20140201282 | Network-based quick connect meeting service - A network-accessible service enables participating end users to collaborate with one another over a network. End users have computing devices that include hardware and software to enable the device to access a network. The service provides a publicly-available site or a local software application from which a first participating user initiates a “meeting,” e.g., by selecting a “share” button. In response, the site or software application provides an HTTP link that includes a “meeting” code, which may be a one-time unique code. The first participating user then shares the link with whomever he or she desires to collaborate. Upon receiving the link, a second participating user joins the meeting “on-the-fly” by simply selecting the link or navigating to the site and entering the “meeting” code. The service connects the second participating user to the meeting immediately and without requiring any registration, software download, or the like. | 07-17-2014 |
20130167221 | Motion-based authentication for a gesture-based computing device - A motion-based authentication method is operative in a mobile computing device having a display interface and that includes an accelerometer. Normally, the device software includes a locking mechanism that automatically locks the display interface after a configurable timeout. The authentication method operates to un-lock the display interface (and thus allow the user access to the device) by movement of the device in a predetermined series of physical movements and without display-based entry of a password or other access code on the display itself. In this manner, the user can un-lock the device without display-based entry of a password (on the display itself) by simply holding the device and performing the necessary movement(s) to generate the unique code. | 06-27-2013 |

20130039364 | Server-mediated setup and maintenance of peer-to-peer client computer communications - A method and apparatus for facilitating communication between client computers is provided. The method provides for the use of ping probing by a server to determine the types of NAT devices and/or firewalls protecting the client computers. Once these are determined, the server can predict the response to communications from the client computers and instruct the client computers to contact each other. Once a session or tunnel is established it can be maintained through the use of a flag, even if contact with the server is lost. | 02-14-2013 |
20120117156 | Network-based quick connect meeting service - A network-accessible service enables participating end users to collaborate with one another over a network. End users have computing devices (e.g., computers, mobile phone, tablet devices, or the like) that include hardware and software to enable the device to access a network, such as the public Internet, a Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet, a 3G or higher wireless network connected to the Internet, a private network, or the like. The network-accessible service provides a publicly-available site (such as a Web site) or a local software application from which a first participating end user initiates a “meeting,” e.g., by selecting a “share” button. In response, the site or software application provides an HTTP link that includes a “meeting” code, which may be a one-time unique code. The first participating end user then shares the link with whomever he or she desires to collaborate. Upon receiving the link (e.g., by e-mail, instant message, SMS, MMS, orally, or the like), a second participating end user joins the meeting “on-the-fly” by simply selecting the link or navigating to the site and entering the “meeting” code (in a “join” field). The service connects the second participating end user to the meeting immediately and without requiring any registration, software download, or the like. | 05-10-2012 |
20120096172 | Method and apparatus for remotely controlling a computer with peer-to-peer command and data transfer - A remote access session is established between client and host computers with the assistance of a gateway. The gateway requests the host computer to send a plurality of data packets to different external addresses and monitors the network ports used for these outgoing packets. The gateway then uses the network port information to predict which port the host will use to transmit future outgoing data packets. A similar process is performed on the client computer. The gateway then directs the client computer to send further data packets to the network address and the predicted port of the host computer. Similarly, the host computer is directed to send further data packets to the network address and predicted port of the client computer. The computers are then directly connected together so that further data communications bypass the gateway. | 04-19-2012 |
