  • Publication number: 20170161506
    Abstract: A wearable display presents information to an end user as visual images having restricted access to other viewers, such as at an eyeglass worn by the end user. Sensitive information that an end user selects for viewing is precluded from presentation at a primary information handling system display and is instead presented at the wearable display, such as with an overlay of the primary display that has the sensitive information presented by the wearable display over the location of the primary display at which the sensitive information would otherwise be presented.

  • Patent number: 9141815
    Abstract: Included in the present disclosure are a system, method and program of instructions operable to protect vital information by combining information about a user and what they are allowed to see with information about essential files that need to be protected on an information handling system. Using intelligent security rules, essential information may be encrypted without encrypting the entire operating system or application files. According to aspects of the present disclosure, shared data, user data, temporary files, paging files, the password hash that is stored in the registry, and data stored on removable media may be protected.

  • Patent number: 7665125
    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a wireless security system is disclosed. The wireless security system includes a client module deployed on a wireless device, a network module, and a server module. The client module is adapted to authenticate a wireless device while the wireless device is operating independently from the network module and the server module. In another embodiment, a method of distributing security policy information from a server to a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method includes authentication of a connection between the server and a gatekeeper, sending a policy package to the gatekeeper, initiating data synchronization between the mobile computing device and the gatekeeper, authenticating the mobile computing device, and sending the policy package from the gatekeeper to the mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 7085729
    Abstract: A software system is provided for managing available to promise (ATP) and making promises to fulfill customer requests. The software system includes a plurality of generic product models (600) each representing a generic product. Each generic product model (600) specifies one component of a plurality of possible components. A plurality of specific product models (602) each represent a specific product and each specify all components of the specific product. Each component specified by each specific product model (602) is specified by one of the generic product models (600) such that each specific product model (602) is related to a subset of the generic product models (600). A customer request matching a specific product then can be fulfilled by available-to-promise of the specific product or by available-to-promise of all related generic products. In addition, an organization in a seller hierarchy can retain product and designate first-come-first-served product.

  • Patent number: 6055519
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and process are provided for negotiation and tracking of sale of goods. In this system and process, a negotiation engine (16) operates to store data representing a current state (18) of a negotiation between a seller and buyer. The negotiation engine (16) stores the data within a framework for representing aspects of the negotiation between the seller and buyer. The framework includes a request object, a promise object and an acceptance object that can store a current description of a contract. The framework also includes a set of one or more delivery deals determined by the contract. Each delivery deal can have a delivery request object, a delivery promise object, and a delivery acceptance object that can store associated item deals and time periods for delivery of item deals. Each item deal can have an item request object, an item promise object and an item acceptance object that can store individual sales-order line-items.

  • Patent number: 6047290
    Abstract: A computer implemented planning system and process are disclosed that providing mechanism for grouping and prioritizing consumer objects based on multiple criteria. The manufacturing of a product is planned using an object model that includes buffer objects. The buffer objects include a grouped flow policy field that specifies a grouping for consumer objects based upon criteria of the consumer objects. In one implementation, a bucketed nested sort flow policy, that is a subclass of the grouped flow policy, is used to specify grouping further based upon start dates. In a further implementation, a bucketed combined sort flow policy, that is a subclass of the bucketed nested sort flow policy, is used to specify grouping further based upon aggregations of criteria values.
