  • Patent number: 11177963
    Abstract: A server accesses a user identifier associated with a first user device and a reference image as a first image set, to be displayed. The server sends to a second user device an image, as a second image set, to be displayed, and a user request to select an image within the first image set. The second user device displays the second image set and the user request. The user of the first user device selects at least one displayed first image, the selected first image matching an image visually selected within the displayed second image set, according to a rule known to the user and the server. The first user device sends to the server the first user device identifier accompanied with data relating to the selected first image. If the data relating to the selected first image matches the data relating to the first reference image the server authenticates the user.

  • Patent number: 11164468
    Abstract: A method to manage approaches to a platform (in particular at sea and operated by a helicopter) comprises the steps of receiving initial parameters and determining four particular waypoints (called IAF, IF, FAF and MAP). These flight plan points respectively determine the starting point of the approach procedure, the intermediate point corresponding to the end of the initial alignment and to the start of the capture of the final approach axis, the starting point of the final approach, and the point of decision to terminate the approach or initialize a go-around. Different developments describe different types of approaches that can be achieved by this method, the management of the descent and speed profiles, the management of the safety distances and the management of the display of the piloting instructions. Software and system aspects are described.
