  • Patent number: 9613205
    Abstract: A user may utilize an existing digital identity to authorize the user's access to security-enabled device operations, where the security-enabled device comprises a cryptographic chip. The device can receive a user authentication token from the digital user identification service, which authenticates a user's identity. Further, the security-enabled device can validate the user authentication token, and provide the user access to device security operations on the security-enabled device if the user authentication token is successfully validated, allowing the user to reset their security access information for the device.

  • Patent number: 9071651
    Abstract: An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other identifier to retrieve dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to render HTML files into a static image, sized appropriately, that can be presented on a static display device. A user enters URLs identifying locations of dynamic content within a configuration interface on the image service. The image service then dynamically pulls the selected content from the identified web sites, converts the web pages, or portions thereof, into static digital image files, and downloads the image files for display on a static display device.

  • Patent number: 8156418
    Abstract: An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other location identifier to retrieve static images embedded in dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to extract one or more static images embedded in the dynamic content presentation that can be consumed by the static display device. URLs to existing web pages are entered into a configuration interface on the image service. The image service parses the web pages, identifies a direct location identifier for the embedded image, and passes the direct location identifier to the static display device for direct retrieval of the embedded image. In another implementation, the image service dynamically pulls the selected embedded images from the identified web sites, and downloads the static image files for display on the static display device.

  • Patent number: 8001002
    Abstract: Methods, media, and components are provided for presenting advertising content in an offline setting. In one embodiment, the method includes presenting on a user interface (UI) an advertisement in an electronic form that is associated with selectable options that are also presented on the UI. The selectable options lead to a presentation of supplemental advertising information that is related to the advertisement. The method also includes receiving user input via one the selectable options, and while not communicatively coupled to a source-delivery network, presenting supplemental advertising information that is related to the advertisement.
