Patent number: 11963003Abstract: The invention concerns a sensing device (1) configured to selectively operate in: a manufacturing mode, an unprovisioned mode, a provisioned mode and an end-of-life mode. In the manufacturing mode, the electronic circuit (14) permanently stores a unique code (149) in a storage medium (12), while in the unprovisioned mode, the electronic circuit (14) waits for a provisioning code (31) for generating a private and a public key (143). In the provisioned mode, the electronic circuit (14) signs a timestamp (146) provided by a time-keeping unit (13) and data (110) provided by a sensing unit. The collected data (110), the timestamp (146), the digital signature (144) and the public key (143) is then transmitted. In the end-of-life mode, the electronic circuit (14) permanently erases the private key.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Inventors: Stefan Meyer, Ivan Olchevski, Stéphane Ballmer, Vlad Trifa

Patent number: 9794321Abstract: There is provide a computing system configured to receive an object identifier and contextual information from an end-user, to compute the object identifier and contextual information based on pre-defined set of rules, to map said object identifier and contextual information to an entry point associated with a specific computer application among a plurality of applications, and to provide access to said specific computer application to said end-user. There is also provided a method to do the same, and a tag for use with a physical object, the tag comprising a redirection identifier embodying a unique identifier of the object and an HTTP address of a server permitting to redirect or provide access to the user to a specific computer application about the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: EVRYTHNG LimitedInventors: Vlad Trifa, Dominique Guinard, Niall Murphy

Patent number: 9582595Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes obtaining information about an object at a device; providing at least some of the information to an identification mechanism; obtaining an identifier for the object from the identification service; and using the identifier to access and store information about the object at an information mechanism. The information about the object may be determined from at least one image of the object. The information mechanism may include at least one object information application, and the information mechanism may have an Application Program Interface (API) to the at least one object information application, wherein the device uses the identifier to access the at least one object information application via the API. The identifier may be a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is resolvable to the information mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: EVRYTHNG LimitedInventors: Vlad Trifa, Dominique Guinard, Niall Murphy

Publication number: 20150089605Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, at a device running an application, and in response to a user attempting to enable or use an aspect of said application, using said device to obtain image information about an object, said object including indicia, and said image information comprising information about said indicia; using said image information to ascertain identifier information for an object; providing said identifier information to an authorization service; and responsive to said providing in (c), obtaining a response from said authorization service, said response comprising a credential; and (d) using said credential within said application to enable or use said aspect of said application. The aspect of said application to be enabled or used may be (i) a feature of said application; (ii) an amount of a virtual currency within said application; (iii) a reward within said application; or (iv) a purchase within said application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2014Publication date: March 26, 2015Inventors: Vlad Trifa, Dominique Guinard, Niall Murphy

Patent number: 8874701Abstract: A service type repository is populated with types of services exposed on a network that has a dynamic organization. The services are embedded on one or more devices included in the network and the services providing information about the one or more devices. A query is received that includes a request for a type of service, and the requested type of service is compared to the types of services in the service type repository to select a collection of matching service types that satisfy the request. Active instances of services that have a type included in the collection of matching service types are identified. The active instances are instances of services embedded on one or more devices included in the network. When no active instances are identified, active instances of services that have a type included in the collection of matching service types are discovered.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Dominique Guinard, Oliver Baecker, Stamatis Karnouskos, Moritz Koehler, Luciana Moreira Sa De Souza, Dominic Savio, Patrik Spiess, Mihai Vlad Trifa
