  • Patent number: 12126877
    Abstract: A method and device for consuming watermarked media content includes generating a manifest request to access a watermarked media content asset, receiving a custom manifest and a watermarking signature including a unique sequence of segment variants relating to the media content asset, and generating a segment request to an origin server having a plurality of composite segments for the media content asset. The client device receives, from the origin server, a composite segment that includes an authorized watermarked segment variant. Using the unique sequence, the client device extracts the authorized watermarked segment variant and assembles a combination of the main ISOBMFF track and authorized watermarked segment variant to form an output composite segment that is assembled only from the main ISOBMFF track and the extracted particular watermarked segment variant, and decrypts and decodes the output composite segment for rendering by a player application of the client device.

  • Patent number: 11659257
    Abstract: A system and method for distributing watermarked media content assets in which a main track of a media content asset includes a first watermarking payload and at least one variant track includes a second watermarking payload. A plurality of composite segments of the media content asset are generated for distribution, wherein each composite segment includes a portion of the main track and may include a corresponding portion of at least one variant track. The composite segments may be uploaded to a delivery node operative to deliver segments responsive to a unique watermarking signature provided by a client controller operating in conjunction with a watermarking session manager.

  • Patent number: 10771843
    Abstract: A media distribution system and method with sample variants for normalized encryption involves encrypting a main track of a media content asset using a first encryption scheme and encrypting a sample variant track of the media content asset using a second encryption scheme, and performing at least one of: storing the encrypted main track and encrypted sample variant track of the media content asset packaged in a storage format, and transmitting the encrypted main track and the encrypted sample variant track in a distribution container format to an edge media router (EMR) device configured to repackage the media content asset into a delivery container format without reencrypting the media content asset.

  • Patent number: 7908151
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates dynamically providing a question to ask a medical professional during an appointment. An interface can receive a portion of medical data. A counselor component can generate a question based on the portion of medical data, wherein the question is generated to elicit an answer from a medical professional during an appointment. Moreover, the counselor component can dynamically generate a second question directed toward the medical professional based upon at least one of the answer or a value of information (VOI) computation.

  • Patent number: 7860793
    Abstract: A healthcare smart card management system stores a large amount of healthcare information to overcome shortcomings of separate and largely paper medical and insurance files. Embedded security technology supports partial or separated identity proofing as well as hardware time limited storage. Dynamic contextual privacy consent enhances user, healthcare provider, and insurer privacy and proprietary information to encourage and enable universal adoption. Data is structured in self-executing (“print to device”) for legacy systems as well as in rolled-access format and archival format to balance usage and data integrity purposes. A plurality of network interfaces are incorporated as well as financial transaction codes. Card integrity is enhanced by remote usage oversight, self-destruct monitoring (e.g., time, location, hacking, malfunction, etc.), and integral write-only audit logs.
