Abstract: Disclosed is a generally planar automotive service tag, and method of using the same, having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes multiple foldable tags for describing service information, wherein each of multiple foldable tags fold and unfold along a foldable edge of the first end to indicate a status of a corresponding vehicle service. Each of the foldable tags has a male portion at a second end. The second portion of the automotive service tag includes an identifier for identifying the automotive service tag, and a plurality of female portions for each corresponding male portion of the plurality of foldable tags. The second portion further includes a protrusion that extends along an edge of a top end and a hanger portion that extends from the top end, the hanger portion being used to hang the automotive service tag on the rear-view mirror of a vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile authentication for web payments are disclosed. In some implementations, a proxy server receives, from a computing device different from a mobile device, a request from a user to process a web payment via a payment account associated with the mobile device, the web payment being associated with an online merchant. The proxy server verifies that the mobile device is associated with the user. The proxy server transmits, to a commerce server of the online merchant, payment information for the web payment in response to verifying that the mobile device is associated with the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for device-based authentication are disclosed. In some implementations, a device receives a Single Sign On PIN from a backend server. The device transmits, to a token server, the Single Sign On PIN and credentials of a subscriber identity module (SIM) to request a token for accessing a network resource via a computer different from the device. The token is associated with a user account. The device receives the token from the token server. The device stores the token at a local memory of the device.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to encrypt a telephone call between users. User devices (e.g., smart phones) may be connected to encryption relay devices that operate as relays between headsets worn by the user and the user devices. As information passes from the headset toward a corresponding user device, an encryption relay device may encrypt the information before the information reaches the user device so that the user device transmits encrypted call information to the other user participating in the call. When encrypted information is received, and travels from the user device to the headset, the encryption relay device may decrypt the information before it reaches the headset. Thus, the techniques described herein provide an end-to-end encryption solution to telephone calls.

Abstract: To virtually transfer subscriber identity module (“SIM”) credentials from an active device to an inactive device in order to share carrier network access, temporary identifiers and SIM credentials are transferred using secure connections and an optional public-private key pair with encryption at the transport layer. In an example, a carrier identification (“ID”) server receives a temporary identifier, such as a temporary international mobile subscriber identity (“TIMSI”), from an inactive device via a carrier network. The carrier ID server authenticates the inactive device using the TIMSI by issuing a network challenge. Next, the carrier ID server verifies with an active device associated with the inactive device that the active device distributed the TIMSI. After authenticating and verifying with both devices, the carrier ID server activates the inactive device by allowing the TIMSI to behave as virtual SIM credentials on the carrier network.

Abstract: A primary application and a secondary application installed on a mobile communication device are both configured to obtain input from a user of the device through an application session of the primary application. The primary application transmits a notification to cause the secondary application to begin execution in the background. The primary application further transmits a request for user interface (UI) information to the secondary application. Based on UI information received from the secondary application, the primary application generates a graphical user interface (GUI) including an interface for receiving user input relating to the secondary application. The generated GUI is displayed on the device in the application session of the primary application, and user input relating to the secondary application is received in the application session of the primary application. The primary application then transmits to the secondary application user input identified as relating to the secondary application.

Abstract: A supplemental display unit may provide information to a display associated with a wearable article. The supplemental display unit may share a communications channel with a mobile device, and exchange data with the mobile device over the communications channel while the mobile device resides within the wearable article. The supplemental display unit may generate a screen having a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the exchanged data, where an appearance of the screen is based on a measurement of the wearable article. The supplemental display unit may provide icons on the GUI presenting information to the user, where the icons may be arranged in groups based upon the type of information that each icon presents, and provide the GUI to the display, where the display is coupled to the wearable article.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile-based login via wireless credential transfer are disclosed. In some implementations, a proxy server receives a registration request for a receiver device for accessing a secure resource. The proxy server registers the receiver device in response to the registration request. The proxy server receives, from a transmitter device, information identifying the transmitter device along with authentication credentials for authenticating the receiver device to access the secure resource. The proxy server identifies the receiver device based on the information identifying the transmitter device. The proxy server forwards, to the receiver device, the authentication credentials for authenticating access of the receiver device to the secure resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote authentication using mobile single sign on credentials are disclosed. In some implementations, a proxy server receives, from a web access device, a request to access a secure online resource via the web access device. The proxy server receives, from a mobile device different from the web access device, one or more credentials for accessing the secure online resource. The proxy server determines that a geographic distance between the web access device and the mobile device is less than a geographic distance threshold. Upon determining that the geographic distance between the web access device and the mobile device is less than the geographic distance threshold, the proxy server enables the web access device access to the secure online resource.
