Figure 6 is a diagram showing a typical software architecture suitable for the server 50 as referred to in Figure 5. The server software includes an operating system 60, a basic server platform 61, and a service software that can be a navigation service 63. This operating system 60 is a more commonly used operating system such as Microsoft's Windows or Linux. The basic server platform 6 1 provides a plurality of components that contain functions commonly used by a plurality of software programs. These components are provided by an operating system provided by a vendor or a third party or are specially made to support applications of certain formats. For example, 'a C standard library, a C++ standard library, a database such as 〇racie or inf〇rmix, and a programming language for Java or .Net, etc. (run- Time) environment and function library. The server contains map data 62' which contains the geometry of the map, geological and landmark information, p〇int-of interest (POI) data and address search data. The server uses the basic server platform 61 and map data 62, in the patent application of 9 1378222 101. 7. 2-0 No. 096134682, the invention patent supplement, the replacement of the instructions of the innocent line replacement: 〇 1 July. A plurality of navigation services 63 are executed on the operating system. The navigation service 63 includes a map drawing service, a destination search service, a first line computing service, and a manoeuvre generating service. The functionality of this navigation service includes the use of the aforementioned navigation services to produce content in a format such as HTML or WML that includes user interface and navigation provisioning information for the client device. The thin client system has many advantages, it is easy to update the map data content and application used by the client device, and since the server usually has a large storage capacity to store all the data', the thin client system can be used more. Maps and POI data, which can be set and updated on the server, allowing multiple client devices to use the updated data, and the client side of the thin system is usually better than the client in the full system. The device comes cheap. However, the aforementioned thin client system still has many shortcomings, it can only operate in the place where the server can be connected, and the data transfer between the client and the server will cost, and the basic structure of the expensive server is needed. Continue to invest in costs. And because of bandwidth limitations, network latency, or high system load, the navigation services provided by the thin client/system are of poor quality. The architecture that combines the advantages of responsiveness with the benefits of responsiveness and the ability of a thin client to efficiently access and update information is called a smart client (Ct), a smart client. Enhance local resources such as memory, storage devices, graphics; I-side and processing capabilities and perform on the machine to provide better 10th%% No. 2 patent application invention patent supplement, correction no-line specification replacement Monthly and reactive navigation services. Smart clients can be operated on a stand-alone basis. They can also be connected to remote systems for data exchange to provide better navigation service quality. Since the user interface information is not often used between the server and the smart client, there is a good response. So these smart clients use the communication channel to provide cost and performance benefits. . When there are multiple new softwares present, the 'smart client can start the communication channel to get soft' and perform the update in the background (bakground).

When more devices are connected and access to a large amount of data and services, new forms of content can be obtained. The content is a key difference and a central resource that derives a large number of product features. Most of this important task is reflected in the design of the current system's when it is created, the internal data is rendered to be uniform and pre-formed. These navigation systems use only these specific data formats and can use a variety of new data formats, unless these new data frames are appropriately modified to be usable. And these navigation systems are not smashed by the 20-seat sneak peeks. The singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the patent application. For content-centric features, and not easily responding to changes in content data. To support the expansion of functions during set-up time, these navigation applications become more complex with many pieces of interaction. , so the problem will be more serious, where the fragments are frequently combined in multiple monolithic systems. Due to the interdependency of these components, changes are made without affecting other parts of the system. Some of the software in this system has become difficult, and a new product has to be released instead of just updating an existing product. In addition, all components have evolved considerably before completing an integration and testing cycle. Therefore, these large-scale programs and development work management and integration are logistically difficult. A number of new functions are added to the software, and the process of executing the software is sequentially displayed in Figure 7. Step 70: During the initial period, a new feature function is considered to be an additional data attribute that can be obtained. 1: If necessary, change the map production tool to convert the source data to the physical storage format of the system to support any new attributes for the new feature. Step 7 2: Use updated The map generation system establishes map data to generate data of a system-specific entity storage format. 12 1378222, Η··096134682 Patent application invention patent supplement, correction of unlined specification replaces this gas year 77•month “卞Step 73 : Update the navigation engine to use the aforementioned information. V骡74_ generates changes corresponding to support for multiple new functions in various modules of the user application. Step 75: Adjust the user interface and graphical interface to support the new functions required by the system' and create a fully integrated application based on the above components. The result of the design and product flow of the k-series is a specific improved print, which uses a specific data source to meet the needs of specific, end-users and takes more time to develop. In addition, these products are usually intended to be the general product of each user. However, the result is to provide redundant functions to multiple end users.

