An embodiment is a technique to provide enhancement functionality to a multimedia device. A system interface provides interface to a system processor embedded in a device having multimedia capabilities. A communication interface provides connection to a communication network for accessing to an application source. An application processor provides an enhancement functionality to the device utilizing the application source and the multimedia capabilities.
System And Method For Using Digital Signatures To Assign Permissions
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for setting permission levels is described. First, an application and digital signature is received by logic performing the permission assessment. Then, a determination is made as to what permission level for accessing resources is available to the application based on the particulars of the digital signature. Herein, the digital signature being signed with a private key corresponding to a first public key identifies that the application is assigned a first level of permissions, while the digital signature being signed with a private key corresponding to a second public key identifies the application is assigned a second level of permissions having greater access to the resources of an electronic device than provided by the first level of permissions.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for arbitrating client application access to at least one resource by determining two or more client applications of a plurality of client applications to grant simultaneous access to the at least one resource. By this, data and resources are exposed to multiple client applications and simultaneous multiple use of resources by separate multiple client applications can be achieved.

Abstract:
A user can define a gesture-based input mode with respective input value to establish an authentication protocol to unlock a computer or govern other computer behavior. As an alternative or in addition, the user can define a second input mode based on face recognition plus IR sensing satisfying a threshold to ensure a live person is being imaged for authentication, and/or face recognition plus a particular facial expression such as a smile and wink.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for a client application to provide a video stream as well as data regarding the video stream to an output device, where the data is generated from a process performed at a layer lower than the client application layer. By this, multiple client applications can simultaneously utilize the data generated by the lower-level process while at least one client application can effect streaming of the video stream to an output device.

725 10
Abstract:
A computer includes at least one processor and at least one computer readable storage medium accessible to the processor. The medium bears instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to receive at least one image of at least one viewer of a display on which content is presented. The instructions also cause the processor to generate a signal representative of at least one expression of the viewer made at or around the time the content was presented based on the image of the viewer, and also to receive metadata identifying the content. The instructions then cause the processor to associate the metadata identifying the content with the at least one expression of the viewer.
