Patent number: 7603563Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: September 14, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Steven T. Ansell, Andrew R. Cherenson, Leon Rishniw, Susan A. Cannon, Edward J. Allard, Jason S. Brownell, Micah Stroud

Patent number: 7363096Abstract: 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: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Philip R. Wiser, Leeann Heringer, Gerry Kearby, Leon Rishniw, Jason S. Brownell
