  • Publication number: 20190035008
    Abstract: A system and method of creating, publishing and distributing display advertising for products sold by online merchants. The system provides tools for individuals with limited experience in the online marketing industry to create and publish customized and personalized display advertising for these products and distribute this display advertising and links to the products by multiple methods. These distribution methods enable users of the system to take full advantage of recommendation based marketing as well as push products ads and links directly to user devices such as smart phones and mobile devices of potential customers. This allows individuals to participate in a plurality of affiliate marketing programs of multiple online merchants on a single platform. Further, the platform enables the secure distribution of digital content via its legacy rights management IP and software.

  • Patent number: 9191376
    Abstract: A system and method of encrypting digital content in a digital container and securely locking the encrypted content to a particular user and/or computer or other computing device is provided. The system uses a token-based authentication and authorization procedure and involves the use of an authentication/authorization server. This system provides a high level of encryption security equivalent to that provided by public key/asymmetric cryptography without the complexity and expense of the associated PKI infrastructure. The system enjoys the simplicity and ease of use of single key/symmetric cryptography without the risk inherent in passing unsecured hidden keys. The secured digital container when locked to a user or user's device may not open or permit access to the contents if the digital container is transferred to another user's device. The digital container provides a secure technique of distributing electronic content such as videos, text, data, photos, financial data, sales solicitations, or the like.

  • Patent number: 8800019
    Abstract: A system and method for securely streaming encrypted digital media content out of a digital container to a user's media player. This streaming occurs after the digital container has been delivered to the user's machine and after the user has been authorized to access the encrypted content. The user's operating system and media player treat the data stream as if it were a being delivered over the Internet (or other network) from a streaming web server. However, no Internet connection is required after the container has been delivered to the user and the data stream suffers no quality loss due to network traffic or web server access problems. In this process of the invention, the encrypted content files are decrypted and fed to the user's media player in real time and are never written to the user's hard drive or storage device. This process makes unauthorized copying of the digital content contained in the digital container virtually impossible.
