International Classification:

H04L009/00
G06F011/30
G06F015/173
G06F015/16

US Classification:

713201, 713182, 713186, 709229

Abstract:

A method of on-line authentication includes having a user present one or more fingerprints for authentication during an on-line transaction, such as an Internet transaction. The user provides the fingerprints by placing the appropriate finger on the print pad of the fingerprint reader associated with the client computer that the user is using. The method includes receiving through the computer network a communication indicating that authentication is needed, obtaining a first number that indicates how many fingerprints will be requested for authentication, randomly selecting which fingerprints will be requested, sending through the computer network one or more requests for entry of the randomly selected fingerprints, receiving fingerprint data through the computer network in response to the one or more requests for entry of the randomly selected fingerprints, and comparing the received fingerprint data to fingerprint data stored in a database.

International Classification:

G06F 15/18

US Classification:

706 14, 706 46, 706 12

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method and system for recommending electronic component connectivity configurations and marketing information to users of certain electronic equipment based upon information received from the user. The method includes providing a user interface display containing data representing a group of predetermined user-selectable electronic components, receiving data representing a user-selected subset of electronic components from the group of predetermined user-selectable electronic components, retrieving from a database attributes associated with each component of the subset of electronic components, comparing the subset of electronic components with the associated attributes to determine an appropriate component configuration, and presenting data representing the electronic component configuration to the user.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/219000, 709/203000

Abstract:

Registration of a communication device with a website is provided via a back end server connected directly to an ISP, and bypassing load balanced front end server that are providing the computing power to run a website. Also, required data can be retrieved upon a system crash by directly contacting the website via a direct dial-up connection. After an initial contact is made, further communications are performed directly between an ISP and a back end server associated with the website. In this way, resources for meeting user's requests are not compromised when other users wish to register for, or otherwise use, the features of the website.

US Classification:

725/014000, 725/022000, 725/015000

Abstract:

An input device for use in a system for searching a database for information associated with segments broadcast on a broadcast channel, in which the database may have a list of segments broadcast on different broadcast channels at respective times. The input device comprises a receiving circuit operable to receive channel information representing one or more broadcast channels, a channel selector operable to enable a user to select a broadcast channel from among the received channel information which corresponds to a received broadcast channel, a timer which provides time information representative of a current time, a storage device that stores at least the time information and the selected channel information, and a transmitting circuit operable to transmit the stored time information and channel information. The transmitted time information and channel information may be supplied to an external device which causes the database to be searched to select the information associated with the respective segment that was broadcast on the respective broadcast channel at a time corresponding to the time information.
