Patent number: 10878429Abstract: Systems and methods allow customers to verify the authenticity or provenance of physical objects before purchasing or obtaining the physical objects. The methods involve scanning a code of or a pattern embedded or incorporated in a physical object in transit or upon creation, transmitting the scanned code and information of the physical object through the Internet, generating or updating a block based on the scanned code and the information, verifying or authenticating the block, and storing the block as an immutable part of a distributed ledger. The code or pattern is a unique identifier of the physical object. The methods may include capturing an image of the physical object (e.g., an identification card, document, or passport) or an object associated with the physical object to be used for secondary verification and generating or updating the block so as to include the obtained image in the block of the blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Inventor: Konstantinos Bakalis

Patent number: 10867170Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying images containing a personal identifying document. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises obtaining a first set of images by selecting images from a stream of images in an arbitrary sequence, determining images in the first set of images that contain documents, generating a second set of images by excluding from the first set of images those images that do not contain documents, determining images in the second set of images that contain basic structural elements of an identification document, generating a third set of images by excluding from the second set of images those images which do not contain basic structural elements of an identification document and identifying from the generated third set of images, at least one image containing at least one identification document based on rules of determination.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: AO KASPERSKY LABInventors: Alexander V. Sharov, Dmitry S. Dorogoy, Ilya A. Tereshchenko

Patent number: 10868669Abstract: A method includes encrypting a first message that contains a first public key of a first peer, by using a second public key of a second peer, and decrypting a second message sent from the second peer by using a first private key paired with the first public key. The second message is encrypted at the second peer by using the first public key, and contains an encrypted data encrypted by using the second public key and hashed by using a secret key of the first peer.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.Inventor: Mei-Chien Liu

Patent number: 10855675Abstract: This document discusses designing and managing medical devices that are equipped with software, including a variety of ways of managing the public interest in safety and effectiveness of medical devices that are preferably implemented with open-source software. In one general aspect, a method of updating a medical device is disclosed. The method includes storing a vendor certificate in the device, and receiving and storing a licensed prescriber certificate in the device. A signed request to update code in the medical device can then be received and this request can be authenticated with one of the certificates, and the code can be updated in the medical device with code from the authenticated update request.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Inventor: Adrian Gropper

Patent number: 10848821Abstract: Method, devices, systems and computer program products are described that improve speed and accuracy of watermark detection from multimedia content, and allow faster and better content recognition. One technique for improving detection of boundaries of an embedded multimedia content segment includes detecting a synchronization header and a full watermark from the multimedia content, constructing a predicted watermark segment that is positioned at a predicted distance from the synchronization header, and comparing the group of candidate watermark symbols obtained from the multimedia content to the first predicted watermark segment to obtain a match. The disclosed techniques enable extraction of watermarks from short content segments, and can utilize a shortened payload design to establish media time during content usage.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Inventors: Rade Petrovic, Joseph M.

Patent number: 10848315Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for leaving evidence of a contract on a blockchain with a simple method while having agreements made among the involved parties, maintaining the mode of one electronic signature per transaction, and maintaining credibility. Transactions of an issuing-party terminal, an agreeing-party terminal, and an agreeing-party terminal involved in contract agreement are linked as a chain, and the agreeing-party terminal at the end generates a transaction directed to the issuing-party terminal who has issued the contract. Each of these terminals previously generates a key pair for encryption of the contract and transmits the encryption key to a terminal which is its transaction sender. Then, this sender terminal encrypts a contract to be included in a transaction of the user of the sender terminal using the encryption key of the receiver of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Hiroki Watanabe, Akihito Akutsu, Yasuhiko Miyazaki, Atsushi Nakadaira, Shigeru Fujimura
