Patent number: 9444266Abstract: A wireless power transfer system comprises a power transmitter (101) arranged to generate a wireless inductive power transfer signal for powering a power receiver (105). The system comprises a temperature controlled power loop setting an operating temperature for a heating part of a powered device. The system further comprises a receiver (207) for receiving a first temperature for a part of a powered device where the powered device is powered by the power receiver (105). A comparator (209) compares the measured temperature to a first reference temperature associated with the power transmitter (101).

Patent number: 9425864Abstract: A power transmitter (101) transfers power to a power receiver (105) using a wireless inductive power signal. The power transmitter (101) comprises an inductor (103) for providing the power signal and a power signal generator (207) for driving the inductor (103) to provide the power signal. The power receiver (105) comprises an inductor (107) for receiving the power signal and a transmitter (305) which transmits data messages to the power transmitter (101). The data are communicated by load modulation of the power signal in repeating load modulation intervals which are separated by intervening time intervals. The power transmitter (101) transmits data to the power receiver (105) by modulating the power signal with a message during the intervening time intervals and the power receiver demodulates the data in these time intervals.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring

Publication number: 20160149440Abstract: A wireless power transfer system includes a power transmitter (101) arranged to provide a power transfer to a power receiver (105) via a wireless inductive power signal. A parasitic power loss detector (207) is arranged to detect a parasitic power loss for the power transfer, and a user indicator (209) is arranged to initialize a user alert in response to the detection of the parasitic power loss. The system comprises an input (211) for receiving user inputs; and a controller (213) which is arranged to initiate an adaptation of a parasitic power loss detection operation performed by the parasitic power loss detector (207) to detect parasitic power losses if a user input meeting a criterion is not received. Each of the individual features may be implemented in the power transmitter (101), the power receiver (105), or may e.g. be distributed between these. The approach may allow improved foreign object detection in a wireless power transfer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2014Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: Antonius Adriaan Maria STARING, Andries VAN WAGENINGEN

Patent number: 8689346Abstract: An authentication system and method is presented for authenticating a first party to a second party, where an operation is performed on condition that the authentication succeeds. The authentication method verifies whether the first party is authenticated. If the first party is not authenticated, then it is determined if the first party qualifies for a sub-authorization. The sub-authorization depends on a value of a grace-counter associated with a number of times that first parties have been qualified for the sub-authorization. If the first party qualifies for the sub-authorization, the operation is performed and the grace counter is decremented. If the first party is authenticated, then the grace counter is set to a predetermined number.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2005Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Maurice Jerome Justin Jean-Baptiste Maes, Boris Skoric, Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring, Johan Cornelis Talstra

Publication number: 20140040143Abstract: A method and device for controlling distribution and use of a digital work stored together with an attached usage right information on a record carrier. The attached usage right information, which may be unencrypted, is verified by using a hidden information which is changed at every change of the usage right information. The hidden information may be a checksum of a data block containing the usage right information, or other encoding that may detect a change to the stored data block. Thus, a “copy and restore attack” is not successful, since it will lead to a mismatch between the hidden information and the restored usage right information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: MENNO ANNE TREFFERS, ANTONIUS ADRIAAN MARIA STARING

Patent number: 8364981Abstract: A record carrier for storing a digital work (DW) includes access information (KLT) for gaining access to the digital work and a secondary channel (HC) in which secondary channel information (KLK) is stored which is used for encrypting, decrypting or verifying the access information (KLT). In order to prevent, hinder or discourage tampering with the access information (KLT), the secondary channel (HC) is stored on the record carrier on substantially the same physical location as the access information (KLT). In a preferred embodiment, the secondary channel information (KLK) is changed when the access information (KLT) has changed. This realizes a record carrier for which a replay-attack is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2002Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring

Patent number: 8296582Abstract: In a method for providing copy-protection services on a storage medium (for instance a solid state memory module), the data are arranged in sectors to which a field (S4T) is associated, where said field contains a random value Ri which is changed randomly when writing data to said sector. By encrypting the data stored on the medium using a key which depends critically on said random numbers, bit-by-bit copies (apart from said random numbers, which can not be deterministically changed by an application) to a second storage medium or recopies from some intermediate storage medium, can not be decrypted because the values of said random numbers will have changed, thus preventing unauthorized duplication and replay attacks.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring, Pieter Bas Ijdens, Robert Jochemsen, Ronald Marcel Tol

Patent number: 8276209Abstract: A method and system for determining the level of allowed communication between devices. By addition of one or more tamper-resistant proximity check server(s), round-trip time measurements to estimate the distance between the communication devices are performed in order to determine the amount of communication allowed between these devices. In one embodiment, a single tamper-resistant proximity server computes the distance between communication devices that are implemented as trusted applications on open platforms.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2005Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Charles Leonardus Corenlius Maria Knibbeler, Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring, Menno Anne Treffers, Emmanuel David Lucas Michael Frimout, Johannes Arnoldus Cornelis Bernsen
