| 20080313741 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED COPYING AND MOVING OF CONTENT BETWEEN DEVICES AND DOMAINS BASED ON CONDITIONAL ENCRYPTION OF CONTENT KEY DEPENDING ON USAGE STATE - A system and method is disclosed for allowing content providers to protect against widespread copying of their content, while enabling them to give their customers more freedom in the way they use the content. In accordance with one embodiment, content providers identify their content as protected by watermarking the content. Consumers use compliant devices to access protected content. All of a user's compliant devices, or all of a family's devices, can be organized into an authorized domain. This authorized domain is used by content providers to create a logical boundary in which they can allow users increased freedom to use their content. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20090183195 | Regulatory Environment Adaptation Layer for Content Protection - Aspects of the invention provide apparatuses, computer media, and methods for supporting post-delivery content protection systems, which are used to protect the content of free-to-air (FTA) or clear-to-air (CTA) digital broadcasts after reception against unauthorized use such as Internet redistribution. A receiver circuit of a receiver device obtains a broadcast stream, which contains usage restriction signaling and content. A regulatory determination circuit obtains regulations for the distribution of the content from a regulation database system based on an apparatus parameter such as the country that the receiver device is located. The regulatory determination circuit further obtains the usage state of the content from the regulations and usage restriction signaling by mapping each signaling state to a usage state. The content at the acquisition point is protected in accordance with the usage state. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090202079 | Method, apparatus and computer program product for providing mobile broadcast service protection - An apparatus for providing mobile broadcast service protection may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an indication of device groupings defining at least a first group of devices and a second group of devices in which the first and second groups are defined on the basis of a device characteristic, communicate a first security key providing access to a first message stream associated with a mobile broadcast service to the first group of devices, and communicate a second security key providing access to a second message stream associated with the same mobile broadcast service to the second group of devices. Methods and computer program products corresponding to the apparatus are also provided from the perspective of a network device and mobile terminal. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100008252 | Proximity Enforcement in Heterogeneous Network Environments - The invention provides an enforcement mechanism for limiting the propagation of content to a predefined proximity in a heterogeneous network. The protection mechanism determines the distance associated with wireless links of the heterogeneous networks and verifies that the distance is within the predefined proximity limits. The distance may be measured by evaluating the signal strength of received signals. The protection mechanism further uses round trip time determinations to enforce the proximity limits on wired or unknown segments of the heterogeneous network. Specifically, the round trip time associated with a wired or unknown segment may be determined using the round trip time associated with the wireless segments and the total round trip time of the network as a whole. The round trip time of the wired or unknown segment is then compared to a round trip time limit associated with the proximity requirement for distributing content. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20100186090 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR A CONTENT PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING PERSONAL CONTENT - An apparatus for providing a content protection system for protecting personal content may include a processor configured to receive an indication of personal content submitted for inclusion in a content protection system, and determine admissibility of the personal content to the content protection system based at least in part on indicia associated with a source device from which the personal content originated. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100333209 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING PROTECTED CONTENT TO ONE OR MORE DEVICES BY REACQUIRING THE CONTENT FROM A SERVICE - An apparatus for providing protected content to a device(s) by reacquisition of the content from an entity of a service may include a processor and a memory storing executable computer program code that causes the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining one or more Digital Rights Management (DRM) formats that one or more devices support in response to receipt of an indication(s). The computer program code may cause the apparatus to arrange data identifying the devices based at least in part on the DRM formats that correspond to the devices. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to facilitate receipt of content in at least one DRM format that at least one of the devices supports in response to a determination that a first device was selected to provide the content to a device for rendering. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided. | 12-30-2010 |
