  • Publication number: 20160191511
    Abstract: A wearable device is used to authenticate a user into a user account at a user device of the user. In particular, the wearable device may include a sensor configured to detect a body chemistry of the user. The wearable device may send a signal, such as a short range wireless signal, Bluetooth Low Energy or the like, to the user device to communicate the detected body chemistry to the user device. The user device may authenticate the user based on the body chemistry condition detected at the wearable device. In an embodiment, the wearable device may include an olfactory sensor configured to detect certain smell or scent of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160179791
    Abstract: A method for translating content includes providing a plurality of content on a user device. The plurality of content is associated with a first region display mode. The plurality of content is displayed on the user device in the first region display mode. A predefined orientation is then detected in the user device. The plurality of content is then translated according to a second region display mode to produce a plurality of translated content. The plurality of translated content is then displayed on the user device. In different embodiments, the plurality of content may have been previously provided on the user device, may be retrieved over a network by the user device, or my be received through a user interface on the user device. A specific embodiment allows a user to rotate the user device 180 degrees to quickly and easily translate text displayed on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20160155210
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing interaction between a user device and an interactive display system using near field communications are provided. The interactive display system includes a display panel configured to present visual content and near field communication (NFC) devices behind or within the display panel. The interactive display system detects a user device adjacent to the display panel using at least one of the NFC devices. The interactive display system determines a position relative to the display panel for the user device. The interactive display system exchanges data with the user device based on the position. The interactive display system may receive data that includes displayable information from the user device and present the displayable information on the display panel at or near the position for the user device. The interactive display system may simultaneously interact with more than one user device.

  • Publication number: 20160148488
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for providing digital dye packs and/or distress signals on a device user interface in connection with a transaction. In an embodiment, a system includes a communication module that interacts with a device having an input device that receives, from a user of the device, specific distress identifier information in connection with conducting a transaction via the device. The system also includes a non-transitory memory comprising a database storing specific distress identifier information with corresponding defensive actions that are executed based on the specific distress identifier information. The system further includes at least one hardware processor in communication with the non-transitory memory and the communication module for executing the defensive actions corresponding to the specific distress identifier information based at least in part on the specific distress identifier information received from the user of the device in connection with the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20160149945
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for providing digital dye packs in connection with a transaction via a device user interface. In an embodiment, a system includes a communication module of a remote server that interacts with a device that receives, from a user of the device, specific identifier information in connection with conducting a transaction with a recipient server; wherein the specific identifier information is associated with an alert of potential risk of the transaction. The system also includes a non-transitory memory comprising a database storing specific identifier information with corresponding actions that are executed based on the specific identifier information. The system further includes at least one hardware processor for executing an action in response to receiving corresponding identifier information associated with the alert of potential risk from the device in connection with the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20150381884
    Abstract: A method of editing a digital image is provided herein. The method includes displaying a first image in a user interface presented in a display of a user device, receiving a selection of an edit area of the first image, and displaying a portion of a second image of a plurality of still images in the edit area of the first image. Each of the plurality of still images is captured in succession adjacent to the first image. The method further includes replacing the edit area of the first image with the portion of the second image to generate a modified image and storing the modified image in memory as an image file. Associated systems and computer program products are also provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20140068516
    Abstract: A method for providing expanded icon functionality includes displaying a primary icon using a display device. The primary icon is associated with a primary icon function in a storage device and the primary icon function is performed in response to a first user action directed to the primary icon. A second user action that is different from the first user action is received that is directed to the primary icon and, in response, at least one secondary icon that is associated with the primary icon and the second user action in the storage device is retrieved. The at least one secondary icon is displayed using the display device. Each at least one secondary icon is associated with a respective secondary icon function in the storage device, and in response to a selection of a secondary icon, the respective secondary icon function is performed.
