Content items or portions of content items are made available for previewing according to various techniques. In some techniques, designated portions of content items are transmitted in plaintext, while the remaining portions are transmitted in encrypted form. In other techniques, an entire content item is transmitted in encrypted form. However, content keys for decrypting the content item may be transmitted in plaintext form for certain portions designated for previewing and in encrypted form for the remaining portions. Also, an entire content item may be transmitted in encrypted form. Similarly the content keys for decrypting the content item is transmitted in encrypted form. However, preview rights keys for decrypting the content keys may be transmitted. These rights keys have associated usage rules that limit their use.

The present invention provides methods, apparatuses, and systems for delivering protected multi-media content to a receiving device. Protected multi-media content and key information are inserted in a same time slice burst. Multi-media content is processed into content datagrams, in which each content datagram is associated with a corresponding component. Key information may be processed as a keystream with key datagrams or may be included in one or more components. A content datagram may be encrypted with an associated key. A receiving device receives the time slice burst with the content datagrams and the key information. The receiving device subsequently decrypts the content datagrams with the key information. Key datagrams may be associated with a higher priority level than content datagrams. Consequently, a receiving device can process a key datagram in order to extract a key before routing associated content datagrams to a message stack.

The present invention provides methods, apparatuses, and systems for delivering protected multimedia content to a receiving device. Portions of protected multi-media content and associated key information are inserted in a same time slice burst. Multi-media content is processed into a plurality of content datagrams, in which each content datagram is associated with a corresponding component. Key information may be processed as a keystream that is logically separate from the components. A content datagram may be encrypted with an associated key. A receiving device receives the time slice burst with the plurality of content datagrams and associated key datagrams of the keystream. The receiving device consequently decrypts the plurality of content datagrams. Also, key information may be processed as key datagrams that are included with at least one component, in which each component comprises an associated plurality of content datagrams.

A short-range transaction system enables a user to conduct transactions with a self-service terminal in a user-friendly environment without using currency. The user carries a portable smart card, which interacts with a mobile phone. After authentication via an RFID connection, the device MAC address and a security key (K) are imprinted in the card. In operation, the user waves the smart card past the self-service terminal and activates an RFID connection. The terminal sends the card a random number. The card returns the MAC address and a result (RES) computed using the hash value and the security key. The terminal using the MAC address and security key establishes a secure connection with the device. The terminal downloads the user's transaction interface from the device and displays the user interface at the self-service terminal. The user completes a transaction at the terminal via the user interface.

A computer system, method, and computer program product for performing device detection and service discovery in a mobile ad hoc communications network. The method comprises conducting an inquiry of the mobile ad hoc communications network to discover nearby devices. If the inquiry indicates that the nearby devices may include a middleware layer, the method further comprises creating a connection to each of the nearby devices and confirming whether each of the nearby devices include the middleware layer. For each of the nearby devices that include the middleware layer, the method further comprises executing the middleware layer to perform application and service discovery, and to launch applications and services.

The invention relates to the control of billing in a communications network. In order to achieve the free placement of billing information coupled with a minimum amount of modifications for standard servers, a proxy/gateway is used for detecting the resource requests related to chargeable resources, and for mapping the resource identifier of a chargeable resource, received in a resource request, to a locator referring to the pricing information relating to said chargeable resource. The pricing information is then retrieved from the address indicated by the locator, and the billing is initiated using the information retrieved.
