Patent number: 10902078Abstract: An indication initiated by a user within a first local user application that specifies user-selected data sharable by the first local user application is received at an operating system of a first computing device used by the user. A determination is made as to whether any other user applications share data compatibility with at least one portion of the specified user-selected data. In response to determining that at least one other user application shares the data compatibility with the at least one portion of the specified user-selected data, a data share indication to the at least one other user application is configured.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert B.

Patent number: 9515834Abstract: Provided are techniques for the distribution and control of digital content such that Quality of Experience (QoE) is maintained. Content is protected from when the content is encrypted to when it is used. To ensure the QoE of particular content, a content owner embeds a list of required or preferred components that must be employed to render the content. The content owner's list of required or preferred components specifies specific components “trusted” to correctly process the content. The specified chain of preferred components is compared to possible devices in the system that processes the content. If there are multiple acceptable devices for a specific link, a preference system is employed to determine the device that executed the particular part of the chain. The preference system is based upon a number of factors, such as, but not limited to, performance characteristics, user preferences, expected stability, power requirements and system preferences.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Bellwood, Robert B. Chumbley, Jacob D. Eisinger, Travis M. Grigsby, Matthew F. Rutkowski

Patent number: 9503541Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for identifying a web application having a primary resource that references a secondary resource, wherein the primary resource contains a version identifier of the primary resource and a version identifier of the secondary resource. Additionally, a cached version of the primary resource and a cached version of the secondary resource may be created on a mobile device, and the version identifier of the primary resource may be used to determine whether the secondary resource is stale. In one example, it may be determined that staleness checking has been disabled in the secondary resource. Moreover, if the primary resource does not contain the version identifiers, cloud caching may be used.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert B.

Patent number: 8724811Abstract: Provided are techniques for providing a home or business security system that relies upon data encryption for both communication and the storage of content. The disclosed technology incorporates all the devices necessary for a comprehensive security system, including, but not limited to, controllers, monitors, alarms and communication media. The system may include an unlimited number of devices and, further, individual devices may be added and removed as needed. Users may define and change the boundaries of a security system or, in other words, decide what devices to include or not include in such a system. A defined boundary does not need to be confined to a single location. In one embodiment, the claimed subject matter incorporates xCP based broadcast encryption technology.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 8488793Abstract: Provided is a method for rendering media content wherein a request to render a first media content stored in a first partition is received, wherein the first partition stores the first and a second media content; the media content is correlated to a first management key block (MKB), binding ID (IDb) and authorization table (AT); the first MKB, IDb and AT are compared to a current MKB, IDb and AT; and if any of the first MKB, IDb or AT do not correspond to the current MKB, IDb or AT, respectively, generating a second partition by rebinding the first media content with respect to the current MKB, IDb and AT to generate a title key; and associating the first media content, the current MKB, IDb, AT and title key with the second partition, wherein the second media content remains associated with the first MKB, IDb, AT and partition.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas A.
