  • Patent number: 11888966
    Abstract: Technologies are shown for HGM based control for smart contract execution. HGM control rules control function calls at a system level utilizing function boundary detection instrumentation in a kernel that executes smart contracts. The detection instrumentation generates a call stack that represents a chain of function calls in the kernel for a smart contract. The HGM control rules are applied to HGMs collected from the call stack to allow or prohibit specific HGMs observed in functions or function call chains. HGM control rules can use dynamic state data in the function call chain. If the dynamic state data observed in function call chains does not meet the requirements defined in the HGM control rules, then the function call can be blocked from executing or completing execution. The HGM control rules can be generated by executing known sets of acceptable or vulnerable smart contracts and collecting the resulting HGMs.

  • Patent number: 11805387
    Abstract: In order to perform location-specific services of a broadcasting unit, virtual cells for the location-specific services are set up so that cell data, which define a local cell area, are transmitted to a mobile receiving device via the broadcasting unit. The cell data are stored in the mobile receiving device. The mobile receiving device establishes its current position and determines whether it is located in the cell area. In the event the mobile receiving device is located in the cell area, the receiving device performs a service assigned to the cell data. The setting up of cells for local-specific services by the broadcasting unit in a multitude of mobile receiving devices in the service area of the broadcasting unit enables geographical areas inside and outside the service area to be slit up into smaller, interactive and virtual service cells and cell clusters in a dynamic and optimal manner according to need and geographical and/or service-specific parameter.
