20130028411 | Simple Group Security for Machine-to-Machine Networking (SGSM2M) - A group identity for a set of devices is generated by acquiring an identity for each one of the devices and joining the identities into a common identity data set. A group identity for the set of devices is created by performing a hash function on the common identity set and using a resulting hash value as the group identity. A group identity for a set of devices is verified by acquiring a first group identity from a trusted party. An identity is acquired from each device in the set and the identities are joined into a common identity data set and a second group identity is created for the set of devices by performing a hash function on the common identity data set. A determination is made whether there is a match between the first group identity and the second group identity. | 01-31-2013 |
20130064090 | Load Balancing Method and System for Peer-To-Peer Networks - System and method for balancing a number of incoming connections of nodes connected to a peer-to-peer network. The method includes receiving at a selecting node information about out-finger candidates. The information includes at least a quantifiable parameter for the out-finger candidates and the out-finger candidates are possible nodes to be connected to the selecting node. The method includes calculating in the selecting node, for each node of the out-finger candidates, a probability value by using a predetermined probability function that uses as input the corresponding quantifiable parameter; and selecting one node from the out-finger candidates to be an out-finger node for the selection node based on the probability value. The probability value is associated with a number of in-finger connections to the selected out-finger node. | 03-14-2013 |
20140029515 | Device Connectivity Management for Machine Type Communications - Methods for managing device connectivity of machine type communications devices include receiving a packet data protocol based command addressed to a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device, determining if the MTC device has an active packet data protocol context, in response to determining that the MTC device does not have an active packet data protocol context, activating a packet data protocol context for the MTC device, and forwarding the packet data protocol based command to the MTC device. | 01-30-2014 |
20140139315 | VICINITY-BASED MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION - The invention relates to a wireless device, configured for ensuring authentication of a user, to a reference unit configured for ensuring authentication of a user of the wireless device and to a method for ensuring authentication of a user. The wireless device comprises a checking unit configured for scanning a distance to a reference unit and for checking if the distance scanned lies within a predetermined range such that authentication of the user is ensured. In this way, a wireless device is provided which is simple and cost-effective to realize and increases security by making sure that the rightful owner is available without the need of asking for PIN codes, passwords or other measures, such as biometric recognition, i.e. voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, retina recognition and the like. | 05-22-2014 |
20140142851 | Haptic Feedback Enabled Navigation System Using Short Range Radio Technologies - The invention relates to a haptic navigation system, configured for providing a haptic instruction to a user, and to a method for providing a haptic instruction to a user. The haptic navigation system comprises a navigation module comprising a route calculation unit, configured for calculating at least one route for the user to go to a predetermined destination, and a user interaction unit, configured for capturing at least one input parameter from the user, and a feedback unit configured for receiving an instruction sent from the navigation module and for converting the instruction received into a haptic instruction such that the user find the correct route. In this way, a haptic navigation system is provided which is reliable, cost-effective to realize and can easily be integrated into existing navigation systems while at the same time making it possible to get rid of displays or voice recognition in navigation applications. | 05-22-2014 |
20140157526 | Connecting Clothes and Washing Machine - A washing system and to a method for washing clothing is disclosed. In some embodiments, the washing system comprises: a washing unit for washing clothing items, a tag connected to a clothing item (the tag being configured for transmitting one or more predetermined parameters associated with the clothing item), and a computing unit for receiving the one or more predetermined parameters transmitted from the tag. The computing unit is configured to send to the washing unit an instruction in dependence on the parameters received from tags attached to clothing situated in the washing unit such that a setting of the washing unit is adjusted for washing the clothing items situated in the washing unit. In this way, a possibility is provided for automatically getting the information about whether correct colours are combined, whether the washing temperature and other parameters are correct, and how many clothes are inside the washing unit. | 06-12-2014 |
20140158754 | ITEM AUTHENTICITY - This disclosure relates to, among other things, a checking system for checking the authenticity of a product. In some embodiments, the system comprises: a tag, connectable to the product, that comprises an identity parameter of the product; a scanning unit configured for obtaining the identity parameter from the tag; and a database configured for storing a plurality of predetermined identity parameters, wherein the scanning unit sends the obtained identity parameter to the database, and the database compares the received identity parameter with the plurality of predetermined identity parameters stored and sends to the scanning unit information about the authenticity of the product. In this way, a user may obtain information about whether a product is authentic or fake. | 06-12-2014 |
20140181926 | METHOD AND MOBILE DEVICE FOR GENERATING A DATA AUTHENTICATION KEY - The invention relates to a method for generating a data authentication key for allowing data communication over a wireless channel between a first mobile device and a second mobile device, comprising: associating said mobile devices to each other by means of said key. The invention comprises: allowing a shared physical or mechanical condition to be applied generally simultaneously upon said devices; detecting, in said first mobile device, said condition; defining, in said first mobile device, said authentication key based on the detected condition; and transmitting said key to said second mobile device. The invention also relates to a mobile device configured for generating a data authentication key for allowing data communication over a wireless channel to a further mobile device. | 06-26-2014 |
