Abstract: A communication method and system. The method includes receiving, by a computing system, user identification data identifying a first user. The computing system receives first device identification data identifying a first device belonging to the user and second device identification data identifying a second device belonging to the first user. The computing system associates the first device identification data and the second device identification data with the first user identification data. The computing system transmits connection data and the second device identification data to the first device. The computing system receives first informational data for the user. The computing system transmits to the first device and the second device, copies of the first informational data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to partial authentication to access incremental information. An aspect of the invention concerns a method of authorizing access to information that comprises providing an initial segment of a password wherein the password includes password segments each associated with an incremental portion of the information. In response to the initial password segment satisfying an expected value, the method may authorize access to the information portion associated with the initial password segment. The method may authorize access to other information portions associated with subsequent segments of the password in response to the subsequent password segments satisfying respectively expected values.

Abstract: In a device having a display, at least one sensor signal is generated from a sensor in the device. One or more context values are then generated from the sensor signal. The context values indicate how the device is situated relative to one or more objects. At least one of the context values is then used to control the operation of one or more aspects of the device.
