder for controlling the readability of a transponder by an interrogator. Embodiments of the transponder holder can be removable mounted to a support structure, such as a windshield of a motor vehicle. The transponder can be supported by a plate of the transponder holder, which can be moved to position the transponder in a readable position and an unreadable position to allow a user to select whether the transponder is readable by an interrogator.
