  • Patent number: 7817990
    Abstract: A method of ordering location-specific services in which RFID or NFC interaction between an RFID or NFC-enabled portable device or a mobile telephone of a user, on the one hand, and a location and service-specific smartposter comprising at least one RFID or NFC label or tag or a location and service-specific RFID or NFC label affixed to an object such as a smartposter, on the other hand, is used to set up an activatable link to the portable device or mobile telephone. A connection to a server operated by the service provider is established following link activation. Location information relating to the RFID or NFC label is communicated to the service provider's server, the contents of the server page corresponding to the link depending on the location information transmitted by the RFID or NFC label. The user is then capable of ordering location-specific services after the connection has been set up.

  • Patent number: 7455228
    Abstract: A device for controlling passage in two passage directions has a blocking device for the singling of persons and a card reading unit having a slot for inserting a card, both disposed on a frame. The card reading unit, which upon validly reading the card actuates the blocking device for releasing the passage, is slewably mounted on the frame and is slewable with an actuator as to direct the card insertion slot to a person stepping in front of the blocking device from both the one or the other passage direction.
