The present invention includes an apparatus, method and system for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content. Either the adaptive circuit or encrypted, selected content has a unique identifier. In one of the preferred method and system embodiments in which the adaptive circuit has the unique identifier, a request for the selected content is received, along with the unique identifier, such as by a network server. The selected content is then encrypted, based upon the unique identifier, to form encrypted content. Configuration information for the adaptive circuit, corresponding to the unique identifier and the encrypted content, is generated to form corresponding configuration information. A service provider, such as through a network server, transfers the encrypted content and the corresponding configuration information to the adaptive circuit having the unique identifier, which may then be configured for use of the selected content. As a consequence, the present invention creates adaptive hardware configurations which are uniquely coupled to the selected content.
A method for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content, the adaptive circuit having a unique identifier, the method comprising:
A system for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content, the adaptive circuit having a unique identifier, the system comprising:
A method for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content, the selected content having been encrypted to form encrypted content, the encrypted content having a unique identifier, the method comprising:
A system for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit which is inseparable from selected content, the selected content having been encrypted to form encrypted content, the encrypted content having a unique identifier, the system comprising:
An adaptive integrated circuit, the adaptive integrated circuit having a unique identifier, the adaptive integrated circuit adapted to receive encrypted content and corresponding configuration information, the adaptive integrated circuit comprising:
An adaptive integrated circuit, the adaptive integrated circuit adapted to receive encrypted content and corresponding configuration information, the encrypted content having a unique identifier, the adaptive integrated circuit comprising:
A method for encrypting an executable module, the executable module having configuration information combined with selected content, the configuration information for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit for a corresponding operating mode for use of the selected content, the method comprising:
A system for encrypting an executable module, the executable module having configuration information combined with selected content, the configuration information for generating a configuration of an adaptive circuit for a corresponding operating mode for use of the selected content, the system comprising:
