Abstract
Abstract In a system for checking the access to data of a data unit (T10, T20, T30), the data unit is connected to a public network (V2) and is capable of exchanging data with a second subscriber (T4) over this network. In order that an authorized subscriber has access to the data of the data unit even without a secret telephone number, an adapter (T15, T25, T35) is allocated to the data unit (T10, T20, T30), which adapter can be dialled over a secured network (V1). The adapter (T15, T25, T35) is arranged in such a way that, in response to being dialled over the secured network (V1), the adapter causes the data unit (T10, T20, T30) to dial the second subscriber (T4) whose telephone number is stored in a memory (T11, T21, T31) allocated to data unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A system for checking access via a public network to data of a data unit by a subscriber station, comprising: (a) the data unit, (b) the subscriber station, (c) a secured data network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (d) the public network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (e) said data unit having an adaptor, said data unit being connected to the secured network via said adaptor, in response to the subscriber station making a dialed call via the secured network, the dialled call being to and received by the data unit, said adaptor causing the data unit to dial the subscriber station via the public network for establishing a connection between the data unit and the subscriber station for data exchange therebetween, wherein the data unit is a data bank, and the adaptor causes the data unit to dial without receiving a secret code unique to the subscriber station.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
157 words
A system for checking access via a public network to data of a data unit by a subscriber station, comprising: (a) the data unit, (b) the subscriber station, (c) a secured data network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (d) the public network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (e) said data unit having an adaptor, said data unit being connected to the secured network via said adaptor, in response to the subscriber station making a dialed call via the secured network, the dialled call being to and received by the data unit, said adaptor causing the data unit to dial the subscriber station via the public network for establishing a connection between the data unit and the subscriber station for data exchange therebetween, wherein the data unit is a data bank, and the adaptor causes the data unit to dial without receiving a secret code unique to the subscriber station.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
161 words
A system for checking access via a public network to data of a data unit by a subscriber station, comprising: (a) the data unit, (b) the subscriber station, (c) a secured data network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (d) the public network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (e) said data unit having an adaptor, said data unit being connected to the secured network via said adaptor, in response to the subscriber station making a dialed call via the secured network, the dialled call being to and received by the data unit, said adaptor causing the data unit to dial the subscriber station via the public network for establishing a connection between the data unit and the subscriber station for data exchange therebetween, wherein said data unit has a memory for storing the telephone number of the subscriber station, and wherein said data unit has a picture encoder for connection to the public network.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
161 words
A system for checking access via a public network to data of a data unit by a subscriber station, comprising: (a) the data unit, (b) the subscriber station, (c) a secured data network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (d) the public network connected to the data unit and the subscriber station, (e) said data unit having an adaptor, said data unit being connected to the secured network via said adaptor, in response to the subscriber station making a dialed call via the secured network, the dialled call being to and received by the data unit, said adaptor causing the data unit to dial the subscriber station via the public network for establishing a connection between the data unit and the subscriber station for data exchange therebetween, wherein said data unit has a memory for storing the telephone number of the subscriber station, and wherein said data unit has a picture encoder for connection to the public network.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for gathering secured data from remote subscriber stations comprising the following steps: at a central subscriber station, initiating a first call over a first point to point line of a first, secured network; at a remote subscriber station, receiving the call over a second point to point line of the secured network, within the remote subscriber station, communicating, from a first adapter coupled to the second point to point line to a second adapter coupled to a second, public network, that the call has been received; within the remote subscriber station, initiating a second call via the public network to the central subscriber station; in the central subscriber station, receiving the second call; and providing the data from the remote subscriber station to the central subscriber station via the second call.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for gathering secured data from remote subscriber stations comprising the following steps: at a central subscriber station, initiating a first call over a first point to point line of a first, secured network; at a remote subscriber station, receiving the call over a second point to point line of the secured network, within the remote subscriber station, communicating, from a first adapter coupled to the second point to point line to a second adapter coupled to a second, public network, that the call has been received; within the remote subscriber station, initiating a second call via the public network to the central subscriber station; in the central subscriber station, receiving the second call; and providing the data from the remote subscriber station to the central subscriber station via the second call.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 15 wherein the data is video data from a plurality of video cameras at the remote station.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
93 words
A secured data monitoring system comprising: a central subscriber station including: means for initiating a first call along a secured network; and means for receiving a second call along a public network; and at least one remote subscriber station [(T1, T2, and T3)]including: means for gathering data; means for receiving the first call; means for initiating the second call in response to the first call; and means for providing the data to the central subscriber station via the second call; whereby the central subscriber station monitors data gathering at the remote subscriber station.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
93 words
A secured data monitoring system comprising: a central subscriber station including: means for initiating a first call along a secured network; and means for receiving a second call along a public network; and at least one remote subscriber station [(T1, T2, and T3)]including: means for gathering data; means for receiving the first call; means for initiating the second call in response to the first call; and means for providing the data to the central subscriber station via the second call; whereby the central subscriber station monitors data gathering at the remote subscriber station.
