Title: Data tokenization
Inventor: ANJA LEHMANN
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2018-04-10
Abstract: A data-source computer provides message data, having associated id data, to be sent to a data-collection computer; produces a blinded id by blinding the id data using a nonce; sends the blinded id to a tokenization computer; and sends the nonce and the message data via a network for receipt by the data-collection computer. In response, the tokenization computer produces a blinded token comprising a function, blinded with the nonce, of the id data and a secret key of the tokenization computer, and sends the blinded token to the data-collection computer. The data-collection computer, in response, uses the nonce to unblind the blinded token to obtain an id token which comprises a deterministic function of the id data and the secret key. The data-collection computer then stores the id token and the message data in storage operatively coupled to the data-collection computer.

Patent GB-2603126-A (GB)
Title: Method for processing a frame
Inventor: YACINE EL KOLLI
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2021-01-22
Abstract: Groups of image capture devices 110a-110zz receive synchronisation signals from sync apparatus 111a – 111zz in order for several devices to capture the same scene at the same time for e.g. user interactive access to different views of a televised event. Plural connections run from the sync apparatus to a network 120 which receives time signals from a primary and backup time server 130a, b. Sync messages from the servers need to be sent on the primary and backup routes to avoid sync loss during a link failure, however due to problems with loops in redundant networks, the spanning tree protocol (STP) is also used for routing messages, which will disable some links which need to be used for sending the sync messages on both networks. The invention therefore proposes routing sync messages on both the primary and backup networks, whilst non-sync messages are routed via a separate route (405, fig.4a) which uses STP. VLANs are used where frames carrying messages are tagged as sync or non-sync frames.
