Abstract: A method of exchanging information with network devices using web browsers includes executing an application on a client device to implement a local web server on the client device, loading in a web browser on the client device a webpage independent of the web browser and including a script for generating a first request to the local web server, accepting the first request from the web browser by the local web server, and sending requested information to the web browser by the local web server. In some embodiments, the method also includes generating a second request to a remote server by the web browser and using the script, where the second request includes the requested information sent to the web browser.

Abstract: Methods and systems for downloading software information are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, the method includes performing a first determination as to whether a first number of inquiries or download requests received by a server computer is or has been excessive and, if the first determination is that the first number of inquiries or download requests is not or has not been excessive, sending a signal including a first permission to download a software package. Also, the method includes performing a second determination as to whether either the first number or a second number of inquiries or download requests received by the server computer is or has been excessive and, if the second determination is that the first or second number of inquiries or download requests is not or has not been excessive, sending a first part of the software package for receipt by a first client computer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configurable device fingerprinting and/or achieving communications with enhanced security are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a method of configurable device fingerprinting includes storing, at a server, first information regarding one or more selected system attributes, and further includes receiving, at the server, a first signal requesting that a first client device be registered and including system information pertaining to the first client device. Also, the method includes extracting, from the system information, relevant portions of the system information corresponding to the one or more selected system attributes, where the server determines a fingerprint of the first client device based at least in part the relevant portions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remotely executing or communicating messages or commands such as security commands, or facilitating the execution or communication of such messages or commands, are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, such a system or method can include an agent application installed on a client device directing the client device to periodically check a server for a new command request for the client device, the client device downloading the new command request from the server, and the client device executing the new command request. Also, in an additional example embodiment, the new command request can direct the client device to set up a command session between the server and the client device and, responsive to executing the new command request, the client device can set up the command session with the server.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for a patient to obtain quality eye tests results without other people's assistance. The system includes a wearable, head-mounted, ophthalmic device. With a head mounted structure, the patient's head position remains still relative to the ophthalmic device. One or more “iris” cameras and a display screen are used to help align the patient's eye on ocular lenses for optimal eye test results. The system includes a patient interface module that allows the patient to operate the device. Accessory features such as a microphone and earphones are used to communicate with a close by stander during and after the eye exam. Another key feature is a cloud service connection used to store test results for remote access by the patient or other authorized persons.

Abstract: A system provides audit opinions on an enterprise's organizations, processes, risks, and risk controls. The system first evaluates the enterprise's set of risk controls. The audit opinions of the set of risk controls are used to evaluate the set of risks associated with the set of risk controls. The audit opinions of the set of risks and of the set of risk controls are in turn used to evaluate the set of processes associated with the set of risks. Finally, all of these audit opinions are used to evaluate the set of organizations associated with the set of processes. The system streamlines the evaluation of risk by determining suggested audit opinions. Suggested audit opinions for a given item can be determined from audit opinions previously determined and associated with the given item. Rules can be defined for a given item to specify how to determine the suggested audit result.
