Abstract: A system and method of identifying food or beverage products are disclosed. An image of the product is captured along with data indicating where the product is in the image, for example, data from a stereoscopic camera. The portion of the image showing the product is extracted and its features are compared with predetermined models of a range of products to determine a preliminary identity of the product. As a cross-check, physical properties of the product are obtained, such as weight and temperature, and these are compared with expected physical properties corresponding to the potential identity. If the physical properties of the product are consistent with the expected physical properties, then the preliminary identity of the product is the identity of the product.

Abstract: As part of the process for controlling entry and exit in parking garages and parking facilities, the entrance or exit, in front of which a vehicle stands, is determined on the basis of a location determination of the vehicle, where the location information shall be transmitted by means of the mobile device via a wireless or mobile phone standard to a server, which is capable of controlling the parking barriers of entrances and exits after locating the vehicle, where in the case that the owner of the mobile device is already registered on the server, the user ID is also sent to the server and in the case that the owner of the mobile device is not registered on the server, the registration is done by means of the mobile device via the connection to the server and a user ID is assigned after registration, where the entrance or exit, in front of which the vehicle stands, is determined on basis of the data of location determination in the server, where a ticket in electronic form linked with the user ID is sent to

Abstract: In a method for controlling a device requiring user-related permissions via a mobile terminal using a local data connection between the mobile terminal and the device to be controlled, the control commands requiring user-related permissions for the device to be controlled are generated by means of an interaction between the mobile device and an authentication server and/or a device management server and are transferred to the device to be controlled from the authentication and/or device management server via the mobile terminal. The control commands requiring user-related permissions for the device to be controlled are received by the mobile terminal and are thereafter transferred to the device to be controlled for the purpose of controlling the same and are not stored in the mobile terminal. The control commands received by the device to be controlled are not verified as to the permission of the user to utilize these control commands.
