Patent number: 9936362Abstract: A social messaging hub provides communication services including intelligent presence detection messaging for a data enabled device having Internet network access capabilities. In one embodiment, a user is given a registered phone number and has multiple devices with unique IP addressable identifications which serve as a source and destination identifiers of the associated data enabled devices. The hub receives device and default location information, sets geofence boundaries, receives a notification of device positions and then delivers messages based on the proximity of devices to each other and user preferences.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: HeyWire, Inc.Inventor: Adam Kornafeld

Publication number: 20170251344Abstract: A system and method for connecting people in a social network using information from a user's digital address book. A social network member can friend a contact and be friended by a contact if she is in that contact's address book. An central server keeps track of friended members of the social network and contacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Adam Kornafeld, Endre Tamas

Patent number: 9661092Abstract: A system and method for a user to send presence information to authorized contacts in her device's address book and to receive the presence information of those contacts in her device's address book that have authorized her. A user can authorize any contact in her address book. Optionally, a user can only authorize a contact and be authorized by a contact if she is in that contact's address book. A local application on the device interacts with and displays the device's address book, manages the authorization of contacts, updates the user's presence, and receives and displays the presence of contacts. The local application updates the user's presence manually, semi-automatically, or automatically. Semi-automatic updates involve synchronizing with the device's calendar. Automatic updates may involve the use of location data, the device's built-in sensors, and augmented reality.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Wallrust, Inc.Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Adam Kornafeld, Endre Tamas

Patent number: 9654471Abstract: According to this disclosure, a user is identified (and selectively granted access to protected resources) by using information that describes the user's interpersonal relationships. This information typically is stored in a datastore, such as a digital address book, an online profile page, or the like. The user's digital address book carries an “acquaintance pattern” that changes dynamically in time. This pattern comprises the information in the user's contact list entries. In this approach, the entropy inherent in this information is distilled into a unique acquaintance digest (or “fingerprint”) by normalizing the contact list data, and then applying a cryptographic function to the result.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Wallrust, Inc.Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Marton B. Anka, Endre Tamas, Adam Kornafeld

Patent number: 8484286Abstract: A method and system for collecting the contents of a computer network. There is a single Data Store, one or more Address Dispatchers, and Data Fetchers. A Fetcher requests a network site address from a Dispatcher, collects information from that site, and sends it to the Data Store. A Central Dispatcher retrieves usable addresses from the information stored in the Data Store. Deployed Dispatchers receive addresses from the internal database of a Network Hosting Service Provider (NHSP). A Global Fetcher resides anywhere on the network. A Deployed Fetcher resides on a dedicated resource within an NHSP. A Community Fetcher resides on a private personal computer that has relatively continuous access to the network, collecting only textual information, thereby producing relatively little network traffic. As a consequence, the Community Fetcher can run in the background, leading to the use of multitudes of volunteers, each running a Community Fetcher.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Hydrabyte, IncInventors: Adam Kornafeld, Jozsef Patvarczki, Endre Tomas, Zoltan Farkas

Patent number: 8275365Abstract: A system and method for a user to send presence information to authorized contacts in her phone's address book and to receive the presence information of those contacts in her phone's address book that have authorized her. A user can authorize any contact in her address book. Optionally, a user can only authorize a contact and be authorized by a contact if she is in that contact's address book. A local application on the phone interacts with and displays the phone's address book, manages the authorization of contacts, updates the client's presence, and receives and displays the presence of contacts. The local application updates the client's presence manually, semi-automatically, or automatically. Semi-automatic updates involve synchronizing with the phone's calendar. Automatic updates may involve the use of location data, the phone's built-in sensors, and augmented reality.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Hydrabyte, Inc.Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Adam Kornafeld, Endre Tamas

Publication number: 20120005483Abstract: A method for authenticating user access to a restricted resource that presents a login screen with an image separated into sections. To login, the user triggers sections in a preset sequence that is set up at account creation. At account creation, a cryptographic hash function is applied to a chosen sequence of sections to generate the user's account code. Optionally, elements of the image and/or the user name are included. The user invokes the login screen when access to a restricted resource is desired. The user must change login settings if any parameters, such as a particular image, are elements of the account code. The user triggers the sections in the appropriate order. The cryptographic hash function is applied to the section sequence and any optional elements to generate the login code, which is compared to the stored account codes to either grant or deny access to the restricted resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2010Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicant: HYDRABYTE, INC.Inventors: Jozsef Patvarczki, Adam Kornafeld, Endre Tamas
