Publication number: 20240094873Abstract: A mobile computing device runs multiple activities concurrently and provides at least two modes for interacting with the activities. The user may toggle between the modes as desired. In a full-screen mode, one activity occupies substantially an entire display screen. In a windowed mode, the activity is visible within a window, and a portion of at least one other window is also visible. In the windowed mode, the user can cause windows to move, thereby changing focus from one activity to another. For example, the window having focus can be moved off the screen, to be replaced by a new window that is then given focus. The windows are ordered in a sequence and move in concert with one another; pushing one window off one edge of the screen causes a new window to appear at the opposite edge. A persistent positional relationship can be established among windows.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Matias Gonzalo DUARTE, Daniel Marc Gatan SHIPLACOFF, Jeremy Godfrey LYON, Paul MERCER, Ralph THOMAS

Patent number: 10021129Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for malware scanning and detection in a computing system. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes launching, in a computing device of the computing system, a virtual machine, and launching, in the virtual machine of the computing device, an internet browser. The method also includes requesting, by the internet browser, data from a web page, and performing, using one or more analysis tools, analysis on the web page. In the method, performing analysis on the web page includes performing monitoring and recording of system application programming interface (API) calls, and creating software objects associated with the web page. The method also includes performing antivirus scanning of the software objects, de-obfuscating JavaScript associated with the software objects, and correlating data associated with the performed analysis to determine if the web page is a malicious web page.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Ralph Thomas, Michael Lapilla, Trevor Tonn, Gregory Sinclair, Blake Hartstein, Matthew Cote