The engine 142 is executed 'to operate a particular component of the plurality of plug-in software object code pieces necessary. The aforementioned execution engine 142 is typically not part of the basic navigation architecture 140, but may be part of the basic navigation architecture. In addition, the execution engine 142 can be incorporated into the base navigation platform software ι 31 or otherwise supplied by a third party logistics. Execution engine 142 can have any of the embodiments; for example, a script engine, a rule base, or a binary machine code compatible with the navigation client. Execution engine 142 is preferred. It is designed to comply with certain industry standards of various execution engines and is a virtual machine or just-in-time compiler that uses a one-dimensional block interpreter.

That is, the integration is seamless and is normal on the client device. The client device does not require any reset or entry into any special installation state during the operation and occurs. Although the program execution is seamless from a logical point of view, this user is better. Is the reason for any transmission or 'other delay time' being notified, these delays can affect the response of the client device when these plug-in software objects are transferred and installed Usability. In a preferred embodiment, once the previous plug-in software object is obtained, the plug-in software object structure 141 is incorporated into a device to store the plug-in software objects to the persistently or temporarily. A plug-in software object cache (cache) This mechanism is also to prevent the duplicate external plug-in software object from being repeatedly transmitted to the client device. Any temporary or fixed storage device can be a Cache memory. For example, a storage device such as a random access memory (RAM), a plurality of portable memory cards such as a multimedia card (MMC), a compact flash memory card (Compact flash) or a smart memory card (Smart Card) , SD). Preferably, the stored plug-in software objects are controlled by the plug-in software object architecture 141, which is controlled using a prioritized list of at least recently used. Due to the limited storage nature of cached temporary or fixed storage devices, the purpose of the prioritized list is to allow multiple plug-in software objects that have been used recently to be deleted in order to allow more recent plug-in software objects to be used. Or supply. Execution engine 142 is a plug-in software object structure 31 1378222 m?. 2.0 in the preferred embodiment. Patent application No. 82, claim No. 09,613, the patent application is supplemented, and the unlined specification is replaced by the specification. A portion of the execution engine 142 can execute programs contained within a plurality of plug-in software objects, but can also allow the source of the plug-in software object access architecture 140, the source of the architecture 141, and the source of the basic navigation platform software 31. This access is supported by a framework API 143, which is exposed to programs contained within multiple plug-in software objects. The architecture API 143 exposed in the previous plug-in software objects is preferably internal to the architecture. However, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of plug-in software objects may additionally access the remaining APIs and be run by the execution engine. Multiple functional requirements for the general operation of multiple plug-in software objects. For example, these APIs are mathematical operations or computational functions, string manipulation (also known as string manipulation) functions, memory management functions, and other functions defined by the basic navigation platform API 133. In a preferred embodiment, regardless of the form or language of the plug-in software object being developed, in a sense, the architecture API 143 is language independent, as long as the functions are called and passed through multiple A function argument of the set is generated, and similar functions are supported. These plug-in software objects 144 also have an API 145 used by the plug-in software object architecture 141 to interact with the previous objects. More details will be described in the following sections. Object Lifecycle Architecture The plug-in software object 144 is initially in an inactive state and has been acquired by the base navigation architecture 140 and stored temporarily or frequently at the client device 120. That is to say, the code contained in these objects will not be executed. Instead, the code has been waiting for the replacement of the invention by the patent application of the patent application No. 32 1378222 No. 96134682. 〇 〇 July July · The event (even) is triggered and the code is executed by an execution engine. These events generated by the basic navigation architecture 132 are typically responsive to multiple input signals received from the basic navigation platform software 131. In a preferred embodiment of the basic content providing architecture, a scheduled and fixed set of events is supported to limit the presence of multiple plug-in software object launches. The basic navigation platform software 131 can provide a variety of input signals to trigger events of the plug-in software objects, such events being generated within the architecture 132. This input signal may come from a device connected to the client device 12 or a portion of the client device 120, and this input signal is a property that is associated with the client device 120 or the outside world. For example, these properties are time, location, user speed, temperature, intensity of light associated with the nature of the vehicle engine and the depth