A method for operating an electronic device to configure a subject device, the method comprising steps of: receiving an intent from a subject device, wherein the received intent comprises an action identifier identifying an action the subject device wishes to perform; receiving action data about the received intent from an intent store, wherein the action data comprises an action associated with each action identifier, and at least one constraint associated with the action; and generating invocation data to perform the action, wherein the invocation data comprises the action identifier, and zero or more parameters.

Managing interaction constraints

Access to a resource controlled by a resource server () is provided using a validity token issued by a validation server (). When a resource request from a user () is received at the resource server (), then the resource server () determines if the resource request satisfies a policy. If the resource request satisfies the policy, then access to the resource may be permitted without confirming the validity of the validation token with the validation server (). Conversely, if the resource request does not satisfy the policy, then validation of the validation token with the validation server () is performed before the access requested is permitted.

Resource access control using a validation token

There is provided a method of scanning for a remote device, the method comprising: generating, at a data processing device, a search input; transforming, at the data processing device, the search input to provide a transformed output, wherein the transformed output is representative of the search input; transmitting, a communication comprising the transformed output from the data processing device to the remote device; receiving, at the data processing a device, a communication from the remote device based on the transformed output.

Method and device for scanning for data processing devices

Techniques for controlling the provision of data to a requester use a local device communicating with a personal computing device. The personal computing device has an authorized state and an unauthorized state. If the personal computing device is proximal to the local device when the local device receives the request for data from the requester, then the personal computing device uses permission data it stores to determine whether the request is or is not a permitted request. If the request is a permitted request, then the personal computing device sends a message to a token issuing device to issue a token request to the requester. The requester then uses this token to access a third party device holding the data to which it seeks access.

Controlling authorization within computer systems

Proximity of a wearable processing device to a data processing apparatus is detected based on wireless signals received by the data processing apparatus from the wearable processing device. A user input operation is detected which comprises a physical interaction with the data processing apparatus. In response to detecting the user input operation, at least one detection parameter is calibrated for the proximity detection. This provides a convenient technique for calibrating the proximity detection which does not require complicated operations from the user.
