The user device also captures an image of the person's face (e.g., a selfie photo) and compares this image with the extracted photo from the identity document. If the faces match, then the person's identity is verified. The verification of the identity and a related action (e.g., registration of the person, logging into a system, etc.) are authenticated using strong authentication such as Fast Identity Online (FIDO) authentication.

Method, computer program and system for style sheet generation

Device-type-specific XSLT style sheets (or equivalent) are generated from page layout files or ‘presentation skeleton’ files which define a Web page layout including abstract component references that can be mapped to complex, device-specific or repeated style sheet components and are more easily constructed than XSLT style sheets. The presentation skeleton files use and extend existing mark-up languages. One presentation skeleton file can be used to generate XSLT style sheets for many devices that use the same mark-up language. In addition, presentation skeleton files can be produced directly from storyboard files to demonstrate Web sites statically before constructing them for real. This provides a route from initial Web site design to final implementation for multiple output devices.

Static token systems and methods for representing dynamic real credentials

Method of building an adaptive huffman codeword tree

Many compression algorithms require the compressor to generate trees (tables) for encoding purposes. To generate the optimum tree for a set of Huffman symbols either takes too much time or requires too much hardware. This invention proposes to separate the symbols into groups according to the symbol's occurring frequency. With these groups of symbols available, subsequent code length assignment of these groups can be done without a complete sorting of all the symbols and their parents. During code length assignment, some relocation of individual symbols from one group to another can also be performed to optimize the Huffman table. In most of the cases this technique can achieve a compression ratio within 5% of the optimum Huffman table, while requiring less hardware or software overhead.

Toy with a movable figure

Authenticating transactions using a mobile device identifier

Toy with a movable figure

A toy with movable figures in a toy scene. The toy includes a housing, a scene board with a hole in it mounted in the housing and a movable figure loosely suspended in the hole. The upper body of the figure is larger than the hole and an end of the figure projects downwardly through the hole below the scene board. A spring driven motor is mounted in the housing below the scene board and has a shaft projecting upwardly. The housing contains a covering or a case and the winding of the spring is activated by the opening and closing of the case. An eccentric cam is connected to the shaft of the motor and a cam follower plate moves back and forth below the scene board in response to rotation of the cam. A projection, which may be a ramp, on the upper surface of the cam follower plate contacts the lower end of the figure, causing it to move up and down in the hole. There may be several figures with respective holes and respective ramps on the cam follower. The ramps can be aligned in opposite directions so that, on movement of the cam follower in a first direction, only some of the figures rise in their holes while others fall. Additional figures can be connected to the cam follower such that they move back and forth on the scene board in linear motion. The cam follower can project up through the scene board into the body of an animal figure, so that the rotational motion of the cam can be translated to the head or tail of the animal for further and more realistic movement of a figure in the scene.

Shift register engine

A micro-code engine with a linear shift register comprises at least one shift register and an execution unit. The shift registers contain a plurality of data cells, each of which store at least one data value. The shift register is operable to shift the data values from a first data cell to a second data cell as new data is input into the shift register. The execution unit is electrically coupled to the linear shift register such that when the execution unit performs an algorithm, the execution unit uses the data value stored in the second data cell as an operand. After the execution unit substantially completes the algorithm, the linear shift register shifts a new data value into the second data cell. In response to the linear shift register shifting new data into the second data cell, the execution unit re-performs the algorithm.
