  • Patent number: 8335697
    Abstract: This invention is a system and method for a matching system that cross-references patients anonymously with doctors and pharmacies. The invention uses patient-unique biometrics, such as fingerprinting, retinal scanning, or another such unique identifier, for patient identification and verification without revealing a patient's name or other personal information. The system tracks patient prescriptions and produces alerts to indicate potential problems, such as drug interactions or possible fraudulent behavior. The system utilizes the biometric data of the prescribing physician as authorization of the prescription. The system can produce a traceable paper trail, for investigation or prosecution, and protects the medical industry, patients, and the public from the consequences of doctor shopping.

  • Patent number: 8334174
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a chip scale package includes: disposing a chip on a carrier board and embedding the chip into a composite board having a hard layer and a soft layer; and removing the carrier board so as to perform a redistribution layer (RDL) process, thereby solving the conventional problems caused by directly attaching the chip on an adhesive film, such as film-softening caused by heat, encapsulant overflow, chip deviation and contamination, etc., all of which may result in poor electrical connection between the wiring layer and the chip electrode pads in the subsequent RDL process and even waste products as a result.

  • Patent number: 8335846
    Abstract: The multi-functional peripheral judges whether or not the last display screen at the time of logout is usable as the initial display screen at the time of next login. Then, when the last display screen at the time of logout is not usable as the initial display screen at the time of next login, not information to specify the last display screen at the time of logout but a predetermined screen information is set to be transmitted to an authentication server. The authentication server manages information to specify the last display screen given from a multi-functional peripheral, and notifies the multi-functional peripheral of the last display screen information of the user to display the screen on the multi-functional peripheral when a user logs in the multi-functional peripheral next time.

  • Patent number: 8336086
    Abstract: A method of authenticating a user of a terminal operating a server and connected to the terminal through a communication network, in which a password needed for authentication is inputted as icons, rather than numerals or characters, thereby preventing leakage or theft of the password. Through the present invention, security is improved in processing a password in an information processing device or a communication network, and furthermore, leakage of the password is fundamentally prevented in the process of inputting the password by a user. Therefore, an effect of securing reliability of the overall authentication process may be obtained.
