Patent number: 8577955Abstract: A method and system for distributing images for display by client systems. A distribution system includes an image server system that is connected to image client systems via a communications link, such as the Internet. The image server system is responsible for providing image packages to the image client systems and for collecting information from the image client systems. Each image client system periodically sends a heartbeat communication to the image server system. Upon receiving a heartbeat communication, the image server system determines the state of the image client system that sent the heartbeat communication and responds appropriately. The response may include instructions for the image client system to retrieve new images, to retrieve software updates, to send usage data, and so on.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Eqapez Foundation, L.L.C.Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Paul Brownlow

Publication number: 20060184421Abstract: A facility for adjusting the execution of an advertising campaign in which advertising messages are presented using a plurality of advertising alternatives as described. During a first time period, the facility presents advertising messages using each of the advertising alternatives in accordance with an initial allocation for each of the advertising alternatives. Also during the first time period, the facility tracks the performance of the advertising campaign with respect to each of the advertising alternatives. Based upon the tracking during the first time period, the facility attributes a performance score to each of the advertising alternatives for the first time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Chen Yu

Publication number: 20060005255Abstract: A system for securely distributing content is provided. A distribution system includes a content server that distributes content to content clients via a communications link or a tangible medium. The distribution system uses passwords to encrypt and decrypt content and to control access to sensitive information stored on the content clients. The distribution system initially receives various passwords from a user and encrypts each password. Some of the encrypted passwords are “identification passwords” and others are “encryption passwords.” The identification passwords are used to control access to sensitive information stored on the content clients, and the encryption passwords are used to encrypt and decrypt content that is distributed to the content clients. The distribution system configures each content client to contain the identification passwords and encryption passwords in a secure folder.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2004Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Paul Brownlow

Publication number: 20060004697Abstract: A method and system for displaying images that restrict (i.e., prevent) the display of certain images. An image display system is provided with image packages that each include an image plan and images to be displayed. The image plan specifies the sequential display of images and may specify timing, transitioning, panning, and other information relating to the display of the images. The image display system allows a user to define a “restricted attribute condition” that indicates which images are not to be displayed. When the image display system executes an image plan, it selects the next image to be displayed in accordance with the image plan. Prior to displaying the selected image, the image display system determines whether the selected image has attribute values that satisfy a restricted attribute condition. When a restricted attribute condition is satisfied, the image display system suppresses the display of the selected image.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2004Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Paul Brownlow

Publication number: 20050268226Abstract: A method and system for displaying image information along with images is provided. An image display system receives an image package that includes images and image descriptions. The image descriptions include image information (or “credits”) and instructions on how the image information is to be displayed. The image display system then displays the images of the received image package and the image information of the image descriptions so that the image information is alpha blended with a portion of the displayed image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2004Publication date: December 1, 2005Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Paul Brownlow

Publication number: 20050078181Abstract: A method and system for generating an image display plan is provided. In one embodiment, a planning system allows a user to create a display plan that specifies a sequence of images that are to be displayed and how the images are to be displayed. The planning system allows a user to specify different versions of the plan for different aspect ratios. When displaying the image, the planning system may display multiple viewports simultaneously on the image, one for each of the different aspect ratios. The planning system may allow the multiple viewports to be moved around and resized as a unit maintaining a common center point for the viewports.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Scott Lipsky, Paul Brownlow
