  • Patent number: 8176064
    Abstract: In general, the present invention purposes a method for automated information based selective data provision by an identification device is provided. Information data associated with a plurality of data records stored in a data storage are scanned in order to obtain filter information relating to the plurality of data records from the informational data. Then at least one data record out of the plurality of data records is selected. The selection of the data records is obtained on the basis of the obtained filter information which are compared with a predefined filter rule for identifying relevant data records which match with the filter rule. The at least one selected data record is subsequently configured at the identification device and the identification device provides at least one configured data record as an identification information to be retrievable wirelessly by an external inquiring entity.

  • Publication number: 20080208920
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of this invention provides a method and apparatus that features synchronizing of data objects in a client device with a server in a system since a last synchronization between the client device and the server by obtaining a list of added or modified data objects since the last synchronization, updating a cached object list on the client device with the list of added or modified data objects, obtaining a sorted list of existing data objects from the server, and detecting deleted data objects based on the comparison between the updated cached object list and the sorted object list. In particular, the synchronizing may include a control point periodically synchronizing the data objects with a content directory service (CDS) in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device architecture (UDA).

  • Patent number: 7344074
    Abstract: A method for activating a user interface of a mobile terminal or device having an ISO14443 smart card attached in a ISO7816 reader, where the mobile device monitors the state of the inactive ISO7816 interface, the ISO14443 smart card changes the state of one or more of the ISO7816 contacts when it needs user interaction during contactless communication, and when a state change occurs that did not originate in the mobile device, an interrupt is generated that communicates to the mobile device that smart card requires its services.

  • Publication number: 20030005244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and hardware arrangement which can be used to provide secure and efficient backup copying of a file on a terminal (13) operating in a data communication network (11), assisted by a server (12) connected with the data communication network. The invention also relates to software applications for implementing the method. A backup copy (electronic data file) according to the invention is created in a non-trusted device (14) from which it can be once restored to a trusted device (13) by means of a server (12). The server connected with the data communication network stores only the identification information for the trusted terminal (13) and for the backed-up file. That information is removed from the server's memory as soon as a permission has been given to restore the backup copy. This prevents unauthorized duplication of the backed-up file.
