Patent number: 11010015Abstract: A system is provided for visualizing data in a computerized visual environment. The system comprises (i) a viewing device that displays, to a user of the viewing device, a graphical user interface within a virtual three-dimensional space, (ii) a handheld device configured to allow the user to customize the display of a three-dimensional data visualization within the graphical user interface using hand motions made by the user, and (iii) a computing device coupled to the viewing device and the handheld device. The computing device is configured to cause to display to the user on the viewing device a filter plane overlaying the three-dimensional data visualization, detect a position of the filter plane that is movable by the user in the graphical user interface, and alter the three-dimensional visualization in the graphical user interface based on the detected position of the filter plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Peter McCormack, Michael Khan, Brian Lough

Patent number: 10797871Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for generating a cryptographic authentication key. A computing device receives a request to generate a cryptographic key. The device generates a defined sequence of security questions, each question associated with a difficulty value. The device generates the key using the defined sequence of questions, comprising: a) presenting a first question and receiving an answer to the first question, b) generating a hash string corresponding to the received answer, c) determining a next question based upon the hash string, d) presenting the next question and receiving an answer to the next question, e) concatenating the answer to the next question with the hash string, f) applying a hash function to the hash string with the concatenated answer to update the hash string, g) repeating steps c-f until the difficulty values of the questions reaches a threshold, and h) generating the key from the updated hash string.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2020Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Peter McCormack, Frank Friel, Simon Brown, Thomas McGuire
