  • Patent number: 11432050
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for Internet Protocol television streaming are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive encrypted television programming via a secure communication channel from a remote access point that receives the television programming via a data feed from a television service provider. The example receiver is configured to decrypt the encrypted television programming, decode the decrypted television programming, and select at least one of a channel or content of the decoded and decrypted television programming based on input received from a user via an interface. The example apparatus also includes a display device configured to receive and display the selected at least one of a channel or content of the decoded and decrypted television programming.

  • Patent number: 11093587
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for installing a software product using timestamp validation and system identification validation are disclosed. An example method to lock a software product in a software wrapper includes determining a unique hard drive serial number of a user device to which the software product is to be installed and generating a hash number of the unique hard drive serial number. The example method also includes determining a campaign identifier of the software product from a secure variable within the software product and generating a date-time code based on a current date and time. The method further includes assembling the date-time code and the campaign identifier into an unlock code, encrypting the unlock code using the hash number as a passphrase key to create an encrypted unlock code, and applying the encrypted unlock code to an end of a filename of an installer using a command line parameter.

  • Patent number: 10788682
    Abstract: A mobile hologram apparatus is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a sheet folded along preformed creases into a pyramid structure configured to be actuated between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. The pyramid structure has a base section and a top section connected by four side sections. The pyramid structure in the compressed state has a height that is less than 1/10th the height of the pyramid structure in the uncompressed state. The apparatus also includes an elastic band connected to a perimeter of the base section of the pyramid structure and configured to cause the pyramid structure to self-actuate from the compressed state to the uncompressed state.
