Patent number: 11775949Abstract: A licensing system and related methods are described utilizing aspects of distributed ledger technologies to facilitate trusted and verifiable licensing transactions for creative works. A client device can include an asset editing tool for incorporating an asset selected from a plurality of licensable assets into a new creative work. The selected asset can be downloaded for incorporation into the new creative work. The new creative work incorporating the selected asset can be analyzed to determine an amount that the selected asset contributed to the new creative work, or an amount that the new creative work is attributable to the selected asset.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Xuejun Xu, Morgan David De Lossy, Max Gray Edell

Patent number: 11632238Abstract: Embodiments provide traceability of edits to a document, i.e., a verifiable and immutable provenance chain for the document. Systems and methods enable traceability of edits, by encoding, for states of the document, a fingerprint (e.g., a cryptographic hash of the document's contents) and an edit history within a block written to a distributed ledger (e.g., a blockchain). The ledger is maintained via a self-organizing peer-to-peer distributed ledger network. Once added to the ledger, the contents of a block (e.g., the document's fingerprint and edit history) are immutable and the integrity of the edit history encoded in the ledger is secure. The algorithm that generates the fingerprint is sensitive to edits of the document. The non-corruptible fingerprint encoded in the ledger is employable to detect any edits that are not included in the encoded edit history and/or inconsistent with a currently available version of the document.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Gavin Stuart Peter Miller, Xuejun Xu, Max Gray Edell, John Bevil Bates, Matthew Keith Albright

Patent number: 11308629Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for training a neural network to track viewer engagement with a non-interactive display. Sensor data is obtained from one or more sensors, such as cameras, associated with a display device, and once a face is detected within the sensor data, a display sequence is initiated. The display sequence includes at least a first frame with a first visual feature and a second frame with a second visual feature. Using the sensor data obtained during presentation of the display sequence, viewer engagement with the sequence is tracked by determining eye movements and/or head movements. The detected eye movement and/or head movement is used to determine whether the person was actively engaged with the display sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Max Gray Edell, David E.

Patent number: 10902274Abstract: In implementations of opting-in or opting-out of visual tracking, a computing device maintains digital images received for scanning, and includes an image scanning system that receives a digital image depicting one or more faces of persons captured in the digital image. The image scanning system is implemented to detect a face of a person who is depicted in the digital image from a scan of the digital image. The image scanning system can then scan the digital image for a visual tracking identifier that indicates a preference of the person for one of opting-in or opting-out of visual tracking. The image scanning system can detect the visual tracking identifier associated with the person from the scan of the digital image, and continue or discontinue the visual tracking of the person based on the visual tracking identifier indicating that the person opt-in or opts-out of visual tracking.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: David Eldridge Benge, Max Gray Edell

Publication number: 20200162266Abstract: Embodiments provide traceability of edits to a document, i.e., a verifiable and immutable provenance chain for the document. In particular, embodiments facilitate providing analytics services for a distributed ledger. In implementation, a unique identifier associated with a digital document can be received from a remote computing device. Based on the received unique identifier, it is determined that the distributed ledger includes a first transaction corresponding to a first transitioned state of the digital document and a second transaction corresponding to a second transitioned state of the digital document. Each transaction includes the unique identifier, a first fingerprint of the digital document generated at a first time of a transitioned state, and a second fingerprint of the digital document generated at a second time of a previously transitioned state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Gavin Stuart Peter Miller, Xuejun Xu, Max Gray Edell, John Bevil Bates
