An example manager device includes processing circuitry; and a storage device that stores instructions executable by the processing circuitry to: obtain usage data from a plurality of devices, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is associated with one or more device types of a plurality of device types, and wherein each device type of the plurality of device types specifies a usage behavior; store common information based on the usage data; store device type features for a device type based on the usage data corresponding to one or more devices of the plurality of devices associated with the device type; determine a provisioning device type for a first device; determine configuration information for provisioning the first device based on stored device type features associated with the provisioning device type and the common information; and provision the first device based on the configuration information.

Provisioning computing devices

A method for performing an action associated with a motion based input. the method comprises: measuring, using a motion sensor of a computing device, motion data representing a detected motion of the computing device; measuring, using a proximity sensor of the computing device, proximity data representing a proximity of the computing device to an object over a duration of the detected motion; matching the measured motion data and measured proximity data to a gesture based on the detected motion and the proximity of the computing device to the object over the duration of the detected motion; and in response to matching the measured motion data and measured proximity data to the gesture, performing an action associated with the gesture.

Performing an action associated with a motion based input

A method of operation and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided for a mobile communications device which includes memory storing program instructions and a processor coupled to a first input that passively collects input data and a second input that collects response data based on a challenge. A statistical behavioral model is generated based upon passively collected input data for the user. A level of assurance (LOA) is determined based upon the statistical behavioral model and the passively collected input data from the first input. The LOA is compared with a threshold and based on the comparison: the mobile device operation is enabled as a result of determining that the LOA meets or exceeds the threshold without requiring response data from the at least one second input, otherwise, the challenge is generated and the mobile device operation is enabled responsive to valid response data from the second input.

Mobile communications device providing heuristic security authentication features and related methods

A method implemented by a computing device having a memory and a motion sensor detection sensor is disclosed. The memory stores an input model associated with a gesture input. The method includes detecting a motion of the computing device; matching the detected motion with the input model; and determining a confidence level associated with the match. If the confidence level is above a pre-determined threshold, an action associated with the gesture input is performed automatically by the processor; and if the confidence level is below the pre-determined threshold, the action is performed by the processor responsive to receiving a positive confirmation of the gesture input.

A mobile communications device includes a plurality of first input devices capable of passively collecting input data, a second input device(s) capable of collecting response data based upon a challenge, and a processor capable of determining a level of assurance (LOA) that possession of the mobile communications device has not changed based upon a statistical behavioral model and the passively received input data, and comparing the LOA with a security threshold. When the LOA is above the security threshold, the processor may be capable of performing a given mobile device operation without requiring response data from the second input device(s). When the LOA falls below the security threshold, the processor may be capable of generating the challenge, performing the given mobile device operation responsive to valid response data, and adding recent input data to the statistical behavioral model responsive to receipt of the valid response data.

Systems and methods are provided for sharing a network interface between operating systems in an embedded device. A host operating system provides a network bridge. First and second operating systems provide first and second respective shared network interfaces connected to the bridge. A first external network interface is linked to the first shared network interface via a control client. The first external network interface is shared with the second operating system.

Message corrections are effected on a user electronic device using a touch-based user interface. In response to user input in a messaging application input field indicating that a replacement or correction operation is to be carried out, the device identifies multiple strings corresponding to the correction in at least one previous message sent by the messaging application. These strings are presented in context in a user interface in a visually distinguished manner, such as highlighting. The strings may be presented with replacement text. The user then confirms which strings are to be corrected by touch input at the location of the string in the user interface. In response to the touch input, the previous message is updated with the desired changes. The updated message can then be sent to a recipient. The user interface can be used in find and replace or spellcheck operations in an editing or composition application.

Message correction and updating system and method, and associated user interface operation

A method and mobile transceiver providing container security is described. In accordance with one aspect, there is provided a method of operating a mobile transceiver comprising a processor, memory, wireless transceiver and radiation detector. The method comprises detecting, by the radiation detector, radiation emitted from a radioactive emitter. The radiation detector and the radioactive emitter are arranged such that a substantially constant rate of radiation from the radioactive emitter is detected when one or more doors of the shipping container are closed. When the detected radiation is outside a tolerance of the constant rate, the processor wakes up the processor from a low power mode, and updates an asset tracking log stored in the memory by adding a record representing a door open event.
