Patent number: 9262616Abstract: A reader element is associated with an identity verification element. The reader element has a biometric input device and is configured, through enrollment of a biometric element is used to encrypt a character sequence associated with the identity verification element. In a verification phase subsequent to the enrollment, a user may be spared a step of providing the character sequence by, instead, providing the biometric element. Responsive to receiving the biometric element, the reader element may decrypt the character sequence and provide the character sequence to the identity verification element.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Neil Patrick Adams, Richard Paul Sibley, Dinah Lea Marie Davis, Ravi Singh

Patent number: 8484722Abstract: A user interface manager acts to cache state information and thread information provided to it by user interface modules, before the user interface modules cease execution. When a new user interface module commences execution, or the old user interface module recommences execution, the user interface module may request, from the user interface manager, the cached state information and thread information.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Richard Paul Sibley, Neil Adams, Ravi Singh

Patent number: 8448875Abstract: A smart card reader is adapted to extract and store authentication data from a response APDU received from a smart card before generating a filtered response APDU, wherein the filtered response APDU does not include the authentication data. Beneficially, when the smart card reader transmits the filtered response APDU toward a destination, the biometric template data is less susceptible to interception, thereby providing a more secure solution.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2012Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Ravi Singh, Neil Patrick Adams, Richard Paul Sibley

Patent number: 8151201Abstract: A user interface manager, interposed between a Windows service and user interface modules that communicate with the Windows service in distinct system status scenarios, can record interaction between the Windows service and each of the user interface modules. The recorded interaction, along with information collected from the user interface modules, can be used in conjunction so that user interaction with a first one of the user interface modules may continue with a second one of the user interface modules after a switch from one system status (e.g., logged on) to another system status (e.g., locked). Alternatively, responsive to the switch from one system status to another system status the user interface manager may simply stop the executing user interface module so that the interaction may be started over in the new system status.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Richard Paul Sibley, Neil Adams, Ravi Singh
