Publication number: 20220263809Abstract: A method and system for transmission of digital content via e-mail with point of use digital rights management is disclosed. The secured access rights to the digital content may be customized for individual recipients by the sender, and may evolve over time. The access rights are enforced according to a time-dependent scheme. A key server is used to arbitrate session keys for the encrypted content, eliminating the requirement to exchange public keys prior to transmission of the digital content. During the entire process of transmitting and receiving e-mail messages and documents, the exchange of cryptographic keys remains totally transparent to the users of the system. Additionally, electronic documents may be digitally signed with authentication of the signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Patrick Carson Meehan, Zachary Wisenbaker Price, Raymond Joseph Zambroski, JR., William Henry Frenchu, Shawn Patrick Hickey, Jesse Lee White, Anthony Allen Mohr, Jeremy Wayne Gomsrud

Patent number: 8994645Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing a virtual object based on physical location and tagging are provided. A set of virtual objects are maintained in a database on a mobile computing device. Each virtual object includes an action associated with an identifier and coordinates for one or more physical locations. A physical location of the mobile computing device is tracked and an identification tag within range of the mobile computing device is identified. The mobile computing device's physical location and the identification tag are respectively evaluated against the coordinates and the identifiers for the virtual objects in the database. For each of the coordinates and identifiers matched to the physical location and the identification tag, the action associated with the correspondingly matched virtual object is performed using the mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Groundspeak, Inc.Inventor: Patrick Carson Meehan

Patent number: 8838540Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing recognized offline modification of a virtual asset are provided. A virtual asset that includes parameters that each have intrinsic significance within a virtual environment defined exclusively by a central server is identified. Qualitative rules including characteristics of the parameters are defined. The virtual asset is stored on storage media offline from the central server. Proposed changes to at least one of the parameters of the virtual asset applied by a client application are maintained and are stored on the storage media The virtual asset is authenticated on behalf of the central server through an asset authority. When authenticated, each proposed change is evaluated against the characteristics of the parameters as defined in the qualitative rules and only those proposed changes that are satisfactory are accepted.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2008Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Groundspeak, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Carson Meehan, Scott Charles Dodson, Elias C.

Patent number: 8502835Abstract: A computer-implemented method for virtually placing a virtual object in the real world is provided. A set of virtual objects are maintained in an actions database on a mobile computing device, which each include an action associated with an identifier and coordinates for physical locations. A set of real world object models is maintained in an objects database on the device, which each include a three-dimensional model. A physical location of the device is tracked. An identification tag within range is identified. The device's physical location and the identification tag are respectively evaluated. For each coordinates and identifiers matched, the action associated with the matched virtual object is completed. Where required, the virtual object is evaluated against the real world object models and the virtual object is rendered in light of any such real world object models located within vicinity of the device. The action is performed using the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Groundspeak, Inc.Inventor: Patrick Carson Meehan
