An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomic management of data operations and performance resources on a grid computing system. An autonomic management apparatus includes a monitor module, a policy module, and a regulation module. The monitor module is configured to monitor the grid computing system for a trigger event. The policy module is configured to access one of a plurality of system policies. Each of the plurality of system policies corresponds to an operational control parameter of a system resource of the grid computing system. The regulation module is configured to autonomically regulate the system resource in response to a recognized trigger event according to one of the plurality of system policies. The trigger event may be a prediction trigger event, an initiation trigger event, a regulation trigger event, or a termination trigger event.

When selecting a television program for recording, a user may configure the delivery of the selected television program and associated data and interactive applications to different user equipment devices in a home network, which may have different capabilities. Because the user equipment devices in the home network may have different capabilities, the user may wish to deliver different types and amount of content, different amounts of data, and different versions of interactive applications to the user equipment devices in the home network.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for encoding digital watermarks into content signals. Also disclosed are systems and methods for detecting and/or verifying digital watermarks in content signals. According to one embodiment, a system for encoding of digital watermark information includes: a window identifier for identifying a sample window in the signal; an interval calculator for determining a quantization interval of the sample window; and a sampler for normalizing the sample window to provide normalized samples. According to another embodiment, a system for pre-analyzing a digital signal for encoding at least one digital watermark using a digital filter is disclosed. According to another embodiment, a method for pre-analyzing a digital signal for encoding digital watermarks comprises: (1) providing a digital signal; (2) providing a digital filter to be applied to the digital signal; and (3) identifying an area of the digital signal that will be affected by the digital filter based on at least one measurable difference between the digital signal and a counterpart of the digital signal selected from the group consisting of the digital signal as transmitted, the digital signal as stored in a medium, and the digital signal as played backed. According to another embodiment, a method for encoding a watermark in a content signal includes the steps of (1) splitting a watermark bit stream; and (2) encoding at least half of the watermark bit stream in the content signal using inverted instances of the watermark bit stream. Other methods and systems for encoding/decoding digital watermarks are also disclosed.

Optimization methods for the insertion, protection, and detection of digital watermarks in digitized data

A method is provided of installing device drivers in a host processing system coupled to a number of peripheral devices. At system initialization, the host processing system requests the peripheral devices to which it is coupled to each provide a device code for identifying the type of the peripheral device. The host processing system receives the device codes from the peripheral devices and transmits the device codes to a remote server over a network, such as the Internet. The remote server selects an appropriate device driver for each peripheral device from a plurality of stored device drivers based on the device codes received from the host processing system and then transmits the device drivers to the host processing system over the network. This driver download process is carried out with no intervention from the user.

Post-infection virus protection through data restoration using mirrored data that has been obtained prior to the virus infection. A network appliance in a network mirrors the data of a number of computers in an ongoing manner. An anti-virus module of the network appliance scans data received from a computer to determine whether the computer is infected by a virus. If no virus is identified, the network appliance uses the received data to update a mirrored copy of the computer's data. If, however, the network appliance identifies a virus, the mirrored copy is not updated. Instead, the previous mirrored copy, which represents a pre-infection state of the data, is used to restore the infected computer to its pre-infection state. In this manner, a single copy of an anti-virus utility executed at the network appliance can protect an arbitrary number of computers, which do not require their own anti-virus software.

A device for presenting content to a user comprises a connection for receiving content over a wireless communications network associated with a content provider and a display or other user interface means for presenting the content to the user. The wireless communications network can be an 802.11 -based communications network. The content provider determines that the device is within a range of the wireless communications network and authenticates the device for the receipt of content. If the device is authenticated, the content provider transmits the content to the device. In one embodiment, the content provider comprises a merchant and the content comprises an electronic coupon that the device user can redeem at a locale of the merchant.

A central data management unit (i.e., a home network appliance) receives a request for Internet data from an input device having an associated display device. The Internet data request is then transferred from the central data management unit over the Internet. The central data management unit then receives the requested Internet data, processes the data, and forwards the data to the display device associated with the input device that generated the request. The central data management unit also receives a request for multimedia data from another input device associated with yet another display device. In response to the request for multimedia data, the multimedia data is tuned from a multimedia transmission. The multimedia data is processed at the central data management unit and is forwarded to the second display device associated with the second input device. Thus, for example, the central data management unit facilitates the display of a web page at a computer monitor and a television program on a television screen.
