Abstract: The subject innovation relates to a method for providing data-based services via a terminal The method includes identifying a mobile terminal device of a user, identifying the terminal, linking the terminal to the mobile terminal device so that data-based services can be downloaded via the terminal and the costs associated with these data-based services can be charged to the mobile terminal device. The subject innovation also relates to a correspondingly adapted terminal and system. Data-based services may be requested via a terminal, and the costs may be charged to the mobile terminal device, without the mobile terminal device being involved in the provision of the data-based service.

Abstract: A fault tolerant electronic braking system for a vehicle has a brake pedal arranged to provide an electronic signal in response to operation thereof. A number of braking nodes are coupled to the brake pedal, each node being arranged to control a brake actuator. Each brake node has a controller arranged for processing the first signal to provide a second signal for controlling the brake actuator, and for providing third signals for transmission to the other control means. The third signals are the expected second signal results of the other controllers. Each controller is arranged to compare the second signal with the third signals received from the other controllers such that errors detected between the second and third signals indicate faults in the controllers.
