Patent number: 11438331Abstract: Disclosed herein is an identity network that provides a universal, digital identity for users to be authenticated by an identity provider for relying parties upon sign-in to the relying party. The identity network receives the sign-in request from a relying party for a user using a user device. The identity network can provide a session identifier to the relying party for the request and launch an identity provider application associated with the user via a software development kit in the relying party application. The user may sign-in to the identity provider via the software development kit, thereby authenticating the user for the relying party. Additionally, the identity provider may generate a risk validation score and provide it to the relying party that provides a confidence value that the user is validly using the user device and a risk score based on device activity on the identity network.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Early Warning Services, LLCInventors: Gregory Slowiak, Eric Woodward, Philip Lam, Jeff Shultz

Patent number: 11394724Abstract: Disclosed herein is an identity network that can provide a universal, digital identity for users that can be used to authenticate the user by an identity provider for relying parties. The identity network receives a request from a relying party that includes deep linking to an identity provider selected by the user. The request specifies the user as well as any other information about the user the relying party is requesting. A service of the identity network launches the application for the identity provider on the user's device using a software development kit. The user can log into the identity provider's application, which validates the user and provides the user authentication/validation and information about the user to the identity network. The identity network can then provide the indication of the user's authentication and the user information to the relying party.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Inventors: Gregory Slowiak, Eric Woodward, Philip Lam, Jeff Shultz

Patent number: 11328356Abstract: Described herein is an identity network for authenticating a user for a relying party and providing access to the user's credit report. The identity network may receive an unlock request for the digital identity and credit report of a user from a relying party. In response, the identity network may provide an identity provider link for accessing the identity provider application. The user may login to the identity provider application and provide consent for obtaining the user's credit report. The identity provider provides the identity network with verification of the digital identity of the user and the consent response from the user. The identity network can request access from a credit reporting agency and receive a credit report key in response. The identity network can provide the credit report key to the relying party, which can use the key to access the user's credit report from the credit reporting agency.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Early Warning Services, LLCInventors: Gregory Slowiak, Eric Woodward, Philip Lam, Jeff Shultz

Publication number: 20220086152Abstract: Provided is a method for authenticating a user communicating with an enterprise via a network. The method includes receiving, via the network, authenticators for a user from a first user device associated with the user, and storing the received authenticators. A first authenticator from the stored authenticators is selected to be used for authenticating the user based on an authentication policy received from the enterprise. An authentication request is transmitted to a user device requesting the first authenticator and the user is authentication by comparing the received authenticator with the stored first authenticator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Andrew Robert ROLFE, Alan DUNDAS, Gregory SLOWIAK

Patent number: 7978686Abstract: A system and method for feature-based service control using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in an Internet Protocol Automatic Branch Exchanges (IPABX) system is described. The system and method include a new Event package and new Enhanced SIP methods to control information for various feature-based services like wakeup alarm, call forwarding, voicemail configuration, and other services provided by traditional PBX systems. A user provides input to a client device to activate or deactivate feature-based services. In response, the client device sends a message to the IPABX server to activate or deactivate the feature-based service(s). The IPABX server then notifies the client device that the feature based-service(s) have been activated or deactivated.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2006Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Udit Kumar Goyal, Gregory Slowiak, Michael P.
