Abstract: A method apparatus and media for distributing protected content. An exemplary embodiment, including receiving a selection of content, packaging the selected content to generate packaged content, encrypting the packaged content to generate an encrypted content package, transmitting the encrypted content package to a content server, receiving content location information corresponding to the location of the encrypted content package on the content server, receiving a selection of one or more rights, combining the one or more rights with the content location information to generate a rights package including the content location information, transmitting the rights package to a license server, receiving license location information corresponding to the location of the rights package on the license server, and distributing the license location information.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media storing instructions for displaying content. An exemplary method comprises receiving source content, constructing a mask that segments the source content into at least a first segment and a second segment, identifying a masking technique, generating a first transformed image by applying the masking technique to the first segment, the first transformed image being different from the source content, generating a second transformed image by applying the masking technique to the second segment, the second transformed image being different from the source content and the first transformed image, and displaying the first transformed image and the second transformed image as frames in a repeating series of frames to thereby approximate the source content.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media storing instructions for providing frames for rendering on a display, the frames including a first frame comprising first pixel data, a second frame comprising second pixel data, and a third frame comprising third pixel data, the first pixel data comprising input values for color components including a first input value, the second pixel data comprising a second input value, and the third pixel data comprising a third input value. An exemplary method comprises determining the second input value such that a second output luminance corresponds to the minimum of double a first output luminance and a maximum output luminance, determining the third input value such that a third output luminance corresponds to double the first output luminance minus the second output luminance, and providing the second frame and the third frame for rendering on a display.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media storing instructions for displaying content. An exemplary method comprises receiving source content, identifying a mask that segments the source content into at least a first segment and a second segment, the identifying including specifying one or more parameters associated with the mask, identifying one or more masking techniques, associating the source content with obscuration information and one or more usage rules, the obscuration information including information corresponding to the mask, information corresponding to the one or more parameters, and information corresponding to the one or more masking techniques, and transmitting the source content, the one or more usage rules, and the obscuration information to at least one recipient computing device.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for a digital content player having a DRM agent to perform rights management operations on a digital content package, including loading rights management instructions to be executed by the digital content player, the rights management instructions being associated with the digital content package, executing the rights management instructions on the digital content player, and loading supporting licenses associated with the digital content package for processing by the DRM agent. The DRM agent deciding whether to permit the rights management operations requested by the rights management instructions. Further exemplary embodiments include systems, methods and computer program products for associating usage rights with digital content packages, managing of digital rights tokens, managing of digital content packages having predetermined broadcast dates, preserving of usage rights when content is transferred between DRM environments, and distributing content packages.

Abstract: A method, system, and device for license-centric content use or distribution, including a pre-existing digital rights management (DRM) system having a unique interface to a repository of data thereof to govern use of content; a shared license repository configured to access the data to govern the use of the content and to communicate with the unique interface of the pre-existing DRM system; and a user interface configured to interact with the pre-existing DRM system, and configured to allow the user to send a license associated with the content from the shared license repository to the pre-existing DRM system or to another shared license repository.

Abstract: A system, method and device for creating a rights expression for association with an item for use in a system for controlling use of the item in accordance with the rights expression, including specifying rights expression information indicating a manner of use of an item, the rights expression information including at least one element, the element having a variable and corresponding value for the variable; generating a profile of the rights expression information, including removing the value for the variable from the element; and generating an identification for the profile, whereby the rights expression information can be enforced on the device based on the variable and the identification for the profile.

Abstract: Usage rights for a digital work are established prior to creation of the corresponding content. The rights can be associated with the content after the content is created. A content creation, such as a video recorder or a still camera, device can store labels of the rights and can associate usage rights with content in real time as the content is created.

Abstract: A method for creating a digital work having content and usage rights related to the content, the digital work being adapted to be used within a system having repositories for controlling use of content, the method including issuing a license to a consumer, the license permitting the consumer to access the content of the digital work to be created in the future. The issuing step further includes determining the usage rights that can be included in the license, the usage rights specifying a type of use of the content that is enforceable by a repository; electronically generating a license based on the usage rights; and creating the digital work as the content is being created or after the content is created, wherein the step of creating the digital work includes securing the content before the digital work is distributed to the consumer.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for the secure distribution and consumption of electronic documents using a standard rendering engine. The documents have usage rights associated therewith. A server stores the documents in computer readable form. A user operates a client having a standard application program including a rendering engine capable of rendering unencrypted documents for viewing. The client and the server are coupled by a communications network. A rights management module receives a request from the client for at least one of the documents on the server and delivers the document and a set of rights associated with the document to the client. A connection module attached to the rendering engine receives the set of rights associated with the document. A user interface module attached to the rendering engine controls the user's access to the document in accordance with the list of rights for the user associated with the document.

Abstract: A system, method and device for creating a rights expression for association with an item for use in a system for controlling use of the item in accordance with the rights expression, including specifying rights expression information indicating a manner of use of an item, the rights expression information including at least one element, the element having a variable and corresponding value for the variable; generating a profile of the rights expression information, including removing the value for the variable from the element; and generating an identification for the profile, whereby the rights expression information can be enforced on the device based on the variable and the identification for the profile.
