A system and method are provided for identifying discrete locations and/or sections within a pre-existing media file without modifying the media file. The discrete locations and/or sections can be associated with one or more user-selected descriptors. The system and method allows for the identifying information to be communicated to consumers of the media file and the media file to be selectively rendered by the consumer using the identifying information, thus allowing a consumer to render only the portion of the media file identified or render from a given discrete location in the media file. In an embodiment, the system and method can be performed without modifying the media file itself and thus no derivative work is created.

A system and method for tagging discrete locations and/or sections within a pre-existing media file with images without modifying the media file are disclosed. The system includes a rendering device that receives user tag selections and creates information that can be used when rendering the media file in the future. When a tagged media file is rendered by a device capable of interpreting the information, the images are concurrently displayed on the interface of the rendering device. The discrete locations and/or sections can be associated with one or more user-selected image files. In an embodiment, the system and method can be performed without modifying the media file itself and thus no derivative work is created.

The present invention provides methods and systems to enable fast, efficient, and scalable means for fingerprinting textual information using word runs. The present system receives textual information and provides algorithms to convert the information into representative fingerprints. In one embodiment, the fingerprints are recorded in a repository to maintain a database of an organization's secure data. In another embodiment, textual information entered by a user is verified against the repository of fingerprints to prevent unauthorized disclosure of secure data. This invention provides approaches to allow derivative works (e.g., different ordering of words, substitution of words with synonyms, etc.) of the original information to be detected at the sentence level or even at the paragraph level. This invention also provides means for enhancing storage and resource efficiencies by providing approaches to optimize the number of fingerprints generated for the textual information.

A method, system, and device for handling creation of derivative works and for assigning usage rights to the derivative works for enforcing usage rights associated with digital works, including detecting computer-related events that are indicative of manipulations of an original work for creating a derivative work; and maintaining a history of information, including at least one of rights associated with electronic content related to each of the events, origin of electronic content related to each of the events, and event related information that can be used to determine the origin of and rights associated with electronic content.

A system and method which allows authors to automate the licensing and distribution process to enable their works to be safely included in derivative works, regardless of the industry.

A system for preventing accurate disassembly of computer code. Such code masking, referred to as “obfuscation,” is useful to prevent unwanted parties from making copies of an original author's software, obtaining valuable information from the software for purposes of breaking into a program, stealing secrets, making derivative works, etc. The present invention uses assembly-language instructions so as to confuse the disassembler to produce results that are not an accurate representation of the original assembly code. In one embodiment, a method is provided where an interrupt, or software exception instruction, is used to mask several subsequent instructions. The instruction used can be any instruction that causes the disassembler to assume that one or more subsequent words, or bytes, are associated with the instruction. The method, instead, jumps directly to the bytes assumed associated with the instruction and executes those bytes for a different purpose. A preferred embodiment works with a popular Microsoft “ASM” assembler language and “DASM” disassembler. The instructions used to achieve the obfuscation include “INT” instructions. Using this approach up to 17 bytes of obfuscation can be achieved with five instructions. Each instruction remains obfuscated until executed and returns to an obfuscated state afterwards.

Example embodiments described herein relate to an online social content collaboration platform that allows user devices to access content and create derivative works of content. A graph structure defines content and derivative works as nodes and relationships or links between the content and derivative works as edges. The content and relationships for the content may be displayed to user device as an interface of visual elements in the form of the graph structure of nodes and edges. Example embodiments described herein relate to an online social content collaboration platform that allows user devices to access content and create derivative works of content and get rewarded. The rewards can be cryptographic tokens.

An access manager that detects a derivative work and automatically transfers digital access rights associated with an original work to the derivative work executes on a computing device. The access manager detects data to be written to a storage device and generates a new file signature for the data. The access manager compares the new file signature to existing file signatures, where the file signatures include piecewise signatures. When at least one of the piecewise signatures from the new file signature matches one of the piecewise signatures in the existing file signatures, the access manager determines that the new data to be written to the storage device is a derivative work generated from the existing file. The access rights associated with the existing file signature are copied to the new file such that the file access rights associated with the original work are passed on to the derivative work.

A derivative work is encrypted using master keys generated from source data extracted from digital sources used to create the derivative work. A software application permits a mix artist to encrypt and stream a derivative work to a worldwide web server, where it is made available to consumers. A software application permits the consumers to acquire and decrypt an encrypted derivative work if the consumer has possession of a corresponding digital source for each of the digital sources used to encrypt the derivative work.

Numerous methods of exchange are facilitated in which a physical copy of a previously-manufactured work embodying intellectual property in some tangible form, such as a physical book, are replaced with an electronic or digital version of similar intellectual property work, a replacement work or a derivative work. The physical item of manufacture is thereafter removed from the marketplace, or some aspect of its perceived private property value is diminished or destroyed physically or effectively so that physical items of tangible property are replaced by electronic or digital versions. To the extent first-sale doctrine under copyright law applies to physical or electronic versions of items, first-sale private property rights may be preserved for the benefit of the private property owner, even though the replacement electronic version of the work may be licensed, not sold, to the user through a disclosed mechanism of exchange.

A derivative work is encrypted using a cipher created from digital sources used to create the derivative work. A software application made available for download permits a mix artist to generate a derivative-encrypted work from a derivative work that the mix artist has created using one or more of the digital sources. The derivative-encrypted work is streamed to a worldwide web server, where it is made available for download by consumers for a fee. The software application is also available for download by the consumers and permits the consumers to purchase and download any available derivative-encrypted work. However, the derivative-encrypted works can only be decrypted if the consumer has possession of a digital source for each of the source art works associated with the digital sources used to create the derivative work.

The invention discloses a miniature exhaust-free hydrogen peroxide synthesizing device and method and belongs to the technical field of chemical reaction.
