摘要:
A method and system for providing selective access to appliances by terminals in a smart environment is provided. Each terminal and appliance is assigned a unique identification code (UID). Appliances and terminals wirelessly transmit their UID and receive UIDs transmitted by other appliances and terminals. Upon receiving a terminal's UID, an appliance queries a database to determine whether the terminal is authorized to control that appliance based on authorization information stored in the database. An owner may be notified if a terminal without authorization attempts to control an appliance or enters the environment. When a previously unauthorized user, local to the environment, desires access to the smart environment while the owner(s) is away from the environment, a request may be securely transmitted to an owner at his or her remote location. The owner may grant access to one or more appliances, and securely transmit the authorization back to the local user. Upon receipt of the authorization, the local user may control the appliance(s).

A system for providing information and services to remote user terminals upon request therefrom includes a provider node in communication with the remote user terminals and in communication with other nodes including advertisers. Advertisers initiate transmission of advertising messages for display on the remote user terminals. The provider node maintains profile information specifying each user's interests and needs. Under control of the profile information, each advertising message is selectively sent to users whose interests and needs are in accordance with the contents of the advertising message.

A method and system (100) are provided to evaluate a privacy indication of a request for one or more data items of user information by a requesting party (104) based on at least one privacy attribute of one or more of the requested data items; and to provide to the requesting party (104) one or more of the requested data items according to the evaluated privacy indication.

The user's Bluetooth device substitutes a pseudonym address for the Bluetooth Device Address (BD_ADDR). The pseudonym address is a randomized version of the BD_ADDR. The pseudonym address is used in all the functions of the Bluetooth device that normally use the BD_ADDR, including the frequency hopping sequence, the device access code, the initialization key in link encryption, the authentication code, and the various packet addresses. In this manner, the user's privacy is protected by preventing the user's identity, routes, and activities from being correlated with his/her device's address. In addition to the Bluetooth standard, the technique also applies to other wireless standards.

A system (100) and method manages and enforces user privacy of user data in a network environment in various manners. The system (100) and method can determine a context for interaction with a party, filter user data to be provided to the party based on the determined context, and transmit the filtered user data to the party. The system (100) and method can further determine an anonymity level at which interaction with the party is to be conducted, and interact with the party at the determined anonymity level. Additionally, to enforce user privacy, a privacy enforcement system (1120) can be employed at the receiving party (1105) and a trusted supervising authority (1180) can be utilized to supervise the access of user data received by the receiving party as well as to provide third party certification.
摘要:
A terminal (110) and a service in a wireless network both include a framework for protecting personal privacy. The terminal includes a memory that stores profile data for a user. The terminal is coupled to an access point (120) that is also coupled to a wired network. A service operator (150) coupled to the wired network offers a service opportunity to the user by sending a message to the terminal that includes a portion of the service opportunity. If the user requests the service opportunity or if the profile data indicates interest by the user in the service opportunity, the service operator sends the service opportunity to the terminal. Otherwise, the service operator can only send a default service opportunity or choose to not send the service opportunity.
摘要:
A method and system locate a transponder that has an associated identifier and content data, at a location substantially accessible to a user of the mobile terminal. The transponder is activated by the mobile terminal with a wireless signal. In response, the mobile terminal receives at least the identifier and the content data from the activated transponder at the mobile terminal. From the received identifier and/or content data, the method and system select one or more of the stored data items according to one or more criteria.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing/receiving personalized messages relating to goods and/or service to mobile terminals include:receiving user data comprising an act to be performed by the user and an instruction to be followed by the user when performing the act (106,108);comparing the user data with service data for goods or services that may assist the user in completing the acts in accordance with the instructions (220); and based on the comparison, providing personalized messaging to the mobile terminal concerning goods or services (222). The user data compared with the goods or services also may include user profile data (102), calendar data (104) and/or location information to further personalize the messaging. Some or all of this user data may be received directly from the mobile terminal (100) or, may be obtained from a network-based trusted server (130).
摘要:
A system and method manages user privacy in a network environment (100) through a distributed user system including a user device (110) adn profile operator (115). The management of user privacy involves recognizing one or more service opportunities of a service operator (130, 140) on a user device (110) operated by a user, determining a privacy level at which communications is conducted with a service operator (130, 140) relating to the one or more service opportunities on the user device (110), determining a profile access level on the user device (110), transmitting the profile access level to the service operator (130, 140), and enabling the service operator (130, 140) to obtain a subset of profile information of the user according to the profile access level.
