    Abstract: A square QLED display device exclusively displays generative and dynamically evolving art. The device incorporates a custom high-density mini LED backlight with a quantum dot layer to achieve superior color gamut and contrast ratio in a 1:1 form factor. Integrated millimeter-wave (mmWave) and other sensors enable audience and environment detection. The display further includes an integrated high-performance GPU for real-time generative art rendering. The display leverages a variety of inputs from sensors embedded in the display device, as well as randomization features embedded in the generative algorithms. These inputs and randomization features together enable the creation of a “living” artwork that continuously evolves and responds dynamically to its environment and context.

  • Patent number: 9426140
    Abstract: A data processing method providing improved and efficient authentication of client computers by server computers, the method comprising: using authentication logic of a server computer, establishing a secure socket connection with a client computer; receiving, from the client computer, a request to use a communications service that is implemented at the server computer, and in response to the request, determining that the client computer is unauthenticated; providing a nonce value to the client computer; receiving from the client computer an encrypted identity token that includes the nonce and a user identifier, wherein the identity token has been encrypted using a provider computer and an encryption key of the provider computer, wherein the encryption key is known at the server computer; validating the identity token and obtaining the user identifier therein; creating and storing a session token that is uniquely associated with the client computer and that includes a session identifier, the user identifier,
