Title: Data protection
Inventor: FAULKS MICHAEL
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2018-01-11
Abstract: A system comprising at least one IoT (Internet of Things) sensor, a database (DB) and one or more users connected via networks. The DB creates manufacturer and user public/private key pairs Mpub/Mpri and Upub/Upri respectively. Mpub is sent to the sensor 100/104 and Upri is sent to the user 102. Mpri and Upub are stored by the DB. The DB also stores user/sensor ownership claims. The sensor creates a first ‘readings key’ Saes (preferably a symmetrical key, preferably an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key) encrypts it with Mpub and transmits it to the DB 108, preferably with a sensor ID. The DB validates this message and, if successful, encrypts Upub using Saes and transmits it to the sensor 110. The sensor decrypts Upub, creates a second ‘readings key’ Raes encrypts it with Upub and transmits it to the DB 112. Subsequently sensor readings are encrypted with Raes and transmitted to the DB 114. Upon request the DB transmits the encrypted Raes and readings to the user, who decrypts Raes using Upri and thence the readings with Raes 116.

A divided fee may be paid 306, 308 to the liquidity pool’s creator 204 or those who provided initial liquidity to the pool 206. The liquidity pool may be funded by either fiat currency or cryptocurrency, and may be governed by a smart contract 100 on a blockchain. The stake may be held by a temporary escrow 212 before being transferred to the liquidity pool. The method may be used to replace a human intermediary in stock or foreign currency exchanges, invoice factoring, sports betting or online casino gambling.

Title: Species and object recognition in photographs
Inventor: Moncef Benboubakeur
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2018-09-19
Abstract: A method is provided of identifying an object from a photograph, wherein the photograph comprises one or more markers from a list of predefined markers stored in a database. Each marker includes a property of the object, a measured value of the property, identification of an entity that measured the value of the property, and an association with one or more species of object. One or more species of object associated with each marker present in the photograph is identified by comparing the measured values of the properties with classifiers of species listed in the database. A species confidence level is determined for each identified species by comparing the measured values with threshold values stored in the database for each identified species, and the species having the highest confidence level is selected. Alternatively, a species matching factor for each identified species is determined as a numerical percentage of markers required to meet or exceed a threshold value for the identified species. A ratio of strength of each marker is determined for each object species by multiplying a species weighting factor with the species matching factor. A species confidence level is then determined by comparing the strength ratios of the markers with threshold values stored in the database for each identified species.
