Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method allowing flexibly controlled rendering/playing of digital contents in optional form and allowing a contents owner/developer of the digital contents to define the control. SOLUTION: A publishing user is fed with a publishing certificate from a digital rights management (DRM) server, while the publishing certificate has a public key (PU-OLP) and a corresponding private key PR-OLP encrypted by a public key (PU-ENTITY) related to the publishing user, and (PU-ENTITY(PR-OLP)) is formed. The contents is developed and encrypted according to a contents key (CK), and a right label is encrypted by a public key (PU-DRM) of the DRM server to be formed for encryption using a (CK) for forming (PU-DRM(CK)).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for a protected operating system boot which prevents rogue components from being loaded with an operating system, and thus prevents divulgence of a system key under inappropriate circumstances. SOLUTION: After a portion of a machine startup procedure has occurred, the operating system loader is run, the loader is validated by a validator, and a correct machine state is either verified to exist and/or created. Once the loader has been verified to be a legitimate loader, and the machine state under which it is running is verified to be correct, the loader is carried out. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent rogue components from being loaded together with an operating system, to prevent divulgence of a system key under inappropriate circumstances. SOLUTION: After a portion of a machine startup procedure has occurred, an operating system loader is run, and the loader is validated, and a correct machine state is either verified to exist and/or to be created. Once the loader has been verified to be a legitimate loader and the machine state under which the loader is running is verified to be correct, a loader's future behavior is known to protect against the loading of rogue components that can cause divulgence of the system key. When the loader's behavior is known to be safe for the system key, a validator unseals the system key and provides it to the loader. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
The present invention manages information about support incidents on a computer. The invention gathers information about a support incident, associates the support incident with a support channel, and collects current and historical information from the computer. Implementations of the invention may also package and send the gathered and collected information to a support vendor. The invention comprises methods of performing these tasks, systems that perform them, computer-readable media that contain computer-executable instructions that when executed perform the methods or provide the systems, and data structures stored on computer-readable media having fields that represent software objects useful in performing the methods or providing the systems.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing help contents uses a framework for unified help access that provides a single point of entry through which a user may access help contents relating to all system software and hardware components. The help contents from different sources are organized into a taxonomy structure that allows a user to navigate easily to locate relevant help topics. The contents of the help topics may reside locally or be accessible over the Internet, and may contain static as well as active components. The unified help framework is extensible, allowing the help topics and the taxonomy to be updated by means of update packages. The application for providing the unified presentation of help topics may be launched by a user as well as from programs.
Abstract:
A publishing user publishes digital content and issues to itself a corresponding digital publisher license to allow itself to render the published digital content. The publishing user is supplied with a publishing certificate from a digital rights management (DRM) server, where the publishing certificate allows the publishing user to so publish the digital content and to so issue the publisher license.
