Systems and methods are provided for performing diagnostic testing for multiple motor drives operating in parallel. In one embodiment, the diagnostic testing may involve determining which of the multiple motor drives are in operation and communicating the active configuration of motor drives to testing circuitry. The testing circuitry generates an enable input signal transmitted to the transistor gates in each of the active motor drives. The testing circuitry also generates a power supply input signal transmitted to a DC to DC converter in each of the active motor drives. The responses to the enable input signal and the power supply input signal are measured to determine safety compliance.

A system and method for discovering devices connected to a communications network, such as the Internet, includes an agent and installation of the agent on a communications device of the network. The agent is installed on a delegate device, which may, but need not necessarily, be an administration device for the network. The delegate device discovers all other devices of the network, via the agent. The agent is also installed on each other networked device, either by direct installation or by pushing the agent to each other device by communications over the network from the delegate device after discovery. The delegate device, which may be the same device that discovers or another device so designated by delegation, deploys the agent on the other devices, including by delegating authority and capabilities to dictate operations by the other devices. The delegate device can delegate to each other device the ability to discover other networked devices, or not, and also can delegate other functions of the agent once deployed on the other devices. The delegate device (or devices, as the case may be), and the other devices on which are deployed the agent, are linked in communication over the network, for example, to communicate via TCP/IP protocols. The agent of the delegate device controls by delegation to the agent of the other devices, the permissible operations of the agent on the other devices. The agent of each device can be delegated authority and capability, by communications from the delegate device (which may, but need not necessarily be, an administration device for the network), to automatedly or otherwise download software patches and perform security compliance operations at each device.

Also, techniques for facilitating security compliance of a computer program product include providing an encoded version of a computer program product, and providing an installation product builder for the computer program product, wherein the installation product builder creates an installation product in a computer storage medium using a client identity and the encoded version of the computer program product during a registration process, and wherein the created installation product comprises an entitlement file to facilitate security compliance of the computer program product.

A movie anti-piracy system with sensing and reporting is provided. A movie projector projects a light image to reflect off of a screen, while an infrared energy projection source generates an infrared energy pattern which is reflected off the screen (or otherwise projected) in the same field of view as the light images reflecting from the screen. Infrared energy sensors are positioned in the seating area of the theater. The infrared sensors provide sensed signals respectively to a sensor response controller. The controller is responsive to the sensor signals to provide an infrared status (and other data) signal output to a control center. The control center responds to the infrared status and other data signals, from one or a plurality of theaters, and provides for reporting of information (such as security compliance, attendance, etc.) to one or multiple reporting sites (such as movie distribution studios, etc.). In a preferred embodiment, the control center determines whether the infrared sensors or other data indicate violation of anti-piracy protection within a theater and provides reporting on the status and data. If a violation is indicated, then the control center sends a violation signal such as to the sensor response controller which can trigger an alarm and/or activate a violation inhibit output to shut down the movie projector. This shut down of the projector is an optional feature. In a preferred embodiment, the shut down can be overridden with the entry of an appropriate security code. A data entry subsystem permits entry of additional data, which is communicated as signal to the sensor response controller. The controller provides for processing the data from the data entry and communicating to the control center. The additional data can include ticket sales for one or more movies, attendance data, security code, etc. In a preferred embodiment, there are a plurality of theater systems, each of which has an equivalent anti-piracy system installed, each providing reporting back to the control center which provides overall system control.

The present invention discloses a multi-channel network payment method. The method comprises the following steps that: (1) a consumer user initials a network payment request to a multi-channel network payment system through an APP or a system with a payment service requirement, (2) the multi-channel network payment system receives the network payment request initiated by the consumer user and sends the network payment request to a telecommunications network operator or a third-party payment platform, (3) the telecommunications network operator or the third-party payment platform initiates payment verification to the consumer user, and (4) after the security compliance verification of the telecommunications network operator or the third-party payment platform is passed, a network payment deduction operation is executed. The invention also provides a multi-channel network payment system with the application of the above method. According to the multi-channel network payment method and system, the network payment can be completed through the multi-channel network payment system, the service complexity of the network payment is reduced, and thus the network payment is more convenient and fast.
