Abstract
The invention relates to a device, in particular a power bank (20), comprising: at least one port (24) for connecting the device to a terminal (10); at least one memory (22) for storing useful data; at least one rechargeable battery (26) for supplying a charging current to the terminal; at least one computer unit (21); wherein the computer unit (21) is configured, in particular programmed, a) to send an authentication request (Req1) to the terminal (10); and b) to receive a response (Res1) to the authentication request (Req1), wherein the charging current is interrupted within a charging interval (L1, L2, L3) or the charging interval (L1, L2, L3) is not initialized if successful authentication is not carried out by means of the authentication request and response.
Claims19
A device, comprising:
- at least one port for connecting the device to a terminal;
- at least one memory for storing useful data;
- at least one rechargeable battery for supplying a charging current to the terminal;
- at least one computer unit;
- characterized in that the computer unit is configured
- a) to send an authentication request to the terminal;
- and
- b) to receive a response to the authentication request, wherein the charging current is interrupted within a charging interval or the charging interval is not initialized if successful authentication is not carried out by means of the authentication request and response.
System, comprising:
- a device having:
- at least one port for connecting the device to a terminal;
- at least one memory for storing useful data;
- at least one rechargeable battery for supplying a charging current to the terminal;
- at least one computer unit;
- characterized in that the computer unit is configured
- a) to send an authentication request to the terminal;
- and
- b) to receive a response to the authentication request, wherein the charging current is interrupted within a charging interval or the charging interval is not initialized if successful authentication is not carried out by means of the authentication request and response;
- and
- a terminal containing an application which is configured to respond to the authentication request.
Method for charging a terminal, comprising the steps:
- receiving an authentication request from a connected device
- checking whether the data to be displayed are visible on a display of the terminal;
- processing the authentication request;
- sending a response to the authentication request only when the data are visible on the display;
- changing over to a charging interval for charging the terminal.
