  • Publication number: 20200403993
    Abstract: An identity server authenticates a first user identity for a user device through a first authentication exchange as part of a passwordless authentication system. The identity server registers with a relying party as an authenticator for a second user identity. The identity server initiates a second authentication exchange by obtaining from the relying party, a credential request associated with the second user identity. Responsive to a determination that the first user identity authenticated in the first authentication exchange is authorized to act as the second user identity, the identity server obtains a credential request response authenticated by the authenticator in the identity server. The identity server completes the second authentication exchange by providing the credential response to the relying party. The second authentication exchange authenticates the user device to the relying party without involving the user device.

  • Publication number: 20180195667
    Abstract: A lubricator pump adjuster for use with a lubricator pump having a piston housed in a pump body and a rocker connected to the piston. The lubricator pump adjuster comprises a mounting fitting attachable to the pump body and a housing disposed on the mounting fitting. An actuator is disposed in the housing and connectable to the rocker, whereby activation of the actuator causes the rocker to move, thereby adjusting the stroke of the piston. The actuator is a rotary actuator with an output shaft. The lubricator pump adjuster includes a cam faced member attached to the output shaft, and a plunger in contact with the cam faced member that is connectable to the rocker. The cam faced member may include a spiral-ramped surface.

  • Publication number: 20180013700
    Abstract: A system for managing and processing of a user message as initiated by a sender messaging device of a sending user to an addressed receiver messaging device of a receiving user and transmitted through a telecommunication network to a multimedia messaging system (MMS) implemented therein for transmitting the received user message from the sender messaging device to the receiver messaging device based on an receiver message device address, a first server receives and manages brand-related data and configuration data for processing the messages and a second server creates a modified user message having the brand-related data (BRD) message inserted with the user message and within the messaging format of the user message and responsive to a BRD message insertion rule defined by the BRD configuration data associated with the BRD message, and then transmitting the modified user message to the addressed receiver messaging device.

  • Patent number: 9825934
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing an operating system level interface for communicating credential data between applications includes detecting, by an operating system, a field configured to receive an authentication credential and identifying a credential management application configured to provide authentication credentials. The method includes requesting, by the operating system and using an operating system interface configured to communicate authentication credentials, the authentication credential from the credential management application. And when the credential management application provides the authentication credential using the operating system interface configured to communicate authentication credentials, the method includes providing the authentication credential for entry into the field.

  • Patent number: 9336378
    Abstract: A credential can be shared by one user with other users when sharing conditions are met. Sharing conditions can include a time, time range, date, date range and the geographic location of a user with whom the credential is to be shared. The credential can be shared so that it is not visible or accessible in plaintext to the shared-with user. Sharing conditions can include conditions that, when met, result in the revocation of a shared credential.

  • Publication number: 20150302459
    Abstract: A system for inserting brand-related data into messages communicated via messaging services and for taking actions in response to selection of such brand-related data at message receiving devices by message receivers. The brand-related data comprises or is representative of brands, logos, images, icons, symbols and/or links to Internet-accessible content, websites, webpages, or other resources, thereby enabling sellers to advertise and provide information about products/services and to conduct promotional campaigns through messaging services. The insertion of brand-related data is configurable to cause insertion at random intervals/counts or pre-determined intervals/counts of messages or message bubbles. The appearance and location of inserted brand-related data is also configurable. Additionally, the display of brand-related data and taking of actions in response to selection of brand-related data by a message receiver may be enabled or disabled based on the passage of a period of time or calendar date.

  • Patent number: 8767707
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus enable monitoring a mobile data service, and in particular monitoring an operational status of a relationship between a mobile gateway account on a mobile gateway and a mailbox on a messaging server. The operational status may be based on an initialization state of the mobile gateway account on a mobile gateway and a mailbox status of an associated mailbox on a messaging server. In one embodiment, the mailbox status may be determined based on mailbox errors indicative that a mobile gateway is unable to access the mailbox on the messaging server. In one embodiment a mobile gateway detects mailbox errors based on mailbox protocol error messages and sends an error notification to a monitoring system. Also provided are error notifications for facilitating, in a monitoring system, the correlation of mailbox errors with mobile gateway accounts.

  • Publication number: 20140039941
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide an on-line sports wagers and intermediary marketplace for exchanging physical tickets related to future sporting events. Registration at a website and maintenance of user information allow the start of on-line transactions utilizing the system. A user interface for selecting and displaying a minimum price and a maximum price for a physical ticket and a communication network for communicating among user terminals, servers, data repositories, and other computers over the Internet control the on-line system to provide a proxy for escrow accounts used in funding the transactions after legitimacy of a ticket has been verified and to complete the on-line transactions when a successful purchase of the ticket has been communicated. In one aspect, a system can deposit a net value, if any, of a ticket to a proper escrow account after outcome of the future sporting event represented by the ticket has been determined.

  • Patent number: 7990286
    Abstract: Vehicles driving on a roadway interrogate passive tags in or on lanes of the roadway. Codes in the tags represent locations along the highway and which lane the vehicle is traveling in. Units in the vehicles communicate longitudinal and lane positions derived from the codes among each other or with infrastructure units for purposes such as traffic management, alerts concerning other vehicles, alerts concerning external conditions, or traffic control. The units may also communicate vehicle lengths or other parameters or characteristics. Vehicle units may communicate with sensors and actuators in the vehicles for purposes such as updating the vehicles' positions between adjacent tags. Specific applications for intelligent transportation systems are described.
