Patent number: 10423770Abstract: An authentication method. The method comprises comparing user voice data received via an electronic device to a stored voice template to determine a voice authentication parameter. A voice authentication threshold is determined and the voice authentication parameter is compared to the voice authentication threshold to determine whether to authenticate the user. Determining the voice authentication threshold comprises determining a current value of an enrollment counter, then comparing the current value of the enrollment counter to an enrollment counter threshold and determining whether the stored voice template is fully enrolled according to the result. If the stored voice template is fully enrolled, the voice authentication threshold is set to a first voice authentication threshold. If the stored voice template is not fully enrolled then a device attribute received from the electronic device is compared to a stored device attribute.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: VALIDSOFT LIMITEDInventors: John Petersen, Daniel Thornhill

Publication number: 20190163715Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a system and method for the dynamic provisioning of static content. In one embodiment, information presented on a content delivery system can be refreshed based on information published on a content management system. One embodiment can interface the content delivery system and the content management system at the page level. More specifically, content dependencies across pages employing the same content or portion(s) thereof can be tracked in a timely, accurate manner. Upon receiving a notification of a change to the content or a portion thereof from the content management system, a content generation system may operate to determine, based on the dependencies, what pages are affected by the change and, based on the determination, dynamically regenerate any and all affected pages. The regenerated pages may then be stored and/or pushed to the web tier for delivery to end users.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: May 30, 2019Inventors: Newton Isaac Rajkumar, Mark McCalister, Expeditus Bolanos, Peter Hale, Mark Martin, Richard Nemec, Puhong You, Daun DeFrance, Ching-Fu Chang, Priya Reddy, Ladislav Kis, Robert L.

Patent number: 9749411Abstract: The sharing of objects may be executed by performing various share type administrations. Objects may be shared directly to a site or may be made available indirectly for reuse by a site. The objects shared and made available for reuse may be added to the site to which they are shared and made available for reuse. References to the objects shared and made available for reuse are stored in repositories in response to, and in accordance with, the share type administration performed. The storage of the references to objects is based on privileges associated with at least one of a repository, a site and a user. Objects made available for reuse by, and shared to, a site may be made unavailable for reuse by, and unshared to, the site through the execution of a share type administration.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Open Text SA ULCInventors: Dean Moses, Ed Anuff, Fergus Griffin, Jean Tessier, Hans Akesson, John Petersen, Tom Belunis, Edith Harbaugh, Noah Guyot, David MacLeod, Amy Phillips, Ethan Vonderweid

Patent number: 9686374Abstract: A system and method for provisioning dynamically generated content. One embodiment can interface a content delivery system and a content management system at the fragment level. Depending upon how a page is organized, a fragment may refer to a block within the page, a portion of the page, or a content item presented on the page. When a content item is updated and published onto the content management system, one embodiment can operate to track dependencies of managed pages and invalidate/validate fragment(s) affected by the change(s) accordingly. The updated fragment(s) may then be dynamically assembled on-the-fly or on-demand. The updated fragment(s) may or may not be cached. In this way, changes made to a piece of content can be reflected in all pages which utilize this content almost simultaneously with the changes to the content itself.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Open Text SA ULCInventors: N.

Publication number: 20170070399Abstract: A site in a portal management framework may have a set of site objects given a single identity. The site may be created in the portal management framework by a console object. The portal management framework may have at least one portal providing a gateway for access to the site. Sets of users granted administrative privileges with respect to a site object may further grant and delegate administrative privileges to other sets of users to perform administration type operations on site objects over which they have administrative privileges. Server consoles may be provided for performing administration on object(s) in the portal management framework. Site consoles may be provided for performing administration on object(s) with respect to each site.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Ed Anuff, Edith Harbaugh, Ethan Vonderweid, John Petersen, Amy Phillips, Noah Guyot, Dean Moses, David MacLeod, Siddharth Rishi Raj Chaudhary
