| 20090113286 | SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING MIXED-FORMAT FILES - A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided for book marking a combination of frame URLs within a frameset and allowing the sharing on multiple PCs the saved form data that may have been filled in. The system uses an image as a hotspot, containing a complex target destination in the form of an XML structure with multiple URLs for multiple frames as well as captured form data. This system combines file types such as XML and JPG, e.g. as in sample file name ‘MyCapturedFramesAndFormData.XML.JPG’ or ‘MyCapturedFramesAndFormData.XML.GIF’. This combination provides a surprising effect compared to the prior systems, namely, launching the image in an enhanced web browser or in a web browser containing a new plug-in, displays the frame just as it was when saved, including frame set and data input to displayed forms. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090113290 | SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING FRAMES AND FORM DATA - A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided for book marking a combination of frame URLs within a frameset and allowing the sharing on multiple PCs the saved form data that may have been filled in.

| 20090117347 | DISPLAY APPARATUS - A display apparatus that includes a mask layer composed of transparent portions and opaque portions, the mask layer being superimposed over a pattern layer comprising light portions and dark portions. The mask layer can be moved relative to the pattern layer between a first position, whereby certain portions on the pattern layer are selectively obscured, and a second position whereby other portions on the pattern layer are selectively obscured. The mask layer can be moved relative to the second level by the movement of an actuating member coupled thereto as a function of ambient physical conditions. The ambient conditions may include, for example, temperature, pressure, humidity, acidity, voltage, fill level and the like. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090282464 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTHENTICATING AN END USER - A system and associated method for authenticating an end user. The method comprises generating a first mask in response to an authentication request from an end user, the first mask comprising a set of root nodes, a set of server nodes, and a set of client nodes each being unique to the end user. Next, determining the authenticity of the end user based on comparing data received from the end user with nodes contained in the first mask. The data comprising a set of nodes selected by the end user and the end user having selected the data in response to the first mask. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100024004 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING ACCESS TO AN UNSECURE NETWORK UTILIZING A TRANSPARENT IDENTIFICATION MEMBER - A method, system and computer-usable medium for providing secure access to an application over an unsecure network. A transparent identification member can be physically placed by a user against a login interface, the transparent identification member possessing a filter for filtering and displaying a pattern unique to the login interface. Thereafter, the user can be automatically permitted to authenticate an unsecure network and securely access an application over the unsecure network, in response to placing the transparent identification member against the login interface and providing a user input at a physical location on the login interface corresponding to the pattern unique to the login interface, thereby providing a secure authentication for the user to perform secure transactions over the unsecure network and preventing phishing by others with respect to the user and the unsecure network. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100070622 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING SYSTEM LAG TO SEND FACTS TO AN END USER - A method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user. The method begins by monitoring a computer system to identify said system lag. After identifying system lag, the method determines an estimated length of the system lag, the estimated length being a measurement of time. The estimated length takes into account previously identified system lag lengths to better approximate the current system lag length. After determining the estimated length of the system lag, the method sends a fact to the end user during the system lag. The fact sent to the end user has a length equal to or less than the estimated length of the system lag. Finally, the method stores the actual length of the system lag in order to improve subsequent determinations of the estimated length. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100138657 | System and method for authenticating an end user - A method for authenticating an end user. The method starts by generating a first pattern in response to receiving an authentication request from the end user. Next, the method continues by generating a second pattern in response to receiving confirmation that the end user received the first pattern; the second pattern comprising multiple colored nodes. Then the method determines the authenticity status of the end user by comparing data sent by the end user with the second pattern. The end user having generated the data by overlaying a transparent credit card on top of the second pattern and selecting at least one node which displays a color other than black. Finally, the method sends the determined authenticity status to the end user via an output device. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100138912 | System and method for authenticating an end user - A method for authenticating an end user. The method begins by generating a login field in response to receiving an authentication request from an end user. The login field comprises a plurality of colored nodes containing a first subset of nodes matching both color and location to a second subset of nodes residing in a transparent credit card being controlled by the end user. Next the method determines the authenticity status of the end user by comparing data received from the end user with the first subset of nodes. The end user having generated the data by overlaying the transparent credit card on top of the login field and selecting at least one colored node. Each node being selected according to a function utilizing both static and dynamic variables. Finally, the method sends the determined authenticity status to the end user via an output device. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100205547 | CASCADING MENUS FOR REMOTE POPPING - A pop reader of a browser searches HTML code for a webpage with a plurality of links for a first link specified with a first target file name comprising a pop type element. The pop reader, responsive to detecting the first link specified with the first target file name comprising the pop type element, inserts a first command into the HTML code to disable the first link and set an event to pop up a first menu layer of a plurality of layers of a cascading menu and inserts a second command to specify the content of the first menu layer from a file accessed for the first target file name. The browser, responsive to detecting the event, displays the first menu layer with the specified content by the second command within the interface displaying the webpage. | 08-12-2010 |
