Patent number: 10511597Abstract: Method and systems described herein may provide multifactor mutual authentication. A first server may provide a first party and a second party with at least two authentication components in order for the first party to authenticate the identity of the second party, and vice versa. The first authentication component may include a color-based authentication component, while the second authentication component may include a code-based authentication component. Both factors need to be validated in order for the authentication to be successful. The color-based authentication component, in combination with the code-based authentication component, may improve the speed with which the mutual authentication is performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeremy Phillips, Andrew Grossman, Rachel Collins

Patent number: 10365797Abstract: A computerized system and method are presented that creates implicit content on a mobile device by monitoring and recording input from sensors on the device. Metadata from the implicit content and from user-created content is then analyzed for the purpose of event identification. Using the metadata and event identification, the content is created into clusters, which can be confirmed by the user as actual events. Events can then be grouped according to metadata and event information into a presentation grouping. Users can also be associated with organizations, allowing the sharing of content and event definitions between the organization and its member users. Users can create ad hoc organizations with a particular subset of other users, which simplifies the creation of event meta data and content sharing with other users in the ad hoc organization.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2013Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Ambient Consulting, LLCInventors: Andrew Grossman, Kenneth F.

Patent number: 10057731Abstract: A system and method are presented to allow text-based communication between users concerning an image in the form of an image-message. The originator of the communication uses a mobile device app to select an image and enter appropriate text. The recipient mobile device receives an image-message, and then displays the text superimposed over the image. The recipient can enter reply text, which will then be shown superimposed over the image as part of a message stream. The recipient can also alter the image, with the altered image being transmitted back to the originator. When the reply message is active, the altered image is displayed behind the message stream. The user can select an earlier message in the stream to view the image associated with that earlier message.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: AMBIENT CONSULTING, LLCInventors: Andrew Grossman, Kenneth F.

Patent number: 9977591Abstract: A system and method are presented to allow audio communication between users concerning an image. The originator of the communication uses a mobile device app to select an image and record an audio commentary. The image, audio commentary, and metadata are submitted to a cloud server for storage. The app uses the server to analyze a recipient address to determine the preferred mode of delivery. If the recipient is a known user of the app, the file is delivered without combining the image, audio commentary, and metadata into a standard movie file. Otherwise, the originator's app delivers the file through MMS or e-mail for the recipient as a movie file for viewing using a standard video player.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: AMBIENT CONSULTING, LLCInventors: Andrew Grossman, Kenneth F.

Publication number: 20180121470Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system for acquiring and sharing annotations of objects that are identified in images found across a computer network. Annotations are stored on a database, thereby allowing multiple users to access to all annotations associated with that object, including annotations made about that object in connection with a completely different image. The database includes pre-defined object data that allows for object identification and for the linking of object annotations between similarly identified objects originating in different media items. The annotation data for the object being viewed may be presented to a new media item in a website browser or other viewing application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Applicant: Ambient Consulting, LLCInventors: Andrew Grossman, Tom Marlin

Publication number: 20180107689Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system for acquiring and sharing annotations of images over a network based on fingerprint identification techniques for digital images. The system allows users to annotate images found on the network that are not controlled by the user. Annotations are stored on a database, thereby allowing multiple users to access to all annotations associated with that image. The database includes a “fingerprint value” that is associated with each image, and which allows the image to be identified when viewed, regardless of that image's URL or website location. The complete annotation data for the image being viewed may then be presented to the viewer of the image in a website browser or other viewing application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Andrew Grossman, Tom Marlin

Patent number: 9894022Abstract: A system and method are presented to allow audio communication between users concerning an image. The originator of the communication uses a mobile device app to select an image and record an audio commentary. The image and commentary are encoded together into a video file. The app uses a server to analyze the recipient address to determine the preferred mode of delivery. If the recipient is a known user of the app, the file is delivered through a proprietary communication system and viewed by the recipient using the app. Otherwise, the originator's app delivers the file through MMS or e-mail for the recipient to view using a standard video player. E-mail and MMS communications include a link for the recipient to download the app. The recipient can download the app and register as a user, which causes a server to download previously delivered files to the new user's app.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Ambient Consulting, LLCInventors: Andrew Grossman, Kenneth F.
