Abstract: Methods and systems for account access security at a network access device. The method includes receiving data indicating that a particular user has initiated a particular request at an access point; obtaining sensor data that is generated by one or more sensors of the access point proximate to a time that the particular user initiated the particular request; classifying the particular request as a particular type of request; in response to determining that the particular request is classified as the particular type of request, initiating an exception processing mode in which requests that are initiated by the users at the access point result in the generation and output of inaccurate completion data to mimic completion of the request; processing the particular request using the exception processing mode; and providing the inaccurate completion data generated by the access point for the particular request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for high fidelity multi-modal out-of-band biometric authentication are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for multi-mode biometric authentication may include (1) receiving, at a computer application executed by an electronic device, a first input from a first input device on the electronic device; (2) receiving, at the computer application, a second data from a second input device on the electronic device; (3) receiving, at the computer application, a third input from a third input device on the electronic device; and (4) communicating, by the computer application and to a server, the first input, the second input, and the third input. The first input, second input and third input may be received within a predetermined time period, such as five seconds.

Abstract: An authentication method in a system having a display and a storage device is provided. The authentication method includes the steps of registering an object selected for each user from among a plurality of visually distinguishable objects prepared in advance as a key object in the storage device; and presenting the plurality of objects to the display, accepting selection of an object by a user to be authenticated, and performing authentication based on matching/mismatching of the selected object with the key object registered in association with the user. The step of registering includes a step of determining a degree of freedom of selection of the object at the time of registration of the key object according to a degree of overlapping of the key object already registered in the storage device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling multimodal tags in a communication device is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a first training signal and receiving a second training signal in conjunction with the first training signal. A multimodal tag is created to represent a combination of the first training signal and the second training signal and a function is associated with the created multimodal tag.

Abstract: A method of accessing an Extensible Hypertext Markup Language Plus Voice Web page can include the step of receiving a request for an Extensible Hypertext Markup Language Plus Voice Web page from a source that lacks the ability to directly render the Web page. The Web page can be segmented into a multitude of fragments, where each fragment can consist of a single interface category, such as a graphical user interface category or a voice category. These fragments can be used to provide the requesting source with information from the Web page.
