    摘要: Described herein are embodiments that facilitate the streaming of content over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, transparently, in a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment or a non-NAT environment. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for streaming content over an Internet Protocol (IP) network by a content provider having a content control server and a content-streaming server, the method comprising: the content control server receiving a first request from a destination for a content-streaming session; the content control server setting up the content-streaming session in response to the first request; the content-streaming server receiving an upstream message from the destination to establish communication between the content-streaming server and the destination in accordance with the set-up content-streaming session; the content control server receiving a second request to initiate streaming of the content for the set-up content-streaming session; and the content-streaming server streaming the content to the destination in response to the second request.

    摘要: A method enables selected features of a software product residing on an end user electronic device with a license delivered from a licensing provider to a service provider of the end user electronic device. The method includes requesting at least one license to authorize a first service provider. An encrypted installation key uniquely associated with the first service provider is received as well as an authorization agent module for installation on one or more authorization agent devices associated with the first service provider. The encrypted installation key and the authorization agent module are installed on the authorization agent devices. A device-unique identifier (DUID) is generated for each authorization agent device based on hardware characteristics of the respective authorization agent devices. The DUID and the encrypted installation key are sent from the authorization agent device to a licensing provider to obtain the requested license. The requested license is received by the authorization agent devices if the DUID and the encrypted installation key are validated by the licensing provider. The license on authorization agent device authorizes and enables the selected features of the software product on an end user electronic device.

    摘要: Methods for providing content session information using a content manager, streaming server, and one or more watermarking devices are disclosed. A content asset is also disclosed. The content asset may include content. In addition, the content asset may include a content data field having forensic watermark information, e.g. session or identifying information. In one aspect, the content asset is compressed and the compressed content asset has one or more pre-processed candidate watermark locations. In this aspect, the forensic watermark information may be extracted, e.g. by a watermarking device, from the content data field and included in the one or more pre-processed candidate watermark locations.

    摘要: A system enables customers to provision devices with feature licenses that enable specified features in the devices. The system includes a feature definition module configured to store product feature information associated with different products available from a plurality of different manufacturers. The system also includes a feature license management module configured to generate, update and revoke feature licenses. The feature licenses that are generated all have a common format. The system further includes a feature credit management module configured to monitor and account for feature credits available to customer organization units. A user management module is also provided in the system, which is configured to authenticate users of the system. A user interface is accessible over a communications network through which authenticated users can request and receive feature licenses.
