Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for sharing network resources needing an authentication ID for accessing it with a user without having the authentication ID now. SOLUTION: A place holder for providing authority for the network resources 114 is generated in an access list 116; and the place holder is related to a known identifier of a user. When the user 102 acquires the authentication ID to try to access the network resources 114, the authentication ID of the user 102 is stored in the place holder, and authority of the user 102 for the network resources 114 is set. A certain number of checks can be executed before storing the authentication ID in the place holder, and the checks include confirmation of acquisition of the authentication ID from an issuer by the user 102, comparison of the authentication ID of the user 102 trying to access the resources with the authentication ID provided to the user 102 by the issuer, and comparison of the known identifier stored in the place holder with the sign in provided by the user 102.

Abstract:
Authorization of a file on a computer is provided for using a cryptographic hash of the file or other identifier to find one or more content ratings. Content ratings, coupled with source and publisher ratings, are used to evaluate the file against an authorization policy set up by a user, manufacturer, or corporate IT department. Files which are suspect due to low ratings are not authorized to run on the computer. Files for which little information can be found are left to the user to decide whether to authorize. Rating services provide aggregated content ratings based on editorial or user reviews, and index their searchable ratings based on cryptographic hashes of the files being evaluated. Rating services provide allow lists and exclude lists or may provide individual responses to queries containing cryptographic hashes of files.
Abstract:
Provided is a single repository for capturing, connecting, sharing, and visualizing information based on a geographic location, for example. Detailed information of a structure or object information can be displayed on a rooftop or over an area of interest. The detailed information can be provided for a single structure or for each structure shown on a map area. According to an embodiment is a system that facilitates surface overlay and bounding on a map. The system can include a receiver component that receives information for an object, a boundary component that ascertains a perimeter of the object, and a rendering component that selectively displays the object information and object on a map based in part on a user perspective.
Abstract:
Techniques for managing a presentation of information in a gesture-based system, where gestures are derived from a user's body position or motion in the physical space, may enable a user to use gestures to control the manner in which the information is presented or to otherwise interact with the gesture-based system. A user may present information to an audience to an audience using gestures that control aspects of the system, or multiple users may work together using gestures to control aspects of the system. Thus, in an example embodiment, a single user can control the presentation of information to the audience via gestures. In another example embodiment, multiple participants can share control of the presentation via gestures captured by a capture device or otherwise interact with the system to control aspects of the presentation.
