Publication number: 20120174006Abstract: A system, method, apparatus and computer program utilize unique algorithms to identify relationships among user generated nodes of data to present an objective and dynamic visual computer model of a socio-cultural “scene.” Users enter information through a user interface, based on uniquely structured taxonomies, and the unique algorithms analyze the input information to identify relationships among the input information and then the identified relationships are presented or displayed in a dynamic graphical format. The “scenes” denote voluntary social groupings of individuals who were in geographical proximity at the same period of time and shared experiences based on an affinity to or involvement with a common cultural experience, not based upon any formal membership in an institution.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2011Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: SCENEMACHINE, LLCInventors: Jason BROWNELL, Matthew ROTHENBERG

Publication number: 20100332483Abstract: An automated method and system configured to pseudo-shuffle a pool of electronic content items in accordance with various criteria so that playback of all or a subset of the items in the user's collection occur in a pseudo-random order. The shuffled content items may be output to a user or transferred to a device. A list of the shuffled content items is built and may be saved for later use for playback on a PC or portable device. In some instances the list is built without output or download of the content items.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicants: SONY CORPORATION, SONY ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventor: Jason Brownell

Publication number: 20100057884Abstract: A file download manager automatically controls how and where downloaded files are stored. A method for use in downloading a file includes establishing communications between a network site and a computer that is visiting the network site, automatically detecting whether a device capable of receiving files is connected to the computer, automatically determining a location in the device where a file may be stored, and automatically downloading a file from the network site to the computer and sending the downloaded file to the device to be stored at the determined location in the device. A computer readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs adapted to cause a processor based system to execute these steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: Jason Brownell, Sherif Tawfik, Steve Ansell, Dan Kinney, Kevin Campbell, Akhilesh Kumar, Thierry Seegers, Jeff J.

Publication number: 20070124580Abstract: To provide improved security in adjunct program modules such as plug-ins and dynamic link libraries, a requesting module provides an authorization interface to the invoked module such that the invoked module can require a certificate of the requesting module and can also challenge the authority of the requesting module. The certificate can include one or more permissions which are prerequisites for processing by the invoked module. The invoked module can challenge the authority of the requesting module by sending random test data to the requesting module and receiving in response a cryptographic signature of the test data. By verifying the signature of the requesting module using the received certificate, the invoked module confirms that the requesting module is, in fact, the owner of the receive certificate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2007Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason Brownell, Steven Ansell, Perry Devine, Earl Levine

Patent number: 7206650Abstract: Essentially all of the processing parameters which control processing of a source audio signal to produce an encoded audio signal are stored in an audio processing profile. Multiple audio processing profiles are stored in a processing profile database such that specific combinations of processing parameters can be retrieved and used at a later time. Audio processing profiles are organized according to specific delivery bandwidths such that a sound engineer can quickly and efficiently encode audio signals for each of a number of distinct delivery media. Synchronized A/B switching during playback of various encoded audio signals allows the sound engineer to detect nuances in the sound characteristics of the various encoded audio signals.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Philip R. Wiser, Leeann Heringer, Gerry Kearby, Jason Brownell, Leon Rishniw

Publication number: 20050033974Abstract: Content such as computer software, data representing audiovisual works, and electronic documents can converted from a machine-bound state to user-bound state without modification to the content data itself. Instead, keys used to access the content are converted from the machine-bound state to the user-bound state. In particular, the keys are kept in a passport data structure which can represent either a machine-binding or a user-binding. A machine-bound passport can be upgraded to a user-bound passport without modifying the bound content. The private key of the machine-bound passport, in cleartext form, is included in the user-bound passport and encrypted using a user-supplied password to bind the private key to the user. In addition, private user information is collected and verified and included in the user-bound passport.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Steven Ansell, Andrew Cherenson, Leon Rishniw, Susan Cannon, Edward Allard, Jason Brownell, Micah Stroud
