  • Patent number: 9398013
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing a user to access enterprise resources comprising authentication devices and an authentication server. The authentication devices allow a user to enter authentication data. The authentication server is in communication with the authentication devices. The authentication server comprises a policy database storing a policy. The policy comprises guidelines including a first guideline establishes a qualification necessary for the user to access enterprise resources and a second guideline establishes a qualification necessary for the user to activate a silent signal. The authentication server is adapted to request assistance for the user if the silent signal is activated.

  • Patent number: 8132226
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product that utilizes measurements for the authentication of users to enterprise resources. The system includes an authentication server that stores the engine and collections of data required by the system to authenticate users. The collections of data include templates, policies, groups, device IDS, user IDS, computer IDS and application IDS. In the present invention, it is the policies that determine the way or method in which a user is to be authenticated by the system. The pre-defined polices include an OR policy, an AND policy, a CONTINGENT policy, a RANDOM policy and a THRESHOLD policy, a multi-user policy, a multi-location policy, a multi-template policy, a user dependent policy, a location restriction policy, and a computer/device specific policy.

  • Publication number: 20060029040
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided. A request is received from a first device through a network. Local content is selected from a group of different local content to send to the first device via the network, where the selecting of the local content is based on an indicator included with the request. Audio data may be sent with the selected local content to the first device via the network.

  • Publication number: 20050010424
    Abstract: A method, program and system for fulfilling orders is provided by the present invention. The invention includes receiving a product order that specifies product type and quantity and then printing a document that lists the content of the order. An order identification code (i.e. barcode) on the document is input by warehouse personnel. Next a product identification code taken from a physical product is input and compared with the product order. If the product corresponding to the product identification code is part of the order, acquisition of the product is confirmed and it is toward completion of the order. If the product corresponding to the product identification code is not part the order, an error signal is returned. The above steps are repeated until the specified quantity of each product type in the order is entered. An error signal is returned if more than the specified quantity of any product in the order is input.
