Patent number: 9405890Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program product, and computer system for login on a wearable device. The method includes detecting one or more preregistered devices near a first wearable device. In response to determining that the detected one or more registered devices is greater than or equal to a predetermined number set forth in a simple password, the method requests the simple password from the user. If the correct simple password is entered, a first set of login information for the first wearable device is automatically inputted. The method may also include automatically inputting a second set of login information for one or more applications on the first wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yusuke Nishitani, Masaki Saitoh, Asuka Unno

Patent number: 9237136Abstract: In a font applying device on a client side in a computer system composed of the client and a server, an obfuscated font storing section stores an obfuscated font in which a character different from a character identified by the server based on a character code and having the same width of the character identified by the server is mapped to the character code. An obfuscated document receiving section receives an obfuscated document obtained by obfuscating document data as a result of converting the character code to a character code to which a character identified by the server based on the character code in the document data is mapped in the obfuscated font. A deobfuscation processing section identifies the character mapped in the obfuscated font to a character code included in the obfuscated document, and a display control section controls the display of the character.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2014Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ryoji Kurosawa, Yoshinori Tahara, Asuka Unno, Natsuki Zettsu
