The system further includes a database that is in communication with the at least one shared device. In the system, an RFID transponder module associated with a user transmits a signal that enables the at least one shared device to identify the user. The RFID transponder module can include a fingerprint scanner module, which can be used to acquire a user's fingerprint data to authenticate the user. Thus, after identifying the user, the at least one shared device retrieves a profile corresponding to the user from the database and sets the profile. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-20. (canceled) ### Claim 21 A motor vehicle for communication with an RFID transponder module, wherein said RFID transponder module is associated with a user of said motor vehicle, the motor vehicle comprising: an RFID reader module; a database; wherein said RFID reader module is configured to receive a signal from said RFID transponder module and identify said user in response to said RFID reader module receiving said signal, wherein said motor vehicle is further configured to retrieve a profile corresponding to said user from said database in response to identifying said user, and wherein said profile includes personalized settings of said user for using said motor vehicle. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said RFID transponder module is configured to acquire biometric data, including fingerprint data, from said user and to transmit said signal if said fingerprint data matches a fingerprint template of said user's biometric data stored in said RFID transponder module. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said RFID transponder module is configured to acquire biometric data, including fingerprint data, from said user and to include said fingerprint data and a fingerprint template stored in said RFID transponder module in said signal. ### Claim 24 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said motor vehicle identifies said user by matching a voice template of said user's biometric data stored in said transponder to a voice of said user. ### Claim 25 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said RFID transponder module includes a fingerprint scanner. ### Claim 26 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said personalized settings include a seating position for said user. ### Claim 27 (depends on 21) The motor vehicle of claim 21, wherein said personalized settings include a mirror position for said user. ### Claim 28 A method for use by a motor vehicle having an RFID reader module and a database, the method comprising: receiving a signal from a RFID transponder module using said RFID reader module, wherein said RFID transponder module is associated with a user of said motor vehicle identifying said user in response to said RFID reader module receiving said signal; retrieving a profile corresponding to said user from said database in response to identifying said user; wherein said profile includes personalized settings of said user for using said motor vehicle. ### Claim 29 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said RFID transponder module is configured to acquire biometric data, including fingerprint data, from said user and to transmit said signal if said fingerprint data matches a fingerprint template of said user's biometric data stored in said RFID transponder module. ### Claim 30 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said RFID transponder module is configured to acquire biometric data, including fingerprint data, from said user and to include said fingerprint data and a fingerprint template stored in said RFID transponder module in said signal. ### Claim 31 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said motor vehicle identifies said user by matching a voice template of said user's biometric data stored in said transponder to a voice of said user. ### Claim 32 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said RFID transponder module includes a fingerprint scanner. ### Claim 33 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said personalized settings include a seating position for said user. ### Claim 34 (depends on 28) The method of claim 28, wherein said personalized settings include a mirror position for said user.
