  • Patent number: 11302129
    Abstract: Automatic retrieval using an electronic device of a previously known access code for a security device which includes identifying, using a computer, a security mechanism based on a proximity of a user to the security mechanism. The proximity of the user to the security mechanism is determined using location services for a mobile device of the user and first historical data which indicates a location of the security mechanism. Second historical data is analyzed, in response to identifying the security mechanism. An identified access code is selected based on the analysis of the second historical data. The selecting of the identified access code includes a reference relationship between the reference content, the security mechanism, and the access code. The identified access code is provided to the mobile device of the user for communication to the user, for the user to enter the code on the security mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9471332
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method of selecting graphical component types at runtime are provided. When a graphical component is to be displayed in a GUI, which usually has a type, the type of the GUI is first determined. Type in this case used to signify a look, feel and behavior that are to be exhibited by the graphical component. After determining the type of the GUI, the graphical component may be created based on the type of the GUI. After it has been created, the graphical component will be displayed in the GUI.

  • Patent number: 7502779
    Abstract: Searching for information in a distributed data processing system, including providing a semantics-based search index by storing in the semantics-bases search index search keywords from documents according to semantics from selected document structure templates, the document structure templates selected in dependence upon the structures of the documents and upon model document structures in the document structure templates; establishing a search scope corresponding to semantics supported by the semantics-based search index; receiving from a client a search query message comprising search terms and, optionally, the search scope; retrieving, from the semantics-based search index, index entries satisfying the search terms and the search scope; creating from the retrieved index entries a search result message; and transmitting the search result message to the client.

  • Publication number: 20040249824
    Abstract: Indexing information in a distributed data processing system, including providing document structure templates comprising model document structures and semantics for the model document structures; identifying the structure of a document; selecting a document structure template in dependence upon the structure of the document and the model document structures in the document structure templates; and storing search keywords from the document in records in a semantics-based search index according to the semantics from the selected document structure template. Selecting a document structure template in dependence upon the structure of the document and the model document structures in the document structure templates typically further comprises comparing the structure of the document and the model document structures in the templates; and selecting a template whose model document structure matches the structure of the document.
