Publication number: 20210201375Abstract: A system and method for the sale, purchase, and reuse of tickets previously purchased is provided. The system and method provide a tertiary market for used ticket by enabling the tickets of “early exits” to be resold to later attendees who wish to attend the remaining duration of the event. The system and method can be applied to any event in which tickets or passes of some sort are sold, both single-day and multi-day, including but not limited to: sporting events; concerts; festivals; and conferences. Tickets are made available through an electronic system that captures the ticket information either upon departure, or soon after. Upon recapture, tickets are then made available to a new consumer through the same process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Seth Siegel, Brian Siegel, Jaime Siegel

Patent number: 8683200Abstract: A content server is provided for storing and distributing digital content to a client. The content server includes a content database configured to electronically store the digital content and a DRM packager for adding a universal DRM layer to the digital content stored at the content database. The universal DRM layer is able to access digital content in conformance with a plurality of different DRM implementations, the digital content being in conformance with one of the plurality of different DRM implementations. The universal DRM layer can access the content by a variety of means, such as with a universal key, for example, that can decrypt content from many different DRM technologies. In this way the client only needs to have a DRM controller that is compatible with this higher-level, universal DRM implementation rather than with the individual, underlying DRM implementations.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Corporation of AmericaInventor: Jaime A.

Publication number: 20110061107Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for providing digital content to a client. The method begins by receiving a request from the client to receive digital content. The client is authorized to receive the digital content and the DRM implementation employed by the client is determined. The digital content is then provided to the client in conformance with the DRM implementation employed by the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicants: SONY CORPORATION, SONY CORPORATION OF AMERICAInventor: Jaime A.

Patent number: 7778925Abstract: A method of purchasing a soundtrack associated with A/V content. When A/V content is purchased by download or otherwise, the user is provided with an option to purchase or store the soundtrack. In one embodiment, the purchase of the motion picture secures usage rights to the soundtrack while another embodiment requires separate purchase of the soundtrack. In either case, the user is enabled to store the soundtrack as a separate file after having purchased rights to do so. The soundtrack is then stored, in some embodiments with digital rights management or copy protection to limit the number of copies that can be made of the soundtrack. The motion picture has a Table of Contents (TOC) indexing the soundtrack portions of the audio content of the motion picture to enable extraction of those portions of the motion picture forming the soundtrack.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2001Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Jaime A. Siegel, Toshimoto Mitomo

Publication number: 20060226993Abstract: A device and method for detecting the presence of living organisms in a structure or behind a wall or partition utilizes a microwave or radio-frequency one or more transceivers which generate separate and distinct interrogating signals and receives separate and distinct signals reflected from a structure and living organisms within it. The reflected signals received by each of the transceivers are processed, for instance by a microprocessor, so as to provide output signals that indicate the presence or absence of a living organism in the structure or behind wall or partition. The microprocessor distinguishes and differentiate signals from different living organisms and from false indication of the presence of living organisms, thereby enabling the detection of living organisms despite the existence of motion signals caused by non-living organism motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2006Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventors: Dimitri Donskoy, Michael Epstein, Jaime Siegel

Patent number: 6974076Abstract: A portable content playback device that includes the ability to accept a media with electronic playback credits, i.e. a smart card, that is pre-loaded with credits. Alternatively, the device may have internal memory that is capable of storing electronic credits. Consequently, when a user plays the content that is protected so that it may only be played only in a “pay per play” application credits are deducted from the media that manages the amount of electronic credits available to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventor: Jaime A.

Publication number: 20040192243Abstract: A method for reducing noise for a mobile telephone uses two boom microphones to create a processed voice signal with reduced noise content. A voice signal is received from a first microphone positioned near a user's mouth. A noise signal is received from a second microphone positioned at a distance from the user's mouth. A microprocessor cancels the noise signal from the voice signal and outputs the processed voice signal with reduced noise content. Another embodiment protects the privacy of a user of a mobile telephone by creating an acoustic signal from a sensed user's voice signal, which acoustic signal is an inverse of the user's voice signal. This inverse acoustic signal prevents any intelligible voice from reaching any bystanders.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventor: Jaime A. Siegel
