Patent number: 11930353Abstract: In a method for monitoring or tracking between mobile devices of a same group, mobile devices broadcast messages in broadcast mode over a radio interface in compliance with a short-range digital communication protocol. The messages can be received by all other mobile devices in the vicinity and can communicate according to the protocol. The messages include encrypted data encrypted using at least one identifier of the emitter device and a seed intended for single use or having a short period of validity. The encrypted data can only be decrypted by a limited group of devices. The mobile devices receive messages broadcast by other devices and decrypt the messages intended for a group to which they belong. If the protocol provides that the message includes an address field of the emitter device, this field is filled with a randomised address intended for single use or having a short period of use.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Tissot SAInventor: Jean-Marc Koller
