  • Publication number: 20240190161
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for unique marking and to a method for the identification of products by identifying production inaccuracies in the spectral range of up to 3000 nm and to the use of said method for the unique identification of products/documents in serialization systems and/or track and trace systems and for document authentication. In order to increase the number of production inaccuracies up to a spectral range of up to 3000 nm, photoluminescent materials which, under photon excitation, emit radiation in the range of up to 3000 nm, preferably in the range of 750 to 1800 nm, most preferably in the range of 800 to 1100 nm, can be used. Said photoluminescent materials make it possible for production inaccuracies to be sensed from the spectral range of visible light (380 to 750 nm), via the near-infrared (NIR) range, to a spectral range of up to 3000 nm.

  • Publication number: 20240184904
    Abstract: Provided is a method for managing at least one unique data record, in particular a digital work of art, at a unique data record platform including the following steps receiving at the unique data record platform a creation request comprising raw data; creating, at the unique data record platform, the unique data record based on the raw data; verifying the uniqueness of the unique data record within at least a part of a unique data record ecosystem including the unique data record platform and/or at least one module associated with it; integrating, at the unique data record platform, the unique data record into the unique data record ecosystem on the basis of the uniqueness verification process; and automatically limiting access to the raw data used for creating the unique data record in the unique data record platform.

  • Patent number: 11317145
    Abstract: Examples relate to a method, a computer program, an apparatus and a system for determining information related to an audience of an audio-visual content program. The method comprises monitoring at least a subset of the audience. The method further comprises determining the information related to the audience based on the monitored subset of the audience. The information related to the audience comprises measured metrics for the subset of the audience. The method further comprises determining at least one conversion factor based on a relationship between a property value measured within at least one previously monitored audience subsets and the corresponding property value of the previous audience. The at least one conversion factor indicates a relationship between a property measured within the monitored subset of the audience and at least one property of the audience. The method further comprises estimating the at least one property of the audience based on the at least one conversion factor.
