  • Publication number: 20230360043
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to gesture-based one-time password (OTP) authentication for transactions. Initiation of a transaction can be detected. Contextual information associated with the transaction can be received. In response to detecting the initiation of the transaction and based on the contextual information associated with the transaction, a one-time password (OTP) comprising one or more gestures to be performed by a user can be generated. A command can be transmitted to display the one or more gestures to be performed on an extended reality (XR) device worn by the user. In response to validating user performance of the one or more gestures displayed via the XR device, the transaction can be authorized.

  • Patent number: 11798672
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and processes for monitoring attributes of a user's physical activity (e.g., workout) or inactivity, and to user interfaces (e.g., an activity indicator) for displaying the same. In some examples, a device determines whether physical activity corresponds to a first type based on a first set of criteria, and whether physical activity corresponds to a second type based on a second set of criteria. In some examples, the device controls an inactivity timer that measures user's inactivity. In some examples, the device displays a first visual representation of an attribute or amount of a first type of physical activity, and a second visual representation of an attribute or amount of a second type. In some examples, the device displays a third visual representation of an attribute or amount of a third type of activity. In some examples, the third visual representation corresponds to user's inactivity.

  • Patent number: 11770372
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to integration of multiple services across multiple clouds within a unified IAM control plane. According to an example, an MSP provides (i) a user interface through which users of multiple tenants are able to configure permissions for and access multiple resources of a set of services associated with a hybrid cloud; and (i) a unified IAM control plane across the set of services, each of which potentially uses a different IAM protocol or scheme. A centralized IAM service is maintained by the MSP containing information regarding the permissions for the resources. Multiple service integrations for the set of services are supported by the MSP, including providing a first set of APIs that facilitate a direct integration with the unified IAM control plane in which the centralized IAM service maintains access control information for resources associated with a first service of the set of services.

  • Patent number: 11768678
    Abstract: By analyzing execution of a set of transactions by an application, a set of actual code execution paths of the application are determined. From the set of actual code execution paths, a set of predicted execution paths of the application are predicted using an execution prediction model. The set of predicted execution paths includes the set of actual code execution paths. By determining that paths in the set of predicted execution paths have above a threshold similarity to each other, a cluster of predicted execution paths is identified. The cluster of predicted execution paths is recommended, using a recommendation model, for implementation as a single execution path in a revised version of the application.
