US 9,990,476 B2 · System for interactive matrix manipulation control of streamed data and media

Abstract

An interactive streaming media and application service provider system can securely stream high resolution, multiple formats of video and data. Different data sets can be included in a single stream. A rights management system controls matrix manipulation and other aspects of user control of the data, including one or more of rendering in various different 2D, 3D, or other media formats, reconstruction and modeling, zooming, frame grab, print frame, parental controls, picture in picture, preventing unauthorized copying, adapting to different data transmission formats, adapting to different resolutions and screen sizes, and actively control functionality contained in embedded data, encryption/decryption. Control can be exerted by an external entity through a user-side virtual machine. Control codes can optionally be embedded in the media, embedded in the user's device, and/or sent separately to the device.

Dependent claims

A device selected from a group consisting of

a computer,
a tablet, and
a smart phone;
the device including
a display,
a network interface,
a persistent computer memory,
an operating system stored on the persistent memory,
a browser operating dependently on the operating system,
a virtual machine in the browser operating independently of the operating system;
the network interface configured to receive
a first streamed data set and
a first Boolean control code
from a network server;
the virtual machine including a matrix manipulation function at least partially under control of the network server, the matrix manipulation function using the first Boolean control code to process the first streamed data set, within the virtual machine, into data, video, or image media;
and
the display configured to present the data, video, or image media processed by the matrix manipulation function of the virtual machine.

14 more elements

A system for providing data, video, or image media while preventing unauthorized viewing or copying of the data, video, or image media, the system comprising:

a network database storing the data, video, or image media;
a network server system configured to encrypt the data, video, or image media into a first data set, a first interface of the network server system further configured to stream a network control code and a second interface of the network server system further configured to stream the first data set to a user device;
and
the user device including
instructions for an operating system and a browser stored on a non-transitory portion of a computer readable medium,
instructions for a matrix manipulation function within a virtual machine stored on a buffer of the computer readable medium, wherein the matrix manipulation function
is at least partially under control of the network server system and
is configured to use the network control code to process the streamed first data set, within the virtual machine, into the data, video, or image media,
a processor executing the instructions for the matrix manipulation function within the virtual machine within the browser and independently of the operating system to process the streamed first data set, and
a display configured to present the data, video, or image media processed by the processor.
