  • Publication number: 20220337591
    Abstract: A security entity controls execution of commands by a target host in a computer system. The security entity terminates a secure transport channel carrying at least one stream of data from a client host, the security entity being a separate entity from the target host and the at least one stream of data including first type of data and second type of data including at least one command for the target host. An emulator of the security entity analyses the at least one stream of data to determine the at least one command for the target host and checks allowability of the at least one command for the target host. If the at least one command is determined allowable, execution of the at least one allowable command at the target host is caused by sending the at least one allowable command to the target host on an execution channel separately from the at least one stream of data.

  • Patent number: 9787621
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The sensor apparatus is paired to a subscriber account before first use, thereby allowing secure initialization.

  • Patent number: 9733808
    Abstract: The aspects of the present disclosure allow an extremely simple way to interact with e.g. various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press. An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile.

  • Patent number: 9642007
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments allow an extremely simple and inexpensive way to interact with various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press, and with enhanced data security. A session login request includes a user identification and an identifier of a sensor apparatus associated with the user is received at a first network server from a user terminal. In response to successfully authenticating the user identification, an association request comprising the received identifier of the sensor apparatus is sent to a second network server. A reference identifier associated with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is generated at the second network server. The generated reference identifier mapped with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is stored at the second network server. Then, the generated reference identifier is sent to the first network server for storage.

  • Publication number: 20150334559
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus. The identification message consists of a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The sensor apparatus is configured to monitor for changes in the wireless signal strength, and the trigger event consists of at least one of a predetermined change and a predetermined pattern in the monitored wireless signal strength.

  • Publication number: 20150332139
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event, i.e. a button press no longer than a predetermined time period, sensed by a sensor device in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The aspects of the present disclosure allow a cancel option by use of a cancel event consisting of pressing the button longer than the predetermined time period, the cancel event causing a cancel action to be executed for cancelling the response action associated with the previous trigger event.

  • Publication number: 20150334063
    Abstract: An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event, i.e. a button press, sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus. The button is kept pressed down until instructed by the network server to return the button to its initial position. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile.
