Patent number: 8893299Abstract: A method of authorizing access to content, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes receiving a request to access an instance of content. A key registry server may provide user accounts, which identify an authorized user of the instance of content and a parameter for accessing the instance of content. A determination is then made that accessing the instance of content is within the parameter and authorized for the user and access to the instance of content is allowed. The content may be local to the use system or accessed remotely (e.g., over a network). Also, the registry may be remote to the user system or local or both (e.g., with updates periodically made).Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White

Patent number: 8875309Abstract: A method of presenting content, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes receiving a request for an item of content and selectively verifying ownership of the requested content. If verification of ownership is not to be performed for the particular request, the item of content may be served. If ownership is substantiated for the particular request, the content may also be served. If ownership is not substantiated for the particular request, the content may be purged. Ownership verification may be by access to a physical copy of the content (e.g., DVD, CD or the like).Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White

Patent number: 8788425Abstract: A method and system for accessing content on demand are described. In one embodiment, upon receiving a user request to access an instance of content (e.g., information that is independent of a particular physical medium), the identity of the user is authenticated. The request conveys a unique identifier of the instance of content and a key for activating the content corresponding thereto according to an instance of ownership stored therewith. The instance of ownership corresponding to the user in that instance of content is ascertained. Upon associating the instance of ownership corresponding to the user in the instance of content, the instance of content is activated to allow the user to access the instance of content according to the corresponding instance of ownership. Where access is demanded in excess of the instance of ownership, a transaction is initiated with which the instance of ownership can be upgraded.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White

Patent number: 8751825Abstract: A method of storing content, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, includes receiving an item of content in a protected format and a key corresponding to the item of content. The item of content in its protected format may be stored on a mass storage device. The key may also be stored in a safeguarded format on the mass storage device.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White

Patent number: 8359332Abstract: The present invention facilitates convenient and secure distribution of proprietary content. A present secure content enabled drive system and method permits flexible use of storage medium for both protected distribution of information and user definable storage use. In one embodiment a digital right management method includes creating a secure content enabled drive with protected storage locations and unprotected storage locations. Initial digital rights authorization is established to access secure content stored in said protected storage locations. The initial digital rights authorization to access secure content stored in said protected storage locations can be revised.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White, Piers J. Daniell

Patent number: 8346807Abstract: A method and system for registering and activating content are described. Ownership of instances of content is registered in a registry of accounts associated with various users. Responsive to a user selecting an instance of content from a content distributor, the user's account is updated by adding therein an identifier uniquely associated therewith. Responsive to the user requesting access to an instance of content, the identity of the user is authenticated. The request conveys a unique identifier of the instance of content and a key for activating the content. The content activating key is compared with the registry to identify the user's ownership level in the instance of content. Upon associating the user identity with the user's ownership level, the instance of content is activated to allow the user to access the instance of content according to the corresponding ownership level.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Michael B. Diamond, Jonathan B. White

Patent number: 8094239Abstract: Field-based detection of 3:2 pulldown in a sequence of digital video fields using a programmable graphics processor is described. The detection is performed using a threshold value to determine equivalence between a pair of fields of digital video data. Furthermore, additional threshold values may be used to control switching into a mode where duplicated fields of digital video data are identified and not displayed and out of the mode where duplicated fields of digital video data are identified and not displayed. Look ahead can be used to detect when to switch into or out of the mode where duplicated fields of digital video data are identified and not displayed, reducing the occurrence of visual artifacts.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Jonathan B. White, Michael L. Lightstone
