Publication number: 20230362165Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for identifying accounts having shared credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can collect user login context data when a user logs in to or accesses a user account of the content management system. For example, the content management system can collect client device data, client application data, internet protocol (IP) address data, and/or other data from the user's device when the user logs in to the user account. The content management system can analyze the login context data to determine patterns that indicate that the user account login credentials are being shared among multiple users.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Kapil Yedidi, Anton Mityagin, Sean Byrne, Andrew Scheff

Publication number: 20200108077Abstract: An oral composition that delivers a dose of an active ingredient, e.g., gymnemic acid (GA), directly to the sweetness taste receptors of an oral cavity, which blocks the sense of sweetness and thereby produces appetite control. The oral composition contains a sweet-suppressing agent as an active ingredient (e.g., GA), a sweetening agent (e.g., inulin), and a flavor (e.g., spearmint or cinnamon). The oral composition can include an appetite-suppressing agent (e.g., chromium.) The sweet-suppressing agent can interact with taste receptors in an oral cavity of a consumer to temporarily suppress the taste of sweetness. The sweetening agent can decrease the bitterness taste of the sweet-suppressing agent. The oral composition can be in any dosage form, e.g., an orally disintegrating tablet, an orally dispersible tablet, a troche, a candy, a jelly, a gum, an edible film or a strip, a wafer, a drop, an oral spray, a liquid, or powder.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2018Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Sean Byrne, Harley Pasternak

Patent number: 10104044Abstract: Techniques for coercing users to encrypt synchronized content stored at their personal computing devices. In some aspects, one or more computing devices receive, from a personal computing device, an indication of whether data stored in at least a portion of a storage device of the personal computing device is protected by disk encryption. In response to determining, based on the indication, that the portion of the storage device is not protected by encryption, synchronization data for synchronizing a copy of one or more synchronized content items stored in the portion of the storage device with another copy of the synchronized content items stored at one or more server computing devices is withheld from the personal computing device until disk encryption on the personal computing device is enabled so as to coerce the user to enable disk encryption on the personal computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventor: Sean Byrne

Patent number: 9961053Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting compromised credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can receive information identifying compromised login credentials (e.g., account identifier, password, etc.) from a third party server. The login credentials can be represented by a first hash value generated using a hashing algorithm. When a user logs in to the content management system the user can provide the user's account identifier and password for the content management system. The content management system can generate a second hash value from the user-supplied password using the same hashing algorithm used for the compromised login credentials. The content management system can determine whether the second hash value matches the first hash value and prompt the user to provide a new password for the user's content management system account when the second hash value matches the first hash value.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: DROPBOX, INC.Inventors: Kapil Yedidi, Anton Mityagin, Sean Byrne

Publication number: 20180107891Abstract: A method and system (10) for mitigating fuel theft relating to refueling or recharging a vehicle by capturing an image of a unique vehicle identification marker (14), such as a an alphanumeric vehicle registration plate, comparing one or more features of the image with a record containing features from a number of images of previously captured unique vehicle identification markers, and providing an alert if the features of the unique vehicle identification marker match features of at least one of the number of unique vehicle identification markers in the record. A request (26) for payment for fuel can be required before fuel delivery is enabled or a debt payment request can be provided if fuel has been delivered but not paid for within a period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2016Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Anthony James Schmidt, Eoin Sean Byrne
