An adaptive spoofing method includes: causing a first display device to display a spoof representation of a human user; and obtaining multiple images of the spoof representation. The multiple images are captured automatically by an image capture device, each of the multiple images captures a different corresponding configuration of the spoof representation displayed on the first display device. The method also includes: executing a biometric authentication process separately on each of at least a subset of the multiple images; determining that the biometric authentication process authenticates the human user based on at least a first image from the subset; and identifying a configuration of the spoof representation corresponding to the first image as a failure condition associated with the biometric authentication process.

Automated adaptive displayed spoofing

An adaptive spoofing method includes obtaining multiple images of a spoof representation of a human user. The multiple images are captured automatically by an image capture device, and each of the multiple images is captured at a different relative position between the image capture device and the spoof representation. The method also includes: executing a biometric authentication process separately on each of at least a subset of the multiple images; determining that the biometric authentication process authenticates the human user based on at least a first image from the subset; and identifying a relative position between the image capture device and the spoof representation corresponding to the first image as a failure condition associated with the biometric authentication process.

Automated positional adaptive spoofing

An image transformation method includes: causing a first display device to display one or more calibration patterns. One or more first images include a corresponding calibration pattern of the one or more calibration patterns. The one or more first images are captured by an image capture device disposed at a non-zero capture angle with respect to the first display device. The method also includes determining based on the one or more first images, a transformation to be applied to account for the non-zero capture angle; obtaining a second image of a human user; applying the transformation to the second image to generate a transformed spoof representation of the human user for capture by the image capture device being held at the non-zero capture angle with respect to the first display device; and causing the first display device to display the transformed spoof representation.

A biometric template created at a user device is divided into portions that are distributed among members of a trusted circle and, optionally, a remote storage service. When the user associated with the biometric template attempts to reauthenticate on a different user device, live identity information is captured and transmitted to trusted circle members. The members confirm the identity of the user and provide the biometric template portions to the different device for reconstruction of the original template. The user can then biometrically reauthenticate using the reconstructed template.

In a packet-switched network, a subscribing application subscribes to a network presence server to receive selected network presence information. The network presence server obtains the selected network presence information, at least in part, from status messages that a network access server, such as a packet data serving node (PDSN), sends, for example, to an accounting server. The network presence server then provides the selected network presence information to the subscribing application. The selected network presence information may include an identification of a particular customer that has just initiated or terminated a data session and the network address the particular customer is or was using.

Method and system for network presence notification

The present invention discloses a method of dynamically updating configuration files in a customer premises telecommunications hub. The hub includes a configuration file update module. During initialization, every system module which uses parameters in the configuration file registers with the update module. While the hub is operating, a new configuration file is sent to the IP address of the hub and written into flash memory by the update module. The update module calls a check function in the registered modules which check to see if the new parameters can be changed dynamically. If they can, the update module calls an update function in all registered modules which then change their parameters to those set by the new configuration file. If any module needs a parameter change which cannot be made dynamically, the update module calls for a system reset or reboot.

The present invention discloses a method of automatically downloading configuration files and binary code for a customer premises telecommunications hub. Upon initial power up, the hub sends a DHCP request to a DHCP server. The DHCP server sends the hub an IP address for the hub, the name of an appropriate configuration file, and identifies file servers where files may be obtained. The hub requests the configuration file from a TFTP file server, and obtains a binary file name. The hub renames the file to include its model ID. The hub then requests the renamed binary file from a TFTP file server. The binary code is downloaded and written into flash memory. The file is rechecked for the correct model ID. The hub then resets so that the new binary code is transferred into the operating RAM.

Integrated services hub reboot process

The present invention discloses a method of automatically downloading configuration files and binary code for a customer premises telecommunications hub. Upon initial power up, the hub sends a DHCP request to the central office DHCP server. The DHCP server sends to the hub an IP address for the hub, the name of an appropriate configuration file, the domain name of a configuration file server and an IP address of a domain name server. The hub requests the IP address of the configuration file server from the domain name server. It then requests the configuration file from the configuration file server, downloads the file and parses it. The hub then requests the binary file named in the configuration file from the configuration file server. The binary code is downloaded and written into flash memory. The hub then resets so that the new binary code is transferred into the operating RAM.

A communication network comprises a service layer, layer interface, and network layer to dynamically set-up a connection for a session. The service layer receives and processes a service request for a user system to generate and transfer a connection request. The connection request includes a connection identifier to correlate the connection with the session. The service-to-network layer interface receives and processes the connection request to generate and transfer the signaling messages that include the connection identifier. The network layer receives the signaling messages, and in response, dynamically establishes the connection. The connection is comprised of three segments that are established concurrently by the network layer.
