Embodiments for rendering content by a processor are provided. A request to render content is received. A score is assigned to each of a plurality of rendering browsers based on a plurality of factors associated with the content and the plurality of rendering browsers, the score used in determining a selection of the rendering browser and weighted according to each of the plurality of factors which include: a security risk of the content, and language support, performance characteristics and a user preference of the plurality of rendering browsers. The selected rendering browser is automatically instantiated and the content is rendered by the selected rendering browser on the computing device.

Systems and methods for rule based dynamic selection of rendering browsers

Improved utilization of spare resources for fuzz testing is provided. A production environment that includes a plurality of running applications having a plurality of user input fields is monitored over a period of time for consumer use. Actual usage data for the plurality of user input fields are determined during the period of time. Each user input field in the plurality of user input fields is ranked for fuzz testing based on, at least in part, the actual usage data corresponding to each respective user input field during the period of time. The fuzz testing is selectively performed on a portion of the plurality of user input fields based on user input field rankings.

Resources usage for fuzz testing applications

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of visually showing how recently a change was made to a document (e.g., using color intensity and/or typeface and/or font and/or emphasis). In various embodiments, systems, methods and computer program products are provided.

Visually showing how recently a change was made to a document by using color intensity and/or typeface and/or font and/or emphasis

Embodiments for rendering content by a processor are provided. A request to render content is received. A rendering browser to render the content on a computing device is selected from a plurality of rendering browsers. The selecting of the rendering browser is based on security information associated with at least one of the content and the plurality of rendering browsers.

Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method for communicating terms of service for providing internet access. The method includes establishing, using a gateway internet service provider (ISP) processor, a private network communications path between the gateway ISP processor and a client processor over a private area network. The method further includes transmitting, using the gateway ISP processor, data over the private network communications path, wherein the data includes terms of service that must be accepted by the client processor as one condition of the gateway ISP processor providing the client processor with internet access.

Communicating information about available networks

An embodiment of the invention includes an interface that receives a user identifier, and a processor that identifies the number of characters in the password for the user identifier. The interface receives input such that the number of characters in the input is greater than the number of characters in the password. The interface can receive additional input such that the number of characters in the additional input is greater than the number of characters in the password. The processor can compare the password to the first X characters of the input, where X equals the number of characters in the password. The processor can compare the password to the last X characters of the additional input. The processor can determine whether to authenticate the user based on the comparison of the password to the first X characters of the input and the last X characters of the additional input.

Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of controlling an electronic device. The method includes detecting, using a processor, a user using one or more sensors. The method further includes selecting one table from a set of tables, wherein each table includes a set of rules to be followed depending on the detecting step. The method further includes measuring changes in a position of the user that are detected by the one or more sensors. The method further includes comparing the changes in the position of the user to one or more rules in the selected table. The method further includes controlling the electronic device based on the comparison.

Controlling devices based on physical gestures

Provided are graphical user interface 'baskets' that hold collections of windows on a large display (or collection (or array) of small displays) and confine respective windows into a particular screen region (that is, basket) as if that screen region (that is, basket) were the entire display. In one example, the basket layout(s) and window layout(s) may be saved. In another example, multiple windows may be organized/managed such that a 'maximize' of a window does not take up the entire large display.

Display screen management system, method and computer program product

A computer implemented method and system for managing browser tabs includes identifying a plurality of URLs (Uniform Resource Locator(s)) in response to detecting the URLs in a web browser running on a computer. The plurality of URLs are organized based on each of the URLs, and each of the plurality of URLs correspond to a tab opened by the web browser. The tabs of the web browser are grouped based on the URLs.

Managing browser tabs based on uniform resource locators

A system and method for automatically reconfiguring a keyboard layout display to facilitate entry of password characters. The system analyzes the password while setting it, and will save a required keyboard layout for each character. A method includes obtaining an encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding characters sequence of a user password, receiving input of a password character and determining whether the character input is correct. If the character entered is correct: decoding the keyboard layout sequence to obtain a correct keyboard layout associated with a next password character to be entered; and automatically displaying the correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered; or if the character entered is not correct: decoding the keyboard layout sequence to obtain one of: a correct or incorrect keyboard layout associated with a next password character to be entered; and automatically displaying the correct or incorrect keyboard layout on the device.

Changing keyboard layout automatically while entering a password

Automatically validating a firewall rule for provisioning in a computer system. One or more firewall rules for provisioning on a server is received from a user device. Based on predefined firewall rules, whether to approve one or more of the firewall rules and deny one or more of the firewall rules is determined. Responsive to determining that one or more of the firewall rules are denied, additional validation of one or more of the firewall rules that are denied are performed. A firewall rule learning engine is updated with a result of the additional validation. Based on the result of the additional validation, the firewall rule learning engine updates the predefined firewall rules. One or more of the firewall rules that are approved on the server may be provisioned.
