US Patent:
6389538, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Oct 22, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/177096
Inventors:
George Gregory Gruse - Lighthouse Point FL
Kenneth Louis Milsted - Boynton Beach FL
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1130
US Classification:
713194, 713168, 713171, 713182, 705 51, 705 57
Abstract:
A system for tracking usage of digital content on user devices. Electronic stores coupled to a network sell licenses to play digital content data to users. Content players, which receive from the network the licensed content data, are used to play the licensed content data. Additionally, a logging site that is coupled to the network tracks the playing of the content data. In particular, the logging site receives play information from the network, and the play information includes the number of times that the content data has been played by the associated content player. Also provided is a method for tracking usage of digital content on user devices. According to the method, a license to play digital content data is sold to a user, and the licensed content data is transmitted to a content player for the user. Further, information is transmitted to a logging site whenever the content data is played by the content player or copied from the content player to an external medium so that usage of the licensed content data can be tracked.

US Patent:
6398245, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Dec 1, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/203307
Inventors:
George Gregory Gruse - Lighthouse Point FL
Marco M. Hurtado - Boca Raton FL
Kenneth Louis Milsted - Boynton Beach FL
Jeffrey B. Lotspiech - San Jose CA
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1700
US Classification:
280228, 705 71, 380203, 713176
Abstract:
A method of managing keys used by a digital content player on a computer system. According to the method, digital content data encrypted with a first encrypting key is decrypted using a first decrypting key, and re-encrypted using a second encrypting key. A second decrypting key is encrypted using a third encrypting key to produce an encrypted second decrypting key. In one preferred method, an encrypted first decrypting key that was encrypted using a fourth encrypting key is received, and the encrypted first decrypting key is decrypted using a fourth decrypting key to reproduce the first decrypting key. A digital content player for use on a computer system is also provided. The content player includes a decrypter that decrypts digital content data, which was encrypted with a first encrypting key, using a first decrypting key so as to produce the content data. An encrypter re-encrypts the content data using a second encrypting key and encrypts a second decrypting key using a third encrypting key. In one preferred content player, a receiver receives an encrypted first decrypting key that was encrypted using a fourth encrypting key, and the decrypter decrypts the encrypted first decrypting key using a fourth decrypting key to reproduce the first decrypting key.

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 50, 380255, 380258, 705 67, 705 71
Abstract:
A method of managing content data and associated metadata. According to the method, the content data and the associated metadata are generated. The content data is transferred to a content host, and the metadata and usage condition data for the associated content are transferred to an electronic store. The metadata and/or the usage condition data are altered in order to form promotional data, and the promotional data is transferred from the electronic store to a customers system. In one preferred method, the content data is encrypted with a first encrypting key before being transferred to the content host. The first encrypting key is encrypted with a second encrypting key, and the encrypted first encrypting key is transferred along with the metadata and usage condition data to the electronic store. Additionally, the encrypted first encrypting key is transferred along with the promotional data to the customers system.

Filed:
Aug 17, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/376102
Inventors:
Marco M. Hurtado - Boca Raton FL
Kenneth L. Milsted - Boynton Beach FL
George G. Gruse - Lighthouse Point FL
Edgar Downs - Ft. Lauderdale FL
Christopher T. Lehman - Delray Beach FL
Richard L. Spagna - Boca Raton FL

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 26, 705 51, 705 76, 705 59, 705 75
Abstract:
A method to delivery encrypted digital content to a end user system for playing the content comprising the steps of: reading from a computer readable medium metadata which has previously associated with the content. A user selects from the metadata associated content to decrypt and the end user system establishes a secure connection with an authorization authority for decrypting the content. The end user system receives a secure container containing the decrypting key for decrypting at least part of the previously encrypted content as permitted. The system creates a secure container using the encrypting key from a clearing house, wherein the secure container has an encrypting key therein from the end user system; transferring the secure container to the clearing house for authentication of permission to decrypt the content. The system receives from the clearing house, a secure container encrypted using the encrypting key of the end user system containing the decrypting key for decrypting at least part of the previously encrypted content stored on the computer readable medium as permitted; and playing at least part of the previously encrypted content by decrypting the secure container using the encrypting key of the end user system to access the decrypting key for decrypting at least part of the encrypted content.

Split And Joint Compressed Audio With Minimum Mismatching And Distortion

View page
US Patent:
6832198, Dec 14, 2004
Filed:
Jun 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/606469
Inventors:
Kha D. Nguyen - Boca Raton FL
Craig Kindell - Delray Beach FL
Kenneth L. Milsted - Boynton Beach FL
Marco M. Hurtado - Boca Raton FL
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G10L 2100
US Classification:
704500, 7042001
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system, computer program product and a method for overlapping boundary data of an audio information track which includes ending data from a previous track and starting data from a succeeding track. By doing this, the ending data from a previous track and the beginning data from a succeeding track are available for the compression process. The compression program then manipulates the additional appended data in order to generate the compressed audio. Later, by severing the overlapping appended additional information before recombining the tracks, the resulting No-Pause CD audio stream is free from distortion and mismatch.
