Patent number: 11651357Abstract: Embodiments implement multifactor authentication without a user footprint. An application programming interface call from a client application can be received that includes a messaging identifier. A transaction identifier can be transmitted to the client application and stored. Using a shared secret, a temporary password can be generated, where the shared secret can be associated with the transaction identifier and can be stored. The temporary password can be transmitted to the messaging identifier. A second application programming interface call can be received that includes a reference transaction identifier and input, where a user provides the input to the client application. The user can be authenticated when the reference transaction identifier matches a transaction identifier stored and the input matches an expected password that is based on a stored shared secret associated with the matching stored transaction identifier.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Samanvitha Kumar, Pruthvithej Ramesh Kumar

Patent number: 11653291Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing user-based resource allocation using OFDMA functionality. This may be accomplished by a WAP receiving a request for access to a network from a first device, wherein the first device is configured to communicate with the WAP using OFDMA. The request for access comprises an identifier and role associated with the first device. The WAP then determine if a second device associated with the same identifier as the first device is being allocated one or more RUs for communicating with the network. If there is a second device associated with the identifier being allocated RUs for communicating with the network, the WAP determines a number of one or more RUs to provide to the first device based on the role associated with the first device and one or more conditions stored in a database.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: ARISTA NETWORKS, INC.Inventor: Balram Ketan Vakil

Patent number: 11640451Abstract: An electronic device include: a display, an input unit, at least one processor, and a memory. The input unit includes at least one biometrics sensor and the memory includes instructions. The processor is configured to perform user authentication based on biometric sensing information obtained through the at least one biometrics sensor in response to an input to the input unit. In response to successfully performing the user authentication, the processor is configured to identify whether a duration of the input exceeds a first threshold time. The processor is configured to perform a first function when the duration is less than or equal to the first threshold time. The processor is also configured to perform a second function when the duration exceeds the first threshold time.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kihyung Nam, Keunyoung Park, Jaewook Kim

Patent number: 11632659Abstract: An indoor geolocation system for determining a location in three-dimensional space includes a plurality of base stations and a mobile device movable about an indoor environment in three dimensions. The mobile device detects electromagnetic signals in the indoor environment emitted by devices other than the base stations, and generates a signal profile based on the signals. The mobile device transmits the signal profile to one or more of the base stations, which forward the signal profile to a remote server. The system determines a location of the in three-dimensional space of the mobile device by comparing the signal profile to data regarding signal profiles at a plurality of locations in the indoor environment. The data regarding signal profiles in the indoor environment may have been captured by a detection device other than the mobile device at a time prior to the detection of the electromagnetic signals by the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPInventors: Robert Mesirow, Alec Massey, Devin Yaung

Patent number: 11622314Abstract: A method of detecting and disabling offending devices includes monitoring for a radio frequency signal. When an offending device initializes and registers with a cell tower, it emits the radio frequency signal. After the radio frequency signal is detected, a message including an identification of the radio frequency signal is transmitted to a receiver of a base station. Responsive to receiving the message, the base station sends a secure transaction that includes an indication of the radio frequency signal to a processor of a cellular carrier system. Responsive to receiving the secure transaction, the processor of the cellular carrier system correlates a time and the radio frequency signal with an account associated with the registration of the offending device, disconnects from the offending device, and disables an account associated with the offending device.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Detection Innovation Group, Inc.Inventors: David Segal, Chris Defant, Judd Sheets
