  • Patent number: 7752276
    Abstract: In one aspect, a data processing device which comprises an application for use in an ad-hoc network whereby the application is provided with a data interface to a central service for the processing of the first data is provided. A proxy instance is connected to the application via a first data connection for the exchange of the first data, while the proxy instance is connected to a plurality of additional data processing devices via the ad-hoc network for the exchange of second data. The proxy instance is adapted to generate the first data from the second data and to generate the second data from the first data, the exchange of the first data between the application and the proxy instance being carried out via the data interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7720008
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for determining a leading subscriber in a network consisting of a plurality of network elements, with initially the same privileges and tasks is provided. A request message is sent to all network elements, the request message being marked by a sequence number taken randomly from a first set of numbers. Request messages sent by the remaining network elements over a pre-defined period of time are receive. The sequence number transmitted during the interval is compared with the intrinsic sequence number transmitted during the first stage. If the intrinsic sequence number has the numerically highest value in comparison with all of the received sequence numbers, the network element in question is identified as the leading subscriber.
