Filed:

Aug 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/512798

Inventors:

Robert Vaughn - Albuquerque NM, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04L 9/28

US Classification:

380 28, 380 56

Abstract:

Methods for encrypting a clear text message into hidden cipher text are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention may be used to encrypt clear text into a contextual altered form that does not appear to an observer to be cipher text. Embodiments of the present invention produce encrypted text without using a mathematical model of prime number factorization. Embodiments of the present invention provide better security by producing better quality cipher text output than known linguistic steganography approaches.

Appl. No.:

11/478570

Inventors:

Robert L. Vaughn - Albuquerque NM, US
Richard P. Maguire - Albuquerque NM, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06K 9/32
G09G 5/02

US Classification:

382218, 382299, 345698

Abstract:

Digital image processing of a low resolution source image to produce a high resolution result image may be accomplished by partitioning the low resolution source image into a plurality of low resolution image parts; for each low resolution image part, comparing the low resolution image part to low resolution reference images to determine at least one most similar low resolution reference image; determining if the most similar low resolution reference images are related to one another; and constructing a high resolution result image based at least in part on high resolution images corresponding to related most similar low resolution reference images.

Inventors:

Robert Vaughn - Albuquerque NM, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206000

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and system provide a keyed email address (“KEA”) framework designed to reduce SPAM. In one embodiment, a recipient's email server may generate and/or allow the recipient to generate and maintain various keys to authenticate incoming email for the recipient. These keys may be manually or automatically provided to various authorized entities. These entities may thereafter send email to the recipient, including the key, and the recipient's email account may verify the key as authentic and thereafter associate the key uniquely with the incoming email address or domain. Thereafter, if an incoming email includes this key, the email address or domain of the incoming email will also be checked to determine whether the email address matches the assigned key. If not, the email may be tagged as suspicious or potential SPAM. Incoming emails without keys and/or that do not respond to requests for keys may also be tagged as potential SPAM.

International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340 101

Abstract:

Methods of radiofrequency identification and analysis are disclosed. In one aspect, a method may include transmitting a wireless interrogation signal. Corresponding wireless response signals may be received from each of a plurality of transponders. Then, analysis of interrelationships between different types of objects each associated with one of the transponders may be performed. Software and apparatus to perform such methods are also disclosed. In another aspect, a method of radiofrequency identification may include accessing additional information about one or more objects that are each associated with a different one of the transponders from a peripheral database.

Abstract:

Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with proof of location are disclosed herewith. In embodiments, an apparatus may include communication circuitry configured to communicate with one or more external servers jointly hosting a distributed ledger of proximal device records, and posting circuitry configured to post records of sharing of a proximity record of the apparatus with one or more other apparatuses located proximally to the apparatus, and records of receipts of proximity records of the other proximally located apparatuses from the other proximally located apparatuses, into the distributed ledger. The proximity records posted into the distributed ledger may be used to prove the apparatus's location. Additionally, other embodiments, including a participating host server of a distributed ledger or a server of a product/service provider, are also disclosed.

Abstract:

Technologies for cloud-based media search and editing include a video editor configured to build a media query and associate the media query with a dynamic content slot of a media program. When generating video output based on the media program, the video editor transmits the media query to a cloud analytics server and receives search results identifying one or more media clips produced by a number of mobile computing devices. The video editor may display a list of clips for selection by the user or may automatically include one of the clips in the output. The cloud analytics server transmits an acceptance policy defining criteria for acceptable media, based on the media query, to the mobile computing devices. The mobile computing devices configure capture settings according to the acceptance policy and may display a user interface to assist the user in capturing acceptable media. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
