Apparatus, a system, a method and a computer program for erasing data stored on a storage device using a sequence of uncompressible data
An approach for erasing data being stored in a data storage apparatus is provided, which may be provided e.g. as an apparatus, as a method, as a system or as a computer program. A sequence of uncompressible data is obtained fulfilling predetermined criteria, which includes a statistical measure indicative of compressibility or uncompressibility of the sequence of uncompressible data meeting a predetermined criterion, wherein the sequence of uncompressible data is divided into one or more blocks of uncompressible data, the sum of the sizes of the one or more blocks of uncompressible data being larger than or equal to the storage capacity of the data storage apparatus. The one or more blocks of uncompressible data is provided to the data storage apparatus for storage therein to overwrite the data currently stored in the data storage apparatus.

There is provided a method and system for securely coupling and transferring data between devices. In a preferred embodiment, the devices may comprise two devices, a transferring device and a receiving device, and both devices are mobile devices. Embodiments of the present invention allow the wireless transfer of data such as contacts, photo images, video files, or other data from one device to another device, without need for special hardware or cabling.
There is disclosed systems and methods to enhance reliability of measured position data. Measuring devices, such mobile phones equipped with location measurement elements (such as GPS, LBS, network location reporting, or tower location triangulation reporting) may collect various samples of positions where the device is believed to be located at particular moments in time; however such measurements often vary even if the device is not moving because of device inaccuracy, atmospheric conditions, obstructing buildings, and the like, making it difficult to determine whether such devices are actually stationary or are in motion over predetermined time periods. Systems and methods of the present invention provide for enhanced accuracy of position data by selectively merging varying location positions that are attributable to noise or accuracy deviations, and providing an enhanced assessment of actual device position.
