Patent number: 11645381Abstract: A tool for providing a user configured one-time password. Responsive to receiving a request for a one-time password, the tool sends the one-time password, based at least in part, on a user configured one time password rule. The tool receives a user configured one-time password return value for the one time password. The tool determines whether the user configured one-time password return value satisfies the user configured one-time password rule when applied to the one-time password. Responsive to a determination that the user configured one-time password return value satisfies the user configured one time password rule, the tool accepts the user configured one-time password return value and granting access to the application.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nader M.

Patent number: 10839337Abstract: An apparatus, termed a destination validation device (DVD), comprises a sensor configured to sense physical presence of a parcel and to obtain metadata from said parcel; at least one data processor connected with at least one memory storing software instructions that when executed causes the DVD to at least determine from reading the obtained metadata whether a signature is required for delivery of the parcel, and prepare a destination delivery acknowledgement indicating whether said signature is required; and a transmitter configured to communicate the prepared destination delivery acknowledgement external of the DVD. In this manner a delivery service can verify that the parcel is at the physical delivery location. Further details provide for also obtaining the (digital) signature when the metadata indicates it is required for delivery of the parcel. Other embodiments include a method and a computer program product comprised of software instructions on a computer-readable medium.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nader M.

Patent number: 10796545Abstract: Changes of a vertical and horizontal position of an item are programmatically monitored relative to at least one three-dimensional (3D) item-specific proximity exclusion attribute that precludes movement of the item into a defined 3D item-configured prohibited region by iteratively querying an item tag of the item for measured vertical and horizontal coordinates of the item tag. In response to determining that a detected change of at least one of the vertical and horizontal position of the item results in the item being located within the defined 3D item-configured prohibited region, an item-specific proximity exclusion alert is generated indicating that the item is located within the defined 3D item-configured prohibited region.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nader M.
