  • Publication number: 20200296205
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing distracted driving are disclosed herein. A mobile device may receive one or more beacon signals emitted from one or more beacons located at different locations within a vehicle. The mobile device determines whether the mobile device is located within the vehicle. The mobile device disables one or more functions of the mobile device if determined to be in the vehicle. The mobile device then determines whether to re-enable at least one of the disabled functions.

  • Patent number: 9773107
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein relate to enhancing security on a device by configuring one or more software functions in a trusted zone of a processor using object firewalls, IPC mechanisms, and/or a policy engine. An inter-process communication mechanism and inter-process communication bus enable secure inter-process communication between inter-process communication applications within the trusted zone and inter-process communication applications external to the trusted zone. Adapting, filtering, blocking, redirecting, or otherwise modifying inter-process communications is enabled by the inter-process communications mechanism. Modifications may be controlled by a policy engine within the trusted zone.

  • Publication number: 20160112871
    Abstract: A system and method for restricting access to information using short range wireless communications, the system is provided. The system and method include a short range wireless network serving a predetermined enabled location. The network is configured to provide authentication data to a computing device. The authentication data specific may be specific to an enabled location and may further include a unique identifier. The network is configured to receive from authentication data from the computing device. The network is further configured to verify the authentication data received from the computing device and, upon verification, the network permits communication between the computing device and the network for the enabled location.

  • Publication number: 20140273857
    Abstract: A system for short-range communications includes a device and a server. The mobile device receives information via short range wireless signals, processes that information, and transmits information to the server. The server uses the information to verify that the information from the device is consistent with a device currently located in the location. Such verification may be done using cryptographic or signal processing techniques.

  • Publication number: 20140282992
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for securing devices in which a secure external authentication token is used to verify user credentials prior to enabling the operating system of the device by loading or decrypting the operating system. Suitable external authentication tokens can include smartcards such as a common access card and may be verified by cryptographic processes either at a local server or via a remote credentials processor.

  • Publication number: 20140283136
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying a computing device and/or the user of such a device and granting or prohibit access to one or more devices based on the location of the computing device. User devices include receivers and emitters for localization signals, and behavior of user devices or user interaction devices are modified according to received localization signals. Example systems may provide tracking media streaming to local devices, automatic configuration of transmitters, or adaptation of multi-user interactions based on user location.
