A video network includes public kiosks having digital storage capacity. Centralized inventory control manages the video files stored at individual kiosks or network LANs. A user requests a multimedia file for download, and selects various ancillary files and control features, such as languages, subtitles, control of nudity, etc. The requested file is encrypted according to an encryption key, watermarked, and downloaded from a high-speed port of a public kiosk to a hand-held proprietary high speed memory device of a user. Payment is received at the time of request or at the time of download, and royalties are distributed by the video network to copyright holders. Computer applications or playback devices allow users to store and/or play video files that have been downloaded to a hand-held device while managing and enforcing digital rights of content providers through the watermarking and/or encryption.

A system and method for paper-based, automated completion of forms allows a user charged with filling out multiple forms containing some common information to write each unique piece of information one time, and the system generates a set of completed forms with the required information on each form with no change to the use or structure of the current forms. The control module is operable on a processor to determine a mapping between common fields on multiple forms or multiple pages of the same form, copy information written in a field on one form to equivalent fields on other forms, and produce a set of completed forms. The system is computationally simple and independent of language because these operations can be performed without having to understand, translate or convert the writing. Furthermore, there is no loss of security or privacy beyond the use of paper forms because these operations can be performed without access to a centralized database and without connectivity to other systems. The system is advantageous because it does not change paper based workflows since the inputs and outputs of this system are paper.

A mobile wireless device programmed with software which provides a trusted user interface for the device by allowing the content of a secure screen memory to be modifiable only by authorised applications. Normally, the entire screen memory address is public information, making the entire screen memory fully available to any application; hence, even sensitive dialogs would use screen memory which can in theory be looked at by malicious software, enabling that malicious code to grab PIN data etc. or corrupt a trusted user interface. But with the present invention, unauthorised applications are prevented from accessing the data displayed by the secure frame buffer because they are able to access only the non-secure screen memory. Hence, malicious applications cannot retrieve data from a trusted dialog or compromise that data. Further, as the present invention is a software only solution, it requires no new hardware per se—the only requirement is that components (e.g. a software window server; a video chip etc.) can select content from different parts of screen memory—i.e. secure and non-secure frame buffers.

A method and system for employing Common Information Model (CIM) resources within a data processing system. A request is received for an operation with respect to CIM resources, and a determination is made as to whether the request can be fulfilled locally or remotely. In response to a determination to fulfill the request locally, the request is delegated to local CIM object manager (CIMOM) functionality to obtain result data, e.g., from a local repository or from a locally managed provider. In response to a determination to fulfill the request remotely, the request is delegated to the one or more remote CIMOMs, and the result data is aggregated from a plurality of remote CIMOMs. The result data is then returned to the originator of the request.

A method and system for locating a network device in an emergency situation including public information. Current physical location information is obtained for a network device every time it registers on a network or moves to a new physical location. The current physical location is sent and received in an encrypted format to and from the network device. When the network device initiates an emergency message (e.g. 911, E911, NG911, text-to-911, 112, etc.) based on an emergency event (e.g., weather, crime, fire, natural disaster, medical, terrorist, military, etc.), the emergency message includes the encrypted current physical location information for the network device. The current physical location information is decrypted. Additional information is collected from one or more public location information sources for the current physical location of the network device. The emergency message with the additional information is routed in real-time to an appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The appropriate PSAP is immediately notified in real-time so emergency responders (e.g., police, fire, medical, etc.) can be dispatched to the current physical location of the network device.
