  • Patent number: 8453212
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for accessing resources of a secure computing network may be provided. The method may include receiving a request to allow a user to access a secure computing network. The user may be associated with an avatar that has a unique set of one or more identifiers that are associated with the user. A security clearance level of the avatar may be determined from the unique set of identifiers of the avatar. The avatar may be authorized to access one or more virtual compartments of the secure computing network according to the security clearance level of the avatar. The virtual compartment may comprise one or more resources of the secure computing network. The method may further include facilitating display of one or more resources of a virtual compartment accessed by the avatar.

  • Patent number: 8234259
    Abstract: A computerized method of adjudicating text against a policy includes receiving one or more system policies, creating a system datastructure for each received system policy, receiving an input message comprising a text to be adjudicated, selecting a system policy from the one or more received system policies based on the input message, and processing the text to be adjudicated and the system datastructure corresponding to the selected system policy to determine if a prohibited word is present in the text to be adjudicated. The one or more system policies include one or more prohibited words and a first hit value corresponding to each prohibited word. The system datastructure includes a plurality of linked lists corresponding the letters of the alphabet and a head linked list operable to store one or more found prohibited words.

  • Publication number: 20110216059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating real-time 3D representation of a user immersed in a 3D representation of an area of interest are provided. In some embodiments, a method may be provided where the method provide steps for generating a three-dimensional area of interest based at least on substantially real-time data, generating an avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional area of interest for each user of a plurality of users, animating each avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional representation of area of interest based at least on gesture data received from one or more cameras associated to each user of the plurality of users, and manipulating objects represented in the three-dimensional representation of the area of interest.
