  • Patent number: 8862314
    Abstract: A method and system for transmitting control data between a vehicle data recorder arranged in a motor vehicle and a test device arranged outside the motor vehicle. A random code is generated by the vehicle data recorder or by the test device as a connection code. The random code is detected and input device not generating the random code. After the random code has been input into the device coupling is effected automatically via a short-distance radio link between the devices. Subsequently the control data is transmitted by the vehicle data recorder to the test device via the short-distance radio link. After the control data transmission has ended, the short-distance radio link between the vehicle data recorder and the test device is separated and the random code is deleted in the vehicle data recorder and in the test device.

  • Patent number: 8601281
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a housing with a security device, a secure first computation device, a second computation device and a sensor element. The sensor apparatus detects a temperature in the housing, to activate the first computation device only when the detected temperature is in a predefined temperature range, to determine a session key by the first computation device and to store the session key in a second memory of the second computation device, to deactivate the first computation device after the session key has been stored, to determine data on the basis of a sensor signal detected using the sensor element and to encrypt and/or sign the data by the second computation device on the basis of the session key.

  • Patent number: 8538624
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting data via a transmission path between a tachograph arranged in a vehicle, and a data processing device which is remote from the vehicle. To improve data protection, the transmission takes place via a first path section of the transmission path, which path section is arranged between the tachograph and a communication controller arranged in the vehicle, and a second wireless path section of the transmission path, which path section is arranged between the communication controller and the data processing device. The tachograph in response to an encryption request signal sent from the data processing device to the tachograph encrypts data sent from the tachograph to the data processing device. The data is transmitted in encrypted form from the tachograph to the data processing device both via the first path section and via the second path section.

  • Patent number: 8275509
    Abstract: System and method for detecting and storing at least speed as an information relevant for resignation for a tachograph system. to provide a tamperproof tachograph system offering a high degree of security. An arithmetic unit detects signals for determining the speed from at least two independent sensors and compares them with each other and stores a sensor-related error message if the signals deviate significantly from each other. The signals of at least three independent sensors are compared with each other in the arithmetic unit and are checked for their plausibility by excluding any signals that significantly deviate from a plurality of signals and determining the speed of the vehicle to be stored only using one or more of those signals that deviate from each other only within defined limits.

  • Patent number: 8239457
    Abstract: A method of transmitting electronic mail messages using the least possible data capacity. It uses a short message service, an electronic mail message and address and/or identification data for transmission of the electronic mail message in a second communications network is transmitted with a short message in a first communications network. A first header including signaling of at least one data field, including the address and/or identification data, is transmitted with the short message. A second header, indicating the presence of the first header, is transmitted with the short message. The at least one data field is transmitted outside of any header within a data portion of the short message.
