A selector daemon can run in the background of a computer. Applications that are capable of processing information cards directly, without requiring the use of a card selector, can request the selector daemon to list information cards that satisfy security policy. Upon receiving such a request, selector daemon can determine the information cards available on the computer that satisfy the security policy, and can identify these information cards to the requesting application. The applications can then use the identified information cards in any manner desired, without having to use a card selector: for example, by requesting a security token based on one of the information cards directly from an identity provider.

The user can associate metadata with information cards. The metadata can include, among other possibilities, string names, icons, user policies, containers, and hierarchies. The metadata is stored by the computer system. The metadata can then be used to filter the set of information cards that can satisfy a security policy from a relying party.

Disclosed is a user-centered mobile internet identity managing and identifying method. User identity agency which is in charge of managing user identity information is set on a mobile platform by the method. An identity information card of a user can be created by the user through the user identity agency. Identity information can also be issued by a trusted third party through request and management of the user identity agency. The identity information of the user is shown in the form of a virtual card. The identity information of the user is managed by the user, and the user only needs to submit essential identity information needed by a website to the website. The submission of the identity information of the user needs to acquire authorization of the user, and therefore the user-centered characteristic and characteristic of user controlled identity information are shown in identity management. Identity authentication is conducted through a public and private key when the user needs to register or login on the website, and no longer relies on the identity authentication method of username/password. If a repeater (RP) is provided with a legal digital certificate, the digital certificate of the RP can be checked through the user identity agency by the system, and therefore phishing is prevented.

A computer system accesses metadata about an information card. The metadata can be stored locally or remotely (for example, at an identity provider). A metadata engine can be used to generate data to be provided to the user from the metadata: this data can take any desired form, such as an advertisement, a state of the user's account, or a policy update, among other possibilities.

An electronic information card for retrieving information pertaining to a banking account of a user is disclosed. The electronic information card comprises a casing having a front surface and a rear surface, a payment chip and a memory chip located inside the casing, a touch keypad located on the front surface, a display screen located on the front surface and an activate button located on the front surface. The payment chip initiates transaction between the user and the transaction terminal. The memory chip allows the user to access financial services such as checking account balance, checking monthly expenses, checking transaction information in an offline mode by navigating through the touch keypad. The display screen displays information pertaining to the banking account when a user navigates through the touch keypad. The electronic information card provides an enhanced security to the user while making online transactions.

A client can store information about federation points. A federation point is a combination of an identifier of an account on a relying party and an identifier of an information card. The client can track which information cards are included n various federation points, and can use this information to assist the user in performing a transaction with relying parties.

A user desires to select information about himself. The system uses policies applicable to the display of the user's information and metadata about the user and the information to determine modified presentations of the user's information. The modified information can include visual and non-visual cues (such as aural, olfactory, or tactile). The system then displays the modified information, presenting the user with the visual and non-visual cues about the information.

A scanning capability for capacitive touch screen devices is disclosed. Images, such as text, barcodes, or the like are printed on printed objects, such as business cards, information cards, and the like using electrically conductive ink that has had electrical properties imparted thereon such that, when the printed object comes in contact with the touch screen of a capacitive touch screen device, the imparted electrical properties are sufficient to cause variances in capacitance to the touch screen that are detectable by the device. Using these detected touches, the scanning system analyzes any patterns created by the detected touches to determine information represented by those patterns and corresponding to the information represented by the images printed on the printed object.

The invention relates to an answer sheet identification method, which comprises the following steps: dynamically filtering and obtaining a colorful image of an answer sheet; carrying out gray processing to the image; judging whether a gray image is the processing of a "black" image; carrying out local threshold value binarization processing; looking up to process a convex quadrangle on a binary image, wherein the convex quadrangle has a maximum area and is more than a certain threshold value, and four inner corners of the convex quadrangle are similar to straight angles; carrying out inclination and perspective distortion correction processing; intercepting a rectangular area, and carrying out normalized image processing; identifying student numbers; identifying test paper numbers; and identifying answers. Due to the portability of a mobile terminal, a research that a mobile terminal camera is used for scanning an answer sheet and a relevant algorithm is used for identifying becomes very meaningful, the working efficiency of a teacher can be obviously improved, and the answer sheet identification method is helpful for teaching work. The answer sheet identification method also can be used for reference into the identification statistical processing of information cards, such as questionnaires, votes and the like, and has a wide application value.

A client includes a card selector, and receives a security policy from a relying party. If the client does not have an information card that can satisfy the security policy, the client can define a virtual information card, either from the security policy or by augmenting an existing information card. The client can also use a local security policy that controls how and when a virtual information card is defined. The virtual information card can then be used to generate a security token to satisfy the security policy.

An accessor function interfaces among a client, a relying party, and an identity provider. The identity provider can “manage” personal (i.e., self-asserted) information cards on behalf of a user, making the personal information cards available on clients on which the personal information cards are not installed. The client can be an untrusted client, vulnerable to attacks such as key logging, screen capture, and memory interrogation. The accessor function can also asked as a proxy for the relying party in terms of invoking and using the information cards system, for use with legacy relying parties.
