  • Publication number: 20250063068
    Abstract: An application-operating organization may delegate a third-party server to serve as an automated contextual authentication responder and an authorization responder. The third-party server may manage a delegated section of the organization's namespace that includes the public identities of various devices controlled by the organization. The third-party server may also dynamically generate interaction control list that is tailored to a requesting device's context based on the interaction control policies set forth by the organization. The interaction control list may include information that determines the authorization of the requesting device to interact with another device. The third-party server may also automatically determine the role of a new device to which existing policies are inapplicable and provide guided workflow for the organization to set up new interaction control policies in governing the new device.

  • Patent number: 8914791
    Abstract: When a user of the wireless terminal connects the wireless terminal to a computer, the wireless terminal detects the connection and determines whether the connection is the first time for connection to the computer. If the connection is the first time connection, the wireless terminal obtains information of wireless terminal software on the wireless terminal. Then, the wireless terminal causes the computer to access a server via a network and to download to the computer a software upgrading assistance (SUA) program from the server. The SUA program assists update of the wireless terminal software.

  • Patent number: 6126299
    Abstract: The present invention provides a navigational safety lighting system for use in low visibility conditions caused by fog, mist, rain, snow or other particulate matter in the atmosphere. A laser light source is utilized which emits a beam of laser light that is visible to the naked eye when it strikes the particulate matter in the atmosphere. The laser light source may be mounted on an air, water or land craft, or may be mounted on navigational or other objects to identify them in such low visibility conditions. Also, the laser light source on an air, water or land craft may be directed in the direction of movement of the craft to identify obstacles in the path of the craft in such low visibility conditions.
