Abstract: A basis image is captured by an image capture device and transmitted to a computing unit. A gesture of a user of the computing unit is identified by the computing unit based on the basis image. An action is determined and executed by the computing unit depending on the identified gesture. The action is determined by the computing unit for at least one of the gestures in addition in dependence on a relative position of the image capture device relative to a display device. No later than upon capturing the basis image, an additional image is captured by at least one additional image capture device and transmitted to the computing unit. On the basis of the additional image, the relative position of the image capture device relative to the display device is determined by the computing unit.

Abstract: A system, a method and a computer program product for monitoring a screen configuration process for a sequence of medical images on a remote client are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a central server includes a rendering module and a marker generator in order to mark the sequence of images to be displayed as a DESIRED sequence of images and transfer it to the remote client. In addition to a remote-client application, an observer module and a warning signal transmitter are provided on the remote client. The observer module is used to compare the DESIRED sequence of images with the ACTUAL sequence of images. In the event of a lack of conformity, the warning signal transmitter issues a warning signal on the remote-client monitor.

Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for the remote control of a viewer via a remote application. Communication between the control application and the viewer, installed on a remote computer, takes place via an agent. The agent exchanges data with the viewer via two communication channels, an RDP connection and an RVIC channel. In an embodiment, each image in a sequence of images to be displayed is identified by an identifier and assigned to a transmission indicator. The transmission indicator indicates how the image is to be transmitted (lossless or lossy). The agent then generates a modified dedicated sequence of images, which is transmitted to the viewer. The viewer is then able to check the reliability of the received modified sequence of images.

Abstract: A method and a device for pressing a book block over the rounded back of a book block having a longitudinal axis extending in the center and along the back. The book block is clamped between two clamping jaws of a clamping device, in a region adjacent to the back of the book block, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the back. A pressing device presses a pressing member against the back, wherein the pressing member is placed approximately in the center of the back onto the book block back. At least a section of the pressing member is then moved across the back. Once the pressing member, which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the back, is placed onto the back it then moves along at least one continuously preselected movement path over the back.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for processing patient-based data sets, which each include medical data and sensitive patient data as plain data. The sensitive patient data of each patient-based data sets are anonymized to generate anonymized patient-based data; test data from each patient-based data set is generated from the respective sensitive patient data and incorporated in the respective patient-based data set via an algorithm; anonymized patient-based data sets and the test data are made available in a cloud computing architecture; sensitive patient data about a patient is predefined within the context of processing a specific patient-based data set on a client computer attached to the cloud computing architecture and enquiry data is generated from the predefined sensitive patient data via the algorithm; and a security function is triggered if the test data from the specific patient-based data set does not agree with the enquiry data about the selected patient.

Abstract: A communication link can be established by way of a radio interface between a first mobile communication facility and a second mobile or permanently stationary communication facility. In at least one embodiment, an item of identification information is made available by one of the communication facilities as an optical signal for receipt at the cited sensor; the communication facility, to which the sensor receiving the optical signal belongs, accepts the identification information and transfers the accepted identification information as a request to set up a communication link via the radio interface with the communication facility, which makes or has made the optical signal available. The requested communication facility implements a comparison between the accepted identification information and its own identification information and permits the setup of the communication link as a function of the comparison result.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the computing unit determines a spherical volume region corresponding to a sphere and lying in front of a display device and the midpoint of the volume region. Furthermore, the computing unit inserts manipulation possibilities related to the output image into image regions of the output image. An image capture device captures a sequence of depth images and communicates it to the computing unit. The computing unit ascertains therefrom whether and, if appropriate, at which of a plurality of image regions the user points with an arm or a hand, whether the user performs a predefined gesture that differs from pointing at the output image or an image region, or whether the user performs a grasping movement with regard to the volume region. Depending on the result of the evaluation, the computing unit may activate a manipulation possibility, perform an action, or rotates the three-dimensional structure.
