A user can provide input to a device in a 2-dimensional manner (such as by entering the data using a stylus or finger to apply pressure to a touchscreen) or in a 3-dimensional manner (such as by moving the device in 3-dimensional space). While the user input is being received, biometric data in the form of accelerometer data is collected. The accelerometer data indicates an amount of force applied in each of one or more directions over time. The collected accelerometer data thus provides an indication of the manner in which the device was moved, whether intentionally or unintentionally, while the user input was being received. The collected accelerometer data can be used in various manners, such as to verify the user input, as a signature of the user, as an authentication value to access a service or device, and so forth.

Accelerometer-based biometric data

A method and apparatus for provisioning a mobile application that is related to a desktop software application comprising capturing a code using a mobile device, where the desktop software application generates and displays the code for capture by the mobile device; decrypting the code using the mobile device; validating the code; validating a user based on the code; and enabling functionality of the mobile application for use by the mobile device based on the validation of the user.

Method and apparatus for provisioning a mobile application

A graphical user interface allows a user to create an image having a pop-up menu which is exportable to a target computer without the creating user being required to know how to program in JAVASCRIPT&#x2122;. Using menu selection in the application in which the image is running, the creating user may insert a pop-up menu instruction associated with an object and positioned at a desired location within the image. The inserted pop-up menu instruction then causes the creating computer to invoke its own routines that construct an exportable JAVASCRIPT&#x2122; file that allows for a pop-up menu associated with the desired object to be displayed on the screen of a target system.

Graphical insertion of JavaScript pop-up menus

A system for intuitively associating behaviors with objects. The script or code defining those behaviors may then be automatically generated. The generated script or code is downloadable to a client system. The intuitiveness may involve gestures, such as dragging and dropping, between a source object and itself or between a source object and a destination object, that preferably assigns a behavioral association with objects without the requirement of knowing any specific programming or scripting language.
