  • Patent number: 10334199
    Abstract: Disclosed is an infrastructure to support an augmented reality (AR) based community for drivers. Each driver's view (e.g., using an AR device) of other vehicles on the road can be augmented with virtual information about other drivers in the community. Drivers in the community can express their opinions on the driving behavior of other drivers in the community. Drivers' opinions can be accumulated and tallied to produce a cumulative assessment of a particular behavior for a particular driver. A driver's view through their AR device and be further augmented with the community's assessment of that driver's driving behavior, which can influence the driver's future behavior.

  • Patent number: 7788726
    Abstract: A system providing a secure lockbox methodology for protecting sensitive information is described. In one embodiment, the methodology includes steps of receiving input of sensitive information from a user; computing a data shadow of the sensitive information for storage in a repository; based on the data shadow stored in the repository, detecting any attempt to transmit the sensitive information; and blocking any detected attempt to transmit the sensitive information that is not authorized by the user.

  • Patent number: 6850943
    Abstract: A system providing methods for indirect access control is described. When an attempt to access a network by a first application is detected, a determination is made as to whether at least one other application is attempting indirect network access through the first application. If at least one other application is determined to be attempting indirect network access, each such other application is evaluated to determine if it is approved for network access. If each such other application is approved for network access, access to the network is permitted. Otherwise, access to the network is denied.
