Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes generating, for display on a computing device, an identification rendering viewable on a display of the device, the identification rendering including an authority indicator and a digital image of a person. The method further includes the device triggering an interactive effect associated with the identification rendering. The triggering occurs in response to the device receiving a trigger input and the trigger can be from any input or communications sensor of the computing device. The triggered interactive effect includes an authority indicator and a freshness indicator that enables an individual viewing the display to validate the identity of the person associated with the digital image. Validation can be based on at least one of a characteristic of the interactive effect and attributes of the person or the authority indicator.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes providing, by a first computing device, a request for identifying data, wherein the first computing device is accessible by a first user. The method may further include receiving, by a second computing device, the request provided by the first computing device, wherein the second computing device is accessible by a second user. Additionally, the method may include, transmitting, by the second user, identifying data to a location accessible by the first computing device, wherein the identifying data is transmitted to the location based on an address provided by the first user. The method may yet further include accessing, by the first user, the identifying data transmitted by the second user; and validating, by the first user, the identifying data provided by the second user in response to accessing the identifying data.

Abstract: Some implementations may provide a method to have a user authenticated at a point of service. The method includes: accessing, by a target system, a multi-dimensional symbol rendered on a display of a mobile computing device of the user, the multi-dimensional symbol encoding endpoints and actions for the target system to perform in order to request and authenticate an identity of a user; decoding data in the multi-dimensional symbol to retrieve an identity token plus information about the authentication actions and the user's identity system; requesting the corresponding authentication actions of the user's identity system to include specific authentication measures for the user to perform as well as data for the user to release; and performing the authentication actions as requested and encoded in the multi-dimensional symbol such that the physical identity of the user of the mobile computing device is verified and the user consents to release the requested identity information at the point of service.

Abstract: A method of displaying information for learning purposes comprises the steps of providing within a computer an information set having at least a first information topic. The first information topic includes a plurality of discrete information elements. The discrete information elements are caused to be arranged for display within the computer in a sequence selected from a plurality of predetermined sequences. The discrete information elements are displayed with a display operably associated with the computer in the selected sequence.
