  • Patent number: 11762476
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) system detects through a camera when a user's hand positions match a predefined position and in response thereto renders an overlay including a crown with which the user can interact to lock onto an object or scene. The system then detects and renders a centre indicator of the crown, tracking the user's hands, enables or disables actions depending on the position of the centre indicator relative to a neutral zone, responds to user hand movement to implement actions, and also detects unlock of the object or scene.

  • Publication number: 20220264165
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a first device may receive from a second device a message comprising an authentication element and credentials associating the second device with a user identifier. The first device may obtain a set of features based on data captured by a sensor of the first device when a user is near the sensor. The first device may associate the second device with the first device on a condition that is it determined by the first device that the authentication element is verified based on a verification element, that the credentials correspond to initial credentials associating the second device with the user identifier, and that the set of features matches an initial set of features, wherein the verification element, the initial credentials and the initial set of features may have been initially associated together in the first device.

  • Publication number: 20140119538
    Abstract: A method for encrypting a 3D object. In a preferred embodiment, the encryption shapes the 3D object by generating a set of secret functions using a secret K, applying the generated functions to the 3D object, determining the function that gives an output that is closest to predetermined characteristics, encrypting the 3D object using the determined function, and outputting the encrypted 3D object and an indication of the determined function. Also provided is a corresponding decryption method, an encryption device and a decryption device.

  • Patent number: 8196209
    Abstract: A method for controlling access to content by an Acquisition Point to Presentation Points in clusters in a domain. The AP receives from a PP an access content request comprising the PPs cluster identity and the PP's priority. The AP verifies if access is granted to a PP in the cluster and, if so, grants access to the requesting PP. If not, the AP verifies if access is granted to PPs in a maximum number of clusters. If not, the AP grants access. If the maximum is reached, the AP verifies if the requesting PP's priority is higher than the priority of every PP in another cluster. If not, access is denied; if so, the AP grants access to the requesting PP and denies access to the PPs in the cluster with the lowest priority values. An Acquisition Point is also claimed.

  • Publication number: 20120120062
    Abstract: A 3D object is protected by a first device that receives the 3D object, permutes the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some of the points of the 3D object to obtain a protected 3D object, and outputs the protected 3D object. The coordinates of the dimensions are preferably permuted independently of the permutations of the other dimensions. The protected 3D object is unprotected by a second device (140) by receiving the protected 3D object, permuting the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some the points of the protected 3D object to obtain an unprotected 3D object, and outputting the unprotected 3D object. Also provided are the first device, the second device and computer readable storage media.

  • Patent number: 7233926
    Abstract: The electronic wallet system comprises a plurality of devices interconnected through a local network and capable of conducting electronic business transactions on an open network. Each device contains a smart card reader. A plurality of smart cards represent electronic purses able to contain electronic money. One of the devices contains an entity, the server, which contains a list of data entries, each entry corresponding to a purse liable to receive electronic money, contained in tokens, from other purses of the system. The tokens transferred between purses are stored temporally by the server. In order to improve the security of the transactions, the messages which are exchanged between the devices and/or the smart cards during token transfer operations are protected by secret keys which are only stored in the smart cards of the system.
