  • Publication number: 20180191798
    Abstract: Systems and methods for server-side rendering of native content for presentation within an environment of an application are provided. A method includes receiving, by a data processing system, from a client device, a request for content including a content slot identifier identifying a particular content slot provided by a resource; accessing, using the content slot identifier, a database to identify a presentation schema used to arrange content components to generate rendered content files according to a specific configuration for display within an environment of the resource; identifying, responsive to the request for content, a content asset including a plurality of content components; rendering, as a rendered content file, the plurality of content components based on the presentation schema corresponding to the content slot; and transmitting, by the data processing system, the rendered content file to the client device for display within the content slot of the resource.

  • Publication number: 20150242609
    Abstract: Applications that rely on user authentication information execute within an application container on the computing device. The application container comprises a plug receiver module and a delegate module. When a request for authentication is initiated, the user is prompted to connect a remote identification device to the computing device. The remote identification device stores an encrypted version of a user secret code. The plug receiver module reads the encrypted version of the user secret code and communicates the encrypted information to a remote authentication server. The remote authentication server decrypts the user secret code and uses the decrypted user secret code to identify and communicate corresponding user authentication information to the delegate module. The delegate module establishes an authenticated session by making the user authentication information available to the applications executing in the application container.

  • Patent number: 9077713
    Abstract: A system provides a remote electronic device with secure access to a web service. The system generates an alphanumeric character set, encodes the character set in a barcode, and outputs the barcode on a login page. When the system receives an access request from a remote electronic device, it will determine whether the request or a following communication includes the character set and a unique identifier for an authentication application that is installed on the remote electronic device. If so, then the system will use the unique identifier to identify a user account for a user who is using the remote device, generate a home page that includes one or more functions for which the user account is authorized, and output the home page. The system will output the home page in a manner that permits the remote electronic device to securely access and display the home page.

  • Patent number: 8515828
    Abstract: A product recommendation system and method identify product characteristics from customer reviews using a semantic analysis of the product review text. The semantic analysis identifies negative sentiment keywords associated with one or more product characteristics in the customer review and assigns each negative sentiment keyword a value. The value of each identified negative sentiment keywords is then used to calculate a score for the product characteristic to which the negative sentiment keyword is correlated. A product recommendation report comprising the identified products, their product characteristics, a list of scored product reviews, or a combination thereof is then presented to the end user.
