  • Patent number: 8321337
    Abstract: There are disclosed methods and systems for identifying an embedded device to a server system so as to provide an improved permission and billing relationship. The invention enables transaction activities by networked devices, each device being connectable to at least one server and associated with at least one stakeholder, wherein each device and each stakeholder has a unique identifier, and wherein there is provided a plurality of electronic certificates each owned by a stakeholder or on behalf of a device, the certificates being held on the at least one server and comprising a data structure which, when interpreted by the at least one server, determines whether a particular device acting on behalf of a particular stakeholder is entitled to carry out a transaction.

  • Publication number: 20030145101
    Abstract: An embedded computing device and method for its use, the embedded computing device including a server application for receiving data transmitted to the embedded computing device under TCP/IP, wherein the server application is adapted to extract and buffer only predetermined portions of the transmitted data which are necessary for correct operation of the embedded computing device. There is further disclosed an embedded computing device and method for its use, the device being adapted to transmit data under TCP/IP, which data is too large to be held by available RAM in the embedded computing device, wherein the embedded computing device is adapted to intermix dynamic data content which must be held in RAM with static data content which is held in ROM, and to separate the dynamic data held in RAM from the static data content held in ROM by way of a predetermined off-line calculation mechanism which generates discrete data packets each of which will fit into an MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
