Method for anonymously associating measurement device measurements to a source ID
First Claim
1. Method for anonymously associating measurement device measurements to a source, the method comprising:
- registering the source in a server, the source being assigned a first ID;
registering a measurement device in the server, the measurement device being assigned a second ID;
in response to a measurement of the source being taken by the measurement device, sending, from a communication device associated with the source to the server through a first communication channel, the first ID and a first set of metadata that includes at least one parameter that is not a time parameter;
upon the measurement of the source being taken by the measurement device, sending, from the measurement device to the server through a second communication channel, the measurement, the second ID, and a second set of metadata that includes at least one parameter that is not a time parameter;
performing a comparison, in the server, of the first set of metadata with each of a plurality of sets of metadata correspondingly sent to the server by a plurality of measurement devices registered in the server;
associating, in the server, the first ID with the measurement corresponding to the second set of metadata based on results of the comparison.

Abstract
Proposed invention refers to a method for anonymously associating health monitoring device measurements to a user ID. The invention comprises the steps of: registering in a server a user associated with an ID and a first set of metadata; registering a health monitoring device associated to a second ID and a second set of metadata; then, sending through a first communication channel the ID associated to the user and the first set of metadata to the server by a communication device; taking a measurement of the user by the health monitoring device and sending through a second communication channel said measurement associated to the second ID and the second set of metadata to the server; comparing the metadata stored in the server; and finally associating the first ID with the measurements taken by the health monitoring device corresponding to the second set of metadata, being based the association on the results of the previous comparison.

14. System for anonymously associating measurement device measurements to a source ID, the system comprising:
-
a communication device configured to, in response to a measurement of a source being taken, send a first ID and a first set of metadata comprising a plurality of parameters to a server through a first communication channel; a measurement device configured to take the measurement of the source and send the measurement, a second ID, and a second set of metadata comprising a plurality of parameters to the server through a second communication channel; a server configured to receive messages from the communication device and the measurement device, perform a comparison of corresponding parameters of the sets of metadata included in the messages, and associate the first ID with the measurement taken by the measurement device according to results of the comparison.

15. Server for anonymously associating measurement device measurements to a source ID, the server comprising:
-
an interface that receives messages sent from a communication device through a first communication channel and from a measurement device through a second communication channel; and a matching component that compares respective values of a plurality of metadata parameters included in each of the messages and associates the source ID with measurements taken by the measurement device according to results of comparing the respective values of the metadata parameters included in the messages.
