Title: Payment method and system
Inventor: SPIEGEL HARALD
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2006-09-28
Abstract: Method and system for secure handling of electronic financial services with the aid of an electronic financial services exchanger Defined is a method of exchanging, handling and controlling electronic financial services, particularly mobile electronic financial services from various financial service providers to authorized users with a wide variety of communication devices (both stationary and mobile).    The system provides for the exchange of electronic financial services all services of the connected transaction handling systems 20, 21 from financial service providers 43, 44 in the form of a standardized platform by means of corresponding interfaces 13, 14 irrespective of the way in which the individual transaction handling systems 20, 21 are linked to the electronic financial services exchanger 10.     The principle of the electronic financial services exchanger 10 now permits flexible linking of differing communication devices 30, 31 as well as various transaction handling systems 20, 21 from a variety of different financial service providers 43, 44.     Confidential data requiring a secure exchange is now no longer done directly from communication device 30 to communication device 31 but - where possible at all - via standardized maximum security communication links and the electronic financial services exchanger 10 in the sense of a platform.     The transaction partners, users 40 and 41 are established via a token loop (e.g. TAN loop). For each financial transaction the electronic financial services exchanger 10 generates a token (e.g.  TAN) 42 which is communicated to the user 41 in the role of the transaction initiator, received by the other user 40 by an intentional transaction and returned as confirmation to the electronic financial services exchanger 10.

Title: Device and method for analyzing an information signal
Inventor: ALLAMANCHE ERIC
IPC: G10L25/48
Filed: 2005-05-09
Abstract: In order to analyze an information signal, which has a series of blocks of information units, whereby a number of successive blocks of the series of blocks depicts an information entity, identification results for successive fingerprints are prepared (12) while using a series of fingerprints for the series of blocks, whereby an identification result depicts an association of a block of information units with a predetermined information entity. After this, at least two hypotheses are formed (14) from the identification results for the successive fingerprints. A first hypothesis is an assumption for the association of the series of blocks with a first information entity, and the second hypothesis is an assumption for the association of the series of blocks with the second information entity. Afterwards, different hypotheses are tested (16) in order to obtain a test result on the basis of which an assertion concerning the information signal is made (20). This results in obtaining a meaningful and reliable continuous-time analysis of an information signal.

Abstract: A method of establishing a path through an optical communications network is disclosed. Previously known method for establishing a path through an optical communications network include checking the viability of an end-to-end path once the complete end-to-end path has been selected. However, additional (and hence wasted) processing may be expended in selecting an end-to-end path that turns out not to be viable this increasing the network operating costs. In the proposed method one or more partial paths are evaluated according to a first criterion, candidate end-to-end paths are then evaluated according to a second criterion, wherein the end-to-end path evaluation disregards candidate end-to-end paths that include partial paths not meeting the first criterion. A path is established by selecting one of the candidate end-to-end paths on the basis of the second criterion
