  • Patent number: 8054183
    Abstract: Method and system for safely transporting valuable articles to a client. A known amount of articles for transport are packed in a transport package comprising a security circuit and a security system for the valuable articles. In the armed state the valuable articles are devaluated in case of an unauthorized manipulation in the transport package. A first client identifier is given. The valuable articles in the transport package are transported to the client. A portable computer transported with the valuable articles serves for recording and/or capturing the first client identifier, for capturing a second client identifier, for evaluating the first client identifier and the second client identifier, and for establishing a communication connection with the security circuit of the transport package, in order to transfer and release the package into the not-armed state, if permitted after evaluating the client identifiers.

  • Patent number: 8047142
    Abstract: There is provided a protection method and protection system for valuables. An internal enclosure for enclosing the valuables, an external enclosure for enclosing the internal enclosure, a misuse protection device for the valuables, and a triggering device for triggering the misuse protection device in the event of an unauthorized manipulation of the external enclosure are provided. The external enclosure is closable to form a seal. A pressure chamber, which is impinged by an initial pressure, is produced in the external enclosure. A setpoint pressure is generated, which deviates from the ambient pressure, in the pressure chamber when the external enclosure is closed to form a seal. A pressure sensor is used for detecting the pressure in the pressure chamber. The pressure sensor controls initialization of the triggering device. The triggering device triggers the misuse protection device when the pressure deviates by more than a tolerance pressure value from the setpoint pressure.
