  • Publication number: 20180103032
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for authorization of computing devices using cryptographic action tokens. Delegation request data, including an identification certificate, an identifier for a second computing device, and action constraints, are received by a delegation system from a first computing device. A cryptographic action token, including the identifier for the second computing device and the action constraints, is generated by the delegation system. The cryptographic action token is transmitted to the second computing device. An action request specifying an action, the cryptographic action token, and an identification certificate is received by a transaction server. Action data based on the action request and the action constraints are determined by the transaction server. A determination that the action data satisfies the one or more action constraints in the cryptographic action token is made by the transaction server. The action is completed by the transaction server.

  • Patent number: 9264655
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for viewing a recorded presentation are described. The techniques include receiving by one or more computers a request from a user to view a recorded presentation, retrieving, by one or more computing systems, a segment of the recorded presentation that is comprised of plural segments and information specifying times of occurrences of trigger events associated with corresponding segments in the recorded presentation, retrieving by the one or more computers private information of the user relevant to a first segment of the recorded presentation based on a first trigger event, generating, by the one or more computing systems, a re-cast first segment of the recorded presentation, with the re-cast first segment including the private information of the user, and sending by the one or more computing systems, the re-cast segment to a computing device associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 8843878
    Abstract: A method of performing a software development process that includes performing a release execution process that analyzes a software code and stores relevant information associated with the software code. Also, the method includes executing a continuous improvement process that is executing on a computer platform. The continuous improvement process receives the relevant information and computes a plurality of relevant scores to measure the likelihood of success of a software development project. Furthermore, the method includes performing a product planning process that utilizes the relevant scores to assess the viability of the software development project.

  • Patent number: 7464036
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that may facilitate selection of a job post site to which a job opening description may be posted. For example, a job post site may be selected by obtaining one or more job post site selection criterion. Multiple job post sites may then be ranked based on the selection criterion that has been obtained. Finally, the job post site may be selected based on the ranking of the multiple job post sites. Accordingly, an employer may define a job post site selection criterion that correlates with a specific type of job opening to select a job post site that may be more effective than other job post sites in recruiting employees for that specific type of job opening.

  • Patent number: 6691122
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for compiling information into information categories using an expert system. For example, multiple information categories may be defined and, for each information category, a fact table may be provided that contains facts and rules associated with the respective information category. The information to be compiled may be encoded as multiple data strings and received as a digital data stream. An inference engine is then used to process the facts, the rules, and the data strings for at least one of the fact tables to associate one or more of the data strings with at least one of the information categories. The data strings that are associated with the information categories may then be arranged in a file based on their information category associations.
