Patent number: 7952585Abstract: An interactive animation environment. The interactive animation environment includes at least one user-controlled object, and the animation method for providing this environment includes determining a position of the user-controlled object, defining a plurality of regions about the position, detecting a user input to move the position of the user-controlled object, associating the detected user input to move the position of the user-controlled object with a region in the direction of movement, and providing an animation of the user-controlled object associated with the mapped region. A system and controller for implementing the method is also disclosed. A computer program and computer program product for implementing the invention is further disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Bridger, Ed Bainbridge, Jon Williams, Matthew Humphries, David Navarro, Andy Brown, David Pridmore, Jon Maine

Patent number: 7948889Abstract: A method and system for analyzing network traffic are provided. A network traffic analyzer includes a plurality of data switching devices connected to a plurality of data hubs. Each data hub may have multiple input ports and multiple output ports and may be configured to broadcast all data packets received at an input port to all output ports. Each data switching device may be configurable to forward data packets to an input port of any one of the plurality of data hubs, any subset of the plurality of data hubs, or all data hubs of the plurality of data hubs, based on a characteristic of one or more data packets. Furthermore, at least one network sensor device may be connected to an output port of a data hub of the plurality of data hubs. The network sensor device may be configured to analyze data packets in real time for, among other purposes, detecting network intrusions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Chris Lalonde, Mat Henley, Andy Brown

Patent number: 7930284Abstract: A method and system to protect users against potentially fraudulent activities associated with spoof web sites are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, the URL of a document downloaded via a web browser client is compared to the URLs in a list of URLs for known spoof sites. If the URL for the downloaded document is found in the list of URLs for known spoof sites, a security indicator is displayed to the user to indicate to the user that the downloaded document is associated with a known spoof site. According to another aspect of the invention, a security server maintains a master black list and periodically communicates updates of the master black list to the local list of a client security application.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Scott Leahy, Jeffrey Taylor, Chris Lalonde, Ajay Agrawal, Kevin H Embree, Jeffrey L. King, Andy Brown, Mathew Gene Henley
