  • Patent number: 10162963
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting malware, such as a virus or spyware. The method looks for deviations expected operating parameters instead of focusing solely on conventional malware signatures. The method includes monitoring current operating parameters for a computing system running one or more application, obtaining baseline operating parameters for the computing system running the one or more application in the absence of malware, identifying a deviation between the current operating parameters and the baseline operating parameters, and determining whether the identified deviation matches a deviation associated with a predetermined malware definition.

  • Publication number: 20180095531
    Abstract: A method includes using a camera to monitor a direction of focus of at least one eye of a person, wherein the person is facing the camera and a display screen, and determining an area of the display screen that is a central focus area based on the direction of focus of the at least one eye of the person. The method further includes obtaining an image to be displayed on the display screen, wherein the image has a first portion to be displayed within the central focus area and a second portion to be displayed outside the central focus area. Still further, the method includes displaying the first portion of the image using a first image resolution, and displaying the second portion of the image using a second image resolution, wherein the second image resolution is lower than the first image resolution.
