  • Patent number: 10073600
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system automatically adjusts the size of a selection area to aid in a selection of an object generated by a computerized system. The method and system detect a series of movements of a pointer, where the pointer is utilized to select an entity of the object. The series of movements are small and continuous. A set of entities that occupies the selection area is determined and the entities are analyzed for an indication of a level of difficulty in selecting one of the entities. The size of the selection area is reduced when the indication implies that the level of difficulty will be decreased after reducing the size of the selection area.

  • Patent number: 8473355
    Abstract: A system and method for electronic wallet conversion allows conversion of a basic electronic wallet to a more flexible wallet account, providing additional services and requiring additional authentication. The basic accountholder eventually requires the additional services provided by the more flexible wallet, typically editing rights and making purchases at sites requiring authentication beyond the basic level. To convert the account, the account holder is presented with a one-time challenge and response mechanism that requires the accountholder to summon information that only the account holder would know. If a successful match is made, the account is converted to the more flexible account for all time. The accountholder replaces the one-time challenge and response with a second-level password that grants the accountholder ongoing access to more sensitive wallet features, such as the ability to purchase at sites requiring a second-level password, and editing rights to the information stored in the wallet.

  • Patent number: 7346587
    Abstract: An intelligent method of e-commerce order completion automatically completes an order using either stored billing information, or information supplied at purchase if none is stored. User sends an order to a merchant. On receipt, user's authentication level is checked. If user is authenticated and billing information has been stored, it is retrieved and order completed without further user action. When none has been stored, flow redirects to a digital form for entering billing information, whereupon order is completed. In this case, after order completion, the user may save billing information to create a new digital wallet. To create the wallet, if the user isn't authenticated, or is insufficiently authenticated, they are first prompted to authenticate. Upon wallet creation, the user is fully authenticated and can complete purchases quickly without providing billing information with every purchase.
