Patent number: 9830461Abstract: A device identifier (ID) is received that is associated with a request by a particular device to access media content hosted by a system remote from the particular device, the device ID being a device ID of the particular device. Based on the device ID, one or more capabilities of the particular device are determined relating to use of the media content. Access to the media content is based on the one or more capabilities of the particular device.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Sylvain P.

Patent number: 9465945Abstract: A system for protecting the digital rights of content owners allows digital media to be delivered to only those media rendering client devices that have been approved for the media content. Before delivering requested media, the media service provider may determine whether the media rendering client device that requested the media is the type of device that is authorized to receive the request media. If it is, the media service provider may transmit the media to a middleman server over a network (such as the Internet). A middleman server may then serve the media to the client device over a local network. By allowing the media content to be distributed to approved devices only, the media service provider can prevent a user from using the media in a way that is not authorized by the content owner.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Sylvain P. Rebaud, Niranjan Nagar, Timothy R. Bratton, Sean Ryan

Patent number: 8046811Abstract: A system and method automates a scheduled retrieval, storage, and access of media data. Media data is retrieved from an external source and downloaded to an end user media device storage for subsequent playback at the end user media device. Media data is accessible from the end user media device storage based upon criteria including a selection of the end user, rules regulating the media data, and whether a playback time of the media data is sufficient to retrieve additional media data. The system performs regularly scheduled dynamic controls to determine whether additional media data is required for continuous and uninterrupted access of the media data.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: RealNetworks, Inc.Inventors: Nicolas W. Sincaglia, James P. Lester, Sylvain P. Rebaud
