Abstract

The invention relates to a knowledge-intensive arrangement (1) for handling of scattered data, said arrangement comprising at least devices (3-12, 44) interconnected via a network and provided with different properties and operating systems. The arrangement (1) comprises at least a communication means (2, 2a) conjectable to at least one of the devices (3-12, 44), said communication means (2, 2a) being provided with at least a communication element (14) for setting up a connection. The eommunieation means (2, 2a) has Been adapted to identify the user of the communication means (2, 2a) and, upon acceptable accomplishment of identification, to establish a verified and protected connection via the communication means (2, 2a) to the other devices (3-12, 44) connected to the arrangement (1).

Claims

11. Knowledge-intensive arrangement (1) for handling of scattered data, said arrangement comprising at least devices (3-12, 44), interconnected via a network and provided with different properties and operating systems, and a communication means (2, 2a) connectable to at least one of the devices (3-12, 44), said communication means (2, 2a) being provided with a communication element (14) for setting up a connection and adapted to identify the role or user of the communication means (2, 2a) and, upon acceptable accomplishment of identification, to establish a verified and protected connection via the communication means (2, 2a) to the other devices (3-12, 44) connected to the arrangement (1), characterized in that the communication means (2, 2a) contains a user identification module (18) protected by at least one or more firewalls (15, 20a-20c), and an algorithm module (21), said algorithm module (21) being adapted at least to verify the user identification module (18), and that the communication means (2, 2a) contains a grid module (17) protected by at least one or more firewalls (15, 20a-20c), said grid module (17) being arranged to use distributed grid processing in data transfer and processing.

12. Arrangement (1) according to claim 11, characterized in that the communication element (14) of the communication means (2, 2a) is an element forming a wireless UWB connection.

13. Arrangement (1) according to claim 11, characterized in that the algorithm module (21) has been adapted to verify the user identification module (18) in such manler that. via the algorithm module (21), all existing standards and corresponding definitions are interconnected so that they are mutually compatible and controlled by the algorithm module (21).

14. Arrangement (1) according to claim 11, characterized in that the communication means (2, 2a) contains one or more of the following facilities or functions, protected by one or more firewalls (15, 20a-20c):

facilities provided in the firewall (15) for performing XIP identification and IP tunneling;

a localization element (16);

facilities in the user identification module (18) for performing biometric identification, presence detection and personification;

a virtual FLASH component (19);

a shared data storage (22) for cooperative use, a local data storage (23), a hologrammatic model storage (24) and a learning algorithm module (25).

15. Arrangement (1) according to claim 11, characterized in that the communication means (2, 2a) contains facilities for reading electronic mail and mail attachments from an electronic mail server while protected against viruses and for sending electronic mail with attachments to an electronic mail server while protected against viruses, and that the communication means (2, 2a) contains facilities for storing electronic mail read from the server and for reading such mail in offline mode.

16. Arrangement (1) according to claim 11, characterized in that, to monitor, regulate and control the process, at least the following steps are performed via the communication means (2, 2a):

identification of the role of the communication means (2, 2a);

allowing and implementing the set-up of connections to semantic data storages (43) and databases comprised in the arrangement (1) via communication means (2, 2a) involved in the process;

parallel, multi-channel, real-time and interactive distribution of information concerning the process steps to be monitored, regulated and controlled to communication means (2, 2a) involved in the process.

17. Arrangement (1) according to claim 16, characterized in that, in the identification of the role of the communication means (2, 2a), the role is that of the user of a detached communication means (2) or a role related to the location and function of the communication means (2a), and that the algorithm module (21) of the communication means (2, 2a) contains means for performing the functions of each role.

18. Arrangement (1) according to claim 16, characterized in that one or more communication means (2, 2a) are connected to different stages in the papermaking process in a process apparatus, such as a paper machine, to monitor, observe, control and regulate the process in such manner that the scattered sensor and measurement data obtained in different formats from the production process is passed to be handled by the algorithm module (21) of the communication means (2, 2a) monitoring each point in the process, and that all data to be handled is distributed to all communication means involved so as to have the data processed in a parallel and substantially simultaneous (2, 2a) manner, and that the algorithm modules (21) of the communication means (2, 2a) are provided with means for giving instructions and changes to the process.
