A method including invoking, via an application, a call of a command line utility; providing, via the application, an identifier in the call of the command line utility, where the identifier comprises an operating system controlled memory location; storing output from the command line utility in operating system shared memory at the operating system controlled memory location identified by the identifier; and retrieving, by the application, the command line utility output from the operating system shared memory at the operating system controlled memory location identified by the identifier.

Command line output redirection

A method and system for authenticating a user to access a computer system. The method comprises communicating security information to the computer system, and providing the computer system with an implicit input. The method further comprises determining whether the security information and implicit input match corresponding information associated with the user. The method further comprises granting the user access to the computer system in the event of a satisfactory match. When authenticating the user, the method and system consider the possibility of the user being legitimate but subject to duress or force by a computer hacker.

System and method for controlling user access to an electronic device

Method for controlling user access to an electronic device

In one embodiment the invention provides a method. The method includes invoking, via an application, a call of a command line utility; providing, via the application, an identifier in the call of the command line utility, wherein the identifier comprises an operating system controlled memory location; storing output from the command line utility in operating system shared memory at the operating system controlled memory location identified by the identifier; and retrieving, by the application, the command line utility output from the operating system shared memory at the operating system controlled memory location identified by the identifier.

In one embodiment the invention provides a method to provide command line utility output to an application without the need of temporary files. The method includes receiving an identifier, receiving output from a command line utility, and storing the command line utility output in a system storage at a location identified by the identifier. In one illustrative embodiment, command line utility output is stored in a system registry database. In another illustrative embodiment, command line utility output is stored in a shared system memory. The method may be stored in any media that is readable and executable by a computer system.

A system requires a user to enter a geometric pattern on an interface device to gain access to the system. After the correct geometric pattern is entered, a timer times a duration before an authenticating password is subsequently entered by the user. If the duration exceeds a predetermined length of time, access to a set of one or more files is at least temporarily prevented. If the user enters the authenticating password before the duration exceeds the predetermined length of time, access to the set of one or more files is granted.

A system for creating an on-line book with an animated cover. The system includes an animation program for inserting an animation sequence at the beginning of an on-line book which is compiled into the M14 format. The animation program includes: a user interface module configured to receive input from a user; a data sequencing module which arranges at least two graphical images in a sequence; and an update module which modifies at least one compilation control file. The animation program modifies the control files for an on-line book compiler to provide for the display of an animated object upon the opening of the on-line book.
