  • Patent number: 9471272
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that a portion of audio has been skipped a threshold number of times, and in response to the determination that the portion of the audio has been skipped the threshold number of times, skip the portion without input from a user to skip the portion upon a subsequent presentation of the audio.

  • Patent number: 9471773
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for context-sensitive password generation. The inspection module may accept entry of at least a new portion of a password by a user into a security mechanism and determine a dynamic parameter candidate within the password. The analysis module may recommend to the user a context-sensitive interpretation of the dynamic parameter candidate. The confirmation module may receive a selection by the user of the context-sensitive interpretation.
