  • Publication number: 20120098647
    Abstract: A method and systems for inputting user instructions to central controller of a service provider. The user instruction is inputted based on transmission of RFID identification data of a RFID transponder to the central controller. The RFID identification data of a RFID transponder is transmitted to a RFID transceiver, having a RFID transceiver identification, over an RFID interface. The RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification are then forwarded to the central controller of the service provider over a network connection between the RFID transceiver and the central controller, causing the central controller to select specific user instruction based on the RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification. The selected specific user instruction then causes the central controller to apply corresponding adjustment to operations that relate to the one or more electronic devices corresponding to the user of the RFID transponder.

  • Patent number: 8089358
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a device for inputting user instructions of a user-controllable telecommunication device. An RFID transponder is introduced into a sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver and the RFID identification data of the RFID transponder is transmitted to the RFID transceiver. The RFID identification data and/or RFID transceiver identification are transmitted to a collection module by the RFID transceiver. An assigned user instruction is selected by the collection module and by tables containing RFID identification data and tables containing RFID transceiver identifications accessible by the collection module and controlling the user-controllable telecommunication device by the collection module in accordance with the selected user instruction.

  • Patent number: 7801492
    Abstract: Proposed are a method and a system for management of resources of portable resource modules, each connected to a communication terminal, which modules comprise electronic memory units and are designed in particular as chipcards. A first resource management instruction comprising a module identification is transmitted to a resource management center. A second resource management instruction is transmitted from the resource management center via a communication network to the resource module identified through the module identification. In the particular resource module, resources are made ready or released by a resource control mechanism corresponding to the received second resource management instruction. A resource management confirmation is transmitted by the particular resource module via the communication network to the resource management center, and in the resource management center information about the resources made ready or released is stored assigned to the module identification.

  • Patent number: 7509098
    Abstract: Proposed are a method and a system for management of resources of portable resource modules (1, 1?), each connected to a communication terminal (2, 2?, 2?), which modules comprise electronic memory units (11) and are designed in particular as chipcards. A first resource management instruction comprising a module identification is transmitted to a resource management centre (4). A second resource management instruction is transmitted from the resource management centre (4) via a communication network (3) to the resource module (1) identified through the module identification. In the particular resource module (1), resources are made ready or released by a resource control mechanism (111) corresponding to the received second resource management instruction.

  • Patent number: 7249111
    Abstract: Method for distribution of value codes configured to be cashed in to obtain credit for services subject to charges. The value codes are generated and stored in a database of a value code issuer. A value code is ordered by a customer through transmission of order data, containing at least one monetary amount value, via an order channel, to the value code issuer. A delivery number, linked in the database with the value code, is transmitted via a delivery channel to the customer, and the receipt of the transmitted delivery number is confirmed by the customer through transmission of at least one part of the delivery number via a confirmation channel to the value code issuer. A value, linked in the database to the monetary amount value, is transmitted via a delivery channel to the customer, and a monetary amount value corresponding to at least the monetary amount value linked to the confirmed value code is charged to the customer.

  • Patent number: 7203695
    Abstract: A method and system using a framework to implement an audit process. An embodiment of a method for using a framework for implementing an audit process includes storing a set of requirements associated with a first audit type, receiving an input of a second audit type, and associating at least one of the requirements with the second audit type. The method enables a processor to define different types of audits and assign at least one requirement to the different types. As such, the processor may create a requirement only once. Exemplary applications include educational institution audits for admissions and degree completion.
