Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing an authentication policy for a user on a network of an organization includes determining at least one social media attribute of the user, and a social media risk value is assigned based on the at least one social media attribute of the user. The method further includes determining at least one network activity risk attribute of the user, and a network activity risk score is assigned based on the at least one network activity risk attribute. A current risk assessment score of the user is calculated based on the social media risk value and the network activity risk value. An authentication policy for the user is determined based on the current risk assessment score.

Abstract: A method of controlling access to a remote system includes granting a connecting device full access to the system upon determining the device is registered to a user, upon determining the device is not registered, determining whether the device has connected to the system before, granting the device full access to the system if the device has connected before and a trust index based on a trust level for the device and a trust level of a location the device is currently connecting from exceeds a threshold, and granting the device limited access to the system otherwise.

Abstract: Providing reserved routes for a plurality of vehicles, in which the at least a location is monitored and communicated from each of a plurality of vehicles having GPS devices and traveling to destinations on reserved routes with guaranteed arrival times. For a traffic event along one of the reserved routes; determining if any of the plurality of vehicles are affected or will be affected by the traffic event and calculating alternate routes for those vehicles The alternate routes are sent to the GPS devices in the affected or possibly affected vehicles and once the vehicle has reached the destination, comparing an actual arrival time of the vehicle at the destination to the guaranteed arrival time, and if the actual arrival time is later than the guaranteed arrival time, crediting a user of the vehicle for at least a portion of an amount paid for reserving the reserved route.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to managing authentication policies for users on a network of an organization. A computer-implemented method for managing an authentication policy for a user on a network of an organization is provided. The method maintains a current risk assessment score of the user based on an organizational role of the user within the organization and a history of security violations on the network. The method determines the authentication policy for the user based on the current risk assessment score.

Abstract: A method and system of reducing route congestion due to a traffic event during simultaneous rerouting of a route by GPS devices. A computer receives information regarding the traffic event; predicts at least one GPS alternate route which a GPS device would recommend to a user to avoid the traffic event; predicts a number of users that would utilize the at least one GPS alternate route; finds at least one other alternate route; determines a number of existing vehicles already present on the GPS alternate route and on the at least one other alternate route; calculates a reroute weight for each of the GPS alternate routes, calculates modified traffic information for each of the GPS alternate routes by applying the reroute weight for the GPS alternate route to increase the real-time traffic data for the GPS alternate route; and sends the modified traffic information to the GPS devices.

Abstract: A method includes a computing device receiving data traffic flow and initializing a subroutine to assess alerts for the received data traffic flow; the computer device determining a collection of rules which produce more than a threshold of false positive alerts and more than a threshold of true positive alerts for the assessed alerts; the computer device determining a logical condition and an atomic rule element to add to the collection of rules; and the computer device implementing the added logical condition and atomic rule element if the number of assessed alerts are decreased below a value.

Abstract: A method includes a computing device receiving read source content from at least one content provider; the computing device creating a read order file for the received read source content in accordance with at least one selected criteria; the computing device packaging the read order file into a computer readable schema file; and delivering the computer readable schema file to at least one user device.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically pausing a remote voicemail recording to answer an incoming call and to notify an incoming caller of a user voicemail interaction. A command to pause the voicemail recording can be determined by the user prior to establishing the voicemail recording. Upon receiving an incoming call the user can be notified of the incoming call prior to terminating the voicemail recording. The command for pausing voicemail recording can be sent to a voicemail system to pause the voicemail recording if the user opts to receive the incoming call. When the call is concluded, the user can be returned to the voicemail system with options such as resume recording, playback, delete, or cancel the message.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for selectively using degree confidence for image validation to authorize transactions, wherein a request to authorize a transaction is received, the request including a user's name, a photo of the user, and a transaction value. A database is queried with the user's name to identify one or more reference photos of the user; and, the received photo of the user is compared to the reference photo of the user with an analysis engine to generate a confidence value. An authorization threshold is determined with a processor based on the transaction value. The transaction is authorized when the confidence value is equal to and/or greater than the authorization threshold.

Abstract: A method or apparatus for generating or modifying use-oriented information may include stored information regarding general and detailed product information. An information processor may receive additional information regarding an individual user or consumer of the product, as well as the particular context in which the product is used by the individual. Based at least on the received use context, the information processor may select or modify relatively specific product-related or service-related information, personalized or tailored to the individual's particular use of the product. The resulting use-oriented information may be sent to the individual by way of a telecommunications network or other suitable means.
