摘要： A method for processing an image such as a computer wallpaper identifies a characteristic color representative of the image. Image pixels with similar colors are separated into groups, and the average value of the R,G,B color components in each group is determined, after filtering out pixels with R,G,B values representing white, black, or grey. The group with the maximum difference between the highest average color component value and the lowest average color component value is identified as the characteristic color. Groups representing a number of pixels less than a certain percentage of all of the pixels are not considered. The characteristic color can be used in other displayed images at an intensity α determined by setting maximum and minimum values of α, with α being the lesser of αmax and αmin plus the average color span of all pixels in the image.

摘要： A secure authentication channel (SAC) between two nodes in a communication network is created by the nodes themselves using mutual authentication. The network has two nodes, a coordinating entity, two PKI-based SACs, and one non-PKI SAC which is created by the two nodes and is for use by the nodes. The coordinating entity generates a master key which is transmitted to two nodes via a PKI-based SAC established between the coordinating entity and each of the two nodes. One node uses the master key to generate a first random number and the second node uses the key to generate a second random number. The second node also has an encrypted third random number. The network also has a third SAC, which is not solely based on PKI, between the first node and the second node and is created when the two nodes have authenticated each other. The mutual authentication process occurs without the intervention of the coordinating entity.

摘要翻译： 在通信网络中的两个节点之间的安全认证信道（SAC）由节点本身使用相互认证来创建。 网络具有两个节点，一个协调实体，两个基于PKI的SAC，以及由两个节点创建并由节点使用的一个非PKI SAC。 协调实体生成主密钥，该密钥通过在协调实体和两个节点中的每一个之间建立的基于PKI的SAC传送到两个节点。 一个节点使用主密钥生成第一个随机数，第二个节点使用该密钥来生成第二个随机数。 第二个节点也有一个加密的第三个随机数。 网络还具有第三SAC，其不仅仅是基于PKI，在第一节点和第二节点之间，并且当两个节点彼此认证时被创建。 相互认证过程发生在没有协调实体的干预的情况下。

摘要： Methods and systems of rendering content on a device having a native digital rights management (DRM) system are described. A device, such as an end-user device capable of executing or playing content, acquires content in a common content format file having standardized locations for specific types of data. A generic digital rights token associated with the content is obtained by utilizing one of the standardized locations in the content format file, where the rights token contains information sufficient to allow retrieval of the rights associated with the content. Utilizing data in another of the standardized locations, it is then determined whether the device is registered in a domain. A license server directory may be accessed utilizing data in another of the standardized locations in the common content format file and a domain identifier, a device identifier, or both are transmitted to the license server directory. A native DRM system trigger is received and, upon activation of the trigger, a native DRM license is acquired, thereby enabling rendering of the content in the common content format file on the device.

摘要： A user playing a media file having ads on a playback device is able to automatically skip the ads during playback depending on the user's subscription level, as indicated in a user license or user account information. Whether an ad is automatically skipped may depend not only on the user license but also on attributes of the ad. An ad may have a skip-level which indicates the “importance” of the ad. If the advertiser wants to ensure that the ad will be seen and not be automatically skipped by a media playback unit, it can pay a higher price for the ad and the ad will be assigned a higher skip-level value. On the user subscription side, a user who wants to avoid ads may pay a higher subscription fee and have a user license that determines, via an auto-skip level value (“user level”), how many ads the user can automatically skip during playback of the media file. With a higher the auto-skip level value, the user is able to automatically skip more ads on the playback device.
