Abstract

A method for transferring a transfer credit amount from a first credit memory assigned to a first telecommunications terminal to a second credit memory assigned to a second telecommunications terminal, the first telecommunications terminal having at least one first sensor, and the second telecommunications terminal having at least one second sensor, includes adding a credit amount to the first credit inventory. Events are generated based on sensor signals of the sensors.

Dependent claims

A method for transferring a transfer credit amount from a first credit memory assigned to a first telecommunications terminal to a second credit memory is assigned to a second telecommunications terminal, wherein the first telecommunications terminal comprises at least one first sensor and wherein the second telecommunications terminal comprises at least one second sensor, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

in a first step a credit amount is added to the first credit memory;
in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the transfer credit amount, as part of the first credit memory, is selected for transfer;
in a third step, subsequent to the second step, the first and second telecommunications terminals are brought spatially close to one another and first event information is generated by the first telecommunications terminal on the basis of a first sensor signal from the at least one first sensor of the first telecommunications terminal, and second event information is generated by the second telecommunications terminal on the basis of a second sensor signal from the at least one second sensor of the second telecommunications terminal;
in a fourth step, subsequent to the third step, first transfer information is transferred by the first telecommunications terminal to a third-party entity, wherein the first transfer information is the first event information or encrypted and/or anonymized event information generated in accordance with the first event information;
in a fifth method step, subsequent to the third method step, second transfer information is transferred by the second telecommunications terminal to the third-party entity wherein the second transfer information is the second event information or encrypted and/or anonymized event information generated in accordance with the second event information;
and
in a sixth step, subsequent to the fourth and fifth steps, the transfer of the transfer credit amount from the first credit memory of the first telecommunications terminal to the second credit memory assigned to the second telecommunications terminal is authorized by the third-party entity depending on a comparison between the first and second transfer information or depending on a comparison between two items of information derived from the first and second transfer information.

A system for transferring a transfer credit amount from a first credit memory assigned to a first telecommunications terminal to a second credit memory assigned to a second telecommunications terminal, wherein the system comprises:

the first telecommunications terminal;
the second telecommunications terminal;
and
a third-party entity;
wherein the first telecommunications terminal comprises at least one first sensor and wherein the second telecommunications terminal comprises at least one second sensor;
wherein the first telecommunications terminal is configured for a credit amount to be added to the first credit memory;
wherein the first telecommunications terminal is configured for the transfer credit amount, as part of the first credit memory, to he selected for transfer;
wherein the first and second telecommunications terminals are configured to be brought spatially close to one another and wherein the first telecommunications terminal is configured to generate first event information on the basis of a first sensor signal from the at least one first sensor of the first telecommunications terminal, and wherein the second telecommunications terminal is configured to generate second event information on the basis of a second sensor signal from the at least one second sensor of the second telecommunications terminal;
wherein the first telecommunications terminal is configured to transfer first transfer information to the third-party entity, wherein the first transfer information is the first event information or encrypted and/or anonymized event information generated in accordance with the first event information;
wherein the second telecommunications terminal is configured to transfer second transfer information to the third-party entity, wherein the second transfer information is the second event information or encrypted and/or anonymized event information generated in accordance with the second event information;
and
wherein the third-party entity is configured to authorize the transfer of the transfer credit amount from the first credit memory of the first telecommunications terminal to the second credit memory assigned to the second telecommunications terminal depending on a comparison between the first and second transfer information or depending on a comparison between two items of information derived from the first and second transfer information, and to decline the transfer of the transfer credit amount from the first credit memory of the first telecommunications terminal to the second credit memory assigned to the second telecommunications terminal if the first and second transfer information or the two items of information derived from the first and second transfer information have a difference from one another that exceeds a predetermined measure.
