Abstract: A system for allowing product managers and software engineers to search for existing software modules that meet desired parameters and to identify opportunities to develop new software modules is provided. When product developer creates a software component they assign combinations of tags to the software component in a predetermined format and structure that describes features of the component such as the entity that would use the component, actions that are performed by the component, objects used by the component, and desired outcomes of the component. These tags are associated with the software component in the system. Later, when a developer has a need or idea for a particular component, the developer uses the system to construct a sentence that describes the features of the component as described above. The system then identifies any existing components that match or are close matches to the described component.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for implementing a wearable computing device having an Optical Head-Mounted Display (OHMD) to automatically determine which individuals within a business environment, such as a retail store, banking center or the like, are established customers. Such a determination of established customer status is conducted without requiring any action on behalf of the individuals/customers currently located within the business environment and can be accomplished when the established customer enters the business location or shortly thereafter. Once established customers are identified, customer indicators are provided within the view of the OHMD, so that a business associate/employee can readily identity which individual within their field of view are established customers.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer program products provide for monitoring an area within or proximate to a place of business for digital signatures of mobile communication devices, such as cellular devices or wearable communication devices. The captured digital signatures are then matched to digital signatures associated with existing customers of the business to determine the presence of the existing customer within or proximate to the place of business. Once the presence of the existing customer within or proximate to the business is known, the business can access other relevant information, such as customer profile information, prior transaction/interaction information or the like to enhance the customer's current interaction with the business. Moreover, once the presence of the existing customer is known, location determining mechanisms may implemented to track the location of the known customer within or proximate to the place of business for the purpose of positively identifying the known customer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for authenticating a user based on a sequence of rhythmic inputs. The user via a mobile device provides one or more inputs (e.g., pushing a button, tapping a touchscreen, a biometric, or the like) to one or more sensors associated with the mobile device as an attempt of authorization. The one or more inputs may be provided in a rhythmic manner (e.g., provided in time with music). The present invention then compares the provided one or more inputs to one or more predetermined sequences of inputs that are associated with positive authentication of the user (e.g., a known password). The phone determines that the one or more provided inputs match one or more predetermined rhythmic sequences associated with positive authentication of the user and authenticates the user.
