  • Patent number: 10264394
    Abstract: In some implementations, data specifying (i) identification information, (ii) a beacon identifier associated with a wireless proximity beacon, and (iii) a proximity of a client device to the wireless proximity beacon is received. A path of movement is determined based on the received data. Data specifying a pattern of movement that is associated with an action is accessed. The path of movement of the client device is determined to satisfy a particular pattern of movement associated with a particular action. An application instance operating on the client device is authorized to perform the particular action based at least on determining that the path of movement of the client device satisfies the particular pattern of movement associated with the particular action.

  • Patent number: 10237278
    Abstract: In one implementation, a computer system maintains one or more permissions associated with a credential held by a first user, where at least one of the one or more of permissions is delegatable by the first user to one or more other users. The computer system receives an indication that the first user has chosen to delegate a particular permission from amongst the one or more permissions to a second user, wherein the particular permission is needed to perform a particular type of action. Based on the first user indicating a choice to delegate the particular permission to the second user, the computer system associates the delegation of the particular permission with the second user. Based on delegating the particular permission with the second user, the computer system enables the second user to perform the particular type of action.

  • Patent number: 10200377
    Abstract: In one implementation, a server receives a request from a client device to access a user account, wherein the user account provides access to one or more credentials associated with the user. The server determines that the client device is not associated with the user account and prompts the user to provide a biometric identification of the user. The server then receives data representing the biometric identification of the user from the client device. The server determines that the data representing the biometric identification of the user matches a biometric profile of the user associated with the user account. In response to the determination, the server associates the client device with the user account, such that the user is enabled to access the user account, and the associated one or more credentials, from the client device.

  • Patent number: 10171935
    Abstract: Method, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, from an application instance operating on a client device, healthcare information that indicates a client device identifier, a wireless proximity beacon identifier, and a proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon. From the received healthcare information, a determination is made whether the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies a threshold proximity. Based at least on the determination, an action is determined that the application instance operating on the identified client device is permitted to perform while the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies the threshold proximity. Healthcare information is transmitted to the identified client device that enables the application instance operating on the identified client device to perform the action.

  • Patent number: 10164957
    Abstract: In one implementation, a processing system receives a request from a user to output a representation for a credential at a client device, the credential being associated with the user. In response to receiving the request from the user to output the representation for the credential, the processing system accesses data identifying one or more conditions associated with the credential. The processing system then determines that at least one of the one or more conditions associated with the credential is not satisfied. And then, in response to determining that the at least one of the one or more conditions associated with the credential is not satisfied, the processing system denies the request from the user to output the representation for the credential at the client device.

  • Patent number: 10110574
    Abstract: A biometric identifier is received, from a first credential granting authority, is associated with a user and was collected by the first credential granting authority. The biometric identifier is stored in association with the user and the first credential granting authority. Trust data is accessed and enables determination of whether a second credential granting authority trusts biometric identifiers collected by the first credential granting authority. It is determined that the second credential granting authority trusts biometric identifiers collected by the first credential granting authority based on the accessed trust data. Based on the determination that the second credential granting authority trusts biometric identifiers collected by the first credential granting authority, biometric identification of the user using the biometric identifier collected by the first credential granting authority is performed for the second credential granting authority.
