  • Publication number: 20230316240
    Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing by a third party device a tip collection function to an activity operator to collect a tip from a participant. One method includes using the tip collection function to offer to a plurality of participants, by the activity operator, a portal to allow the participants to each pay a tip for a service. A method further includes paying, to the third party via a portal, the tip by each participant electing to pay the tip and aggregating, by the third party, a plurality of tips from the plurality of participants electing to pay the tip over a period of time. A method further includes paying, by the third party, the aggregated plurality of tips from the plurality of participants to the activity operator.

  • Patent number: 8108370
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing accurate detection of confidential information is described. In one embodiment, the method includes searching a text document for multiple classified data patterns associated with confidential information that is represented as personal identifiers. The method further includes finding, in the text document, one or more personal identifier candidates matching any of the classified data patterns, and validating each of the personal identifier candidates using one or more personal identifier validators to provide accurate detection of the confidential information in the text document.

  • Patent number: 8065739
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting policy violations in information content containing data in a character-based language is described. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying a policy for protecting source data having a tabular format. The source data contains one or more data fragments in the character-based language. The method further includes receiving information content having at least a portion in the character-based language, and determining whether any part of the information content, including the portion in the character-based language, violates the policy.

  • Patent number: 8060596
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for normalizing data-loss-prevention categorization information, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing system comprising at least one processor, may identify a data object at a first time. The method may apply a first version of a set of data-loss-prevention rules to the data object to determine a set of categorizations of the data object. The method may distinguish a set of content-based categorizations in the set of categorizations from a set of context-based categorizations in the set of categorizations. The method may apply, based on the set of categorizations, a first data-loss-prevention policy to the data object. The method may identify the data object at a second time, and apply, based on the set of content-based categorizations, a second data-loss-prevention policy to the data object. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
