Patent number: 10360412Abstract: A restricted access device such as a cellphone, a tablet or a personal computer, analyzes contemporaneous keyboard inputs of a password and gestures to authenticate the user and enable further access to applications and processes of the restricted access device. The gestures may be facial gestures detected by a camera or may be gestures made by an avatar rendered on a display of the device. The password may be shorted based upon the context of the authentication as well as any gestures occurring during password entry. The gestures may be learned by the restricted access device during the password entry process.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lorraine Herger, Neal Keller, James R. Kozloski, Matthew A. McCarthy, Clifford A. Pickover, Andrew Wyskida

Patent number: 9135849Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for managing variable operating mode applications that vary a cognitive load of the output of the applications presented to users wearing head mounted display devices. A tolerance level is indicative of the cognitive load of each operating mode of an application is established. In a vehicle setting, the operating mode of the application is selected to enable the safe operation of the vehicle based in part upon the tolerance level associated with the operating mode. If errant operations of vehicles are detected, then an application server modifies the tolerance level and synchronizes the modified tolerance level with head mounted display devices including the application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lorraine Herger, Neal Keller, James R.

Patent number: 7870252Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for monitoring availability of end user devices needed for performing tasks. The system comprises a first network including one or more devices associated with an end user, at least one device adapted for communicating with a service provider over a second network, the service provider providing network-based services in the system. The system includes a memory storage device for maintaining information of tasks associated with an end user, the information including recommended end-user devices adapted to perform the tasks, the information being accessible to at least one end-user device. At least one end-user device detects non-availability or performance deficiencies of any end-user device required in performing end-user tasks, and communicates with the service provider for invoking network-based services to facilitate correcting non-availability of any end-user device.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2008Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Neal Keller, Juhnyoung Lee, Clifford A.

Publication number: 20060248150Abstract: A method of managing instant messaging communication over a computer network is provided. One or more instant messaging session windows are organized in an instant messaging session manager. At least one distinguishing session characteristic is attributed to each of the one or more instant messaging session windows. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic is at least one of a sound clip associated with a user of the session, an instant messaging session window background associated with a user of the session, and a change in at least one of a color and an intensity of the instant messaging session window. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic increases a likelihood of identification of each of the one or more instant messaging session windows.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jarir Chaar, Neal Keller, Clifford Pickover, Robert Wisniewski
