Patent number: 11544787Abstract: A method for a protocol in digital asset trading includes step as follow. Trading information is exchanged between the first and the second nodes, in which a first digital currency belonging to the first node and a second digital currency belonging to the second node are expected to be exchanged, and prices of the first and second digital currencies are time-dependent. An atomic swap script and a smart contract are generated. A compensation fee to be paid to the second node by the first node is computed. A redeeming or refunding event is performed in response to the atomic swap script and the smart contract with paying the compensation fee to the second node, in which the compensation fee is dependent on the prices of the first and second digital currencies such that is time-dependent.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Ze Yang, Zhibin Lei, Yang Liu, Kangheng Wu, Shiyu Liao

Patent number: 8732239Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods which establish a referral gateway for facilitating multi-media content, or other rich content, exchange among users and user devices. Embodiments connect a WLAN, or any specific local area network, with a mobile cellular network for efficiently transmitting messages including rich content. In operation, a sending user does not need to download particular content to form a message, but instead sends a code to a referral gateway which compiles the message and arranges for delivery, such as over a fixed network, a cellular network, etcetera. Using such systems and methods neither the receiver nor the sender are limited by their respective network and/or user device capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2003Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhibin Lei, Irene Yuen Han Fan, Yiu Wing Wat

Patent number: 8667272Abstract: A content distribution method with broadcast encryption, comprising an encryption process that includes the computation of a ciphertext using a differential ciphertext generation method. The ciphertext needs to be recomputed whenever the subscriber set changes. The differential ciphertext generation method computes the new ciphertext by reusing previously preserved computational results of a previous ciphertext, thereby improving the efficiency of the system. A content distribution method with broadcast encryption also comprises a decryption process that includes the reconstruction of the encryption secret that is used for decrypting the encrypted content. A wide window point addition method is used in the encryption secret reconstruction. The wide window point addition method reuses previously preserved computational results of group-divided point additions of public parameters, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology ResearchInventors: Wing Pan Leung, Xiaokang Xiong, Yiu Wing Wat, Zhibin Lei

Patent number: 8468341Abstract: The claimed invention relates to system and method for providing encrypted content via a distribution network 630 with efficient key distribution and distribution network assignment. The claimed invention assigns users to content-specific distribution network in which the content is broadcast. This makes the content access much more efficient by conducting the authorization at the time of joining the content-specific distribution network and providing the content to entitled users through broadcasting. The claimed invention provides additional security by removing a user from the content-specific distribution network when his entitlement is no longer valid.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2009Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Yiu-Wing Wat, Zhibin Lei
