  • Publication number: 20230244831
    Abstract: A method and system, including a device having a processor and instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium. In the system and method, data is identified and collected that is required to simulate a geographical area. The data is input into a simulation engine that runs a simulation of the geographical area. A scenario is identified to apply to the simulation, wherein the scenario is identified through employment on non-simulated data. The scenario is applied to the simulation by revising the data that is input to the simulation engine.

  • Publication number: 20220294785
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed for an identity vault service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an identity vault service system can collect self-attested and operator-attested user information. The operator-attested user information can be associated with a user and a mobile telecommunications service provided to the user by a mobile network operator. The system can create a trusted digital identity of the user based upon the self-attested and operator-attested user information. The system can receive an identity access request from a third party. The request can be for access to at least a portion of the trusted digital identity for use by the third party in performance of an act. The system can send a consent request to a user device and can receive a consent response that indicates whether the user permits access to at least the portion of the trusted digital identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 8874692
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for organizing information in a world wide web page format. In one embodiment, information is received from a user (e.g., via a graphical user interface) and transformed into a world wide web page. The world wide web page is displayed to the user as the information is received (e.g., in substantially real time), so that the user can view the world wide web page as he or she constructs it. The invention therefore requires little to know prior programming knowledge.

  • Patent number: 8755826
    Abstract: Information relevant to internet security is received at a data center server. Such information, for example, a network intrusion alert or details on a recent outbreak of an network virus, may be examined to determine the nature and scope of the security-related information. A security alert is promptly generated in response to the information, using previously stored multimedia content divided into categories of security alerts and/or multimedia content generated at the data center shortly after receiving the security information. The security alert is then disseminated to a plurality of mobile device users. The alerts may be disseminated only to the users associated with a certain security event category, or may be sent to different groups of users depending on other relevant criteria.

  • Patent number: 7926107
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for collecting, analyzing, verifying, producing, and broadcasting security data. Internet security-related information may be broadcast continuously from a data center over a broadcast channel, such as a webcast. As additional security related information is received at the data center, the data is analyzed and video content is produced to describe the incoming data. Video content may take the form of urgent near real-time security alerts, or pre-scheduled programs describing recent news and developments related to internet security. In an alternative embodiment, security news alerts are multi-cast to a selected group of users and the news alert data encrypted so that the group of users may trust its source.
