Title: Remote access to autonomous device information through intelligible language messages
Inventor: CLARKSON MELVIN PAUL
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 2013-04-18
Abstract: A remote device 9 contains a memory 8 programmed with encoded intelligible language messages. Access to information on the device is automatically started on an electrical connection made through the mechanical connection of a telephone handset. DTMF tones from the handset are used to request data and are decoded by 3. The microcontroller 4 interprets the request and passes intelligible messages encoded in memory 8 to the audio interface 5 to generate an intelligible language message representing the information required over the handset. May be used to obtain information, in spoken form, from an industrial controller (eg controlling an industrial process in a factory or controlling vehicle traffic) using only a telephone handset.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: DONG OLIVIER
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: A communication device 3 is described, which controls interaction between applications 47 and another communication device 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4 accessible via said communication device. The communication device obtains information identifying the other communication device, and information identifying each (or a list of local or remote) application(s) authorised to interact with that other communication device. When a request is received from an application to interact with the other communication device, the communication device determines 49, using said obtained information, whether or not said requesting application is authorised to interact with the other communication device; and allows or rejects the interaction in dependence on a result of said determination. One embodiment is such that only particular application(s) can access data from a particular sensor 2-3, 2-4 with e.g. application specific access. When the device is embodied as a smartphone or tablet 3 the authorisations may be obtained from a Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) entity or SIM card/UICC 38 which may be updated by a provisioning server 55 by way of Universal SIM Application Toolkit (USAT) refresh message. The other communication device(s) may, for example, be sensor(s) in a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) arrangement. Devices/sensors may be identified by Bluetooth or MAC addresses and used in conjunction with a list of associated authorised applications (e.g. application names). Data obtained from the external device(s) and stored at the device may be access controlled such that the data is only accessible by authorised applications.
