Patent number: 9854058Abstract: A third-party profile service based on a proxy server model is described, where a user's profile service resides at a URL, in contrast to a profile service that requires federation identity. A profile service is provided that augments location-based services offered by service providers targeting mobile users via, for example, wireless and Wifi Networks. Additional personalization is driven by identity/profile services. Participants in the scenario are not required to share an identity or profile (i.e., static federation is not required). The user establishes a single profile with a trusted provider, hands-off solicitations to a profile agent that operates on behalf of the user to apply policies and preferences. The agent also provides privacy and anonymity (opaqueness).Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Sreenivasa Rao Gorti, David Patron, Paul VanVleck, Javier B.

Patent number: 9165317Abstract: A dynamic repository (either storing digital data content or pointers to stored digital data content) works in conjunction with a plurality of interfaces to manage digital content and digital rights policies associated with one or more users. Digital rights policies are unique to each user and such policies define access to digital content in the repository. The user's digital rights policy indicates the level of access a user has to digital content in the repository (e.g., the policy could indicate that the user has authorized access to a particular file for a period of seven days). The interfaces linked with the content repository are used to access and manipulate the digital data content (based upon each user's digital rights policy) and the digital rights policies stored in the content repository.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: RAKUTEN, INC.Inventors: Paul F.
