  • Proactive data breach prevention in remote translation environments
    Patent number: 10936826
    Abstract: Techniques for proactive prevention of data breaches are provided. A first text segment corresponding to a sensitive entity is identified in a string of text, based on one or more security profiles. The first text segment in the string of text is replaced with a first entity holder. A first translation is generated by processing the string of text with a first translation service, and a second translation is generated by processing the first text segment with a second translation service, distinct from the first translation service. The first and second translations are merged to produce a final translation, where merging the first and second translations comprises removing the first entity holder from the final translation.

  • User identification on a per touch basis on touch sensitive devices
    Patent number: 10878217
    Abstract: Techniques for communicating particular information from a user to a touch screen device by way of a touch event is provided. Sensors that are operatively coupled to a sensing device sense an input from the user which conveys particular information. This input is then converted by the sensing device into another signal called the sensing device signal which is then transmitted from the sensing device to the user's skin. Then a second set of sensors that are operatively coupled to a touch device receive a user-touch signal that is transmitted from the user's body. The user-touch signal is based, at least in part on the sensing device signal. The touch device then decodes the user-touch signal to determine the location of the touch event on the touch device and sensing device signal embedded in the user-touch signal to extract the particular information related to the user.
