International Classification:

H04N 1413

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

A system and method for providing on demand access to information related to a movie while the movie is being presented to a user, where the movie was generated from the movie related information, are described. The system operates by presenting the movie to the user, and then receiving from the user a query pertaining to the movie. The system determines a frame of the movie that was being presented to the user when the user issued the query (the system may extract this information from the query, or may extract this information from the movie itself). The system identifies, as specified by the query, portions of the movie related information relating to the frame, and retrieves those portions of the movie related information. These retrieved portions of the movie related information are presented to the user. Also discussed is a manager to enable users to create personalized versions of movies, and personalized collections of items.

Appl. No.:

8/939682

Inventors:

Henry Martin Gladney - Saratoga CA
James Allen Reimer - Morgan Hill CA

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 10

Abstract:

A method and system are provided for controlling a client's access to a protected element, in which the protected element is contained in a protected resource which includes a data manager. The invention provides efficient access control for existing data elements while requiring only minimal changes to existing software components. In response to a request for access to the protected element the data manager sends an authorization checking request to a protecting resource. The protecting resource, which is in a distributed arrangement with the protected resource, determines, based on an access control element which can be associated with one or more protected elements, whether the client has permission to be provided the requested access to the protected element. It then sends an access control message (e. g. YES/NO) to the data manager based on the determination, and optionally send explanatory information if access is denied.
