Patent number: 7149722Abstract: To distribute digital content from a retailer to a customer, the content as issued by a content provider is retrieved. The as issued content has license acquisition information for acquiring a corresponding license attached thereto, where the license acquisition information includes a site identifier identifying a site at which the customer may obtain a digital license corresponding to the content. The site identifier includes an additional information field attached thereto. The additional information field is modified to include retailer information identifying the retailer, and the content is delivered with the modified additional information field to the customer. Thus, a license request sent from the customer is addressed to the site identified by the site identifier in the license acquisition information and includes the modified additional information field attached thereto.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Rajasekhar Abburi

Patent number: 7130390Abstract: A system and method by which individuals can send and receive audio messages using telephone devices and/or computer devices. Upon receiving an audio message on behalf of an intended recipient, the system accesses a user profile to determine how the intended recipient should be contacted. The system then contacts the intended recipient in accordance with his or her user profile and notifies the intended recipient of the received audio message. The audio message is then delivered to the intended recipient in audio form through either a computer device or a telephone device. A person may thus send a voice or other audio message to an intended recipient using either a computer device or a telephone device, at the sender's option, and the audio message may be promptly delivered to the intended recipient in audio form via either a computer device or a telephone device, at the recipient's option.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2002Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Rajasekhar Abburi

Publication number: 20060212363Abstract: To render digital content determined to be in an encrypted rights-protected form, each available license corresponding to the digital content to be rendered is identified, where each such license includes a decryption key (KD) for decrypting the digital content to be rendered, and where the decryption key (KD) in the license is encrypted according to a public key (PU) (PU(KD)). One of the identified licenses is selected and (KD) is obtained from the selected license by obtaining (PU(KD)) from the selected license and decrypting (PU(KD)) according to a private key (PR) corresponding to (PU) to produce (KD). The digital content is decrypted with (KD), and the decrypted digital content is provided for actual rendering.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Marcus Peinado, Rajasekhar Abburi, Arnold Blinn, Thomas Jones, John Manferdelli, Jeffrey Bell, Ramaranthnam Venkatesan, Paul England, Mariusz Jakubowski, Hai Yu

Patent number: 7103574Abstract: An enforcement architecture and method for implementing digital rights management are disclosed. Digital content is distributed from a content server to a computing device of a user and received, and an attempt is made to render the digital content by way of a rendering application. The rendering application invokes a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system, and such DRM system determines whether a right to render the digital content in the manner sought exists based on any digital license stored in the computing device and corresponding to the digital content. If the right does not exist, a digital license that provides such right and that corresponds to the digital content is requested from a license server, and the license server issues the digital license to the DRM system. The computing device receives the issued digital license and stores the received digital license thereon.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1999Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Marcus Peinado, Rajasekhar Abburi, Arnold N.

Patent number: 7051005Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) system operates on a computing device and requires a black box for performing decryption and encryption functions. To obtain the black box from a black box server, the DRM system requests such black box from such black box server. The black box server in response generates the black box, where such black box is unique and has a public/private key pair. The black box server then delivers the generated black box to the DRM system and the DRM system installs the delivered black box in such DRM system.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Marcus Peinado, Rajasekhar Abburi, Arnold N.

Patent number: 7024393Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM) system operates on a computing device when a user requests that a protected piece of digital content be rendered by the computer device in a particular manner. The DRM system has a license store, a license evaluator, and a state store. The license store stores digital licenses on the computing device. The license evaluator determines whether any licenses stored in the license store correspond to the requested digital content and whether any such corresponding licenses are valid, reviews license rules in each such valid license, and determining based on such reviewed license rules whether such license enables the requesting user to render the requested digital content in the manner sought. The state store maintains state information corresponding to each license in the license store, where the state information is created and updated by the license evaluator as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Marcus Peinado, Rajasekhar Abburi, Jeffrey R.
