  • Patent number: 8606625
    Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product are directed towards determination of a variable toll for a particular target vehicle using a particular point-to-point travel segment of a particular toll road. The variable toll is calculated predicated upon a deviation of an instantaneous point-to-point traffic volume for the particular target vehicle exiting the toll road in comparison with an arbitrarily determined baseline point-to-point traffic volume. The instantaneous point-to-point traffic volume includes vehicles traveling at least a portion of the same point-to-point travel segment as the target vehicle during an effective time interval when the target vehicle traveled the point-to-point travel segment.

  • Patent number: 8375322
    Abstract: The invention addresses the need to view an entire document element, such as a photograph, paragraph, etc. when paging. A window generated by an application such as a browser includes a succession of document elements. The window has an actual top and an actual bottom. The computer system selects a paging step size automatically, wherein the paging step size is selected from a group. The group includes a first step size that is of a size such that paging downward by the first step size from the current window position advances the window to a location placing the top of the at least one document element a predetermined distance below the top of the window.

  • Patent number: 8103257
    Abstract: A data transmission method and system. The method includes transmitting by a first wireless communication device to a second wireless communication device, first voice data associated with a first user. The first wireless communication device receives from the second wireless communication device, a verbal request for receiving text data. The first wireless communication device retrieves the text data. The first wireless communication device generates a transaction data object comprising the text data and a command for executing an executable program for performing an action with respect to the text data on the second wireless communication device. The first wireless communication device simultaneously transmits second voice data and the transaction data object to the second wireless communication device.

  • Patent number: 8087071
    Abstract: An authentication method and system. A computing system generates an authentication table associated with a user. The computing system receives first authentication data and second authentication data differing from the first authentication data. The first authentication data and the second authentication data are placed in the authentication table. The authentication table comprising the first authentication data and the second authentication data is stored in the computing system. The computing system generates an action table. The computing system receives first action data and second action data and places the first action data and the second action data in the action table. The action table comprising the first action data and the second action data is stored in the computing system.

  • Publication number: 20100115583
    Abstract: A method for user information authentication which includes setting user information for a user account, such user information being the set user information; inputting user information by a user for the user account into a device, such user information being the input user information; evaluating the input user information for correspondence with the set user information according to fault-tolerant user information rules, wherein such rules evaluate the input user information for content and closeness to the set user information and noting if the input user information is a valid user information, a fault-tolerant user information, or an invalid user information; authorizing access to the user account if the input user information is a valid user information. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes incrementing an invalid user information counter only if the user information is an invalid user information.

  • Patent number: 6788316
    Abstract: A method and computer program product is described for displaying files associated with multiple hypertext links selected from a Web page. A user selects a set of links from a Web page that contains multiple links, and the linked files are displayed in a preferred sequence without having to repeatedly return to the original Web page. In addition, files associated with these links can be downloaded while the first links are being displayed and viewed by the user. Thus, both the usability and the performance in Web browsing is improved.
