  • Publication number: 20240048991
    Abstract: A method and devices for certifying identity and location and a method and devices for managing access requests. A first verification relating to a location of a requester is carried out by a terminal upon reception of a code received by the terminal via at least one short-range telecommunication channel. A second verification relating to an identity of the requester is also triggered and carried out by the terminal. After these two verifications, an output signal is sent to an access management platform in order to trigger a requested access.

  • Patent number: 10887934
    Abstract: A terminal is described, along with a method for data processing carried out by the terminal, for communication via a plurality of interfaces of the terminal. The terminal can include a first interface for communication via a radiofrequency link, and a second interface for communication via a short-range link, where the second interface can be polluted by the radiofrequency link used by the first interface. The terminal can be configured to activate the first interface, deactivate the first interface and initiate a time-out during which the terminal can activate a third interface for communication via an optical link, and then activate the second interface.

  • Patent number: 10455423
    Abstract: Control of access to an on-line service, the access to the service being requested, via a communication network, by a terminal suitable for receiving data broadcast by a plurality of devices for data transmission by light modulation producing a light beam. In particular: each transmission device is characterized by a unique identifier; and each transmission device belongs to a group of devices. The following steps, carried out by a server connected to the transmission devices, are provided: upon receiving a request from the terminal to access the service via a second transmission device identified by a second identifier, verifying whether a previous access request for said same terminal was accepted for a first transmission device identified by a first identifier; and, when the first and second identifiers correspond to devices of the same group, processing the access request.
