Abstract: A vehicle data privacy mechanism comprising a first port, a second port and a processor. The first port configured to connect to an on-board diagnostic system. The second port configured to connect to a monitor, the monitor originally configured to connect to the on-board diagnostic port. The processor configured to: generate managed data configured to appear as if it originates from the on-board diagnostic system; and send the managed data to the second port.

Abstract: A content distribution system and method which prevents unauthorized access to secured content such as movies and music. The system includes a source, a receiver, an authorized security device such as a conditional access module (CAM) for decrypting authorized content and an output device for outputting content. The system can also include a backend for managing accounts and system operations. One aspect of this invention is that the content data is derived from the Internet. The system allows for the verification of authorization to play secured content, the addition of watermarks to the secured content, the conversion of the secured content to a displayable form and the means for preventing output of the secured content.

Abstract: Disclosed is a secure remote repeater. The secure repeater includes a first remote control signal detector, a remote control signal processor and an emitter. Among other functions, the secure repeater can forward secure remote signals to an electronic device using non-secure commands native to that electronic device. Additionally, the secure remote repeater can filter remote signal chatter.

Abstract: The present invention is a system for securing broadcasting content locally at receiving stations that may be remote to a broadcaster. Embodiments of this invention implement controllable and renewable security measures, compatible with many other content processing and display systems. These security measures may include re-encrypting received broadcast content using locally generated keys, watermarking the received broadcast content, and logging both processing and display of broadcast content.

Abstract: A visual copyright protection system is disclosed, including input content, a disruption processor, and output content. The disruption processor inserts disruptive content to the input content creating output content that impedes the ability of optical recording devices to make useful copies of output content.

Abstract: A camera-projection device combines internal display and external projection of images in a portable electronic imaging device, such as a digital camera, a digital camcorder, a cell phone or a PDA. The same light source may be shared between an internal display and external projection and may be located internal or external to the camera-projection device. The same lens, such as a liquid lens, may be employed in image capture and image projection. The same display device may also be shared for internal display and external projection of the images.

Abstract: A content distribution system and method which prevents unauthorized access to secured content such as movies and music. The apparatus includes a source, a receiver, an authorized security device such as a conditional access module (CAM) for decrypting authorized content, an output device for outputting content and a backend for managing accounts and system operations. One aspect of this invention provides a mechanism for providing secured content on a medium such as a DVD optical disc. These devices may verify that there is authorization to play the secured content, add watermarks to the secured content, convert the secured content to a displayable form and provide a means for preventing output of the secured content.

Abstract: A transport packet generation apparatus and method used in a system which delivers content such as movies and music is disclosed. This invention provides a mechanism for providing and retrieving content on a medium such as a DVD optical disc. One aspect of the present invention provides content by processing and packing data packets onto the medium. A further aspect of the present invention retrieves content by reading data off the medium and processing the data to functionally reconstruct the original data packets for use in the system for delivering content.
