Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A bicycle rack is configured to support a bicycle in either a substantially horizontal orientation or in an upright, substantially vertical orientation. The bicycle rack includes pivotally and slidably coupled first and second frame members, and three support assemblies. Each support assembly includes a first support member defining a generally upwardly facing bicycle support surface, and a second support member. The first support members are height adjustable to vary a height of the bicycle support surfaces above the plane, and to provide a three-point bicycle support platform configured to support a bicycle in a substantially horizontal orientation. Each second support member includes a releasable clamp member for supporting a bicycle in an upright, substantially vertical orientation.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for detecting potentially fraudulent activity in a remote financial transaction system. The system comprises a client computing device configured for data communication with a financial services server via a data communications network. The client computing device is further configured to display a web page for receiving transaction information from a user and to communicate the received transaction information to the financial services server via the data communications network in order to effect the financial transaction. The method comprises, when transaction information is communicated to the financial services server by the client computing device, the client computing device additionally communicating meta data relating to the configuration of the web page to a configuration data server via the data communications network. The method further comprises the configuration data server comparing the received meta data to a stored template of meta data for the web page.

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.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a transaction comprises receiving from a user's mobile device user location information and associated network data in response to a change of location or network of the mobile device, storing the location information and (optionally) the network data in a database in a record associated with the user, receiving a request for authentication of a transaction purportedly by the user, the request including transaction location information, comparing the transaction location information and (optionally) the network data to the stored user location information associated with the user, and generating authentication data in response to the result of the comparison.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method of connecting a user computing device to a wireless network comprises establishing a wireless connection between the user computing device and a first wireless network. The user provides identifying information to a server via the first wireless network. In response to the server authenticating the user and upon successful authorisation of the user having the appropriate rights, the user receives access information for a second wireless network from the server. The user computing device establishes a wireless connection to the second wireless network using the received access information. The method has the advantage that the first wireless network can be easily discoverable, whereas the second wireless network can have an enhanced level of security.

Abstract: An authentication system is disclosed. The system comprises means for receiving an authentication request associated with the transaction wherein the request comprises data identifying a communication device associated with a user authorised to perform the transaction; means for sending a Mobile Application Part, MAP, protocol request message in response to the authentication request; means for receiving, in response to the MAP protocol request, data indicative of whether a communication sent to the communication device will be forwarded to a different communication device. The received data indicative of whether a communication sent to the communication device will be forwarded to a different communication device is used in determining whether to authenticate the transaction.

Abstract: A method for authorising a remote transaction comprises receiving a request to complete a remote transaction from a remote user, for example over the Internet. A telephone number of a telephone, in particular a mobile telephone, associated with the remote user is identified in a database. A subscriber identity associated with the telephone number is requested from a telephone network operator associated with the identified telephone number. The subscriber identity received from the network operator is compared with a stored subscriber identity associated with the remote user. If the received subscriber identity matches the stored subscriber identity authentication information is communicated with the remote user via the telephone. If the received subscriber identity does not match the stored subscriber identity additional identifying information is requested from the remote user.
