Abstract

Das Verfahren zum Schutz eines Gerätes vor einem Betreiben mit unzulässigem Verbrauchsmaterial, dessen Authentizität in einem entfernten Datenzentrum überprüft wird, umfaßt die Schritte:

  • Generieren von mindestens einem Codewort,
  • Speicherung einer Zuordnung zu einem bestimmten Verbrauchsmaterial in Form eines Datensatzes mit Referenzcodewort,
  • Aggregation des Verbrauchsmaterials mit dem generierten Codewort, welches in vorbestimmter Beziehung zum Referenzcodewort oder zu einer Gruppe von Referenzcodewörtern steht, welche im Datenzentrum gespeichert vorliegen,
  • Erkennen einer Operation des Wechselns eines Verbrauchsmaterials im Gerät, Herstellen einer Kommunikationsverbindung zum entfernten Datenzentrum und Übermittellung des mit dem Verbrauchsmaterial aggregierten Codewortes,
  • Empfangen des übermittelten Codewortes im Datenzentrum und Überprüfung der Authentizität des Verbrauchsmaterials anhand der gespeicherten Referenzcodewörter sowie
  • Empfangen einer Benachrichtigung für das Gerät nach Überprüfung des Codes im Datenzentrum.

The procedure for protecting a device against operation with impermissible consumables, the authenticity of which is checked in a remote data center, comprises the steps:
  • Generating at least one code word,
  • Storage of an assignment to a specific consumable in the form of a data record with reference code word,
  • Aggregation of the consumables with the generated code word, which has a predetermined relationship to the reference code word or to a group of reference code words which are stored in the data center,
  • Recognizing an operation of changing a consumable in the device, establishing a communication connection to the remote data center and transmitting the code word aggregated with the consumable,
  • Receiving the transmitted code word in the data center and checking the authenticity of the consumables on the basis of the stored reference code words and
  • Receive a notification for the device after checking the code in the data center.
