Abstract: Controlling transmission of an alert to a user of a device providing audio. An event which is identified as an alert is detected, and it is determined that the alert is a notifiable alert. A movement sensor associated with the user is monitored during a time period after detection of the notifiable alert. During the time period, it is determined whether movement of the sensor has deviated from a prior pattern of movement. A deviation indicates a user response to the alert. An action to alert the user is taken if the movement of the sensor during the time period has not deviated from the prior pattern of movement indicating that the user has not responded to the original alert. There is no such action if the movement of the sensor has deviated from the prior pattern of movement indicating a user response to the alert.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for generating peer-to-peer augmented reality handlers. The method includes receiving, from a user wearing a pair of augmented reality glasses, an indication that the user intends to place an augmented reality handler at a location where the user is currently looking. The augmented reality handler is for visually associating content with an item of interest to the user. The method further includes determining, by the augmented reality glasses, the location where the user is currently looking. The method also includes creating the augmented reality handler in three-dimensional space at the location and presenting, by the augmented reality glasses, the augmented reality handler to the user. The method additionally includes creating an access control list to determine authorized individuals able to use this handler. The method further includes presenting the augmented reality handler to the authorized individuals, based on the access control list.

Abstract: In a fully homomorphic encryption scheme, a method is provided for performing a homomorphic operation on a data set by applying an encrypted operand supplied as a ciphertext. A data set containing ‘i’ library vectors, each with ‘j’ coefficients is subjected to a pivot operation such that each set of common ‘j’ coefficients is stored in respective library ciphertexts. A query ciphertext containing a query vector is then subjected to a homomorphic pivot operation to separate out its ‘j’ coefficients into respective pivoted query ciphertexts. A more efficient homomorphic computation can then be carried out between the ciphertexts of the pivoted forms of the query and library vectors so as to compute an encrypted set of vector differences between the query vector and each of the library vectors.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating a user. An expected digital representation of an iris of at least one authentic user is a combination of a first digital representation of an iris of an eye of at least one authentic user and a second digital representation of at least one authentic overlay pattern. In response to a determination that a third digital representation of a captured image of an iris of a user to be authenticated does not match the expected digital representation: the expected digital representation is modified to alter a relative rotational alignment between the representation of the at least one authentic overlay pattern and the expected digital representation of the iris; and a further comparison between the modified expected digital representation and the third digital representation is performed. From the further comparison, an authentication signal indicative of whether authentication of the user has been successful is generated.

Abstract: Secure passcode entry using a mobile device having augmented reality capability. The mobile device is registered with an authorization server to register an agreed input display algorithm with an initialization seed, and a user passcode is registered with the authorization server. A superset of options is obtained from an input interface device at which a user passcode is to be entered. The superset of options is processed using the input display algorithm and initialization seed to result in an arrangement of characters including the characters of a registered user passcode. The arrangement of characters is overlaid using the augmented reality capability of the mobile device in relation to an input interface of the input interface device.
