摘要： A communications device has a NFC communicator (15) having a coupler (17) to couple with a coupler of a near field RF communicator in near field range to enable communication of data between the communicators by modulation of a magnetic field, a demodulator (42) to extract modulation from a modulated signal coupled to the coupler and a modulator (40) to modulate an RF signal in accordance with data to be communicated by the NFC communicator. The device also has at least one secure element (30; 31) separate from the near field RF communicator (15) to provide secure data storage for transaction data representing or relating to a transaction. A controller controls operation of the NFC communicator, reads transaction data from the at least one secure element and causes the modulator to modulate an RF signal in accordance with transaction data read from the at least one secure element so as to communicate the read transaction data to a near field RF communicator in near field range as proof of the transaction to enable an action related to the transaction to be carried out.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices for controlling electrical energy consumption in an electricity distribution network, so as to reduce net energy consumption in a given area during a given time period, are described. In particular, a method of controlling electrical energy consumption within an electricity distribution network is described. The method comprises maintaining a database of information about electric devices, and identifying a time period during which consumption of electrical energy is to be controlled. The method further comprises selecting, based on device profile information stored in the database, groups of electric devices, and associating one or more time intervals with each of the selected groups. Requests are sent to the electric devices of the selected groups to control electrical energy consumption and/or provision by the electric devices. This enables a reduction in net consumption of electrical energy during a respective time interval.

摘要： A data storage device communicates wirelessly with a reader. The data storage device has a data store for storing data and a hidden PIN data store for storing identification data. A controller of the data store has the ability to write identification data to the hidden PIN data store. The controller controls operation of the data storage device in accordance with the outcome of a comparison between identification data stored in the hidden data store and identification communicated to it by a reader. The controller may enable the identification data stored in the hidden PIN store to be replaced or supplemented, in the event that a reader communicating with the data storage device provides to the data storage device identification data that has a predetermined relationship with, for example matches, the identification data stored in the hidden PIN data store.
