Abstract: A system for notification and management of item disposal is useful to provide a passive means of detecting the disposal of an item, association of disposal characteristics with the item, creation of disposal events with user based criteria, and support for subscription to notifications based upon the disposal events. In the present invention, the disposal of an item with a particular set of characteristics can generate notification to a subscriber regarding handling of the item. The present invention can include meta-data describing relative priority or other relevant information for a particular event to a subscriber associated with the item. The notification of the present invention can be via E-mail, pagers, personal digital assistants, or the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a means for managing title keys by establishing logical partitions of title keys encrypted with the same binding information. The invention supports delayed and background processing of title keys when binding information changes. This invention supports proper accounting for devices required to recover rebinding processing when devices fail or go offline unexpectedly during processing. The invention uses binding context which represents a set of data that can be used to determine if the binding information used to encrypt a set of title keys is outdated and allow for rebinding to the current cluster binding information level.

Abstract: A system and method for usage based key management rebinding using logical partitions that intelligently organizes the scheduling and re-encryption processing of title keys into logical groups. Candidate title keys of the present invention are sorted into logical groups based upon content meta-data. This meta-data can be based upon content classification, usage patterns, frequency of use, currency of access and other configurable parameters. Title keys are partitioned based on meta-data and priority can be established between partitions. Title keys are re-encrypted with current binding information based on partition priority. Said title keys are tracked to ensure they are re-encrypted.

Abstract: A data processing system that is capable of providing dynamically adjusted renderings of images is disclosed. The data processing system uses an operating system that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) displayable in a first color scheme. The data processing system further includes a least one, preferably more, device drivers supporting a second color scheme. More particularly, the system performs dynamically adjusted rendering from the first color scheme to the second color scheme. To perform such rendering, the system renders a graphic primitive in the first color scheme to a second color scheme and stores the rendered graphic primitive as a new second color scheme surface. This is repeated iteratively until such a time as the rendered surface has been completed. Preferably, the second color scheme is CYAN, MAGENTA, and YELLOW (CMY) and may further include BLACK (K).
