  • Patent number: 11539608
    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for responsive web page delivery based on network bandwidth. Upon initiation of a network communication session, a bandwidth of a network connection of the client device involved in the network communication session is determined. At least one initial display element to provide as part of a webpage for display on the client device is selected based on the bandwidth of the network connection. Instructions are then provided to the client device which cause the client device to display the at least one display element. In some embodiments, an updated bandwidth is subsequently determined and updated display elements are selected based on the updated bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 11449594
    Abstract: A method and a system for authenticating users by implementing artificial intelligence techniques is provided. A graphical user interface (GUI) is rendered on a computing device of a user by a server. The GUI displays objects in random motion. The objects are selected in a sequential manner by the user to form a pattern. With each selection of the object, a corresponding confidence score is determined that is based on a set of factors. Further, the selected object becomes static and the remaining objects that are yet to be selected continue to move in random motion. On forming the pattern, the aggregate of confidence scores is determined to authenticate the user.
