Patent number: 11651060Abstract: Techniques for client side multi-factor password generation include randomly removing one or more features of a record of a fingerprint image of a user and creating a distorted record of the fingerprint image by merging the record with a user input code using an encryption technique, the distorted record being reversible using the user input code. The distorted record for authentication of the user is registered.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniela Regier, Vijai Kalathur, James A.

Patent number: 11176319Abstract: Methods and systems for leveraging a topic divergence model to generate dynamic sidebar chat conversations are disclosed. A method includes: collecting, by a computing device, data from a first group chat; determining, by the computing device, a main topic of the first group chat and a current topic of the first group chat using the data collected from the first group chat; determining, by the computing device, a first divergence score representing a degree of divergence between the main topic of the first group chat and the current topic of the first group chat; determining, by the computing device, that the first divergence score exceeds a predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the first divergence score exceeds the predetermined threshold, the computing device creating a second group chat; determining an efficacy based on an emotive analysis which increases as the divergence score decreases.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Dunne, Muneeb Arshad, Megan Capobianco, Gregory Ecock, Vijai Kalathur, Christopher Potter, Daniela Regier

Publication number: 20200233550Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a textual user input at a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayed on a display screen. The GUI includes a number of windows that each correspond to a different application with one of the windows having the input focus. The approach determines an input context type for the received textual input and compares the input context type to application contexts that correspond to the applications being displayed in the windows. One of the applications is selected based on the comparison and the received textual user input is then directed to the window that corresponds to the selected application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Vijai Kalathur, Muneeb Arshad, Gregory Ecock, Megan Capobianco, Christopher Potter, Daniela Regier

Publication number: 20180234849Abstract: Biometric-based disabling of a mobile device is provided. The method includes enabling one or more biometric sensor(s) on a mobile device, and allowing setting of the biometric sensor(s) to enable use of the mobile device for a user. The method also includes providing disabling of one or more features of the mobile device for other users, and based on the biometric sensor(s) sensing an other user using the mobile device, automatically disabling the feature(s) of the mobile device, while allowing selected content on the mobile device loaded by the user to continue to be displayed or played on the mobile device for the other user. Disabling the feature(s) of the mobile device may include automatically placing the mobile device in a locked state to block any mobile device notifications, and to prevent the other user from interacting with the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2017Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Muneeb ARSHAD, Megan CAPOBIANCO, Gregory ECOCK, Vijai KALATHUR, Christopher R.
