Abstract: A method of providing localization of content to a client includes accessing content from at least one of: a video, movie, media from a display venue, and media from any public place where a movie or video. A private or public 0-Cinema setup is provided. At least one of: (i) addition of a GPS receiver in a server security manager; addition of a playback authorization license file into the server security manager; and addition of a secured operating workflow is provided. Localization of content at a client selected location is provided.

Abstract: A venue display system provides selected localization of content to a client and includes a server and a processor. The server is configured to provide selected localization of content from at least one of: a venue display; a D-Cinema or alternative content; and at a selected location. A screen management system (SMS) is included as is a venue display management system configured to assist in localization of content at the selected location. A storage device stores content.

Abstract: A system for monitoring constituents of a network is disclosed. The system includes an automation engine in communication with the constituent. Code written in a service description language contains extractable information to permit the automation engine to obtain raw operation data nascent from the constituent. The system also includes at least one module for processing the code and providing the extractable information to the automation engine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring network resources is disclosed. Code for use in instructing components in a network monitoring system is provided. The components include at least one data gathering for gathering operation data from a monitor network constituent. A main computer system has a database for storing the operation data. A data forwarder permits communication of the operation data from the data gather to the computer system. The computer system is remotely located from the data gatherer. The code includes information for creating custom tables in the database to hold the operation data. Information permits the data gatherer to selectively gather the operation data from other possible data that is capable of being gathered from the monitor constituent.

Abstract: A system and method for executing secure transactions on a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a memory. In one aspect, the method and system include providing a basic input output system (BIOS) on the computer system, providing a secure peripheral coupled with the computer system, and providing a master security co-processor coupled with the computer system. The BIOS includes first unit for indicating a first trust relationship with the BIOS. The secure peripheral includes second unit for indicating a second trust relationship with the secure peripheral. The master security co-processor is for processing sensitive data on the computer system and includes third unit for indicating a third trust relationship with the master security co-processor.

Abstract: An improved method for encoding digital-data in a data processing system providing a buffer and utilizing a forward looking encoding process is disclosed. The forward looking encoding process includes the sequential steps of allocating a maximum number of bytes for a maximum size data-length field within the buffer and determining a data-length value for the digital data by encoding each of at least one portion of the digital data, the maximum size data-length field for receiving the data-length value. The forward looking encoding process also includes adjusting the maximum size data-length field, wherein the forward looking encoding process avoids a memory consuming duplication of the digital data.

Abstract: A method and system for secure transactions. The method and system comprise a security co-processor and an interface for interfacing the security co-processor to a host computer system. The method and system wherein secure transaction processing is performed locally in the security co-processor and non-secure transaction processing is performed in the host computer system. The method and system further include means for providing trusted input coupled to the security co-processor. In addition, the method and system include a second interface coupled to the security co-processor for receiving sensitive data from a smart card, and a trusted display coupled to the security co-processor for providing true transaction information. One advantage of the method and system in accordance with the present invention is that transactions are protected from unauthorized intrusion and, in addition, participation is proven so that transactions cannot be repudiated.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a random number is disclosed. The method and system include providing at least one oscillator, providing a sampler, and providing a sample control. The sampler is coupled to the at least one oscillator. The sampler is for sampling the at least one oscillator to provide at least a portion of the random number. The sample control is coupled to the sampler and is for controlling the sampler to sample the at least one oscillator at an interval which is based on a portion of a previous random number provided using the at least one oscillator.
