  • Patent number: 10218701
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically securing account access by verifying account information with an email provider. The methods and systems automatically determine whether provided login identification and account information, in the form of an email address, is valid by a server requesting validation information from the email server of the email address. The request is automatically provided, as a background process, in response to receiving login credential information entered by a user. The email server can provide verification of the email address, whether a password associated with the email address has changed, or if the request bounces. Push notifications may be utilized by the email server to notify registered entities of any changes to login credential information associated with an account. The methods provided secure account access and active sessions subsequent to an email account owner changing a password or terminating the email account.

  • Patent number: 9049565
    Abstract: A method for devices that are near each other to exchange owner profile information. Upon entering an area where inter-device communication with nearby devices is possible, a key is exchanged among all participating devices in the area and subsequently owner profile information is synchronized between devices. All devices also maintain a count of how often a specific owner profile and so its owner was encountered.

  • Publication number: 20140057550
    Abstract: A method for devices that are near each other to exchange owner profile information. Owner profile information may contain name, occupation, interests, who they would like to meet, contact information, photo and other information normally associated with an online profile. Owner profile information is either configured on the device or the device retrieves owner profile information from known social networking or profile management online databases. Once the device enters an area where a communication method is available to reach nearby devices, the device exchanges owner profile information with other participating devices. The idea includes a method that generates a unique key that identifies both a device and the owner profile state. Upon entering an area where inter-device communication with nearby devices is possible, this key is exchanged among all participating devices in the area and subsequently owner profile information is synchronized between devices.

  • Patent number: 7769378
    Abstract: A system, wireless device (306) and method determine that a wireless device (306) is detecting a triggering event. The triggering event includes detecting a WLAN border cell (210), detecting a first signal from an egress portal (302), or detecting a degradation in signal quality. The wireless device (306) then detects at least one signal from an egress portal (302), determines that the wireless device (306) is moving from the coverage area of a first communications system to the coverage area of a second communications system according to the order of signals received from the egress portal (302), initiates a registration sequence with the second wireless communication system in response to determining that the wireless device (306) is moving from the coverage area of the first communications system to the coverage area of the second communications system, and conducts present and subsequent calls via the second wireless communication system.

  • Publication number: 20100016011
    Abstract: A system for collecting usage information from a mobile device includes at least one ratings server configured to communicate with a population of mobile devices over a network. The ratings server is configured to receive and collect usage information from the population of mobile devices over the network and to produce ratings of content available to the mobile devices based on the usage information. A method for collecting usage information from a population of mobile devices includes reporting usage information for each mobile device of the population with a ratings application installed on each the mobile device; and receiving and analyzing the usage information with a ratings server to produce ratings of content available to the mobile devices based on the usage information.
