Patent number: 11163862Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for authenticating a user in a computing system is provided. A corresponding method comprises validating one or more user snapshots of the user that should have been acquired in corresponding acquisition conditions according to their match with the corresponding acquisition conditions; the user snapshots are then sent (at least in part) to one or more authenticators requesting them to identify the user. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a corresponding system is proposed.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Fabio Barillari, Francesca Curzi, Stefano Ferrari, Luca Landi, Giuseppe Longobardi, Ugo Madama, Franco Mossotto, Riccardo Pizzutilo, Vincenzo Spinelli

Patent number: 10031593Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a human interface device including an inner sphere, wherein the inner sphere has a center point. The human interface device can further include an outer sphere, and the outer sphere may be compressible. The human interface device may also include a plurality of pressure sensors between the inner sphere and the outer sphere for detecting localized compression of the outer sphere, a first three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, and a second three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, wherein the first three-axis-accelerometer and the second three-axis-accelerometer-accelerometer are each located at least a predetermined distance from the center point.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gherardo Albano, Francesco M. De Collibus, Luca Landi, Claudio Prudenzi
