  • Publication number: 20240070321
    Abstract: Selecting user access policies for a new system, by collecting user, access policy, and resource metadata for a plurality of other users storing data dictated by one or more access restriction policies. The collected metadata is anonymized with respect to personal identifying information, and is stored in an anonymized analytics database. The system receives specific user, access policy and resource metadata for the new system from a specific user, and matches the received specific user metadata to the collected metadata to identify an optimum access policy of the one or more access policies based on the assets and access restriction requirements of the new system. The new system is then configured with the identified optimum access policy as an initial configuration.

  • Patent number: 6358053
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for providing online language instruction to a student. A student client computer logs into a host system to commence an instruction session. The host assigns an instructor to the instruction session. A scene is simultaneously displayed on a student client computer and a client computer operated by the assigned instructor. A voice communication link is also provided. A predetermined lesson plan can be executed during the instruction session. The lesson plan can be selected according to a student profile stored on the host system. Study goals can also be listed on the computer operated by the instructor. Completion of a study goal can also be stored in the student profile. The student profile can be used to determine a next study goal for a particular student. The scene can be an interactive scene manipulated via the student client computer or via the client computer operated by the instructor.
