  • Publication number: 20230079416
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for controlling access by applications to application data are provided. A computing device receives a request for access control data over a network and returns access control data to the requestor to control an applications access over the network to application data. The access control data returned to the requestor includes access-point dependent access control data to control the application's access to the application data based on the access point used to access the network.

  • Patent number: 10594697
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for collaborative authentication of a person based on an interaction with another person. A request for collaborative authentication is sent to the computing device of a person wanting to access a system, including an authentication ID unique to the request. The person collaborates with another person associated with the system and provides the second person with the authentication ID. The second person sends the authentication ID to the system such that the system associates the second person with the first person. Data is sent to the second person in order to challenge the first person. The first person responds to the challenge using the computing device and the system receives the response. The system compares the response to an expected answer and can either allow or deny the first person access to the system based on the comparison. Co-location may also be verified.

  • Publication number: 20190220481
    Abstract: A system for document searching can include a camera. The system may further include an image capturing module configured to capture a first image of a first portion of a document, a feature recognition module in communication with the image capturing module, the feature recognition module configured to determine a first feature associated with the first image, a search module configured to send search information to a server and receive a first result from a first search of a set of documents that was performed based on one or more search criteria determined based on the first feature associated with the first image, and a search interface configured to present the first result on the device.

  • Patent number: 10255496
    Abstract: A method and device for capturing a positionally corrected image of a document is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a two-dimensional image of the document with a mobile terminal apparatus; performing edge detection within the two-dimensional image to identify edges of the document; determining angles between detected edges; calculating, based on the detected edges and the angles determined, a three-dimensional position of the document relative to a position of the mobile terminal apparatus; calculating correction information to correct, by relative movement, the position of the document relative to the position of the mobile terminal apparatus; providing first guidance information derived from the correction information to a user of the mobile terminal apparatus, guiding the user to perform the relative movement; and capturing a positionally corrected image of the document. Thereby, the document can be captured with a quality sufficient to permit Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

  • Patent number: 10154035
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to multiple applications on a computing device are provided. One embodiment of a system includes an access device configured to: receive a request to access a first application and a device identifier; authenticate the user using a user credential associated with the user and store the device identifier in association with a login identifier in response to authentication of the user. The access device can be further configured to receive a request to access a second application and the device identifier. The access device can allow access to the second application based on the previous authentication of the user.

  • Patent number: 10037322
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for tracking documents in a computing environment, including documents stored locally on computing devices. A monitoring module stored on a computing device may determine that a user is trying to open a document stored locally on the computing device and communicate a signature associated with the document to a document tracking system. A document tracking system may compare the signature with a set of stored signatures to see if the document corresponds to a document already being tracked. If the document is not being tracked already, the document tracking system may upload the document into the system, send a link to a newer version or determine one or more actions to be performed on the document based on the signature.
