Publication number: 20230387695Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the operating of a consumption appliance by way of a selector switch controlled by an energy saving device connected to a management center. The consumption appliance is kept in its default power mode, until receiving, by the energy saving device, an authentic secured control message sent by the management center. This message includes a command onto the mode in which the consumption appliance has to be switched. A counter is initialized with an initialization value before to be triggered. The consumption appliance is switched in the mode indicated by the command, either until the counter has reached a threshold value, or until receiving another authentic control message. If the counter has reached the threshold value, then the consumption appliance is switched in its default power mode. If another authentic secured control message has been received, then returning to the step of initializing the counter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: NAGRAVISION SARLInventor: Antoine BURCKARD

Publication number: 20220358243Abstract: The present invention aims to improve data protection against illegal access by a strong differentiation of the security level specific on a type of data so that when the protection on a part of the data is violated, the remaining data are still inaccessible. A method for controlling access, via an open communication network, to user private data, comprising steps of: dividing the user private data into a plurality of categories, each category defining a privacy level of the data, encrypting the user private data of each category with a category key pertaining to the category of the data, attributing to a stakeholder an entity configured for accessing to at least one category of user private data, and authorizing the access to the at least one category of user private data for the entity of the stakeholder, by providing the stakeholder with the category keys required for decrypting the user private data of the corresponding category.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Nagravision S.A.Inventor: Antoine BURCKARD
