A method to securely distribute media content such as Audio or Video with associated media information as part of a media package, in a media distribution system. The media content is encrypted and can be decrypted using a code, process or algorithm called a program key which is further encrypted and stored in the media package as one or both of a service encrypted program key or a locally encrypted program key. When a payment arrangement is not required the program key can be obtained by decrypting the locally encrypted program key, but when a payment arrangement is required, the locally encrypted program key cannot be decrypted or is not present and the service encrypted program key must be decrypted using a decryption message provided by a server after the payment arrangement is made. Media content, the locally encrypted program key and the service encrypted program key are re-encrypted periodically to ensure the security of the media package.

A method to protect the financial rights of tiered media content providers including the original media content owner and media enhancers who add enhancements as additional media information or additional media content to be presented in conjunction with the media content when chosen by user.

The present invention provides methods of doing business and providing services. For example, methods of increasing the revenue of crops are provided. To this end, the method includes the use of a nucleic acid sequences of plant centromeres. This will permit construction of stably inherited recombinant DNA constructs and mini chromosomes which can serve as vectors for the construction of transgenic plant and animal cells.

A method and system of control signaling for a wireless access network includes receiving from a wireless access network a signaling message for a mobile device. The signaling message is in a wireless-specific format. The signaling message is converted to a native format of a call agent to generate a call agent message. The call agent message comprises wireless-specific information of the signaling message.

A method to distribute and monetize media content by associating media content with a cost stored in associated media information within a media package. The user can elect to pay all of the cost, a portion of the cost, or none of the cost. When the user does not pay all of the cost, informative messages paid for by sponsors can be presented as part of the presentation of media content.

A method of distributing media content and associated media information as a media package in a file format embodied as a data structure. A method of presenting media content such as Audio or Video including segmenting the media content into sections and storing data and information about the sections as part of media information with the media content in a media package. The presentation program uses information about the users preferences / profile and location and compares it to section information in order to present certain sections and skip others during the presentation. During presentation, informative messages are inserted between sections if sponsor supported presentation is chosen. Any part of the media content or media information can be embedded in the file or can be linked to from the file and can also be determined using a script or program.

A method of subsidizing the presentation of media content by including informative messages as part of the presentation. The presentation of the media content is paused while the informative message is presented. The cost of the media content is credited to the owner and the payment associated with the informative message is debited from the sponsor of the informative message. Some content is segmented into sections and the informative messages are presented before or after each section. Other content is not segmented, but informative messages are presented at intervals determined by an e-PVR.

A simple management of complex control instruction chains in a blockchain for a specific task for controlling devices is provided. In particular, embodiments of the invention permits a prescribed validity to be assigned for a specific task of blockchain-based device control, the validity being defined by the life cycle (e.g. the period of use) of a device, for example.

A method for managing a software service, and a server are provided in the present disclosure. The method is suitable for operating in a software service system including a service manager. The service manager manages an existing software service in the software service system. The method includes: obtaining a first service deployment descriptor of a new software service by using the service manager, where a format of the first service deployment descriptor is the same as a format of a second service deployment descriptor of the existing software service; defining a data exchange mechanism between the new software service and the existing software service according to the first service deployment descriptor of the new software service by using the service manager; and exchanging data with the new software service according to the data exchange mechanism by the existing software service.

A complex control instruction chains in a blockchain for a specific task for controlling devices to be managed in a simple manner is provided, which permit a prescribed validity to be assigned for a specific task of a blockchain-based device control, the validity being defined by the life cycle (e.g. the period of use) of a device, for example.
