Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the exchange of personal information in non-trusted peer-to-peer environments in a step-by-step fashion, in which the information preferably prepared as a graphics display is segmented into several individual sections and is subsequently alternately exchanged between the communication partners.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a network having at least one slave terminal and a master terminal that is connected thereto and that is provided for charging at least one slave terminal with requests to search for at least one other terminal to be incorporated in the network. After receiving a request, a non-incorporated terminal transmits a response to the requesting slave terminal and the requesting slave terminal forwards the response to the master terminal.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of giving a presentation on a wireless projector ( 1 ) from a mobile device ( 3 ). If the mobile device ( 3 ) has access to a company's internal network ( 6 ), a wireless communications connection is made to the projector ( 1 ) over this network ( 6 ), thus enabling access to be gained to the data present there. If on the other hand the mobile device ( 3 ) belongs to a visitor who does not have access to the network ( 6 ), only an ad-hoc connection is made between the device ( 3 ) and the projector ( 1 ) without the network ( 6 ) being involved.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wireless network comprising at least two terminals which each contain a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) software component and a UPnP controller software component. According to the invention, the UPnP controller software component of a terminal forwards specific messages from the associated UPnP software component to subordinate software components only following a change in the network topology.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of operating a network of a plurality of communication apparatuses (1, 2, 5 to 8) and particularly to a method of operating an ad hoc network between Bluetooth apparatuses. A token (3, 9 to 12, 15), in which the apparatus address of the associated apparatus is stored, is assigned to a plurality of communication apparatuses (1, 2, 5 to 8). At least one communication apparatus is used as a token read apparatus (4, 13 and 14) so as to read the apparatus address of a first communication apparatus (1), stored in the token (3, 9 to 12, 15). The token read apparatus (4, 13 and 14) builds up a connection with the first communication apparatus (1) by means of the apparatus address, and/or the apparatus address is transmitted by the token read apparatus (4, 13 and 14) to at least a second communication apparatus (2). The second communication apparatus (2) can then build up a connection with the first communication apparatus (1).
Abstract:
A searching apparatus in a wireless network with at least three base stations is put in the position of identifying the available apparatuses and services which are in its proximity, in that the apparatuses Gi (i <> k) determine the signal strengths ss(i, j) at which they receive signals from the base stations Bi, and the apparatuses to be discovered send these signals to a searching apparatus Gk.

Abstract:
A light therapy device (1) comprises: at least one light source (2); a control device (10) for controlling the operation of the light source; a boundary memory (11) containing boundary information defining boundaries for the distance (D) and relative angle (f) of a user's head with respect to the light source; monitoring means (30) for monitoring the actual distance and actual relative angle of the user's head and generating an output signal indicating the measured distance and angle. The control device has an input coupled to the memory for receiving the boundary information, and has an input coupled to the monitoring means for receiving the output signal from the monitoring means. The control device compares the output signal from the monitoring means with the boundary information, and issues a warning signal when the actual position and/or orientation of the user's head and/or eyes is/are outside said boundaries.
Abstract:
A method for setting up individual access control permissions to provide access to one or more authorized persons for accessing at least a portion of information contained in a personal health record is disclosed. The method comprises judging the consequences of hiding at least the portion of the information contained in the personal health record based on reviewing the information contained in the personal health record and setting up individual access control permissions for each of the authorized persons based on the outcome of the judgment. The method is useful in systems that provide health care functionality such as physical devices, software products for personal health record servers, customer devices, services to end customers and personal health record operators.
