20110035593 | ESTABLISHING SECURE MUTUAL TRUST USING AN INSECURE PASSWORD - A process for establishing secure mutual trust includes generating a one-time-password. The one-time-password is transferred between the devices in a communication occurring off of the network. Each device generates a set of authenticators by hashing a plurality of sub-strings of the password and the device's authentication certificate with a respective set of nonces. The devices exchange the respective sets of authenticators. Each device then alternates revealing its respective set of nonces and its authentication certificate in a multi-stage process. The devices re-calculate the authenticators based upon the respective set of nonces and authentication certificate revealed by the other device along with the one-time-password sub-strings that it posses. If each device determines that the authenticators re-calculated by the given device matches the authenticators previously received from the other device, secure mutual trust is established. | 02-10-2011 |
20110264773 | SIMPLE AND DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF NETWORK DEVICES - The present invention relates to a system and method for configuring and managing network devices. The arrival (and departure) of devices on a network can be detected by a monitor. Upon detection, network devices can be simply and dynamically configured with little or no end-user intervention, for instance by automatically loading device drivers and allocating resources for the devices. Furthermore, network devices can be associated with other network devices such as a personal computer to facilitate seamless integration of network devices with a computer operating system. | 10-27-2011 |

20110304649 | CHARACTER SELECTION - Character selection techniques are described. In implementations, a list of characters is output for display in a user interface by a computing device. An input is recognized, by the computing device, that was detected using a camera as a gesture to select at least one of the characters. | 12-15-2011 |
20120042246 | CONTENT GESTURES - Content gestures are described. In implementations, one or more controls are output to control output of content and for display in a user interface by a computing device. An input is recognized, by the computing device, which was detected using a camera as a gesture to interact with a particular one of the controls to control the output of the content. | 02-16-2012 |
20130321566 | AUDIO SOURCE POSITIONING USING A CAMERA - Audio source positioning technique embodiments are presented that are employed in a video teleconference or telepresence session between a local site and one or more remote sites. Each of these sites has one participant, and a virtual scene is constructed and displayed at each site that depicts each of the participants from the other sites in the constructed scene. However, rather than simply playing audio captured at the other site or sites in the viewing participant's site, audio source positioning is used to make it seem to a participant viewing a rendering of the virtual scene that the voice of another participant is emanating from a location on the display device where the remote participant is depicted. | 12-05-2013 |
20150206446 | AUTHORING, SHARING, AND CONSUMPTION OF ONLINE COURSES - Technologies are described herein for authoring, sharing, and consuming online courses. A lesson creation extension executing in conjunction with a presentation application can be utilized to create an augmented presentation document having one or more slides. A video recording of a presentation of the slides may be made and associated with the slides. Digital ink made on the slides may also be recorded. The slides might also be created to include quizzes, interactive labs, and other types of interactive content. The augmented presentation document can then be published to a portal system for sharing. A lesson player can be utilized to play back the lesson from the portal system. During playback, the recorded audio, video and digital ink are played back in synchronization by the lesson player. | 07-23-2015 |
