摘要:
A federation system operating in a first enterprise includes a configuration server and a database for creating and storing federation configuration data and a federation registrar having an interface for dealing with a second enterprise seeking to federate. In the system the second enterprise connects to the federation registrar, negotiation takes place concerning details of federation, agreement is reached, configuration is stored in the configuration database, and the second enterprise is then coupled to the first enterprise through a pair of federation proxy interfaces, one at the first enterprise and one at the second enterprise, the proxy interfaces configured by details of the federation.

A system and method for tracking a downloaded digital media file which employs reheader splicing of the digit media file for digital rights management (DRM) are provided. The system and method provide for receiving a request for a first file from a client (302), accessing the first file and a second file that is representative of the first file (304), applying data identifying the client into the second file (306), and combining the first and second file such that a size of the combined file is substantially the same size as the accessed first file (310), and downloading the combined first and second file to the client (312). The combining of the first and second file includes replacing corresponding object components of the first file with the objects components of the second file. The data identifying the client includes at least one of a transaction ID, merchant ID, user ID and order ID.
摘要:
A brand protection feature reader and/or writer instrument (6) that is adapted to perform a pre-determined number of operations, for example authentication of a brand protection feature, and prevent subsequent operations from being performed if the pre-determined number of operations is exceeded. A counter (70) may be provided for counting the number of operations performed, thereby to determine if the pre-determined number of operations is exceeded.
摘要:
Method and system for developing and marketing valuable products, advertisements, games and other creative realizations. The present invention relies on participants collectively taking stakes in the development of these realizations. Using databases of intellectual capital items, a promoter requests participant contributions that explore desired outcomes by relying on their knowledge and insights while evaluating, proposing or rating alternative items or making selections from proposed alternatives. Compilations, based on participants' contributions, are prepared by sorting and reassembling alternatives using valuation criteria. The intellectual capital valuation mechanism resembles collaborative auctions however, value is created by the adaptive and predictive ability of the present invention to coordinate submissions of knowledge and collective insights and to evaluate relative levels of insightfulness of intellectual capital contributions. Participants are offered contribution related rights as incentives. Participants are compensated according to the relative level of insightfulness of their contributions by timely exercising or selling these rights.

A control device (301) comprising control means (606) for controlling a reproducing device (302) to reproduce multimedia data is provided. The control device (301) also comprises receiving means (612) for receiving, from the reproducing device (302), a request to acquire permission data, which is contained in a permission server (304), said permission data enabling reproduction of the multimedia data, and said request comprising location information that indicates a location of the permission data and authentication information of the reproducing device (302), acquiring means (614) for acquiring the permission data from the location indicated by the location information, said acquiring means (614) sending the authentication information to the permission server (304), and sending means (616) for sending the permission data to the reproducing device (302).
摘要:
The present invention provides systems and methods for secure transaction management and electronic rights protection. Electronic appliances such as computers equipped in accordance with the present invention help to ensure that information is accessed and used only in authorized ways, and maintain the integrity, availability, and/or confidentiality of the information. Such electronic appliances provide a distributed virtual distribution environment (VDE) that may enforce a secure chain of handling and control, for example, to control and/or meter or otherwise monitor use of electronically stored or disseminated information. Such a virtual distribution environment may be used to protect rights of various participants in electronic commerce and other electronic or electronic-facilitated transactions. Distributed and other operating systems, environments and architectures, such as, for example, those using tamper-resistant hardware-based processors, may establish security at each node. These techniques may be used to support an all-electronic information distribution, for example, the utilizing the "electronic higher".

A system for managing patent and trademark application data via the Internet, comprising matter, task, and security modules. The matter module is operable to manage data such as docketing data relating to patent matters (303), the tasks module manage tasks related to patenting matters (301) and the security module restricts access to tasks and patenting matters to selected system users.
摘要:
Usage rights for a digital work are established prior to creation of the corresponding content. The rights can be associated with the content after the content is created. A content creation, such as a video recorder or a still camera, device can store labels of the rights and can associate usage rights with content in real time as the content is created.
摘要:
There is provided a system for regulating access and managing distribution of content in a network, such as the Internet. The system includes communication gateways, installed at a subscriber site, internet control points, installed remotely, and various network elements installed throughout the network. The communication gateways and network elements operate in conjunction with the internet control points to restrict or allow access to specified Internet sites and to manage efficient distribution of content such as music, video, games, broadband data, real-time audio and voice applications, and software to subscribers.
