  • Patent number: 12267327
    Abstract: An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list.

  • Patent number: 11023930
    Abstract: A method and system for generating electronic advertisements, such as banner ads, based on user profile information, location information and proximity preferences are disclosed. An online promotion service may receive profile information, location information and other information from a user. The user may also define a proximity preference which may include a range of distance the user is willing to travel to redeem one or more promotions. A service or product provider or other authorized entity may define a proximity preference which may include a target range of advertisement exposure. The online promotion service may present advertisements for incentives and other promotions based on user profile information as well as proximity preference information where the proximity preference is defined by the user, the provider, or both.

  • Patent number: 9658695
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a system, and software includes providing output from a touch-based device to an external display; detecting gestures from a user located away from and not physically touching the touch-based device; and translating the detected gestures into appropriate commands for the touch-based device. The systems and methods provide alternative control of touch-based devices such as mobile devices. The systems and methods can include a mobile device coupled to an external display device and controlled via user gestures monitored by a collocated sensor. Accordingly, the systems and methods allow users to operate applications (“apps”) on the mobile device displayed on the external display device and controlled without touching the mobile device using gestures monitored by the collocated sensor. This enables the wide variety of rich apps to be operated in a new manner.

  • Patent number: 9543730
    Abstract: A wire singulating device includes a carrier member and a retention feature. The carrier member has a front edge and an opposite rear edge. The front edge defines an opening to a slot that extends at least partially towards the rear edge. The carrier member is configured to move relative to a wire bundle that includes plural wires such that the front edge engages the wire bundle. The slot is configured to receive one wire of the wire bundle therein. The retention feature is coupled to the carrier member and juxtaposed relative to the slot to retain the wire within the slot as the carrier member moves away from the wire bundle to separate the wire from the wire bundle.
