US Patent:

7484173, Jan 27, 2009

Filed:

Oct 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/252513

Inventors:

Jie Jenie Gao - Sugar Land TX, US
Charles Ray Johns - Austin TX, US
Michael Fan Wang - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715741, 715773

Abstract:

A method for providing an alternate keypad arrangement in a virtual keypad is presented. In the alternate keypad arrangement, the virtual keys are laid out in a non-sequential arrangement. In one embodiment, the labels displayed on the virtual keys appear sequential, however the values registered when the user presses the virtual key does not match the label and, hence, the values are laid out in a non-sequential manner. Using alternate keypad arrangements arranged in patterns enables the user to use a common pattern, or patterns easily remembered by the user, for a wide variety of authentication data used to access a wide variety of systems. Rather than remembering the specific PIN codes and passwords, the user simply remembers a pattern and selects virtual keys that match the pattern.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing content presentation. In one aspect, a system includes a training database that stores training data including attribute information about users and corresponding proxy metrics quantifying behavior by the users following content presentation; a content database; a model generator that accesses the training data and trains a model for content distribution; and a content distribution server that receives a content request, uses the model to select content, transmits data identifying the selected content, wherein the model: obtains a set of attributes for a user associated with the request, receives information about a given content, predicts a proxy metric based on the set of attributes and the information about the content, the predicted proxy metric providing information about subject retention or awareness; and identifies the given content for distribution if the predicted proxy metrics meet a threshold.
