20090006856 | ADAPTIVE AUTHENTICATION SOLUTION THAT REWARDS ALMOST CORRECT PASSWORDS AND THAT SIMULATES ACCESS FOR INCORRECT PASSWORDS - In the invention, incorrect authentication information for accessing at least one secured computing asset can be received. A similarity score between the incorrect authentication information and correct authentication information can be determined. One of many different access levels can be assigned to a computing session based upon the similarity score. Access consistent with the assigned access level can be granted. One access level can be an emulation access level that grants access to at least one simulated asset designed to mimic the secured asset. Access to the simulated asset can be provided in a fashion so that a user, who is likely an intruder, is unaware that they are not receiving the secured asset information. A tracking action can he optionally initiated against the intruder. Further, user behavior with the simulated session or a limited access session can be compared against a behavior profile to dynamically increase or decrease session permissions. | 01-01-2009 |

20130226925 | INTELLIGENT PRODUCT FEEDBACK ANALYTICS TOOL - A method for improving the usability of product feedback data can begin with the receipt of product feedback search parameters by an intelligent product feedback analytics tool. The product feedback search parameters can represent a product or a group of products. Product feedback search results having a rating value and/or textual feedback content can be obtained for the product feedback search parameters. For each product in the search results, a composite rating value can be synthesized from the rating values contained in the search results. For each product in the search results, the product feedback search results can be analyzed for analytic parameters using natural language processing techniques. An analytic parameter can represent a commonality within a subset of the search results. The product feedback search results, composite rating values, and analytic parameters can be presented within a user interface, providing context for the composite rating value. | 08-29-2013 |

20140245182 | PROVIDING TARGETED MESSAGES VIA A SOCIAL MEDIA SYSTEM WHILE CONCEALING TIES TO THE MESSAGE SOURCE - A method for electronically providing targeted messages can begin when a source-concealing targeted messaging system receives data items provided by a source user that define a targeted message that is to be presented within a social media context. The data items can include a set of recipients, a message body, and a set of trigger conditions indicating when the targeted message is to be presented to the recipients. The recipients can be members of a contact list of the source user within the social media system providing the social media context. Satisfaction of the trigger conditions can be monitored and the social media system can be monitored recipients. When the trigger conditions are satisfied and a recipient is currently using the social media system, the targeted message can be presented within a user interface of the social media system, such that the source user appears unaffiliated with the targeted message. | 08-28-2014 |
20140329211 | PROVIDING LOCATION-RELEVANT GOAL FULFILLMENT RECOMMENDATIONS WHILE INSIDE A NON-RESIDENTIAL LOCATION - A method for providing location-relevant goal fulfillment messages to a mobile device can begin with a location-based goal coaching system receiving location data for a mobile device. When inside a non-residential location, a proximate area map for the mobile device can be dynamically generated using the received location data. The proximate area map can express a position of the mobile device within the non-residential location and points of interest or items within a predefined radius of the mobile device. Elements of the proximate area map that are relevant to a goal expressed in a previously defined user-specific goal profile can be identified. For each goal having a relevant identified element, a goal fulfillment recommendation can be created. The goal fulfillment recommendation can then be conveyed to the mobile device, making the user aware of the nearby presence of the item or point of interest and its relationship to the goal. | 11-06-2014 |
20150019373 | PROVIDING A CONSUMER ADVOCATE RECOMMENDATION UTILIZING HISTORIC PURCHASING DATA - A good selected by a shopper within a commerce session can be identified. The commerce session can be associated with a provider. The provider can be associated with a product and/or a service. The commerce session can be associated with an e-commerce Web site and a physical retail site. Historic purchase data associated with the good can be determined. The historic purchase data can be associated with the shopper. A purchase pattern for the good can be established based on at least one of the historic purchase data and a personalization profile. The personalization profile can include a user preference and/or an event data associated with an event. The event can affect the future purchasing behavior of the shopper. A recommendation based on the purchase pattern can be provided. The recommendation can benefit the purchasing behavior of the shopper. | 01-15-2015 |
