20080208755 | Method and an apparatus to provide interoperability between different protection schemes - Some embodiments of a method and an apparatus to provide interoperability between different digital content protection schemes have been presented. In one embodiment, a first copy of digital content encrypted using a first protection scheme is received from a user. In response to a request from the user, it is verified that the user is a rightful owner of the first copy without decrypting the first copy. A second copy of the digital content encrypted using a second protection scheme is sent to the user if the user is a rightful owner of the first copy. | 08-28-2008 |
20080301149 | Portable media player recommendation system - A method and apparatus for proving a portable device recommendation system. The method may include storing, on a portable device, preferences of a user of the portable device with respect to media content, and facilitating sharing of desirable media content between this user and a user of another portable device based on the user preferences. | 12-04-2008 |
20080313475 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TAMPER RESISTANT FILES - Embodiments of the present invention provide a tamper proof file system. In particular, the present invention utilizes a virtual block device that is coupled with a real block device and a private/public key pair. The virtual block device receives the original data and then digitally signs it with the private key. The virtual block device then passes the digitally signed data to the real block device for storage. In order to retrieve or verify the data, the virtual block device may provide the public key and an acknowledgment. The acknowledgment may include a hash of the public key. The virtual block device is configured to discard the private key and to be removed from the system based on a finite lifespan. | 12-18-2008 |
20080313616 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TESTING TOOL WITH COMPARATIVE TESTING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a multi-input comparative testing tool. The present invention looks at the internal structure of the software being tested and compares the two pairs of internal structures. In the present invention, the testing tool is capable of receiving multiple program code files or data files as its input. For each program code file, the testing tool generates a collection of problem objects and compares pairs of the problem collections with each other. The present invention may also run on data files having program code. For example, the present invention is capable of testing extensible markup language (XML) files to determine if they validate against a schema. Problem objects that are in both collections are identified and set aside. The remaining problem objects are then marked either as being resolved or new depending in which collection they exist. | 12-18-2008 |
20090222786 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING PROGRESS NOTIFICATION IN SOFTWARE LOOP - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating a progress indicator in a programming loop. In embodiments, a programming language or application programming interface (API) can contain a loop operator that registers the occurrence of each iteration in a loop, and passes that information to a user interface to display an indicator of loop progress to a programmer or user. The progress notification can be a thermometer-style graph, a progress bar, or other graphical or other display representing the progress of the programming or process loop. In embodiments, the progress indicator and related information can be dumped to a log file, to create a record of loop progress to review and perform debugging operations, in the event of a crash during execution of the loop. | 09-03-2009 |
