Filed:

Jul 8, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/190908

Inventors:

Joseph S. Ng - Montebello CA, US
Ismael Rodriguez - El Segundo CA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 11/30
H04K 1/00
G06F 1/26

US Classification:

726 34, 713189, 380258, 726 35

Abstract:

One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital cinema system. A configuration of an exhibitor system (that has one or more components) of a digital cinema system is stored. Each of the one or more components is then polled (e. g. , using radio frequency) based on the configuration. A determination is then made regarding the integrity of the exhibitor system based on the configuration and results of the polling. Further, a global positioning system (GPS) location and an identification (of a component) is received from an exhibitor system component. Based on the identification and the polling, a determination may be made regarding whether the identification is for an unauthorized component and consequently the location of the component for initiating enforcement action.

International Classification:

H04N 7/16
H04N 1/46
H04N 5/222
H04N 3/38

US Classification:

380228, 713171

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to securely distribute digital media content from a first entity to a second entity through an intermediate entity. A studio token, comprising information utilized to generate a first key, is generated and distributed to the first entity. A theater token, comprising information utilized to generate a second key, is also generated and then distributed to the second entity. A data file is accepted from the first entity. The data file comprises the media content encrypted according to the first key generated from the studio token, and an authorization header that provides information utilized to generate the second key. The data file is further encrypted according to a third key wherein such further encryption comprises adding a new header to the encrypted media content. The encrypted data file is then distributed to the second entity.

US Classification:

726 34, 726 35, 713189, 713194, 380258, 709224

Abstract:

One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital cinema system. A digital cinema system utilizes an exhibitor system (that has one or more components) to display media content. A configuration of the exhibitor system is stored in the exhibitor system. The integrity of the configuration is then determined by querying each of the components. Software agents on each of the components respond to the query. Based on the configuration and the responses received, the integrity of the exhibitor system is determined.

Appl. No.:

10/419490

Inventors:

Ismael Rodriguez - El Segundo CA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382100, 380277

Abstract:

A visible first watermark and invisible second and third watermarks are embedded in digital media content, in order to protect the media content from piracy. The visible first watermark protects the media content during distribution and storage, while the invisible second and third watermarks are embedded in to identify an owner and displaying entity, respectively. The second and third watermark keys can be used to detect the associated watermarks for forensic purposes. The first, second and third watermark keys are symmetric keys. A distribution entity embeds the visible first watermark in the media content using the first watermark key and embeds an invisible second watermark in the media content using the second watermark key. The distribution entity transmits the media content with the embedded visible first watermark and invisible second watermark to a displaying entity, wherein the displaying entity removes the visible first watermark from the media content using the first watermark key and embeds the invisible third watermark in the media content using the third watermark key.

Abstract:

In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods described herein provide for transferring data over one or more networks. A storage area network is adapted to communicate with the one or more networks. A first component is adapted to route data to and from the storage area network. A second component is adapted to route data to and from the storage area network. A gateway component is adapted to control the routing of data between the first and second components and the storage area network. The storage area network is adapted to separate metadata from the data and store the metadata in a secure server positioned behind the gateway component.
