  • Publication number: 20210011306
    Abstract: A hologram display system is disclosed. An example system includes a hologram apparatus including a sheet folded along preformed creases into a frustum structure configured to be actuated between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. The frustum structure has a base section and a top section connected by four side sections. The system also includes instructions stored in a memory of a consumer device, which when executed, cause a processor of the consumer device to display, on a screen of the consumer device, holographic interactive content that is related to the hologram apparatus, detect interaction with at least one of the holographic interactive content or the hologram apparatus after the hologram apparatus is placed on the screen of the consumer device, and change the display of at least a portion of the holographic interactive content based on the detected interaction.

  • Patent number: 10788682
    Abstract: A mobile hologram apparatus is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a sheet folded along preformed creases into a pyramid structure configured to be actuated between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. The pyramid structure has a base section and a top section connected by four side sections. The pyramid structure in the compressed state has a height that is less than 1/10th the height of the pyramid structure in the uncompressed state. The apparatus also includes an elastic band connected to a perimeter of the base section of the pyramid structure and configured to cause the pyramid structure to self-actuate from the compressed state to the uncompressed state.

  • Patent number: 10430564
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for installing a software product using timestamp validation and system identification validation are disclosed. An example method to lock a software product in a software wrapper includes determining a unique hard drive serial number of a user device to which the software product is to be installed and generating a hash number of the unique hard drive serial number. The example method also includes determining a campaign identifier of the software product from a secure variable within the software product and generating a date-time code based on a current date and time. The method further includes assembling the date-time code and the campaign identifier into an unlock code, encrypting the unlock code using the hash number as a passphrase key to create an encrypted unlock code, and applying the encrypted unlock code to an end of a filename of an installer using a command line parameter.

  • Patent number: 10116998
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for Internet Protocol television streaming are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a remote access point configured to receive television programming via a data feed from a television service provider. The remote access point is specifically assigned to an application operating on a client device. The apparatus also includes a connection controller configured to determine television programming received in the remote access point is to be transmitted to the specific application operating on the client device and transmit the encrypted television programming to the application via a secure communication channel. The apparatus also includes a management controller configured to provision a virtual local area network between the remote access point and the connection controller and provision the secure communication channel from the connection controller to the application operating on the client device.
