  • Patent number: 11316856
    Abstract: A system and method for a client computer for the local composition of a data page having personal user data for services accessed by the user and provided on a number of servers. The method includes: setting up a central access server from among the servers; setting up a query for the composition of the data page, for a transmission from the client computer to the central access server; receiving a processing element, which includes a visual element and access addresses to the servers that are relevant for the query, the processing element including control commands processed by the client computer, and queries of the client computer to the access addresses included in the processing element being coordinated so that the personal user data on the servers to be aggregated for the composition of the data page are delivered directly to the client computer for the local composition.

  • Patent number: 11250155
    Abstract: A method for managing personal data stored in a distributed system, in which the personal data are transmitted from a terminal device to at least one network node; and in which there is furnished to the user, by the distributed system, a user interface by way of which the personal data are to be managed in respective network nodes of the distributed system which manage the personal data; and in which management instructions furnished via the user interface, for managing the personal data within the distributed system, are transmitted via a predefined interface that is configured at least on the respective network nodes of the distributed system which manage the personal data.

  • Patent number: 10701088
    Abstract: A method for protecting a device from information attacks, in which received from the at least one device are checked by a security device, included in the at least one device, for an information attack, and for the case that the received data are associated with an information attack, characteristic data concerning the information attack are stored in the at least one device and transmitted via a communication interface to a unit in communicative connection with a plurality of devices, and the unit evaluates the characteristic data transmitted from the at least one device and outputs a warning message to at least a portion of the devices in communicative connection with the unit as a function of at least one predefined criterion.

  • Patent number: 10665233
    Abstract: A method for operating a server system that includes a plurality of servers for processing a voice command recorded by a recording device connected, via an interface, to the server system includes, in response to the recording of the voice command, reading in a session activation signal from the recording device; checking if there is an association between the session activation signal and a session ID; if it is established that there is the association between the session activation signal and the session ID, ascertaining an availability of a prior server that previously processed a session assigned to the session ID; and activating the session on the prior server if it is available, but, if it is not available, then activating the session on a free server of the server system by loading the session from a session database. The voice command is received by the corresponding server during the activation of the session or even subsequent to the activation of the session, in order to be processed.

  • Patent number: 10331903
    Abstract: A method is described for processing of user-specific data in a vehicle; in particular, the processing of user-specific data in control systems of a vehicle, such as a navigation system or an entertainment system, for example. For this purpose, the device for processing user-specific data is expanded by a private operating mode. In this private operating mode, there is no persistent storage of user inputs and/or the resulting processing results. After termination of the newly created private operating mode, the data stored during the private operating mode are deleted immediately.
