Abstract:
A first computing device monitors a presence of a second computing device, and determines when the second computing device has moved out of an area proximate to the first computing device. In response to determining that the second computer moved out of the area, the first computing device is automatically configured to limit user interaction with one or more applications currently operating on the first computing device to a predetermined set of commands while preventing user interaction with other applications provided by the first computing device.
Abstract:
A system and computer-implemented method including receiving a request from a service provider, at a central account manager, to provide a user account for a user logging into the first service provider, identifying one or more user accounts associated with the user at one or more user account providers maintained at the central account manager, selecting a first user account of the one or more user accounts and providing, using the one or more computing devices, the selected first user account to the first service provider in response to the request.
Abstract:
An automated system for signing up users invited to join a site based on their existing identity includes an invitation generator, an invite processor, a federated authentication module, a user information retrieval module, an account population and creation module, and a user interface module. The automated sign up module is responsive to an invite request. The automated sign up module sends an authorization request, receives the authorization response, verifies the response and retrieves user data. The automated sign up module uses the retrieved data to populate a sign up form and initialize an account. The automated sign up module sends new account information to a user for confirmation. Once confirmation has been received, the automated sign up module creates the new account and allows the user to access the system. The present disclosure includes a method for signing up users invited to join a site based on their existing identity.
Abstract:
A system and method for enabling, on any website, a unified user login that supports login through multiple known identity providers and, if necessary, the website's legacy login are disclosed. In one example, the system comprises a login receiver module, an identity provider determination module, a legacy account module, a federated account module and a login module. The login receiver module receives a login request associated with a user identifier. The identity provider determination module determines whether the login request is associated with a known identity provider. The legacy account module performs legacy account creation and/or legacy login verification when the address is not associated with any known identity provider. Otherwise, the federated account module performs federated account creation and/or federated login verification. The login module logs the user into the account responsive to one or more of verification and account creation.
Abstract:
A system and computer-implemented method including receiving a request from a first service provider, at a central account manager, to provide a user account for a user logging into a first service provider, identifying one or more user accounts at one or more service providers other than the first service provider associated with the user maintained at the central account manager, providing the one or more user accounts for display to the user, receiving a selection of a first user account of the one or more user accounts and providing the selected first user account to the first service provider in response to the request.
