Publication number: 20200357033Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for supporting purchasing of goods or services from a provider. An example system may comprise a database operable to maintain identification data of a consumer; and a server operable to receive a purchase request from the consumer. The server may then add an alias to the purchase request, where the alias corresponds to the identification data of the consumer, and forward the purchase request with the alias to the provider. The aliased identification data is not accessible to the provider. In an example method, a server, in a communication network, may receive a purchase request sent by a consumer through the communication network. The server, which may maintain identification data of the consumer, may then substitute the identification data of the consumer with an alias, and may forward the purchase request with the alias to the provider. The identification data is not accessible to the provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Roger Lagadec, Didier Durand, Christophe Taddei

Patent number: 8886542Abstract: A voice interactive service system provides different speech-based services to a plurality of users. Using a communication terminal, the services are accessed via a telecommunication network through service-specific connectivity ports. The system comprises processing cores which have different configurations of speech processing resources for performing different services. For performing a requested service, a connection module establishes a connection between the respective connectivity port and a processing core having a configuration of speech processing resources suitable for performing the requested service. Because of the service-specific resourcing of cores, there is no need for requesting and allocating processing resources from external resource servers. Moreover, the port-dedicated resourcing of the cores ensures that a successful access to a connectivity port leads to a successful provision of the requested service.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Inventors: Roger Lagadec, Patrik Estermann, Luciano Butera

Patent number: 8812328Abstract: A method and system for use in allowing a content or service provider to establish an anonymous profile of a consumer using at least one request sent by the consumer through a communication network. The request sent by the consumer includes identification data of the consumer. The identification data is substituted in the network with an alias so as to anonymize the request. The identification data is not accessible to the content or service provider and there is a correspondence between the identification data and the alias.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Swisscom AGInventors: Roger Lagadec, Didler Durand, Christophe Taddei

Publication number: 20130119133Abstract: The method for identifying objects and triggering interactions functions by means of an acoustically modulated data signal, which is associated with an object, and based on the identification of the line by means of which said signal is sent from a receiving unit to a processing point. The content that is associated with said object is sent by means of said line from the processing point to the receiving unit, and thus an interaction between one of many subscribers by means of the receiving unit thereof and one of many objects is enabled. For this purpose, a station produces an acoustically modulated data signal, which is captured by the sound transducer of a receiving unit located within close range of the sound source of said station and forwarded by the receiving unit to the processing point. The processing point determines that the acoustic pattern has arrived and detects the number of the line on which this occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2011Publication date: May 16, 2013Inventors: Boxer Michael, Roger Lagadec

Patent number: 8401867Abstract: A method and associated arrangement allows a content or service provider to establish an anonymous profile of a consumer using at least one request sent by the consumer through a communication network. The request sent by the consumer includes identification data of the consumer. The identification data is substituted in the network with an alias so as to anonymize the request. The identification data is not accessible to the content or service provider and there is a one-to-one and immutable correspondence between the identification data and the alias.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Swisscom AGInventors: Roger Lagadec, Didler Durand, Christophe Taddei

Patent number: 7967200Abstract: The invention relates to an authorization verification method and devices suited therefor, which play back authorization data via a user interface (11) of an electronic playback device (1). During the playback of authorization data via the user interface (11) of a first playback device (1), the playback attributes are modified. The playback of authorization data via the user interface (11) of the first playback device (1) is compared with the playback of reference data via a user interface (21) of a second electronic playback device (2). Authorization is granted in the event the playback of authorization data via the user interface (11) of the first playback device (1) matches the playback of reference data via the user interface (21) of the second playback device (2), and modifications of the playback attributes are, in essence, time-synchronized.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Swisscom AGInventors: Roger Lagadec, Renato Cantini, Bruno Messmer

Patent number: 7907957Abstract: A method and a system for data transmission with mobile network nodes, which include at least two network interfaces with corresponding power consumption. A central unit is configured to receive data intended for the mobile network, and a first network interface of the mobile network node is deactivated. If the central unit receives data intended for themobile network node, a signaling message assigned to the received data is transmitted to the mobile network node, by a signaling module, via a second network interface of the mobile network node. Based on the transmitted signaling message, the first network interface of the mobile network node is activated, and data, which are intended for the mobile network node, are transmitted via the first network interface to the mobile network node.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Swisscom AGInventors: Marc Danzeisen, Beat Perny, Roger Lagadec, Jan Linder

Patent number: 7801492Abstract: Proposed are a method and a system for management of resources of portable resource modules, each connected to a communication terminal, which modules comprise electronic memory units and are designed in particular as chipcards. A first resource management instruction comprising a module identification is transmitted to a resource management center. A second resource management instruction is transmitted from the resource management center via a communication network to the resource module identified through the module identification. In the particular resource module, resources are made ready or released by a resource control mechanism corresponding to the received second resource management instruction. A resource management confirmation is transmitted by the particular resource module via the communication network to the resource management center, and in the resource management center information about the resources made ready or released is stored assigned to the module identification.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignees: Swisscom AG, NagraCard S.A.Inventors: Renato Cantini, Karin Busch Lauper, Roger Lagadec
