  • Publication number: 20160372088
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to directing orientation on a screen by determining an orientation of a user's fingerprint. A user's finger position may be determined when the user's finger is a predetermined distance from or in contact with a touch-sensitive device. The user's finger position may be compared with a finger position database. The finger position database may include known finger positions associated with a screen orientation. A match analysis may be performed to determine which known finger position most closely resembles the user's finger position. A screen orientation associated with the known finger position most closely matching the user's finger position may be selected. Once the screen orientation is selected, an image may be displayed on a screen corresponding with the selected screen orientation.

  • Patent number: 9514037
    Abstract: A computer program product includes a tangible storage medium storing instructions for execution by a processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes receiving a test program configured to including a plurality of test data sets, and analyzing the plurality of test data sets to identify one or more predictable test data sets and one or more dynamic test data sets, the one or more predictable test data sets expected to produce a predictable test result, the one or more dynamic test data sets not expected to produce a predictable test result. The method also includes determining a cost structure associated with executing the test program using a computing resource, setting a test schedule based on identification of the one or more predictable test data sets and the one or more dynamic test data sets, and executing the test program based on the test schedule.

  • Publication number: 20160307001
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for numeric keypad encryption using an augmented reality device. The method may include establishing a secure connection to an augmented reality device. A random keypad layout is generated and sent to the augmented reality device. The random keypad layout is displayed in the augmented reality view over a real-world numeric keypad.
