摘要:
An RFID Probe comprises a pole with a plurality of sensors that indicate RF signal strength attached at regular intervals and marked to indicate distance from an end of the pole. A user employs the RFID Probe by placing the probe between densely packed materials, such as cases on a pallet, and exposing the RFID Probe and packaging to a signal from a RIFD transceiver. After exposing the RFID Probe to the RFID transceiver signal, the user removes the RFID Probe from the packed materials and observes the sensors on the probe. By noting the location on the probe of the sensors indicating low or no RF signal, the user can identify locations where RF signal strength is insufficient to activate an RFID tag.

The invention provides a method, system, and program product for encrypting information. In one embodiment, the invention includes prompting a user for a password associated with a digital signature certificate stored in a digital pen, capturing a handwritten password made using the digital pen, displaying to the user the captured password, and encrypting information entered using the digital pen using the captured password. In some embodiments, the password may be captured from a predefined field on a digital page.

The enhanced power supply adds a control circuit and rechargeable battery to the prior art transformer. The enhanced power supply uses an internal rechargeable battery in standby mode, so that the power supply does not draw AC power when the attached device is not in use. Control contacts on the power supply receptacle act as a communication channel allowing the attached device to power requirements to the power supply. The power supply has the ability to detect the power draw and switch between power modes, even when there is no communication with the attached device.

The Automatic RFID Tuner has one or more RF repeaters that can travel in the x, y and z axes through a densely packed pallet of goods. The RF repeater identifies dead spots where RF signals from an RFID transceiver do not penetrate the dense packaging. The RF repeater calculates a position that ensures the RF signal will reach all passive RFID tags in the dense packaging. The RF repeater moves to the calculated position so that the RFID transceiver's signal will read all passive RFID tags in the dense packaging.

The invention provides a method and system for sharing collaborative data among a plurality of authors using one or a plurality of digital pens. In one embodiment, the invention includes recording information entered by a first author using a digital pen and a substrate; and recording information entered by a second author using a digital pen and a substrate, wherein recording information includes: marking a start flag; recording an identity of an author; recording information entered after the start flag; and marking a stop flag.

A method for notifying one or more users of an in-network call, the method comprising: providing each of the one or more users with one or more transmitting/receiving devices, each of the one or more transmitting/receiving devices having a display screen; allowing a first user of the one or more users to call a second user of the one or more users; determining a service provider of the first user; determining a service provider of the second user; determining whether the service provider of the first user matches the service provider of the second user; and automatically notifying the first user and the second user of the in-network call when it is determined that the service provider of the first user matches the service provider of the second user.
摘要:
The “identity authentication program” (IAP) creates a custom set of authentication questions in response to a user request to have a user password reset. The IAP accesses a record located in a data source containing information related to the user's recent computer activity and generates an authentication question and a corresponding answer based on the record. In order to reset a user password, the user must correctly answer a designated number of questions from the custom set of authentication questions. In a preferred embodiment, the IAP bases authentication questions on recent e-mail messages sent by the user. Because the questions are generated at the time of the user's request, the answers are unique and can not be memorized. Because the questions are based on recent activities of the user, the questions are hard to guess by an unauthorized person.

Systems, methods, media, and apparatuses for disabling camera functionality in a portable device are disclosed. Embodiments of the method may include establishing a connection with a camera-enabled portable device and transmitting to the portable device a request for permission to disable camera functionality. Embodiments of the method may also include receiving a response from the portable device relating to permission to disable camera functionality. Further embodiments of the method may include, in response to receiving permission to disable camera functionality, transmitting to the portable device a command to disable camera functionality or, in response to receiving an indication that the user refused permission, displaying a notification message. The command to disable camera functionality may include a command to disable camera functionality for a prescribed period, while the portable device is located within a secure geographical location, partially or fully disable camera functionality, and/or other methodology.

Radio frequency identification is used in cooperation with the computer system aboard a motor vehicle to track service and maintenance activities relating to the vehicle. Each component or part of the vehicle that may require maintenance is provided with a unique passive identification tag. The output data from the tag is read by a reader placed in proximity to the tag, and the data is transmitted to an on-board computer module where it is processed, and the service record is updated. A data stream converter may be used to process the information read by the reader into a format that is acceptable to the on-board computer. The data from the on-board computer is stored in a device external to the computer. Provisions are included for notification to the user, the auto dealer or service other agency as needed.
