  • Patent number: 9268853
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a system and related method for retrieving configuration information of a computer network. Unique identifiers in the form of fingerprints, tags, or metadata can be associated with a target application. A manager can scan process tables and file system directories of servers within the system to find processes and files that include the unique identifier. The manager can save the server and application information in a configuration database that can subsequently be searched. Such information can include which of the one or more servers has the target application as an active process.

  • Patent number: 9230028
    Abstract: A platform independent system for performing a search request provided by a user. The platform independent system includes a consuming application executing on a first computer that handles the search request provided by a user. The search request includes instructions to retrieve selected data from a second application. A web interface module executing on a second computer receives the search request and formulates search routines regardless of the search engine logic or infrastructure of the consuming application to connect to a data model that contains the selected data for retrieval. The web interface module structures data associated with the search request to be compatible for searching with the data model.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20150254791
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for automatically managing quality of human document review in a review process. The method includes receiving tagging decisions for multiple documents made by a first reviewer during a first time period and sampling a subset of these documents based on a first confidence level and first confidence interval. The method further includes receiving tagging decisions made by a second reviewer related to the subset of the documents, from which values of multiple quality-control metrics are determined. The method further includes calculating a risk-accuracy value based in part on the values of the quality-control metrics and recommending a second confidence level and a second confidence interval for sampling a second set of documents reviewed by the first reviewer during a second time period.

  • Patent number: 9124572
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for secure video conferencing. A server computing device receives a request to establish a video conference for a sensitive transaction from a first device associated with a user. The server authenticates the first device. The server establishes a conference between the first device and a second device of a second party to the sensitive transaction. The server transmits video images associated with cameras coupled to the first device to the second device, the images comprising a view of the user and an area surrounding the user. The server determines whether persons other than the user are present in the area surrounding the user. The server transmits an alert to the second device if persons other than the user are present, where the alert includes a prompt on the second device for the second party to confirm with the user whether the other persons are authorized.

  • Patent number: 9124695
    Abstract: An interactive voice response system is provided that includes a voice response platform that receives incoming calls and provide an interactive voice response service to a calling party. A mobile application executes on a processor that issues a call to the voice response platform. The voice response platform determines whether or not the calling party is a mobile device. If the calling party is a mobile device, the voice response platform sends a translation of a voice menu back to the mobile device to be displayed as a visual (GUI) representation of a voice menu on the mobile device. The visual representation could also be stored on the mobile device to avoid the translation from the voice menu.
