20090288120 | System and Method for Creating Media Bookmarks from Secondary Device - There is disclosed a mobile device, and a method thereof, for creating media bookmarks. The mobile device comprises a user interface, a timing circuit, a processor, and a wireless transceiver. The user interface detects first and second user inputs associated with a media clip, in which the first user input precedes the second user input. The timing circuit provides a time stamp at a given time. The processor determines an end time associated with the media clip corresponding to a time stamp when the first user input is detected, and a start time associated with a media clip based on the second user input. The processor also identifies a broadcast channel associated with the media clip. The wireless transceiver transmits clip information based on the start and end times to a remote server via a wireless communication link. | 11-19-2009 |

20130283361 | IDENTITY VERIFICATION - Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing digital authentication tokens that may be used to verify an identity of a party. A digital authentication token may be determined by iterating a hash function. The input for the first iteration of the hash function may be a function of a password received from a party. Also, a digital authentication token may be determined to be equal to an output of a function composition of a plurality of different hash functions. The argument of the function composition may the function of the password. The function of the password may be performed to increase the entropy of the password. The outputs of the hash functions used may be dependent on (different) salt values. | 10-24-2013 |
20140033248 | INCLUDING INSERTS IN MULTIMEDIA CONTENT - Disclosed are methods and apparatus for including an insert (e.g., an advertisement) in multimedia content. The method comprises receiving, by a receiving module, one or more indications, each indication being an indication that a consumer intends to consume, at some time in the future, the multimedia content. Using the indications, a value of a metric is then determined. The metric is dependent upon the number of received indications or one or more attributes of consumers whom the indications indicate intend to consume the multimedia content. An insert is then selected depending on the determined value for the metric. The selected insert is then included in the multimedia content. | 01-30-2014 |
20140059351 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONNECTING TO A WIRELESS NETWORK USING A VISUAL CODE - A method for connecting a wireless communication device to a wireless network using a visual code includes reading the visual code that includes an access token that is associated with a wireless access point of the wireless network. The method further includes establishing a secure channel with the wireless access point, and sending the access token to the wireless access point over the secure channel, wherein the access token is used for network access control. Moreover, the method includes receiving security key information from the wireless access point over the secure channel, wherein the security key information is different than the access token. Additionally, the method includes establishing a secure link with the wireless access point using the security key information. | 02-27-2014 |
