  • Patent number: 8014528
    Abstract: A method is provided for accessing a user operable device having limited access ability. The method comprises transmitting an inquiry from a mobile device of a user via a wide area transmission network to a key authority for obtaining an access key for accessing functions of the user operable device, receiving a request for information from the key authority, transmitting the requested information to the key authority, wherein the information is used by the key authority for co-coding the access key with one or more conditions for operating the user operable device, receiving the access key assigned by the key authority via the wide area transmission network, and transmitting the access key to a controller unit of the user operable device via a short range communication network for accessing the functions of the user operable device.

  • Patent number: 7457418
    Abstract: Method for accessing a user operable device having a limited access ability by a user. Therefore a user transmits an inquiry using a mobile device via a wide area transmission network to a key authority. The key authority retransmits an electronic access key. This access key is stored in the mobile device and later transmitted to a controller unit controlling the access the user operable device allowing the user to operate on it.

  • Patent number: 6622279
    Abstract: A computer for data processing and a method for data processing using a computer, each of which is used for reversing, with the aid of a circuit arrangement, the bit sequence of the information, which was coded with a reversible Huffman code, when an error occurs, so that the computer decodes the reversed bit sequences using a suitable code table. In the computer, a data buffer is connected to a register in such a way that the bit sequence is reversed when transferred from the data buffer to the register. The bit sequence is not reversed when it is retransferred from the register into the data buffer. In this way, information which is located after the error does not get lost. Since to reverse the bit sequence, the end of the bit sequence, designated by a synchronization bit sequence, must be found, the synchronization bit sequence is disposed at byte boundaries due to padding bits. In this way, synchronization bit sequences are located only at byte boundaries.
