Patent number: 10284382Abstract: A network-accessible service enables participating end users to collaborate with one another over a network. End users have computing devices (e.g., computers, mobile phone, tablet devices, or the like) that include hardware and software to enable the device to access a network, such as the public Internet, a Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet, a 3G or higher wireless network connected to the Internet, a private network, or the like. The network-accessible service provides a publicly-available site (such as a Web site) or a local software application from which a first participating end user initiates a “meeting,” e.g., by selecting a “share” button. In response, the site or software application provides an HTTP link that includes a “meeting” code, which may be a one-time unique code. The first participating end user then shares the link with whomever he or she desires to collaborate. Upon receiving the link (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: LogMeln, Inc.Inventor: Marton B. Anka

Patent number: 9955350Abstract: A motion-based authentication method is operative in a mobile computing device having a display interface and that includes an accelerometer. Normally, the device software includes a locking mechanism that automatically locks the display interface after a configurable timeout. The authentication method operates to un-lock the display interface (and thus allow the user access to the device) by movement of the device in a predetermined series of physical movements and without display-based entry of a password or other access code on the display itself. In this manner, the user can un-lock the device without display-based entry of a password (on the display itself) by simply holding the device and performing the necessary movement(s) to generate the unique code.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: LogMeIn, Inc.Inventors: Zoran Vukoszavlyev, Marton B.

Patent number: 9930090Abstract: A host-client protocol facilitates delivery of screen images from a host to a remote access client when the host content is continuous or large (such as high definition (HD) content). To facilitate this operation, the protocol implements several functions and operations that provide the desired result of an HD stream viewable on the remote access client. These functions and operations include one or more of: frame rate adjustment, rate control, dynamic adjustment to the stream based on client-provided screen resolution or changes, eliminating portions of the host screen that are not in view on the remote access client, implementing client-initiated zoom/pan operations on the host instead of the client, performing zoom/pan operations, dynamic control over screen updates, and (where multiple clients are receiving the stream) delivering streams to different clients at different frame rates.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: LogMeln, Inc.Inventors: Gabor Maylander, Marton B.

Patent number: 9922207Abstract: Subscriber (user) data is encrypted and stored in a service provider cloud in a manner such that the service provider is unable to decrypt and, as a consequence, to view, access or copy the data. Only the user knows a user-specific secret (e.g., a password) that is the basis of the encryption. The techniques herein enable the user to share his or her data, privately or publicly, without exposing the user-specific secret with anyone or any entity (such as the service provider).Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: LogMeln, Inc.Inventors: Krisztian Kopasz, Marton B.

Patent number: 9916066Abstract: A mobile device has a display that supports gesture-based control operations. Computers maintain connections to a remote access service. The user desires to copy and/or move resources between first and second of his connected computers. After receipt of data indicating a first gesture requesting an operation with respect to the resource, an overview of one or more target devices is displayed. The overview is a folder level view of all folders and files located on the target devices. In addition, an additional display element is shown. This element is a representation of the resource from which the operation has been requested. The element is displayed as an overlay, and it is adapted to be selectively positioned in the overview using a gesture. Upon receipt of data indicating a second gesture positioning the representation over an available location within a computer connected to the service, the operation is completed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: LogMeIn, Inc.Inventors: A'kos Putz, Gyuri Juha'sz, Marton B.

Patent number: 9654471Abstract: According to this disclosure, a user is identified (and selectively granted access to protected resources) by using information that describes the user's interpersonal relationships. This information typically is stored in a datastore, such as a digital address book, an online profile page, or the like. The user's digital address book carries an “acquaintance pattern” that changes dynamically in time. This pattern comprises the information in the user's contact list entries. In this approach, the entropy inherent in this information is distilled into a unique acquaintance digest (or “fingerprint”) by normalizing the contact list data, and then applying a cryptographic function to the result.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Wallrust, Inc.Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Marton B.
