Patent number: 11570203Abstract: An account protection service to prevent user login or other protected endpoint request abuse. In one embodiment, the service collects user recognition data, preferably for each login attempt (e.g. data about the connection, session, and other relevant context), and it constructs a true user profile for each such user over time, preferably using the recognition data from successful logins. The profile evolves as additional recognition data is collected from successful logins. The profile is a model of what the user “looks like” to the system. For a subsequent login attempt, the system then calculates a true user score. This score represents how well the current user recognition data matches the model represented by the true user profile. The user recognition service is used to drive policy decisions and enforcement capabilities. Preferably, user recognition works in association with bot detection in a combined solution.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Summers, Robert Polansky, Darryl Nicholson, Scott Markwell

An example method includes: detecting a first movement of a first User Interface (UI) element on a slider bar; determining that the first UI element is located within an active portion of the slider bar. The active portion comprises at least a sub-portion of the slider bar. The method also includes, determining that a second UI element is located within the active portion of the slider bar; determining a relative position of the first UI element to the second UI element; and assigning transaction priorities to a first entity identified by the first UI element and to a second entity identified by the second UI element based on the relative position. The method optionally includes causing a transaction involving the first entity and the second entity to be executed based on the transaction priorities.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Abhas Tandon, Ramakrishnan Kadayam Subramanian

Patent number: 10248287Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for finger gestures. In one aspect there is provided a method, which may include detecting a first finger gesture proximate to or making contact with a graphical user interface element representative of a first picker wheel presented on a user interface; detecting a second finger gesture proximate to or making contact with the user interface, the second finger gesture detected during a time period comprising a time when the first finger gesture is proximate to or making contact with the first picker wheel; changing, when the second finger gesture is detected, a second picker wheel from an independent mode to a dependent mode; and updating, when in the dependent mode, the second picker wheel based on a selection value made via the first finger gesture at the first picker wheel. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: SuccessFactors, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Angermayer

Patent number: 10203386Abstract: In a method and medical equipment for selecting a scanning protocol set, a preset virtual scanned object model including multiple scanned areas is loaded into a computer. The virtual scanned object model is a graphic or image model. A scanned area is selected by use of the virtual scanned object model. A default scanning protocol is set corresponding to the selected scanned area according to a preset correlation between the scanned area and the scanning protocol set, so as to complete the selection of the scanning protocol set.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Jun Xiong, Zhi Gen Yang

Patent number: 10070094Abstract: Systems and techniques for rendering audio data are generally disclosed. An example device for rendering a higher order ambition (HOA) audio signal includes a memory configured to store the HOA audio signal, and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to perform a loudness compensation process as part of generating an effect matrix. The one or more processors are further configured to render the HOA audio signal based on the effect matrix.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Nils Günther Peters, Martin James Morrell, Dipanjan Sen

Patent number: 10061476Abstract: Systems and methods for content identification, selection, organization and distribution are described. Content is identified or represented by one or more moods conveyed by the content to users. Once moods are identified for the content, the content can be searched based on those moods using ranges or sensory perception. Range-based searches are performed by looking for content having corresponding ranges and ranked based on the level of correspondence. Sensory mood searches are based on a user's association with the sensory information provided. Negative limitations may be used to exclude certain content that might otherwise be ranked based on the level of correspondence. Different types of content may be presented to users through a variety of different interfaces that are appropriate for the content. Distribution of content may be structured based on the moods associated with the content.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: APERTURE INVESTMENTS, LLCInventor: Jacquelyn Fuzell-Casey

Patent number: 9984209Abstract: An example method includes presenting, by a computing device, a range of available parameter values for the therapy parameter via a circular track, indicating, by the computing device, a present parameter value for the therapy parameter via the circular track, and receiving, by the computing device, via a user interface (UI), user input specifying a target parameter value for the therapy parameter, indicating, by the computing device, the target parameter value in conjunction with the present parameter value via the circular track, receiving by the computing device, via the UI, user input activating an adjustment from the present parameter value to the target parameter value, and in response to receiving the user input activating the adjustment, controlling, by the computing device, the medical device to adjust the therapy parameter value from the present parameter value to the target parameter value.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Douglas S. Cerny, Timmothy S. Carlson, Raj Mehra

Patent number: 9948256Abstract: Audio information of audio content being listened to by a user is received. An aspect of a listening environment of the user is identified. A volume preset, based on the audio information and the aspect of the listening environment, is determined to be available. A first volume of the audio content being listened to by the user is determined to be different from the volume preset. The first volume of the audio content is adjusted to a second volume.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eli M. Dow, Thomas D. Fitzsimmons, Maurice M. Materise, Jessie Yu

Patent number: 9558172Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for linking visual properties of charts to cells within tables. Methods provided by these tools enable users to select visual properties that are associated with graphical displays of chart data, and to link these visual properties to respective cells within the tables. User interfaces provided by these tools may provide representations of visual properties associated with the graphical displays of chart data, with these representations of the visual properties being responsive to user input to link the cells in the tables to the visual properties. These user interfaces may also include representations of the cells that are associated with the representations of the visual properties.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin Edward Rampson, Scott Ruble, Benjamin Sklar, Anupam Garg
