Patent number: 11418318Abstract: A portable electronic device is operable as a portable certification authority. The portable electronic device stores a pair of keys of a public key infrastructure, issued by a parent certification authority and generates a certificate dependent upon the pair of keys. The private key and corresponding public key certificate are transmitted to a network device of a second agency to allow the device to be authenticated by any node of the network of the first agency that posses anchor information of the parent certification authority. This enables the device of the second agency to be authenticated by a network node of the first agency.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Donald E.

Patent number: 11416865Abstract: A user may establish a relationship with a merchant so that the user can conduct repeated transactions with the merchant. The merchant computer associated with the merchant may store credentials associated with the user's account. The repeated transactions may not occur at regular intervals. The merchant may include an indicator in the authorization request messages for the user's transactions that indicates that the user is part of the established relationship. Hence, other entities that receive the indicator can accordingly identify and process the transaction as low risk, which results in higher approvals of the user's transactions conducted with the merchant.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventor: Amitabh Awasthi

Patent number: 11385790Abstract: A user interface verification device and a method of use is presented for recognizing a three-hand gesture on a touchscreen of the device. The gesture is recognized by detecting a plurality of contact points in at least two, disparate touching zones, and simultaneously detecting additional contact points in a third, disparate touching zone. In one embodiment, the device displays content in a review mode that can be reviewed in a normal manner. In the execution mode, the device requires a signature, a touch, or another sign of acceptance involving a touch within the third touching zone. The device can ensure that a customer directly provides consent by requiring that the two, multi-point touching zones are tactilely engaged by both hands of a presenter while in the execution mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: BBY Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan R.

Patent number: 11368810Abstract: Digital content reconfiguration techniques and systems are described that address physical accommodations. In one example, a physical accommodation module identifies a type of digital content being requested and obtains the digital content. The physical accommodation module also obtains ticket data associated with a user that made the request. The ticket data is then processed by the physical accommodation module to determine a physical accommodation. The determined physical accommodation is then used by the physical accommodation module to reconfigure the digital content, and as such, may dynamically address the physical accommodation, e.g., for mobility, visual, auditory accommodations, whether the user is attending the event with minor children, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: StubHub, Inc.Inventor: Semirah Dolan
