20150332030 | System for Locking Down a Computing Device for Restricted Access to End Users - The present invention discloses system for locking down the computing devices for restricted access to end users. The system includes a lock down module, a monitoring module and a single application module. The system using these modules blocks a user's access to at least one of a plurality of unallowed applications and restricts user's access to modify a peripheral setting like GPS, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth®, etc. The system allows only the desired applications to run and no other application is visible on the device. If the user tries to access an unallowed application through any means, it is immediately terminated. Computing device peripheral settings are locked down to desired value so that the users cannot change the settings. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332031 | SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A wearable computing device includes a device body, a band coupled to the device body, and one or more sensors. The device body includes one or more processors, a memory, and a touch-sensitive display. The processors are operable to authenticate, using the one or more sensors, a user of the device, and communicate with one or more target devices in response to successful authentication of the user. The processors can also authenticate the target devices, and control the target devices in response to successful authentication of the target devices. The sensors may include a camera, and to authenticate the user of the device, the processors may send a request to one or more remote devices requesting display of a pairing visual, receive an image from the camera, determine whether the image comprises valid pairing information, and if so, establish a pairing between the device and the remote devices. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332032 | Electronic Device with Method for Controlling Access to Same - An electronic device is able to alter one or more settings of its imager based on the motion of a user that the device is attempting to authenticate. The electronic device, in one implementation, captures a first set of image data of the user (e.g., a video or still photo of the user), detects motion of the user, alters a setting of the imager based on the motion, captures a second set of image data of the user, and authenticates the user based on the second set of image data. In some implementations, the electronic device has multiple imagers, and activates one or more additional imagers based on the detected motion of the user. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332033 | TWO OR THREE STEP AUTHORIZATION VIA TAPPING - Example methods and systems directed to a Transaction Manager are described. According to various embodiments, the Transaction Manager generates modules and sends modules to various computing devices. The modules, when executed on a computing device(s), cause a computing device(s) to execute various actions described below. Transaction Manager sends modules to a wireless mobile device. Upon executing the modules, the wireless mobile device receives a transaction initiation message and presents an alert upon receipt of the transaction initiation message. The wireless mobile device detects an occurrence of a physical gesture and recognizes the occurrence of the physical gesture as authorization to proceed with a transaction. The wireless mobile device sends a response to the transaction initiation message based on detecting the occurrence of the physical gesture. The response includes a customer identification for the transaction. The customer identification is associated with an account through which the transaction can be fulfilled. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332034 | Spatial Audio Apparatus - An apparatus comprising: an input configured to receive at least one of: at least two audio signals from at least two microphones; and a network setup message; an analyser configured to authenticate at least one user from the input; a determiner configured to determine the position of the at least one user from the input; and an actuator configured to perform an action based on the authentication of the at least one user and/or the position of the at least one user. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332035 | BIOMETRIC DATA DETECTION DEVICE - A biometric data detection device includes a biometric authentication sensor electrically connected to a data processing terminal through a connecting member, a housing that houses the biometric authentication sensor, a window portion that acquires biometric data to be authenticated by the biometric authentication sensor and that is formed in the housing, and an attachment member that is rotatably provided at the housing and that renders the housing rotatable in a state in which the housing is attached to the data processing terminal. | 2015-11-19 |
20150332036 | TOROIDAL FLEXIBLE INPUT DEVICE - A method and/or computer program product receives computer inputs from a toroidal flexible input device. Physical contact between a toroidal flexible input device and a display on a computer is detected. The toroidal flexible input device is authenticated, and a communication session between the toroidal flexible input device and the computer is established. The computer then receives inputs from the toroidal flexible input device while the toroidal flexible input device is in physical contact with the display on the computer. | 2015-11-19 |
