  • Publication number: 20200084205
    Abstract: A system for providing a service may include a user device executing an application. The application may have an authorization token associated therewith to authenticate a given user to the service. The system may also include a server executing the service, and a virtual assistant to receive a request to access the service via the virtual assistant and communicate the request to the server. The server may determine whether the token has been obtained thereat based upon the identifier. When the token has been received by the server, the server may determine whether the token has expired, and when not expired, the server may process the request. When the token has not been received by the server, the server may obtain the token from the user device, and process the request based upon obtaining the token from the user device.

  • Publication number: 20200021571
    Abstract: Systems and methods for credential character selection are provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to detect a character selection and generate a character selection signal, and detect a character selection completion and generate a character selection completion signal.

  • Publication number: 20190340373
    Abstract: A computing device includes a face detection module coupled to a webcam. The face detection module detects faces of viewers within a field of view of the webcam, provides images of the detected faces to a face identification service, and receives user IDs on the detected faces that have been identified. A document viewer module retrieves a document for display, with the document being retrieved based on a link to the document. A policy enforcement module receives the user IDs on the detected faces that have been identified, uses the link to the document to query metadata associated with the document to determine an access control list for the document, and compares the user IDs of the detected faces that have been identified to user IDs on the access control list to determine authorized viewers of the document. The policy enforcement module obscures display of the document if one of the identified faces is not authorized to view the document.

  • Publication number: 20190221209
    Abstract: A computing device includes a hardware interface to be coupled to a microphone and speaker assembly, and a network interface to be coupled to a network for audio conferencing with remote audio conferencing devices and for accessing a voice assistant service that operates to assist with the audio conferencing. An audio interceptor is coupled between the hardware interface and the network interface to direct audio over a first voice channel while audio conferencing with the remote audio conferencing devices. The audio interceptor monitors for a user initiated trigger command signal during the audio conferencing, and directs audio from the first voice channel to a second voice channel upon detection of the user initiated trigger command signal. The second voice channel is used to access the voice assistant service.

  • Publication number: 20190173882
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user attempting to access content are provided. The method includes requesting a first at least one user credential, determining if the requested first at least one user credential matches a second at least one user credential used when the user accessed previously accessed content, and generating a list of content providers requiring the second at least one user credential for access when the first at least one user credentials matches a second at least one user credential. The method also includes requiring the user to select a content provider from the list of content providers, allowing the user to access the content if the selected content provider corresponds to the content being accessed by the user, and preventing the user from accessing the content if the selected content provider does not correspond to the content being accessed by the user.
