  • Patent number: 9344892
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for mobile device authentication and call routing using dual-tone multi-frequency signaling. A server computing device receives a request to establish a call between a mobile device and a remote device, the request including context parameters and automatic number identification data. The server retrieves a first phone number and a dial delay value based upon the context parameters, generates a security token and a request token, and stores the security token, the request token, the context parameters, and the ANI data in a database record. The mobile device dials the first phone number to establish a connection with a telephony application. The mobile device generates DTMF tones based upon the request token and transmits the DTMF tones to the telephony application. The telephony application validates the request token and requests a second phone number to connect the mobile device and the remote device.

  • Patent number: 9344436
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for proximity-based and user-based access control using wearable devices. A short-range frequency reader coupled to a target device detects a plurality of wearable devices in proximity to the reader, each wearable device comprising a short-range frequency antenna. The reader identifies, for each wearable device, a user wearing the wearable device. The reader determines, for each wearable device, a distance from the reader and an orientation in relation to the target device. The reader determines a level of access available to the target device based upon the identity of each user, the distance of each wearable device from the reader, the orientation of each wearable device in relation to the target device, and the distance of the wearable devices from each other in a three-dimensional space.

  • Patent number: 9300663
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for communication session transfer between a plurality of computing devices. A first computing device detects a presence of a second computing device in proximity to the first device, where the first device has established a first communication session with a remote computing device. The first device establishes a wireless connection to the second device. A first token is transmitted to the second device. A second token is received from the second device. The second token is authenticated via comparison to the first token. The first device transmits, to the second device, information indicating a state of the first communication session to enable the second device to establish a second communication session with the remote device, where the second communication session is established using the state of the first communication session.

  • Patent number: 9225711
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for transferring an authenticated session between security contexts. A mobile device establishes a first authenticated session between a native application and a server computing device via a communications network and requests transfer of the first authenticated session to a browser application. The mobile device receives session transfer parameters from a first Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication system associated with the first authenticated session after transfer is requested, the session transfer parameters including a web address and a SAML security identifier. The mobile device directs the browser application to a second SAML authentication system using the session transfer parameters to initialize the browser application and validates the SAML identifier at the SAML authentication system to generate an authentication credential.
