Patent number: 11507269Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for accessibility services to assist users with disabilities in using touch-based interfaces and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). A client system generates and renders a GUI of a client application that comprises one or more graphical objects. The client system operates a service to identify graphical objects that refer or link to advertisements or other third party resources. The service applies a protective measure to the identified graphical objects, which prevent user inputs (e.g., “taps”) from being accepted by the client system. The protective measure may include a distinguishing effect to visually distinguish the protective measure from other graphical objects in the GUI. The user may remove the protective measure by performing a predefined gesture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: AppEsteem CorporationInventors: Hong Jia, Dennis Batchelder, Keven Goh, Nicholas Batchelder, Daniel Ivanov, Natalya Grebenik, Kira Brodsky, Bryan Young

A client system generates and renders a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising one or more graphical objects in a client application. The client system identifies resources corresponding to individual graphical objects. The client system communicates the identified resources to a reputation system, and obtains indicators indicating deceptive resources to be obfuscated and/or trustworthy resources to be illuminated. The client system obfuscates the deceptive resources and illuminates the trustworthy resources according to the received indicators. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: AppEsteem CorporationInventors: Dennis Batchelder, Hong Jia, Neil Comisioneru, Andrey Grebenik, Pavel Braginsky

Patent number: 11079904Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for distinguishing third party resources (TPRs) with respect to first party resources (FPRs) are provided. A client system generates and renders a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising one or more graphical objects in a client application. The client system identifies resources corresponding to individual graphical objects. The client system communicates the identified resources to a verification service, and obtains indicators indicating TPRs to be distinguished from FPRs. The client system applies a distinguishing effect to the TPRs based on the received indicators. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: AppEsteem CorporationInventors: Dennis Batchelder, Hong Jia, Arunabh Trivedi
