  • Patent number: 10649642
    Abstract: A method, executed by a computer, for remapping interface elements on a graphical user interface includes activating an action capture mode responsive to input from a user, receiving a selection of an interface element, responsive to input from the user that uses the action capture mode, adding an alias user interface element corresponding to the interface element to a shortcut group, and wherein activation of the alias user interface element performs an action corresponding to the interface element. A computer program product and computer system corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10623430
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for determining a risk area in a communication network. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, a local network may be determined in response to an abnormal state of a first device in accessing a communication network. State information may be received from at least one second device via the determined local network, where the state information includes a position and a connection state of the at least one second device in accessing the communication network. A risk area within which a device is unable to access the communication network may be determined based on the received state information. According to other implementations, a corresponding system and a corresponding computer program product are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10552596
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for biometric authentication. Texture data of an object associated with a user is acquired. The texture data comprises one or more texture images of the object and one or more corresponding pressure indicators indicating pressures under which the respective texture images are collected. The acquired texture data is then verified to authenticate the user.
