  • Patent number: 9787621
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The sensor apparatus is paired to a subscriber account before first use, thereby allowing secure initialization.

  • Publication number: 20150332139
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event, i.e. a button press no longer than a predetermined time period, sensed by a sensor device in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The aspects of the present disclosure allow a cancel option by use of a cancel event consisting of pressing the button longer than the predetermined time period, the cancel event causing a cancel action to be executed for cancelling the response action associated with the previous trigger event.

  • Patent number: 8260814
    Abstract: The method is for granting access to data of a first object that has at least one temporally access controlled public attribute and a clock capable of measuring time independently of the clocks of other objects. A request to access a value of the public attribute of the first object is received. The value of the clock of the first object is compared with the value of the clock of at least one second object. If necessary, the clock values of the first and the second objects are synchronized. Access to the value of the attribute of the first object is granted. Also an arrangement and a computer program product are disclosed.
