Patent number: 11948417Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for providing touchless visitor management. A visitor can complete a visitor registration process using a client device of the visitor and obtain a virtual badge credential to a visitor's device. A physical access control system credential as well as a visitor badge can also be obtained to the visitor's device.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Hemant Sahani, Saurav Choudhuri, Anoop Adur, Aditya Ulman

Patent number: 11900748Abstract: Methods and systems are described for analyzing and attesting physical access to a location. In an example, an administrator can create a survey for users in an organization. The survey can be sent to a user device as a notification. The user can complete the survey, and the user's physical access rights can be determined based on the survey answers. When the user attempts to gain access to a location of the organization, the user can provide a digital access badge. The digital access badge can be mapped to the user's access permissions. The user can be granted or denied access depending on whether the user answered the survey and, if answered, what answers the user provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Anoop Adur, Hemant Sahani, Saurav Choudhuri, Aditya Ulman, Ashka Vakil

Publication number: 20240031340Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for controlling and managing data access to increase user privacy and minimize intentional or inadvertent misuse of accessed information. Upon detecting a request for an administrator review of a user client device, permission for administrator access can be obtained from a user associated with the user client device. The client device identifier can be obfuscated such that the administrator accessing the data is not provided the actual device identifier. An administrator review session between the user client device and an administrator client device can be established to allow the administrator client device access to the permitted client device data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Hemant Sahani, Phillip Charles Krasko, Scott Harlow Kelley

Patent number: 11588904Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for management of contextual notifications on user devices. Entities can be categorized as VIP status based on scoring profiles sent from a management server to the user device. Applications on the user device can implement an SDK that reads the profiles and sets certain actions to boost scores and others to reduce scores. These local VIP scores can be sent periodically from the user device to the management server. The management server can use them in conjunction with global VIP scores for the same entities to create aggregated VIP information. This can be sent back to the user device, allowing the user device to then visualize different notifications or workflows based on whether an entity's aggregated VIP information exceeds one or more thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Hemant Sahani, Ian Ragsdale, Adam Cianfichi

Publication number: 20230016488Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for signing documents using mobile devices. A request is sent to a certificate authority for a signing certificate. The signing certificate is then received from the certificate authority. The signing certificate is then stored in the memory. Next, a file is received from a client application executed by the processor of the computing device. Then, the file is signed with the signing certificate to create a signed file. The signed file is then returned to the client application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: LUCAS CHEN, GAURAV ARORA, EVAN HURST, NICHOLAS GRIVAS, NICHOLAS BROUILLETTE, JUBIN BENNY, JASON RUBY, EUGENE LIDERMAN, HEMANT SAHANI

Patent number: 11275858Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for encrypting documents using mobile devices. A first application receives, from a second application a file and an identifier of a user account. The first application then sends a request for a certificate to a certificate authority and receives a certificate in response. The file is then encrypted using the certificate, and the encrypted file is returned to the second application. The second application can identify the user account as the recipient of a file. Then, the second application can send an encryption request that includes the identifier of the user account and the file to the first application. In response to the request, the second application receives the encrypted file and then provides the encrypted file to the recipient.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Lucas Chen, Gaurav Arora, Evan Hurst, Nicholas Grivas, Nicholas Brouillette, Jubin Benny, Jason Ruby, Eugene Liderman, Hemant Sahani
