  • Patent number: 11944907
    Abstract: A technique presents on a display a computer game character and a first scannable code (SC) scannable by a camera of at least a first user apparatus to cause a server to download to the first user apparatus a photo app operable to generate a photo of a first user and send the photo to the server, which alters the character in accordance with the photo. The character with the face altered is presented along with a second SC that can be scanned to cause the server to download to the first user apparatus a share app operable to select a second user apparatus to send an image of the character with the face altered in accordance with the photo such that the second user apparatus can display the character with the face altered in accordance with the photo. User options may be provided to alter the character or game.

  • Patent number: 10430592
    Abstract: A computing device may perform integrity checks on a closed operating system defining a preconfigured user portion and a preconfigured system portion using an integrity checking module. The integrity checking module may access parameters associated with an object stored on the system portion of the operating system. Files on the system portion may be accessed by submitting a query that comprises a file name, a file directory, and at least one parameter to the system portion of the operating system. The integrity checking module may provide an indication of a potential compromise to the integrity of the computing device based on the integrity check. The integrity check may be performed periodically and/or aperiodically. Updated integrity values may be compared against previously determined integrity values to update the integrity check. The integrity checking module may perform the integrity check using a signature function or hashing function to generate the integrity values.
