Display window control system and method
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- recovering, using a processor, from a media presentation;
a media-content portion; and
a display-window-configuration component, wherein the media-content portion and display-window-configuration component are cryptographically bound with a cryptographic binding, wherein at least one of the cryptographically bound media-content portion and/or display-window-configuration component is encrypted;
unbinding and/or verifying the cryptographic binding using the processor, wherein unbinding and/or verifying the cryptographic binding comprises decrypting the media-content portion and/or display-window-configuration component;
responsive to the display-window-configuration component, generating a display window, wherein generating the display window comprises modifying a default display window configuration and presenting the modified display window on a display, wherein modifying the default display window comprises imparting a modified appearance to at least a portion of the display window other than a rendering field; and
rendering the media content contemporaneous with presenting the display window, wherein the media content comprises visual content, wherein rendering the media content comprises rendering the media content within a rendering field of the display window, and wherein modifying the default display window comprises modifying a layout of the rendering field.

Abstract
An embodiment of a method for rendering an item of media content includes obtaining a media presentation having a media-content portion and a display-window-configuration component. The display-window-configuration component is recovered from the media presentation and causes a defined display window to be presented contemporaneously with rendering the media content of the media-content portion. And an embodiment of a method for rendering an item of media content having an action-indicator associated with an action includes analyzing the media content to detect the action-indicator and executing the associated action. For example, the action-indicator may be a watermark, which may be visible while an image portion of the media content is displayed.

13. A computer system for presenting a media presentation comprising:
-
a display, and a processor operable to; recover from a media presentation; a media content portion; and a display-window-configuration component, wherein the media-content portion and display-window-configuration component are cryptographically bound, and wherein the cryptographically bound media-content portion and display-window-configuration component are encrypted in whole or in part and recovering the media-content portion and the display-window-configuration component comprises decrypting the media-content portion and display-window-configuration component; and responsive to the display-window-configuration component, generate a display window on the display and render the media content on the display, wherein generating the display window comprises modifying a default display window configuration by imparting a modified appearance to at least a portion of the display window other than a rendering field and presenting the modified display window, wherein the media content comprises visual content rendered within a rendering field of the display window, and wherein modifying the default display window comprises modifying a layout of the rendering field. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