of the water within a boating environment. Any external or intrinsic environment sensor input device such as an absolute positioning device including a GPS sensor and/or dead reckoning can be used to trigger the plug-in Soft object. In addition, the sensor devices directly detect input signals from a user such as a keyboard or a touchpad "(10)pad) to generate a plurality of trigger input signals. When receiving through a wired or wirelessly connected communication channel In the case of a message, the trigger input signal can actually be generated. The execution engine initiates a plurality of plug-in software objects in response to a plurality of events generated by the base navigation architecture 132, wherein the objects indicate in the architecture which events have Interest. In the paradigm of these types of events, multiple plug-in software objects wish to identify multiple types of user interaction activities, location changes or absolute positions, time transitions, windows or elapsed time 33 1378222 101. 2〇 096134682 Patent application patent supplement, amendment of the unlined specification Replacement: July 101 and received messages. The event of interest in the plug-in software object is within the scope of the event in which the other soft object is responsible. The architecture does not transmit events outside the scope of an external soft object to the attached software object. Basic Navigation Architecture The event 140 is transmitted to the plug-in software object 144 through an event handler API, wherein the event handler API is a portion of the API 145 provided by the plug-in software object. The API 145 is used by the architecture to cooperate with a plurality of plug-in software objects. The event operator API allows the plug-in software object execution state to operate from completely dormant to fully operational. The three states are escalated. In a first completely static state, no code from the plug-in software object is executed by the execution engine; however, the scope of the event of the soft object is established by the architecture. In the second background operating state, a background event operator included in the plug-in software object is used to process the events within the scope of the event. The event operator determines whether to use the program and data stored in the object. Whether the third state of the object activity should be called (invoke). When in the second active state, multiple objects It is desirable to restrict access to a plurality of APIs provided by the navigation content providing architecture. In a preferred embodiment, none of the user interfaces associated with the architecture API can be used by objects within the second active state. In the fully operational state, the plug-in software objects have full access to the architecture API, which allows the previous plug-in software objects to perform useful tasks by using the architecture and the source of the basic navigation platform software. This architecture supports plug-in software. The object state is gradually expanded (escalation) is also 34 1378222 Patent application No. 096134682 Patent application supplement, revised non-cutting instructions to replace this: ^ $ 〇 In order to allow multiple plug-in software objects to determine multiple self-triggering conditions. This structure supports objects with a number of very complex trigger conditions, where the previous conditions are as simple as possible by the multiple rules and materials contained within the objects. For example, a plug-in software object in a preferred embodiment can be triggered by multiple changes in position over a defined area of a geofence area or a route channel (c〇rrid〇r) . Examples of applications that use this triggering method are vehicle applications and a variety of interactive travel guides that generate travel content in certain locations. In some application examples, such plug-in software objects may be triggered by certain times or after a certain number of times have been consumed, such as a reminder bell, or based on location The triggering of the connection, and an advertising application, delivers the advertisement during the opening hours of a nearby device (faciHty). These objects within the aforementioned third fully operational state can use the full set of architecture APIs. Precisely, the APIs according to the correct implementation of this architecture are accessible; however, in various preferred embodiments, the plug-in software object provides a user interface in this state to cause such objects Can interact directly with the user of the client navigation device. In addition, the plug-in software objects in the third state can trigger other events or objects to utilize and change the behavior of the basic navigation function, such as routing and map display, request and display content, Trigger the remaining multiple events and objects and send and receive messages. In fact, the nature of these activities can be achieved by these objects in this state and the support for these activities. The concept of this navigation content providing structure will be largely in the following chapter 35 1378222 No. 134682 The patent application patent supplement and the amendment of the instruction manual of the innocent line are replaced by the ^^years ^ section. As previously stated, because the plug-in software object storage cache on this client device has been extended and the space for more new or acquired plug-in software objects is required, these The plug-in software object is stored by the client device until the plug-in software object is deleted. In a preferred embodiment, however, such plug-in software objects may be removed from the cached object cache memory