  • Patent number: 9800557
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to operating a data processing system. An aspect includes receiving a request for data storage by an application server, said request comprising restricted-access data. Another aspect includes processing the request in the first application server thereby extracting said restricted-access data from the request. Another aspect includes encrypting said restricted-access data with a cryptographic key associated with said privacy regime to a cipher representation. Another aspect includes defining a masking rule relative to the field designated for storage of the cipher representation, the masking rule defining a set of privacy regimes applicable to processing of the restricted-access data. Another aspect includes forwarding the cipher representation and the masking rule to the shared database by a database client.

  • Patent number: 9729638
    Abstract: A communication device for wireless communication in a mobile radio network is included in a controller installed in a motor vehicle. The controller also includes a connection device which connects to at least one bus system of the motor vehicle and a computer device for controlling the exchange of data between the at least one bus system and the mobile radio network and/or an external network. The communication device has, in addition to a connection to a controller-external mobile radio antenna, an additional mobile radio antenna which is integrated into the controller and is to be used in the event of failure of the controller-external mobile radio antenna. The communication device outputs an emergency call signal to the mobile radio network when an emergency trigger signal is received via the bus system and/or some other communication connection.

  • Patent number: 9317697
    Abstract: Embodiments related to processing of restricted-access data. An aspect includes receiving a request for data from a user by a storage system infrastructure comprising a centralized database that stores non-restricted access data and a local system that stores restricted-access data associated with a first set of areas or entities and comprising a federated database for providing a federated view, wherein the requested data comprises restricted-access first data and non-restricted access second data. Another aspect includes based on an association of the user, routing, by a routing entity, the request to the local system. Another aspect includes receiving the request at the at least one federated database of the local system. Another aspect includes retrieving from the federated database the restricted-access first data and the non-restricted access second data.
