Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of protected data using specifically coded access objects on mobile terminal devices and specifically to a method end a server for enabling a user to re obtain a SCAO of a mobile terminal device that has been lost. The method of the invention provides a possibility for re-dispatching a SCAO from a server to a terminal device via a receiving at a server at least one terminal device identification and/or authentication data and determining if said identification and/or authentication data identifies a terminal identification as being related to a terminal for which an initial specifically coded access object has previously been generated. The method is continued by obtaining at said server a secondary specifically coded access object according to a received terminal identification if a received terminal identification has been identified as a terminal for which an initial specifically coded access object has previously been generated. The method may be terminated by sending said secondary specifically coded access object to said terminal device 15 via said network, said terminal device having a terminal device identification said secondary specifically coded access object has been obtained for.

Claims

1. Method for re-dispatching a specifically coded access object from a server to a terminal device via a communication network, comprising:

receiving at a server at least one terminal device identification and/or authentication data;

determining if said identification and/or authentication data identifies a terminal identification as being related to a terminal for which an initial specifically coded access object has previously been generated,

obtaining at said server a secondary specifically coded access object according to a received terminal identification if a received terminal identification has been identified as a terminal for which an initial specifically coded access object has previously been generated, and

sending said secondary specifically coded access object to said terminal device via said network, said terminal device having a terminal device identification for which said secondary specifically coded access object has been obtained.

2. Method according to claim 1, further comprising storing said initial specifically coded access object in a preceding step at said server.

3. Method according to claim 2, wherein said initial specifically coded access object is stored after an initial generation of said initial specifically coded access object.

4. Method according to claim 2, wherein said initial specifically coded access object is stored after a reception of said initial specifically coded access object from a terminal device during an online access.

5. Method according to claim 2, wherein said step of obtaining at said server said secondary specifically coded access object is performed by retrieving said previously stored initial specifically coded access object.

6. Method according to claim 2, wherein two terminal device identifications are received, namely a first device identification and a second device identification, and wherein said step of obtaining at said server a specifically coded access object is performed by decoding said previously stored first specifically coded access object according to said first received device identification and generating said secondary specifically coded access object for transmission according to said second received device identification.

7. Method according to claim 1, wherein two terminal device identifications are received, namely a first device identification and a second device identification and wherein further an initial specifically coded access object is received at said server, said specifically coded access object being coded according to said first device identification, and

wherein said step of obtaining at said server said secondary specifically coded access object is performed by decoding said received initial specifically coded access object according to said first received device identification and generating said secondary specifically coded access object for transmission according to said second received device identification.

12.
