  • Patent number: 10453563
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a matching rule defined by a user, where the matching rule is a clear text rule, and receiving a transaction message that includes patient data from one or more health care facilities, where the patient data includes one or more patient health care events. A custom extension to a relational database is generated based on the received patient data, and the generated matching rules is applied to the received patient data at the custom extension to the relational database. Related patient event records within the custom extension to the relational database are identified and the related patient event records are configured based on the applied matching rule.

  • Patent number: 9197411
    Abstract: A method of authenticating and encrypting a client-server communication is provided. Two one-time passwords (OTP1 and OTP2) are generated from a cryptographic token. An encryption key (K_ENC) and a MAC key (K_MAC) are generated based on OTP2. The client data are prepared and protected using K_ENC and K_MAC. A request message is sent from the client to the server, and contains the protected client data, a cryptographic token identifier and OTP1. OTP1 is validated at the server, and OTP2 is generated at the server upon successful validation. K_ENC and K_MAC are derived from OTP2 at the server. The request message is processed and result data is generated. The result data is encrypted using K_ENC and a digest is created using K_MAC. The encrypted result data is sent to the client, and is decrypted using K_ENC and the authenticity of the result data is verified using K_MAC.

  • Patent number: 9167420
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for enabling interaction between a mobile device and a dynamic list of remotely hosted applications. A mobile device is provided with a removable module implementing a virtual machine defined by a set of instructions. The mobile device requests an initial application from an application server. The application server generates a message, including a set of commands and any parametric information, such as text to be displayed, which is then compiled into executable code. The executable code is then forwarded to the mobile device for execution. The mobile device interprets the executable code and runs it, possibly causing text or a menu to be displayed. In a first embodiment, the mobile device requests a list of currently available applications and is provided with such a list by a first application server. The user is then able to select from the list of applications, some which can be located on other servers.
