  • Patent number: 9756055
    Abstract: Controlling resource access, a first device responsive to a request for access to a resource, determines whether to grant the access to the resource, based on an identity of a requestor requesting the access to the resource. The resource is provided by a second device that is separate from the first device. The first device customizes an access token with an access constraint to control the access to the resource, the access token is generated responsive to the first device determining that, based on the identity of the requestor requesting the access to the resource, the access to the resource is granted.

  • Patent number: 9654430
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for the transmission of electronic mail (email). While a user composes an email message and once an intended recipient has been entered, negotiation modules associated with client and server computers check both the recipient and attributes of the message as they are entered. The user is notified if there is an issue with the intended recipient and alternative recipients may be suggested. The user is also notified if a particular attribute exceeds a defined limit. In this manner, the user may alter the message so that the attribute conforms to the limit to ensure delivery. Tests may be provided to enable a user to exceed a limit and some users may be pre-authorized to exceed a limit.

  • Patent number: 9501638
    Abstract: A device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute a management program, an application program, and a first security module. The management program presents a first list associated with the first security module to a user that includes a first item that represents the application program. The application program is executed in a security mode that is governed by the first security module when the first item is selected.

  • Patent number: 8698807
    Abstract: In using an application's drawing feature, users typically use connecting lines between graphical shapes to depict a relationship between the shapes. Drawing connecting lines between two or more graphical shapes within an application can be a time consuming, manual task. An application that automatically generates connecting lines between shapes, based on spatial relationships among the shapes, can reduce the amount of time for drawing a diagram. Functionality can be implemented to generate connecting lines between 1:n shapes based on proximity among the shapes and/or contact between shapes. Automatically generating connecting lines among shapes based on spatial relationships among the shapes allows generating of the connecting lines based on manipulation of shapes, which typically have a larger surface area than a line. Manipulating a larger surface area can be easier than manipulating a line.
