  • Patent number: 9135411
    Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) apparatus and a DRM method are disclosed. The DRM apparatus includes a DRM packer, a DRM object database, a distribution manager, a tracking recording unit, and an index controller. The DRM packager generates M content objects according to a digital content and outputs M DRM objects. The DRM object database stores the M DRM objects. The distribution manager selects N DRM objects according to request information from a client. M and N are positive integers, and N is less than M. The index controller controls the distribution manager to transmit N content objects to the client according to the tracking record, index information, a control rule, and a rights datum.

  • Patent number: 9053322
    Abstract: A computing environment security method is provided. The method includes: a) dissolving an application package to be tested to obtain at least one data set, wherein each data set corresponds to contents with respect to one of a plurality of aspects of the application package; and b) evaluating whether the application package is a repackaged application according to the at least one data set. Step (b) includes: c) for each data set, analyzing a characteristic relationship of the contents with respect to the aspect corresponding to the data set to accordingly generate characteristic data for the data set; and d) determining whether the application package to be tested is a repackaged application package according to the characteristic data of the at least one data set and a search result obtained from a database, wherein the search result corresponds to the characteristic data within a corresponding distance.

  • Publication number: 20130145175
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for enciphering/deciphering digital rights management object are provided. The DRM enciphering method includes the following steps: A plurality of content objects which are divided from a digital content are received. A plurality of DRM vectors are generated according to tacit information between the DRM enciphering apparatus and the DRM deciphering apparatus. The content objects are respectively enciphered according to the DRM vectors to generate a plurality of DRM objects.

  • Publication number: 20090162598
    Abstract: The insulated core structure of a plate is composed of at least one insulated core layer and the surface layer connecting to the outside of the insulated core layer. The insulated core layer is made of a convex core plate and the covering plate connecting to the outside of the convex core plate, which is plate or thin shell plate with an interval concave part. The surface is glued to the exterior surface of covering plate of the insulated core layer with adhesive. The materials can be light and hard fiberglass reinforced plastics, so that the weight of plate can be reduced greatly, the plates being much lighter and easier to handle. In addition, the multi-rig edge conformation of the convex core plate brings about optimal structural support strength, and the plate is provided with light weight and practical durability with sufficient stiffness.

  • Publication number: 20070061464
    Abstract: A system for providing differentiated service by using category/resource scheduling and the method thereof are provided. The system and the method are mainly used in the Internet environment, and apply computer executable programs executed at relay points or in a servo system to schedule the processes of external requests according to classified categories of and resources consumed by the external requests when the servo system receives the external requests from the Internet. The time points when individual external requests are released to the servo system to be processed are determined by the category weight corresponding to each external request, the proportion of resource consumed by each external request, and the capacity of available resources in the servo system.

  • Patent number: 6694062
    Abstract: A device and method of correcting a scanned image generated by a scanner for eliminating dark lines. The scanner is driven to scan a calibration paper. Using the scan data, a plurality of base scan data corresponding to various positions of a scanning line are calculated by averaging the scan data at the same position. Further, a plurality of reference scan data corresponding to various positions of the scanning line are calculated in response to the base scan data with a numerical processing procedure, such as the left-/right-reference algorithm or the curve approximation algorithm. The difference between the base scan data and their corresponding reference scan data is compared with a defect level to mark the defect positions. Finally, the output of the scanned image sensed by the image scanner is corrected by using the defect information, thereby eliminating dark lines.
