A system and method for performing a verification process of media content comprising, for example, receiving, via a digital vault, identification information from a non-fungible token (NFT) creator user or owner user of an NFT, wherein the NFT creator user initiates a minting process that creates the NFT for exchange on an NFT marketplace of the digital vault, and wherein the NFT is associated with a container file comprising media content submitted by a first user; verifying, via the digital vault, the identification information from the NFT creator user by comparing the identification information with stored user information at the digital vault; transmitting, via the digital vault, a confirmation code to the NFT creator user; and upon receiving the confirmation code, providing diligence information during a verification process to an NFT collector user in the NFT marketplace of the digital vault in verifying authenticity of the NFT creator user.

A system and method for initiating a royalty percentage calculation with a minting process of a non-fungible token (NFT) associated with media content comprising, for example, identifying, via a digital vault, media content stored and accessible through the digital vault in a request from an NFT creator to utilize the media content in the NFT; initiate the minting process with the media content that converts digital data associated with the media content into digital assets recorded on a blockchain; storing the digital data in a distributed ledger or decentralized database that cannot be edited, modified, or deleted; upon completion of the minting process, initiating one or more processes associated with the media content or the NFT in accordance with royalty percentages of the media content; and transmitting an alert to the NFT creator and rights holder associated with the one or more payment transactions to the accounts.

An antenna direction adjustment apparatus (10) according to the present invention includes: auxiliary unit (14) for an adjustment of a direction of an antenna; acquisition unit (11) configured to acquire first information related to a first radio communication apparatus, and second information related to a second radio communication apparatus configured to perform opposite radio communication with the first radio communication apparatus; determination unit (12) configured to determine whether a use license of the auxiliary unit (14) is valid based on a combination of the first information and the second information; and instruction unit (13) configured to provide an instruction to operate the auxiliary unit (14) when it is determined that the use license is valid. This configuration makes it possible to provide an antenna direction adjustment apparatus capable of appropriately limiting an adjustment of a direction of an antenna by a license.

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for detecting and preventing digital media piracy. In example aspects, a machine learning model is trained on a dataset related to digital media content. Input data may then be collected by a data collection engine and provided to a multimedia processor. The multimedia processor may extract multimedia features (e.g., audio, visual, etc.) and recognized patterns from the input data and provide the extracted multimedia features to a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model may compare the extracted features to the model, and a confidence value may be generated. The confidence value may be compared to a confidence threshold. If the confidence value is equal to or exceeds the confidence threshold, then the input data may be classified as pirated digital media. Remedial action response(s) may subsequently be deployed to thwart the piracy of the digital media.

A system and method for identifying unauthorized uploaded content that has been uploaded before a validated live reference stream has been ingested is disclosed herein. The live reference stream is compared against the indexed uploaded content repeatedly as the live reference stream is received. The matching process is done once per a time period until a match meeting a minimum match duration threshold is identified. The match is then determined to be unauthorized, and a claim is issued against the unauthorized uploaded content. The time period can be based on a utility based analysis that factors the computational costs of repeated matching versus the diminishing value of the live reference stream as time progresses.

A method of software launch regression testing comprises monitoring an operational parameter of an existing application running on a plurality of client devices and determining a probability interval from the operational parameter of the existing application. A candidate update application is then launched to a subset of the plurality of client devices. The method then proceeds with monitoring a corresponding operational parameter of the candidate update version running on the subset of client devices, determining if the corresponding operational parameter of the candidate update version falls within the probability interval, and, based on the probability interval falling within the probability interval, providing a testing pass notification.

A method for verifying system functions of an oxygen reduction system, said functions being used during operation. The oxygen reduction system reduces or maintains an oxygen concentration level in a protection region by supplying inert gas and to monitor or increase the oxygen concentration level, which has been previously reduced in the protection region or in a monitoring region. The method comprises: Detecting system functions being used during the operation of the oxygen reduction system. generating a license data set which contains licenses used by the system functions being used. reading a verification data set provided on a storage medium, wherein the verification data set contains at least one existing license— determining a license violation if each license used is not contained in the verification data set. outputting an error message, or deactivating at least one system function if a license violation is determined.

A system and method for identifying unauthorized uploaded content that has been uploaded before a validated live reference stream has been ingested is disclosed herein. The live reference stream is compared against the indexed uploaded content repeatedly as the live reference stream is received. The matching process is done once per a time period until a match meeting a minimum match duration threshold is identified. The match is then determined to be unauthorized, and a claim is issued against the unauthorized uploaded content. The time period can be based on a utility based analysis that factors the computational costs of repeated matching versus the diminishing value of the live reference stream as time progresses.

The present invention includes embodiments of systems and methods for addressing the interdependencies that result from integrating the computing resources of multiple hardware and software providers. The integrated, multi-provider cloud-based platform of the present invention employs abstraction layers for communicating with and integrating the resources of multiple back-end hardware providers, multiple software providers and multiple license servers. These abstraction layers and associated functionality free users not only from having to implement and configure provider-specific protocols, but also from having to address interdependencies among selected hardware, software and license servers on a job-level basis or at other levels of granularity.

A system and method for media content management include determining, via a digital vault, that a first stakeholder is authorized to sell a salable content item by holding rights in the salable content item; determining, via the digital vault, whether consent for a nonfungible token (NFT) transaction of any of the stakeholders other than the first stakeholder is required; and the digital vault preventing the sale of the salable content item until consent for the sale is received from the stakeholders from whom consent is required.
