Patent number: 11941100Abstract: An apparatus verifies hosted information associated with a user. The apparatus establishes, by the online host serving as a relying party system (RPS), a secure connection between the RPS and a user mobile-identification-credential device (UMD). The RPS sends a mobile identification credential (MIC) user information request to the UMD, via the secure connection, seeking release of MIC user information (official information). The RPS obtains from authorizing party system (APS) verification of the MIC user information received in response to the MIC user information request. The RPS stores the MIC user information as hosted information pertaining to the user. The RPS designates the hosted information as base truth information representing the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, represented by the Secretary of Homeland SecurityInventors: Daniel A. Boyd, Kelli L Biegger, Chang Ellison, Brandon P. Gutierrez, Jason Lim, William Washington

Publication number: 20240098503Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a client device a request for client access. The provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client. The provider system receives client information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified client information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the client. The provider system verifies the identity of the client before granting the client the request for client access.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Homeland SecurityInventors: Jason Lim, Daniel Boyd, Chang Ellison, William Washington

Publication number: 20240085989Abstract: Systems and methods for radial gesture navigation are provided. In example embodiments, user input data is received from a user device. The user input data indicates a continuous physical user interaction associated with a display screen of the user device. An initial point and a current point are detected from the user input data. A radius distance for a circle that includes the current point and is centered about the initial point is determined. An action is selected from among multiple actions based on the radius distance being within a particular range among successive ranges along a straight line that starts at the initial point and extends through the circle. Each range among the successive ranges corresponds to a particular action among the multiple actions. The selected action is performed in response to detecting a completion of the continuous physical user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ty Blachly, Nathan Boyd, Donald Giovannini, Krish Jayaram, Evan Spiegel, William Wu
