  • Publication number: 20130133054
    Abstract: A computationally-implemented method, in accordance with certain example embodiments, may include, but is not limited to: receiving at a computer device one or more behavioral fingerprints associated with one or more network accessible users; receiving an authentication request at the computer device, the authentication request associated with one or more proposed transactions of the one or more network accessible users; and transmitting from the computer device a decision associated with the authentication request, the decision based at least partially on a trust verification schema generated from a relational mapping of the one or more behavioral fingerprints associated with the one or more network accessible users. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are presented in the claims, drawings, and written description forming a part of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20130133052
    Abstract: A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: determining a behavioral fingerprint associated with a network accessible user of one or more devices, the behavioral fingerprint providing a current status of the network-accessible user; and identifying a current device of the one or more devices as being currently used by the network-accessible user as a function of the determined behavioral fingerprint. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20130117130
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting commercial opportunities to be used in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to offer occasions for an opportunity for commercialization related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture to one or more sponsors of content. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine which opportunity for commercialization to present which is dynamically or has been previously associated with the content indicated by the gesture. Once the opportunity for commercialization is determined, it is then presented to the user in conjunction with the indicated product and/or service.

  • Publication number: 20130117111
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting sponsor supplied content associated with commercial opportunities in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to determine and present sponsor supplied content associated with an opportunity for commercialization related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with possibly a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine which sponsor supplied content associated with an opportunity for commercialization to present.

  • Publication number: 20130117105
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting auxiliary content and information regarding browsing and/or navigation futures to be used in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to offer to one or more sponsors of content information regarding a next content to be examined by a user related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with potentially a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine a next content and distributes information to potential sponsors. Once auxiliary content is received or determined, it is then presented to the user when the next content is navigated to.

  • Publication number: 20130085848
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for automatically initiating a search to present auxiliary content in a gesture based input system are provided Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Search System (GBSS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to invoke (e.g., execute, generate, initiate, perform, or cause to be executed, generated, initiated, performed, or the like) a search related to an portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBSS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, or the like) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBSS then examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine input to a search. The search is then automatically initiated with the determined source input. Once search result content is determined, the result content is then presented to the user.
