Abstract
A method for activating a service associated with an object includes acquiring a position by a geolocation system of a device rigidly attached to the object; calculating an activation code from the acquired position; displaying the activation code; transmitting the activation code by an electronic mobile terminal including a wireless interface to a remote entity; receiving a response code by the electronic mobile terminal, the response code being generated by the remote entity; acquiring the response code by an input interface of the device; decoding the response code by the device; generating a command for unlocking a service associated with the object rigidly attached to said device.
Claims21
A method for activating a service associated with an object comprising:
- acquiring a position by means of a geolocation system of a device rigidly attached to said object;
- calculating an activation code based on the acquired position the activation code encoding by digital compression a geographic position acquired so as to reduce the number of symbols of said acquired position;
- displaying the activation code by means of a display of the device;
- transmitting the activation code by means of an electronic mobile terminal including a wireless interface to a remote entity from a data network;
- receiving a response code by the mobile electronic terminal, said response code being generated by the remote entity;
- acquiring said response code by the device;
- decoding the response code by a calculator and a memory of the device;
- generating a command for unlocking a service associated with the object rigidly attached to said device.
An access device to a fire hydrant comprising:
- a fastener for making said access device rigidly attached to said fire hydrant
- a hydraulic unit for conveying a volume of water taken to an outlet of the device;
- a water meter for measuring water consumption;
- an interface for acquiring a signal delivering a position of said device, said signal being emitted from a location or geolocation system;
- a calculator for generating an activation code encoded from the position of the device, said activation code encoding by digital compression the geographic position acquired so as to reduce the number of symbols of said acquired position;
- a display for displaying the activation code;
- at least one battery to supply power to the components of the device;
- a user interface to define a response code to activate or not a service associated with the fire hydrant.
An access device to a bicycle including:
- a fastener for making said access device rigidly attached to a bicycle;
- a lock actuated by a command of the device in order to block the riding function of the bicycle;
- an interface for acquiring a signal delivering a position of said device, said signal being emitted from a location or geolocation system;
- a calculator for generating an activation code encoded from the position of the device, said activation code encoding by digital compression the geographic position acquired so as to reduce the number of symbols of said acquired position;
- a display for displaying the activation code;
- at least one battery for supplying power to the components of said device, said battery being powered by a system that recovers the kinetic energy of the bicycle;
- a user interface for defining a response code to activate or not a service associated with the bicycle.
