  • Patent number: 9747010
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for visual comparison of different portions of one or more source documents to emulate a paper folding gesture experience in a user device, in which the user uses a mouse or finger in a touchscreen device to circle two or more portions of interest in the same or separate source documents, and provides a different user input such as a pinch motion or zoom in feature to display the selected regions proximate one another for visual comparison.

  • Patent number: 9122850
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a convenient way for users to access segregated work spaces on mobile devices. A game-like multi-level interactive approach is used to prompt users for input to verify their identity. Multiple identity verification attributes can be collected at each level of interaction. Authentication is achieved when a settable level of user identification confidence is reached. This can potentially reduce the amount of interaction needed as compared to requiring a user to type in a long, cryptic password.

  • Publication number: 20140283014
    Abstract: In a mobile communication device having segregated workspaces respectively associated with a plurality of users, methods and systems are provided for confirming an authorized user in an appropriate account including a corresponding one of the segregated workspaces. Start-up processing of the device includes taking a picture of an authorized image of the authorized user with the device camera. Current activities of the device by the user are monitored relative to a predetermined set of device activities and usage rules. Certain activities are indicative of a change in user of the device from the authorized user. Upon detection of such a change, the current image of the current user of the device is acquired with the device camera. The current image is compared with the authorized image and if the comparison fails to detect a match, the current user is prompted to initiate a log-in process.
