An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile. The sensor apparatus is paired to a subscriber account before first use, thereby allowing secure initialization.

Trigger event based response execution with secure initialization

The aspects of the present disclosure allow an extremely simple way to interact with e.g. various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press. An identification message is sent from a sensor apparatus, over a wireless communication network, in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus. The identification message includes a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus. The identification message is received at a network server. A pre-configured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message is accessed by the network server. A response action is caused to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile.

Trigger event based response execution

The disclosed embodiments allow an extremely simple and inexpensive way to interact with various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press, and with enhanced data security. A session login request includes a user identification and an identifier of a sensor apparatus associated with the user is received at a first network server from a user terminal. In response to successfully authenticating the user identification, an association request comprising the received identifier of the sensor apparatus is sent to a second network server. A reference identifier associated with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is generated at the second network server. The generated reference identifier mapped with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is stored at the second network server. Then, the generated reference identifier is sent to the first network server for storage.