for other reasons. These reasons are, for example, that the object is of a certain type and has performed its designated function; the use time of the plug-in software object has ended; and the object has been invalidated at the server because the function or material contained in the object has been Was withdrawn or updated. Moreover, in a preferred embodiment, such plug-in software objects can define their own expiry. This mechanism also enables the use of this plug-in software object event handler to supervise (m〇nit〇r) these important events and to determine multiple conditions. If the previous situation occurs, the additional software object informs (n〇tify) the structure through the appropriate Α π that is still in use. Referring to Figure 15, a time point during the life cycle of a plug-in software object that is terminated after a single task is completed. The object is retrieved via the basic navigation architecture 140 (step 15A), and then stored (step 151) to the client device 120 to hang the software object cache memory. The shelf structure interrogates the plug-in software object by checking the information contained in the plug-in object (step 152) to determine the range of additional soft object events, wherein the object enters the first fully stationary state. In response to the architecture of the trigger provided by the basic navigation platform software, it is determined that an event has occurred in the scope (step 153), wherein the invention patent 36 1378222 patent application No. 096134682 supplements and corrects the patent Replacement of the line specification: 101. July β 0 Execution (step 154) In addition to the event operator of the soft object. This event handler (step 155) determines from the event report and internal information that sufficient conditions for full activity have been achieved.

These plug-in software objects transmitted by the server are from a content channel service on the server. The channel extends the functionality of the system, and the system provides these content channels to determine the range of functions available to users of these navigation client devices. These content channels are one system and another system that enables embodiments of this navigation content providing architecture. Differentiated custom components. Although the implementation of these content channels can vary from one system to another, the content channel provides an important part of the navigation content architecture. The content channel is used by the navigation client device. A single form of content that can be subscribed to. For example, travel information for New York, travel capital Such as a flight timetable or a restaurant guide. A location-based service provider provides content channels and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, these end users decide on these customers through their respective selections of the content channels. The feeling of the end device itself is used. Furthermore, when some content channels can support a single or multiple revenue generation methods for continuous access, other content channels are preferably provided to these users free of charge. Almost any business model can be applied to the above systems, such as subscription, pay per use, price ratio, broadcast advertisement, pay per click, and payment (pay). Per view) and targeted marketing. Please refer to FIG. 16, which illustrates the structure of a content channel service in a preferred embodiment of a navigation content providing architecture. The content access layer 160 provides a standard format for the interface between the content channel and the rest of the system. This causes the content channels to be managed and assembled within the system to provide multiple content objects to the navigation client device. While the content access layer 160 content channel receives requests for plug-in software objects, such plug-in software objects are generated by the content channel but are executed on the navigation client device. In response to these requests, the content access layer 160 performs the necessary processing, mapping, and conversion to combine and provide the requested content, typically in the form of a plug-in software object, to the content channel. This content channel provides content to these end users by using data from a content source 161. This content source can be in any form and can be combined with a variety of real sources, such as stored data and or files, data stored in a database, online content sources on the Internet, information generated by real time, and Online sensing data available on the content channel. In a preferred embodiment, the stored data and the template contained in the file provide a plurality of fragments of the executable code, and the fragments are accessed by the content access layer 160. And the data is combined to form a complete plug-in software object. In a preferred embodiment, the content channel includes a graphics and navigation module 162 that provides map data, navigation functions, and a plurality of utility functions that are typically used to access or process map geometry and data. This navigation and function function is used by the content access layer 160 of a plurality of content channels and does not change often. For example, geometric calculations and spatial operations, data inventory primitives, search algorithms, standard address search and analysis algorithms, and route calculation algorithms. 1378222 Patent Application No. 096,134,682 Patent Application Supplementary, Correction, Unlined Instruction Replacement of the Year I. Months The Customer Management Module 163 manages multiple content channel subscriptions and access rights of their respective users.

