  • Patent number: 10445534
    Abstract: A storage device wiping system and method that is activated from a remote server or other site when a computer is reported lost or stolen. The wipe technique selectively wipes all data files and free space before beginning to wipe the entire storage device. This causes any personal data files, photos, videos, and the like to be wiped first. Once the wiping process starts, it will continue until complete. The process starts or continues whenever the computer is booted. Only when all personal and sensitive data is wiped, will the system then change the encryption key (if there is one) and begin wiping the entire storage device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9392303
    Abstract: A system and method for combining multiple video bit streams on a server using low latency encoding and stream them to a user based on user input over the network. Each frame of the resulting single video stream can include anything from a single video window at full size to multiple video windows at a variety of sizes. This allows apparently instantaneous video switching by the user without the buffering start-up delay normally suffered by a user when a new video stream is selected. User browsing can be done by scrolling through smaller scale thumbnail videos and zooming of one or more of the videos. The user can also browse video based on geospatial context.
