20100192209 | PASSIVE SECURITY ENFORCEMENT - Technology is described for enabling passive enforcement of security at computing systems. A component of a computing system can passively authenticate or authorize a user based on observations of the user's interactions with the computing system. The technology may increase or decrease an authentication or authorization level based on the observations. The level can indicate what level of access the user should be granted. When the user or a component of the computing device initiates a request, an application or service can determine whether the level is sufficient to satisfy the request. If the level is insufficient, the application or service can prompt the user for credentials so that the user is actively authenticated. The technology may enable computing systems to “trust” authentication so that two proximate devices can share authentication levels. | 07-29-2010 |
20100192230 | PROTECTING TRANSACTIONS - Technology is described for protecting transactions. The technology may include a switching component that a user can employ to switch an associated mobile device into a secure mode so that a user can confirm the transaction. After initiating a transaction request, the user can confirm the transaction request by activating the switching component, which can cause the mobile device to switch into a secure mode. In the secure mode, the mobile device may prevent the mobile device from conducting various normal activities, such as executing applications, receiving input, providing output, and so forth. The switching component may disable other processing temporarily. Upon receiving the confirmation from the user, the switching component may send a confirmation communication to complete the transaction. | 07-29-2010 |
20120158943 | Augmenting Personal Availability Using a Mobile Device - An online presence may be augmented by leveraging mobile computing device sensors in a mobile computing device. State change and/or rate of change data measured by the mobile computing device sensors may be received. The state change and/or rate of change data may be compared with a set of rules to determine a matching online presence state for the mobile computing device. The set of rules may describe different online presence states associated with a user of the mobile computing device. A current online presence associated with the user of the mobile computing device may then be updated to the matching online presence state. | 06-21-2012 |
20120166437 | Generating Maps of Private Spaces Using Mobile Computing Device Sensors - Digital maps of private spaces may be implemented using mobile computing device sensors. Sensor data may be received from one or more mobile computing devices to determine a digital signature describing a private space. Scheduling data may also be received from the one or more mobile devices. The scheduling data may describe a location associated with the private space to be mapped. A digital map of the private space may then be generated from the digital signature and the location associated with the private space in the scheduling data. | 06-28-2012 |
20140089463 | Dynamic Utilization of Condensing Metadata - Dynamic utilization of condensing metadata is enabled by condensing information being communicated to/from a mobile device. The communication exchange occurs between a mobile device and an internet service, and it involves a mobile internet service proxy. The information is condensed or compressed responsive to condensing metadata and uncondensed or uncompressed using the condensing metadata. The mobile internet service proxy may provide condensing metadata to the mobile device. This condensing metadata may be provided to the mobile device so that condensed data may be communicated at least between the mobile device and the mobile internet service proxy. In some instances, the mobile device may request that information be compressed and receive compressed information as a result. The mobile device may then utilize the condensing metadata to uncompress data provided from the internet service and/or the mobile internet service proxy. | 03-27-2014 |

20140375542 | ADJUSTING A NEAR-EYE DISPLAY DEVICE - Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to aligning a near-eye display of a near-eye display device with an eye of a user. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides, on a near-eye display device, a method comprising receiving an image of an eye from a camera via a reverse display optical path, detecting a location of the eye in the image, and determining a relative position of the eye with regard to a target viewing position of the near-eye display. The method further comprises determining an adjustment to make to the near-eye display device to align the location of the eye with the target viewing position. | 12-25-2014 |
20140375681 | ACTIVE BINOCULAR ALIGNMENT FOR NEAR EYE DISPLAYS - A system and method are disclosed for detecting angular displacement of a display element relative to a reference position on a head mounted display device for presenting a mixed reality or virtual reality experience. Once the displacement is detected, it may be corrected for to maintain the proper binocular disparity of virtual images displayed to the left and right display elements of the head mounted display device. In one example, the detection system uses an optical assembly including collimated LEDs and a camera which together are insensitive to linear displacement. Such a system provides a true measure of angular displacement of one or both display elements on the head mounted display device. | 12-25-2014 |
20140375790 | EYE-TRACKING SYSTEM FOR HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY - Embodiments are disclosed for a see-through head-mounted display system. In one embodiment, the see-through head-mounted display system comprises a freeform prism, and a display device configured to emit display light through the freeform prism to an eye of a user. The see-through head-mounted display system may also comprise an imaging device having an entrance pupil positioned at a back focal plane of the freeform prism, the imaging device configured to receive gaze-detection light reflected from the eye and directed through the freeform prism. | 12-25-2014 |
20150035744 | NEAR-EYE OPTIC POSITIONING IN DISPLAY DEVICES - Embodiments are disclosed for adjusting alignment of a near-eye optic of a see-through head-mounted display system. In one embodiment, a method of detecting eye location for a head-mounted display system includes directing positioning light to an eye of a user and detecting the positioning light reflected from the eye of the user. The method further includes determining a distance between the eye and a near-eye optic of the head-mounted display system based on attributes of the detected positioning light, and providing feedback for adjusting the distance between the eye and the near-eye optic. | 02-05-2015 |
20150193658 | Enhanced Photo And Video Taking Using Gaze Tracking - When a user takes a photograph or video of a scene with an image capture device, such as computing device having a camera, a point of interest in the scene is determined. The computing device includes an eye tracker to output a gaze vector of a user's eye viewing the scene through a view finder that indicates a point of interest in the scene. Selected operation may then be performed based on the determined point of interest in the scene. An amount of exposure used to capture the image may be selected based on the point of interest. Zooming or adjusting the field of view through a view finder may be anchored at the point of interest, and the image through the view finder may be zoomed about the point of interest, before the image is captured. Image enhancing effects may be performed about the point of interest. | 07-09-2015 |
