CPC Class H04W

The present application relates to authenticating a user of a user equipment (UE). Specifically, the described aspects include presenting for display an authentication pattern on a display of the UE after receiving an input representing a scan of a fingerprint. The authentication pattern may be displayed while the fingerprint sensor continues scanning the finger. Further, the UE may receive a second input representing a removal of the finger from the fingerprint sensor and an authentication pattern characteristic of the authentication pattern. In some aspects, the authentication pattern may be a visual timer, a visual color pattern, and/or a visual shape pattern. The UE may compare the fingerprint scan with a stored fingerprint and the authentication pattern characteristic with a stored authentication pattern characteristic to determine whether to permit the user to access the UE in an unlocked state.

Methods and systems are disclosed including dividing a sensitive geographic region into three or more work regions; selecting geo-referenced aerial images for each particular work region such that at least a portion of the particular work region is depicted; transmitting, without information indicative of the geographic location depicted, a first of the images for a first of the work regions to an operator user device; receiving, from the device, at least one image coordinate selected within the first image by the operator, wherein the image coordinate is a relative coordinate based on a unique pixel location within the image raster content of the first image; and transmitting, without information indicative of the geographic location depicted, a second of the images for a second of the work regions to the operator user device, wherein the first and second work regions are not geographically contiguous.

A system and method for reliably and securely recording and storing all attributes of personal identification, for the identification and authorization of individual identity as well as attributes relating to it and personal data including but not limited to individual's physical description, bank details, travel history, etc. (the “Personally Identifiable Information “PII”). PII can be difficult to manage in networks where correlation between data sources is required. Thus, in some embodiments, the system combines a distributed database to create a framework for a robust security. The system manages the distributed database to associate transactions, or actions, using data, digital signatures, and/or cryptographic keys, which can be unique to an individual.

An electronic shelf label system comprising a plurality of electronic shelf labels is provided. A central computing system transmits data transmissions to the plurality of electronic shelf labels at a first power level. A candidate electronic shelf label from the plurality of electronic shelf labels periodically activate from a sleep mode to identify whether there is an existing master electronic shelf label from the plurality of electronic shelf labels. The candidate electronic shelf label becomes a new master electronic shelf label based on a set of specified conditions to transmit programming instructions received from the central computing system to one or more electronic shelf labels.

A network connected secure system for validating electronic certificate codes. The network connected secure computing system is coupled to a network for access by a plurality of users at a plurality of user devices. The system includes a database to store information including at least user accounts, electronic certificates associated with the user accounts, and electronic certificate codes associated with the electronic certificates. The system also includes a downloadable mobile software application. The system is configured to validate the downloaded mobile software application, provide one or more electronic certificates and one or more electronic certificate codes for display at the user devices.

A cloud-based system for verifying and documenting Class-A fire-protection treatment of a wood-framed building using on-site spraying of a clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid. The system includes (i) a data center with web, application and database servers for supporting a web-based site for hosting images of certificates stamped on spray-treated wood surfaces, and other certification documents, and (ii) mobile smart-phones used to capture digital photographs and video recording of spray-treated wood-framed building sections during the on-site fire-protection spray process, and upload the captured digital images to the data center, for each spray treatment project, so that insurance companies, builders, and other stakeholders can review such on-site spray completion certifications during the building construction phase of the wood-framed building.
