Abstract:
Computationally implemented methods and systems include acquiring an image, wherein said image includes at least one representation of a feature of at least one entity, detecting a presence of a privacy beacon in the acquired image, wherein further image process operation on image data unrelated to detection of the presence of the privacy beacon is avoided prior to encryption of the acquired image data, said privacy beacon associated with the at least one entity, and encrypting the acquired image, through use of a unique device encryption key that is unique to a particular device. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.
Abstract:
Technologies for dynamically implementing an image protection policy include a camera device with a camera to capture an image of at least one person. The camera device determines a location in the image of at least one person in the image, determines a location of at least one personal computing device, and maps the personal computing devices to the persons captured in the image based on the determined device and image locations. The camera device may broadcast an announcement of the creation of the image to the personal computing devices, negotiate an image protection policy with each of the personal computing devices, and implement the negotiated image protection policy.
Abstract:
A method of determining the geographic location of a hardcopy medium having an image side and a non-image side, includes scanning a hardcopy medium to produce a scanned digital image; scanning the non-image side of the hardcopy medium; detecting a location feature from the scan of the non-image side of the hardcopy medium; using the location feature to determine the geographic location of the scanned digital image; and storing the determined geographic location of the scanned digital image.
Abstract:
A portable digital media playback apparatus is preloaded with digital media files for preview. The files may be tagged with information to indicate the user wishes to purchase the digital media file or purchase certain digital rights associated with the digital media file. When the portable device is re-synched with a library of digital media files available for purchase, the files designated for purchase are downloaded to the portable device. In one embodiment, a user profile is created and includes a record of user events relating to the digital media files previewed, deleted or purchased. The content provider adopts a set of criteria for matches and creates a list of additional digital media files that are compatible with the user and which will be pushed down to the portable device the next time that the user synchronizes the device.
Abstract:
This invention includes a reception unit (3) which receives, from a first external device (11), a document having document data for display and transfer original document data as constituent elements, or a document having document data for display and location data of transfer original data as constituent elements, a holding unit (2) which holds the document received by the reception unit (3) in a holding unit (2), a display unit (6) which displays as an image the document data for display of the document received from the reception unit (3), and a transmission unit (3) which transmits data associated with a document selected from the documents displayed on the display unit to a second external unit (20, 21). This arrangement allows acquisition of a desired document from an electronic binder formed from electronic paper or a circular notice.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process of making images or other data from an image capturing device or other data capturing device or a combination thereof available to one or more authorized user, the capturing device having an electronically readable device serial number and cellular Internet communication capability, and (a) providing use information specifying said one or more authorized user of said images or other data, (b) capturing said images or other data and (c) accessing a cellular service provider CSP) or a personal communications service provider (PCSP) with said cellular Internet communication capability for initiating the transmitting of said images or other data to a service provider associated with said device serial number, the process comprising said CSP or PCSP transmitting said prepared images or other data to an application service provider (ASP) associated with said device serial number to enable said ASP to associate said device serial number and said use information to provide to said set of authorized users said images or other data.
