Patent number: 11651060Abstract: Techniques for client side multi-factor password generation include randomly removing one or more features of a record of a fingerprint image of a user and creating a distorted record of the fingerprint image by merging the record with a user input code using an encryption technique, the distorted record being reversible using the user input code. The distorted record for authentication of the user is registered.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniela Regier, Vijai Kalathur, James A.

Publication number: 20200233550Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a textual user input at a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayed on a display screen. The GUI includes a number of windows that each correspond to a different application with one of the windows having the input focus. The approach determines an input context type for the received textual input and compares the input context type to application contexts that correspond to the applications being displayed in the windows. One of the applications is selected based on the comparison and the received textual user input is then directed to the window that corresponds to the selected application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Vijai Kalathur, Muneeb Arshad, Gregory Ecock, Megan Capobianco, Christopher Potter, Daniela Regier

Patent number: 10652308Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer program products method for cognitive storage management for a mobile computing device. The computer-implemented method includes monitoring, using a processor, content generation and usage on a mobile computing device by a user associated with the mobile computing device to determine usage habits of the user. The processor determines a storage capacity for the mobile computing device. The processor predicts future content generation and usage by the user based on the determined usage habits. The processor determines whether future storage capacity issues could exist based on the predicted future content usage and the determined storage capacity. The processor, in response to a determination that future storage capacity issues could exist based on the predicted future content usage and the determined storage capacity, causes at least a portion of content stored on the mobile computing device for storage in a remote storage.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vijai Kalathur, Rajaram B.
