  • Patent number: 11269607
    Abstract: A method for generating and providing a mobile application executable on a mobile device, and designed for the configuration, maintenance, diagnosis of data and functions of a data processing device, and coupled to the mobile device via a communication link. The mobile application is hosted in the data processing device and is loaded from the data processing device into the mobile device after the communication link is established, wherein content and/or functions of the application data describing the mobile application are dynamically generated or updated by means of a generation logic implemented in the data processing device on the basis of current data of a configuration and/or a runtime environment of the hosting data processing device, and wherein the generation logic is designed to record data of a configuration and/or runtime environment of further data processing devices coupled to the hosting data processing device via a network.

  • Patent number: 10847022
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for operating a technological device, in particular a device of automating technology such as a controller, sensor or actor by a mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet or PDA, wherein information is exchanged via a wireless communication connection between the technological device and the mobile device. In order to broaden the scope of the function of the technological device at least temporarily, it is provided that at least one software component which can be invoked by the technological device for executing one or more functions is hosted in a runtime environment of the mobile device, and that the at least one software component is invoked via the wireless communication connection by invoking a function of the technological device and is executed and is used in the runtime environment of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10420059
    Abstract: A method and a device for high-precision position determination of a mobile device by means of wireless communication, wherein wireless communication is established between at least one first antenna of a calibration device and a second antenna of a mobile device when the antennae are in proximity to one another, to transmit position data to the mobile device. A housing section of the mobile device is fixed in a reference position relative to the calibration device using a position-fixing element, and in that the position data for the reference position, as the current position of the housing section of the mobile device, are transmitted via the wireless communication between the at least one first antenna, and the second antenna, and in that an inertial navigation unit is calibrated with respect to the current position.
