Systems and methods involving a user authentication system for granting access to digital systems and content, computing systems and devices and physical locations. The authentication system granting access to digital systems and content involves a mobile device, a computing device and a server. The authentication system granting access to computing systems and devices and physical locations involves a mobile device, an interface device, a secure system and a server. The authentication systems described permit a user to access digital systems and content, computing systems and devices and physical locations using only the user's mobile device. The mobile device runs mobile application that performs the authentication functionality using biometric data obtained on the mobile device. The authentication data is stored on the mobile device in an encrypted format and is not shared with the other devices in the authentication system.

Method and system for performing user authentication

The present invention describes the user authentication system comprising of multiple levels of security which is used to authorize the user. The system uses more than one levels of authentication process which receives the credentials from the user and authorizes them to allow access to the IoT devices which are used by the user. The connected devices represent individual targets, for the cyber-criminals whowould hack the devices to retrieve the secure information of the users. Such insecurities about the IoT devices and the system are eliminated by using the multiple level user authentication system which is described in the present invention.

Multi-level user device authentication system for internet of things (IOT)

The present invention is a user credentials' storage and management system installed on the local network consisting of a secured depository of usernames and passwords which can be locally/remotely accessed only by the user after authentication. The user account contains all user credentials' which are stored in a device connected to local network. The user credentials' are stored in a device, which can be accessed by the user via WiFi/Ethernet/etc. The server provides the first level of authentication which connects the user post authentication by computing device to the storage device. The user has to run the required web page, after which the application accesses the user credentials' account, extracts the login credentials and automatically fills or can be manually filled in the appropriate fields. In the case of accessing multiple accounts, then the user credentials; can be copy-pasted from them account and can terminate the session.

A method and an apparatus are provided for initiating rotation of blades of a wind turbine when wind speed is less than a cut-in speed. A solar powered wind turbine apparatus includes a solar dome with photovoltaic cells, operably connected to a rotor assembly, and an electric motor. The photovoltaic cells convert solar energy from incident sunlight into electrical energy. The electric motor electrically connected to the photovoltaic cells rotates the blades of the rotor assembly using the electrical energy from the photovoltaic cells. The electric motor powered by the photovoltaic cells initiates the rotation of the blades of the rotor assembly when wind speed is less than the cut-in speed, and therefore reduces or eliminates the cut-in speed required to rotate the blades. The blades of the rotor assembly thereafter continue to rotate in response to a force of wind on the blades and/or the powered electric motor.

Apparatus and methods are provided for subsidizing Internet access through advertising using a &ldquo;portal provider&rdquo; that supplies a &ldquo;mini-portal&rdquo; to the users of selected Internet service providers (ISPs). The mini-portal includes communications hardware, for connecting to the Internet, and display software, for displaying advertisements or other messages from local non-volatile storage during idle time, such as when the user's computer is connecting to the Internet. Advertisers are sold access to display their advertisements through the display software, and the revenue thus generated may be used to subsidize providing the mini-portal and Internet access fees. A validation mechanism is provided wherein a validation server operated by the portal provider sends data to the mini-portal that helps keep the advertisements current, and gives the portal provider an ongoing role in providing advertisements to mini-portal users.

Methods and apparatus for delivering targeted information and advertising over the internet

A plug-in card for use with a personal computer is disclosed, which provides a combination of a modem, a network interface, and a network hub. The card permits the personal computer to share a single connection to a wide area network, such as the Internet with other computers which are connected to the network hub on the card. Integration of a modem, network interface, and network hub onto a single plug-in card provides cost savings, and improved ease of setup and use.

Integrated apparatus for interfacing several computers to the internet

A data communication device is provided that can be connected to a host computer to add communications capabilities to the host. The data communication device contains a user-programmable multi-channel pager/e-mail receiver that has both numeric and alphanumeric capabilities and a modem. Further, the data communication device may be used with the host as a telephone set or a telephone answering machine. When the device is used as a telephone answering machine and a user desires to retrieve stored messages, the local telephone office is prevented from placing a fast busy signal on the telephone line. The user can update the firmware of the data communication device, or it can be updated remotely by downloading a new firmware version using the pager/e-mail receiver.

Data communication device

Circuitry and methods are provided for a standardized serial interface. The interface uses auxiliary port connector pin of a device conforming to the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) standard as a serial bus. Protocols are provided that allow a host computer to selectively connect to and communicate with either the PCMCIA based device or with devices connected to the serial bus. The circuitry and protocols support a daisy-chain of multiple devices from a single PCMCIA based device.

Method and apparatus for implementing a PCMCIA auxiliary port connector

A system and methods are provided for displaying and processing communications via a variety of communications media using a personal computer. Messages received either wirelessly, for example, wireless e-mail, or over telephone wireline, such as voice mail or facsimile, are segregated and presented for review by the subscriber according to whether the originator is within a select group of routinely contacted individuals and also by type of media. The system includes a graphical user interface to provide an intuitive and efficient message processing capability. In alternative embodiments the apparatus and methods are self-documenting and facilitate communication to the system manufacturer.

Group-oriented communications user interface

A computer peripheral is provided that combines the functionality of multiple devices, for example, a pager, a facsimile machine, and a data modem. The computer peripheral is designed as one or more separable modules, or functional components, including a module for interfacing the peripheral to a host computer. At least one of the functional components can be operated either as part of the computer peripheral, or may be separated from the remainder of the computer peripheral and used as a self contained functional module.
