  • Patent number: 10701067
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, for credential management using wearable devices. In some implementations, an authentication request for a user is received. It is determined that a wearable device previously associated with the user is in proximity to the electronic device. In response to determining that the wearable device associated with the user is in proximity to the electronic device, a notification is sent to the wearable device for output by the wearable device. Approval data is received indicating user interaction with the wearable device approving authentication in response to the notification. Data indicating approval of the authentication request is provided in response to receiving the approval data from the wearable device.

  • Patent number: 10362033
    Abstract: An application executed on a first device presents a user interface on a device display. The application is associated with a validation system used by the device. Based on receiving a first user input, the application controls the first device to scan, using a first communication protocol, for other devices that are located within a first communication range of the first device. Based on the scan, the application discovers a second device that is located within the first communication range of the first device. The application receives, from the second device, an identification information that uniquely identifies a user associated with the second device on the validation system. The application validates the identification information by communicating with a validation server. Based on validating the identification information, the application displays an indication that the second device associated with the user is located within the first communication range of the first device.

  • Patent number: 10257179
    Abstract: A credential management system is described. The credential management system allows a user to identify peers and obtain additional information regarding the peers through the credential management system. The credential management system may perform user analytics and provide the requested additional information to the user. The credential management system may associate the discovered peers with a group or credential, and share information and data with one or more of the discovered peers associated with a particular group or credential in a convenient manner. The credential management system may also implement a hierarchical menu and/or conditions to determine which users of the credential management system may be able to view other users' information and to determine a type of information or data that is transmitted between users.

  • Patent number: 10237278
    Abstract: In one implementation, a computer system maintains one or more permissions associated with a credential held by a first user, where at least one of the one or more of permissions is delegatable by the first user to one or more other users. The computer system receives an indication that the first user has chosen to delegate a particular permission from amongst the one or more permissions to a second user, wherein the particular permission is needed to perform a particular type of action. Based on the first user indicating a choice to delegate the particular permission to the second user, the computer system associates the delegation of the particular permission with the second user. Based on delegating the particular permission with the second user, the computer system enables the second user to perform the particular type of action.

  • Patent number: 10164957
    Abstract: In one implementation, a processing system receives a request from a user to output a representation for a credential at a client device, the credential being associated with the user. In response to receiving the request from the user to output the representation for the credential, the processing system accesses data identifying one or more conditions associated with the credential. The processing system then determines that at least one of the one or more conditions associated with the credential is not satisfied. And then, in response to determining that the at least one of the one or more conditions associated with the credential is not satisfied, the processing system denies the request from the user to output the representation for the credential at the client device.

  • Patent number: 10027680
    Abstract: In one implementation, a client device receives a request from a user to output a representation for a credential of the user. In response to receiving the request from the user to output the representation for the credential of the user, the client device obtains data identifying a third-party having authority to grant the user access to the credential of the user. The client device then obtains a representation of a credential associated with the third-party and validates the representation of the credential associated with the third-party. In response to validating the representation of the credential associated with the third-party, the client device outputs the representation for the credential of the user.

  • Patent number: 10021106
    Abstract: Location information of a client device associated with a credential is determined to be tracked. The credential has been granted to a user of the client device by a credential granting authority to indicate a status of the user with the credential. Known location data that indicates known locations is maintained. The credential data is associated with each of the known locations, and geographic data for each of the known locations. A location of the client device associated with the credential and a particular time associated with the location is determined. A subset of the known location data that defines one or more locations that are known for the credential is accessed from the known location data. The location of the client device associated with the credential is compared with geographic data included in the accessed subset of the known location data.

  • Patent number: 10021083
    Abstract: A server system maintains data indicative of credentials held by multiple different users. Each of the credentials has been issued by a credential granting authority that is separate from an entity that operates the server system. The server system receives selection data that indicates how credential data of a first user is to be made available to other users. Based on the selection data, the server system stores availability data that indicates how credential data of the first user is to be made available to the other users. The server system also maintains a location of a mobile computing device associated with the first user and, based on the availability data and the location, provides, to at least a second user, information about at least one credential held by the first user in association with an indication of the location.

  • Patent number: 9923904
    Abstract: The disclosure of the present document can be embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that cause one or more processors to perform various operations, including, receiving, from a first client device associated with a user account of a first user, a request for sharing a document. The document is associated with a credential of the first user, and the credential is associated with the user account of the first user. The operations include transmitting, in response to the request, a code associated with the document, and receiving, from a second client device, a request to access the document. The request to access the document includes the code associated with the document. The operations include determining, based on the request to access the document, that the second client device is authorized to access the document, and communicating, to the second client device, a message including information about the document.
