Patent number: 8667134Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for conducting electronic transactions in a distributed computing environment. A communications protocol is provided that enables reliable transactional state synchronization for peers participating in a distributed transaction. A transaction processing application is deployed on a local computer system to manage transactions thereon. The local computer system contacts a remote computer system to obtain authorization to execute a transaction. The local computer system initiates a failure-recovery job that is operable to automatically resend status signals and other information to the remote system if the communication with the remote system exhibits certain predefined fault conditions. The remote system is able to dynamically adjust the definition of the predefined fault conditions. If the transaction concludes without triggering the predefined fault conditions, the failure-recovery job is cancelled.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Intertrust Technologies CorporationInventors: Marc E. Strohwig, John M. McGinty, W. Olin Sibert

Patent number: 8239961Abstract: A method for monitoring time so that the use of protected content can be controlled includes receiving a trusted time value from a trusted authority external to a client device. When the client is no longer in communication with the trusted authority, the previously-received trusted time value is updated by use of the client's operating system counter so that a calculated trusted time value is derived for content license evaluation purposes.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Marc E. Strohwig, Yoji Kawamoto, Motohiko Nagano, Pierre Chavanne, Norifumi Goto, Oscar H. Steele, III, Eric John Swenson
