  • Publication number: 20240314367
    Abstract: Lightweight mechanisms provide a way to assert provenance when live streaming media content and establish provenance upon playback. For example, a provenance claim generator generates a key pair including a live-stream private key and live-stream public key. The claim generator signs, with a long-term private key reliably associated with a sender, manifest metadata including the live-stream public key, thereby producing a manifest signature. During live streaming, the claim generator signs respective portions of media content with the live-stream private key, producing portion signatures for the respective portions. A provenance claim validator receives the manifest signature and manifest metadata. The claim validator verifies the manifest metadata using a long-term public key (reliably associated with the sender) and the manifest signature.

  • Publication number: 20100153227
    Abstract: Mobile phone billing for content payment is described. In embodiments, a media content provider receives a billing identifier that is associated with a mobile phone. The billing identifier is received from a communication service provider that authenticates the mobile phone for communications, and a network communication link is established between the mobile phone and the media content provider via the communication service provider. The media content provider receives a request from the mobile phone to purchase and download a media asset. The media content provider determines the billing identifier that is associated with the mobile phone for the purchase of the media asset, and communicates a charge for the media asset to the communication service provider that then bills a user associated with the mobile phone. The user that is associated with the mobile phone is billed for the media asset in a mobile phone service bill.

  • Patent number: 3983119
    Abstract: A new process has been developed for the synthesis of optionally substituted 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-2-ones. In particular, the process is particularly adaptable for the preparation of the 5,6-disubstituted compounds, e.g., 5,6-dimethyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo-[2,1-b]quinazolin-2-one. The compounds so prepared are useful as blood platelet anti-aggregative and/or antihypertensive agents in mammals, including humans.
