Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to initiate secure communications from a first client and authenticating the first client. The authenticating includes communicating with a second client using a second communication channel, and receiving a response from the first client, the response being transmitted over a first communication channel. The method also includes receiving a first set of message data from the first client, the first set of message data being transmitted over the first communication channel, and receiving a second set of message data from the second client, the second set of message data being transmitted over the second communication channel. The method additionally includes constructing the message using the first set of message data and the second set of message data.

Abstract: Methods for providing feedback information regarding a person's focus of attention during a live video communication are described. The live video communication may comprise a live video conference. The feedback information may correspond with non-verbal cues such as who a speaking person is looking at when they are speaking and whether a listener is paying attention to the speaking person. In some embodiments, a dominant speaker in a live video conference may be determined and a live video stream that is being viewed by the dominant speaker may be identified. An identification of the live video stream may be transmitted to computing devices associated with other participants in the live video conference. Images associated with the live video stream being displayed to the other participants may be highlighted, enlarged, or moved to a different location on displays used by the other participants.

Abstract: Methods for preventing the transmission of sensitive information to locations outside of a secure network by a person who has legitimate access to the sensitive information are described. In some embodiments, in order for an end user of a computing device to establish a secure connection with a secure network and access data stored on the secure network, a client application running on the computing device may be required by the secure network. The client application may monitor visual cues (e.g., facial expressions and gestures) associated with the end user, detect suspicious activity performed by the end user based on the visual cues, and in response to detecting suspicious activity may perform mitigating actions to prevent the transmission of sensitive information such as alerting human resources personnel or requiring authorization prior to sending information to locations outside of the secure network.

Abstract: Apparatuses, Methods and programs are provided. A method may comprise receiving a first request to verify an identifier associated with a destination from a first requester, responding to the request with a response, the response indicating an existence of a physical address associated with the identifier, the response further comprising a list of authorized entities authorized to access information specifying the physical address, receiving a second request from a second requester to access information specifying the physical address associated with the identifier, determining if the second requester is authorized to have access to information specifying the physical address by analyzing the list of authorized entities corresponding to the identifier; and providing the physical address to the second requester if the second requester is authorized.

Abstract: A system and method for restricting access to requested data based on user location are disclosed. The method comprises receiving a data request and determining origin location information of the data request from a source providing information having accuracy to a predetermined standard. The method further comprises retrieving one or more policies associated with the requested data, comparing the origin location information with the policies, and dynamically adjusting access restrictions to the requested data based on the comparison.

Abstract: A voice messaging system includes a transceiver, an indicator, a microphone, and a speaker. The transceiver is operable to receive a message from the Internet, and the indicator is operable to announce that the message has been received. The microphone is operable to receive a verbal request to play the message, and the speaker is operable to play the recorded message in response to receiving the verbal request.

Abstract: A method includes receiving information from an information provider. The information received from the information provider may comprise metrics collected from a sensor that have been manipulated, meta-data that describes the manipulation, quality information associated with the metrics, and semantic information associated with the metrics. The method includes a process of transforming and correlating the information received from the information provider, such that the information becomes transformed and correlated information. The method includes a process of transmitting the transformed and correlated information to a registered information consumer. The method includes a process of establishing a first account pursuant to the information received from the information provider. The method includes a process of establishing a second account pursuant to the transformed and correlated information transmitted to the registered information consumer.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for identifying related content based on eye movements are disclosed. The system, apparatus, and method display content to a user concurrently in two or more windows, identify areas in each of the windows where a user's eyes focus, extract keywords from the areas where the user's eyes focus in each of the windows, search a communications network for related content using the keywords, and notify the user of the related content by displaying it concurrently with the two or more windows. The keywords are extracted from one or more locations in the two or more windows in which the user's eyes pause for a predetermined amount of time or, when the user's eyes pause on an image, from at least one of the text adjacent to and the metadata associated with that image.
