  • Patent number: 10673691
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a user interaction platform. In some implementations, a method includes providing one or more target functions to a user interaction device, where the one or more target functions enable user interaction with a primary device. The method also includes receiving user-defined configuration information for the one or more target functions. The method also includes configuring the one or more target functions based on the user-defined configuration information.

  • Patent number: 9229626
    Abstract: A system and method for notification management includes collecting information for a number of objects within a management tool for security assets. The display of the information is displayed on a window of a graphical user interface of the management tool. In response to user interaction with the graphical user interface, a notification tool window of a notification tool is displayed. The notification tool window is layered over at least a portion of the window of the graphical user interface. In response to user interaction with the notification tool window, notification instructions are created for at least one of the number of objects based on a portion of the information of the window of the graphical user interface. The notification instructions are operable to cause the notification tool to communicate at least one notification communication to at least one recipient concerning at least one object.

  • Patent number: 8949955
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for time-based one-time password generation using a wireless communications device for two-factor authentication are described. The computer-implemented method comprising detecting launch of a security code generation application on a wireless communications device, generating a first unique security code upon launching the application, displaying the first security code on the wireless communications device, determining based on time whether to generate a new unique security code, and displaying the new unique security code.

  • Patent number: 8749361
    Abstract: A system and method of transmitting an authentication code includes automatically calculating a security code on a device executing a security program. The security program may periodically calculate a respective unique security code. In response to a user requesting the security code, the device automatically vibrates according to a pattern representing the security code. The pattern tactilely communicates the security code to the user.

  • Patent number: 8640213
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic authentication includes automatically calculating a security code on a computer running a security program. The security program resides on the same computer as a web browser. In response to a user signing into a web based account on a web site accessed by the web browser, automatically verifying that the security program is registered with the web based account. In response to a second factor security code entry request on the web based account, automatically entering the security code into the web based account. The security code is transmitted to the web site transparently to the user for login.

  • Publication number: 20080301558
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for providing contextually relevant support information. In one embodiment, a server provides a web page over a network that includes one or more help indicators. The web page and the help indicator are shown to a user in a window of a graphical user interface of the client device. When the user selects the help indicator, the support system receives data indicative of user help requests from the client device. In response to receipt of a support request, the support system generates a response based on a current context of the web page. In one embodiment the response is provided to the client device for display over an area in the window of the graphical user interface without obscuring or disrupting content displayed by the web page.
