  • Publication number: 20190098015
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of securing integrity of data collected in a data storage arrangement for an object are disclosed. Data storage apparatus is provided with data relating to the object, at least a part of the data originating from a data processing entity provided in connection with the object. The data storage apparatus processes, upon receipt of the data, the received data by storing the data in the data storage apparatus and computing a first digital signature for the data. The data storage apparatus sends the first digital signature to a distributed ledger for later use in verification of the data. When the data is provided from the data storage apparatus for presentation by at least one user device a second digital signature is computed for the data for use in verification of the integrity of the data based on the first digital signature stored in the distributed ledger.

  • Patent number: 9111302
    Abstract: A data communication method and apparatus for a retail organization is disclosed. In the method an intermediate data processing entity generates a set of data for sending to at least one mobile terminal based on data from at least one data processing device associated with the retail organization and send the generated set of data to the at least one mobile terminal. At least one mobile terminal may send user data to the intermediate data processing entity. Upon receipt of user data from at least one mobile terminal the received user data is processed in the intermediate data processing entity to determine if data is to be communicated from the intermediate data processing entity. If it is determined that communication of data is needed, data can be communicated to at least one of a data processing device associated with the retail organization and at least one mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8166401
    Abstract: A method for providing computer readable instructions for a presentation in a remote location is disclosed. In the method non-editable computer readable instructions for a presentation at a remote location are received from a central data storage via a data network. A user at the remote location then provides at least one set of computer readable instructions that are associated with the presentation. A modified presentation is presented at the remote location based on the non-editable set of computer readable instructions and the associated computer readable instructions. The associated computer readable instructions can then be sent to the central data storage for use in at least one subsequent execution of the presentation.

  • Publication number: 20070113259
    Abstract: The invention relates to provision of improved services in connection with presenting a program for a user. Information of the user is stored in a remote management unit, preferably in a database thereof. A broadcasting system provides a terminal with a program signal and the program is presented to the user. Upon detection of a predefined event data is transported between the remote management unit and a user device that is operable by the user while he/she is experiencing the program. The transportation occurs over a packet data network and a wireless data communication link arranged between the packet data network and the user device. The data that associates with the program is personalised based on said stored information.
