With the reproducing device (1.7 ) integrated in the user device (1), the data file or presentation is reproduced. The invention also concerns the disclosed user device (1).
Abstract:
Method for identifying and/or authenticating a user (1) of a mobile device (2) in a server (4) on the basis of fingerprints of the user (1) that have been read through haptic input means (21) of the mobile device 82) with a fingerprint reader in the mobile device (2), the method having the following steps: inviting the user (1) to perform selections in a menu of the server (4) with the haptic input means (21), simultaneously reading the user's fingerprints through the haptic input means (21), comparing the fingerprints and possibly previously read fingerprints of the user (1) with reference fingerprints, repeating the previous steps until the user 81) has been identified and/or authenticated with a predetermined probability.
Abstract:
Method for recycling products, comprising the following steps: recording through a mobile device (5) that a product (3) to be recycled has been brought to a collection point (2), wherein the mobile device (5) comprises an identification module (50) for identifying said mobile device (5) and/or a user (2), crediting a deposit caused by the recycling of said product (3) or debiting a recycling fee caused by the recycling of said product (3) on an account linked with said identification module (50). Data carrier with a program for executing this method. Method for recycling products, comprising the following steps: recording through a collection point (2) that a product (3) to be recycled has been brought to the collection point (2), wherein a code with which the product is identified is recorded by the collection point (2), sending a first signal to a mobile device (5) that said product (3) is to be recycled. With the method and the data carrier of the invention, a reward or debiting linked with the recycling of the product (3) is automatically determined and credited or billed on an account linked with the identification module (50).
Abstract:
Method for finding a lost or stolen object (1), with the following steps that must be performed before the object is lost: said object (1) is marked with a RFID tag (10) in which an unequivocal tag identification (100) is stored, the owner of the object (1) accesses the RFID tag (10) with a RFID reader device (2) that is built into a mobile radio telephone (3) of the owner or that is connected with this mobile radio telephone (3), said tag identification (100) is paired with an owner identification (300) that is read from the SIM card (30) of said mobile telephone (3), and with the following steps that are performed when said object (1) is found by a third party: said tag identification (100) is read by a second RFID reader device (9), the owner identification (300) that has been paired with the read tag identification (100) is determined, said owner is informed about the finding of said object (1).
Abstract:
A transaction method, a service center, and a device for carrying out the transaction method. In the transaction method object picture data relating to a transaction object, for example a product or a service, are made visible to a user, for instance by projecting image signals corresponding to the object picture data directly on the retina of the user. Eye features of the user are determined while the object picture data, made visible, are viewed by him/her, for example by the light being captured that is reflected by the retina owing to the projected image signals and retina patterns of the user being determined from the determined reflection data and the associated object picture data. The determined eye features with object data relating to the transaction object are linked in a transaction record and the transaction record is forwarded to a processing unit.
Abstract:
Billing method and billing system to determine usage fees which are charged to the user of a digital telecommunications network, whereby a usage fee charged for a connection is determined prior to establishing this connection from statistical characteristics of previous connections of the user. Preferably, the usage fees are determined from a dynamic client profile stored in a first memory area, which profile is derived from one or multiple random variables of previous connections of the user of the digital telecommunications network. After new connections of the user, the stored client profile is again dynamically derived. In a simple variant, the client profile contains a value proportional to the average price per connection or to the average duration of a connection of the user. In a preferred embodiment, the client profile also contains multi-dimensional functions of random variables of previous connections of the user of the digital telecommunications network. The random variables used to derive the client profile include, for example, the connection duration, the time of day, the day of the week, and/or geographic characteristics of previous connections. Preferably, the usage fees are also dependent on a statistically derived system load. Advantages: for example, in a pre-paid system, the usage fees can be charged already prior to establishing the connection.
Abstract:
A telecommunication method and a receiving apparatus for enabling the telecommunication method. A telecommunications mobile device comprises an identification card, a radio receiver, and/or a television receiver, wherein the identification card is capable of identifying the user of the telecommunications mobile device. When the telecommunications mobile device receives digital data, transmitted over a broadcast channel as program-accompanying data in a media program, it displays information, corresponding to the received digital data, on a display of the telecommunications mobile device and allows the user to enter a command. Based on the entered command, a message is prepared that includes at least one data field from the received digital data as well as an identification of the user determined from the identification card. The prepared message is then sent over a mobile radio network.
Abstract:
A flat display for a mobile radio telephone or another autonomous electrical device, with a display surface on which information can be displayed. The display can be electrically controlled to make the entire display surface, or only a portion thereof, reflecting. Alphanumerical and/or advertising information can be displayed on the remaining, non-reflecting portion of the display surface. The mobile radio telephone can also be used as a practical pocket mirror. Advertisements and important information, for example service provider identifications, can be displayed particularly effectively on a reflecting background.
Abstract:
An information system for vehicles (35) includes a plurality of contactless transceivers (31-32) oriented in the direction of the passengers (36) that allow a data transfer at close range, with a central data processor (2). A data bus (3) is connected with the transceivers (31-32) and with the central data processor (2), so that data can be transmitted between private portable terminals (4) of the passengers and the central data processor (2) in both directions over the transceivers (31-32) and the data bus (3). The portable terminals (4) additionally store passengers' identification data in such a manner that the identification data are transmitted to the central data processor, so that the system can check the passengers' travel authorizations.
