Patent number: 9513797Abstract: Securing an electronic device and associated information is facilitated. A security component facilitates display and operation of a lock track comprising a locked portion having a positive slope and an unlocked portion, including a chasm, that is adjacent to a high point of the positive-sloped unlocked portion of the lock track. A lock facilitator component (LFC) can be moved along the track between a low point of the locked portion and the unlocked portion. The LFC can be moved in response to received input, and if the input is not sufficient to move the LFC from the locked region to the unlocked region, the LFC can be moved back down the positive-sloped lock track to the low point. The security component can control information to be displayed in an overlay display region in accordance with security level(s) of the device or application.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Cristy Swink, Jason Sikes, Eric Brady Burns, Alex Tam, Harry Lawson Kight, Ratna Desai, Alison Rae Maiorano, Katrin Asen, Philip Foeckler, Benjamin Fineman, Jennifer Siu Bettendorff, Sheldon Pacotti, Joseph Filani, Philip Brock, Jonathan Solis Snydal

Patent number: 9369833Abstract: A first mobile device may receive, via a text messaging application, first location information from a second mobile device. The first location information may indicate a first geographic location of the second mobile device. The first mobile device may receive, via the text messaging application, second location information from the second mobile device. The second location information may indicate a second geographic location of the second mobile device. The first mobile device may generate, based on the first location information and the second location information, a graphical representation. The graphical representation may represent a movement of the second mobile device from the first geographic location to the second geographic location. The first mobile device may provide the graphical representation for display via a display associated with the first mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignees: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc., Cellco PartnershipInventors: Mahendra Tharshanan, Amir Mayblum, Jerry M.
