  • Patent number: 11991147
    Abstract: A method and a system for securely controlling a remote measurement device. A connection between at least one remote measurement device and a server, such as a server computer, connected to the Internet is established. By a firewall, the at least one remote measurement device is protected from unauthorized access via the Internet. In case of an event of the at least one remote measurement device, an event notification is sent from the at least one remote measurement device to the server via the firewall. A temporary access token is generated by the server in response to the event notification received from the remote measurement device. Access is temporarily granted to the at least one remote measurement device based on the temporary access token.
