Publication number: 20240135383Abstract: A system for authentication for a user device associated with a user, said system comprising: a processing system to generate a first user interface running on a screen of said user device, said first user interface comprising one or more components, wherein said one or more components comprises a first icon, which when activated, directs a user to a second user interface to select a secret pattern, a second icon, which when activated, generates a current randomly populated keyboard, further wherein said processing system provides a current Personal Identification Number (PIN) to said user by correlating said secret pattern with the current randomly populated keyboard, and a regular keyboard for said user to enter a PIN for authentication.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Deepak Chandra DUTT, Xun YIN, Zhaoyang WANG, Piotr Konrad TYSOWSKI, Mohammed Anwarul HASAN

Patent number: 11906632Abstract: A handheld electronic device, such as a GPS-enabled wireless communications device with an embedded camera, a GPS-enabled camera-phone or a GPS-enabled digital camera, determines whether ephemeris data needs to be obtained for geotagging digital photos taken with the device. By monitoring user activity with respect to the camera, such as activation of the camera, the device can begin pre-acquisition of a GPS position fix by obtaining needed ephemeris data before the photograph is actually taken. This GPS pre-acquisition improves the likelihood that a position fix (GPS lock) is achieved by the time the photo is taken (to enable immediate geotagging). Alternatively, the photo can be geotagged retroactively by appending the current location to the metadata tag associated with the digital photo. An optional acquisition status indicator can be displayed on a user interface of the device to indicate that a position fix is being obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Piotr Konrad Tysowski, Ngoc Bich Ngo, David Noel Vanden Heuvel

Patent number: 10986048Abstract: A system and method are provided that incorporate subjects or subject lines into instant messaging sessions or conversations on a mobile device. During an instant messaging session, the user is provided with an option to specify a subject for at least the current portion of the session or for the entire session. The subject is proposed to the other users in the session, who can accept, ignore or modify the subject at their end. Multiple subjects can be specified for a single conversation if desired, and the subjects can be displayed with the contact in a message list. The instant messaging sessions may then be searched using search tools that are typically used for search email and other data messages.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Piotr Konrad Tysowski
