  • Patent number: 10952011
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein utilize psychoacoustic principles to process audio signals to achieve a desired result. In some embodiments, an exemplary process utilizes a combination of re-harmonization and auditory processing techniques in which a plurality of filtered audio cues are sampled, created and down-mixed into a final music output, which may be designed to trigger specific effects on the function of the body and the brain. In some embodiments, enhanced audio material may be altered during the stream or fixed for a desired result at the beginning of the stream. In some embodiments, a signal enhancement process may be embedded into silicon or a media player, decoder or device with software. In other embodiments, audio or video material may be encoded or finalized into the media file.

  • Patent number: 10721507
    Abstract: A method of content transaction consensus includes receiving a request to initiate a transaction for play of video or audio content, the request being received from a data network connected device having a native player. The transaction is validated by consensus in a peer-to-peer network that maintains a distributed ledger, and a record of the transaction is stored in the distributed ledger only when the transaction is validated. The record including a reference file for the video or audio content with a plurality of player control parameter values and linking data for one or more designated content sources outside the peer-to-peer network. And the method includes providing access to the reference file by the data network connected device to enable the data network connected device to play the video or audio content using the reference file and a content data file.

  • Patent number: 9955222
    Abstract: A method and system for providing video content on a data network connected device having a display and a device display controller including a player. The method comprises the steps of a data network connected device, accesses a reference file including a plurality of player control parameter values and linking data for one or more content sources. Play control commands are provided to the player based on the play control parameter values. Content data is acquired by the player from one or more content sources via the data network using the linking data, and the content acquired from each source played on the display in accordance with the player control commands. The reference file may be a pre-existing reference file or a reference file created in response to a request to play the video content data. A reference file compiler is provided for generating the reference file.
