Music identification system
InactiveUS6941275B1Provide informationMetadata audio data retrievalSpecific information broadcast systemsPaymentThe Internet
The present invention relates to a music identification / purchasing system, specifically to a method for marking the time and the name of the radio station in portable device such as a key holder, watch, cellular phone, beeper or the like which will allow the user to learn via internet or regular telephone the name of the song, artist and / or music company by matching the stored data with broadcast archive. The system will allow for purchase of the full length of the identified music item or related music. An alternate embodiment provides the listener with convenient means to record a segment of the music in which he / she is interested. The recorded music segment is played back into an apparatus which can identify the song based on the play back and provide the user with information on the identified song such as title, singer or artist, composer, producer, etc., and provide related purchasing information. The user can make selections and provide payment data to the music identification / purchasing system which will result in the selections being delivered to the user by mail.

Group key distribution
InactiveUS6038322AEfficient additionLow costKey distribution for secure communicationPublic key for secure communicationTimestampNetwork addressing
A method for distributing a secret key from a key holder H to intended group members M. The method assumes that during the distribution process each party, a group member M and the key holder H, can decrypt and encrypt exchanged information such that the encrypter knows that the decrypter will be the intended party. The method preferably uses a public key / private key encryption technique in which, for example, a trusted Certificate Authority in a public key infrastructure signs the certificates to provide the public keys involved in the encryption. Alternatively, the method, together with a symmetric cipher, uses a shared secret, established in an authenticated mechanism that is outside the information exchanges of the invention. Additionally, the method uses a strong mixing function that takes several items of data as input and produces a pseudo-random authentication (or digest). Inputs to the mixing function include identity stamps that are generated by each member M and key holder H. These inputs can be the identity of the stamp generator, such as a network address, port, or protocol, a timestamp, and / or a secret value that is known only to the stamp generator. The stamps include information to bind member M if generated by key holder H, and to bind key holder H if generated by member M. Consequently, the invention authenticates each communication exchange between member M and key holder H.

Touchscreen device for controlling a security system
The present invention is a hand held portable remote such as a key fob that allows a user to interact with the security system using a flat panel touch-pad. The touch-pad input allows a user to rapidly select and control a large number of security functions, such as Arm, Disarm, Panic, garage door open, lamp on / off, and lamp dimming control, etc. The security device comprises a housing, a wireless communication port for interface with the security system, a touch-pad input device, and processing circuitry. In order to operate the security device, the user generates a user input by creating a contact motion on the touch-pad input device with a fingertip. The contact motion may consist of a swiping motion, a tapping, or a circular motion. In order to distinguish the contact motion clearly, when the fingertip contact comprises a wider than normal contact, it causes the processing circuitry to not generate an output signal. The security device also comprises an LCD display for displaying alpha numeric control options to a user and LED indicators for indicating the modes of the processing circuitry.

Source identification for unauthorized copies of content
ActiveUS8739308B1Digital data processing detailsAnalogue secracy/subscription systemsKey HolderAuthentication
Systems and methods for authentication generate keys from secret credentials shared between authenticating parties and authenticators. Generation of the keys may involve utilizing specialized information in the form of parameters that are used to specialize keys. Keys and / or information derived from keys held by multiple authorities may be used to generate other keys such that signatures requiring such keys and / or information can be verified without access to the keys. Keys may also be derived to form a hierarchy of keys that are distributed such that a key holder's ability to decrypt data depends on the key's position in the hierarchy relative to the position of a key used to encrypt the data. Key hierarchies may also be used to distribute key sets to content processing devices to enable the devices to decrypt content such that sources or potential sources of unauthorized content are identifiable from the decrypted content.

Gesture control key fob
A key fob for a vehicle that provides a certain vehicle function depending on the motion applied to the key fob. The key fob includes a switch that is pressed when the vehicle operator wishes to transmit a command. Pressing the switch causes a device, such as a camera or accelerometer, to be put in a motion detecting mode, where a subsequent motion of the key fob causes the key fob to transmit a command associated with that motion. For example, the vehicle operator can press the switch on the key fob and make an upward motion, which will cause the vehicle door locks to unlock. Likewise, pressing the switch on the key fob and making a downward motion may cause the door locks to lock.

A token generator such as a keyfob is used to access the computer of an authentication entity different from the authentication entity that issued the token generator. The token generator stores authentication entity identification information identifying the authentication entity that issued the token generator. The token generator causes a user computer to transmit an authentication request including such authentication entity identification information together with a token generated in synchronization with the authentication entity issuing the token generator, so that the authentication request can be routed to the appropriate authentication entity that issued the keyfob for validation. The authentication request can be sent directly to the authentication entity that issued the token generator. The authentication request can also be sent to the authentication entity that issued the token generator via another authentication entity to which the user computer attempts to access.