Preferably, the information is collected to generate statistical values for analyzing the usage of the services provided above (10) and for revenue generation purposes. There is no more detailed transaction tracking mechanism that is used throughout the system. Conversely, this transaction information is maintained separately by the location-based service provider for each content channel. This transaction module is an important device through which location-based service providers can generate revenue. Content Channel Communication Architecture In a preferred embodiment of architectural communication between multiple navigation client devices and content channels, the service is standardized as one of the content channel communication architectures. This architecture provides a messaging protocol to support the transfer of these add-on software objects and specific channel information. The communication protocol used herein is preferably consistent with the standards widely used in the industry. Some examples are simple objects 40 1378222 ^ 7. Patent application No. 096134682 Patent application supplement, amendment of the instructions for the replacement of the line: The Simple Object Access Protocol 'SOAP' and the shared object request agent architecture ( Common Object Request Broker Architecture, CORB A). This mechanism function through these client devices can be updated and these plug-in software objects on the client device can access instant and up to date information.

Referring to Figure 17, a flow diagram of content transfer from a content channel service to a navigation client device is shown. A plurality of plug-in software objects and/or portions thereof are translated by the service (step 170) in response to a plurality of requests generated by the navigation client device. The plurality of plug-in software objects and the remaining content items are encoded according to a particular communication protocol of a portion of an embodiment of such an architecture (step 171). In a preferred embodiment, this involves moving the items from a binary format such as Common Intermediate Language (CIL) to a transport format such as Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) or base (base). 64 series, and then these items are included in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) according to the SOAP protocol, so that these items can be recognized and replied later. The encoded data is transmitted to the client device by any of the devices (step 172). Once received by the client, the encoded material is decoded (step 73) such that the base navigation architecture of the client device can retrieve the plug-in software objects and/or other content material. As previously described, the client device adds an add-on software object to store the cache memory. This purpose is to prevent repeated transfer of the same plug-in software object. Only the plug-in software object that has not been stored on the client needs to be provided by the content channel of the invention on the feeder device, which is supplemented by the invention patent supplement of the patent application No. 4682, the patent application No. 4682, and the replacement of the U7/0. . In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of global unique identifiers are used to identify such plug-in software objects. Prior to initializing the transfer of objects from a content channel, the client navigation architecture compares the global unique identifiers of the objects required with the identifiers of all stored objects. Ideally, requests for these plug-in software objects only include global unique identifiers for objects that have not yet been stored on the client. Clearly referring to Fig. 18, an embodiment of the basic navigation architecture of the present invention is required to obtain the sequence of operations performed when the software object is externally attached. The client device searches for the plug-in software object cache memory of the client &amp; device (v. 18G)&apos; and uses the confirmed unique identifiers to determine that the desired object is not within the client device.

In response to this request, the content is translated at this server and transmitted (step 183) to the client device in accordance with steps 170 through 173. The client device obtains a software object for use outside of this basic navigation architecture (step 184). Directory Service Architecture Referring to Figure 19, there is shown a schematic diagram of the relationship between a plurality of content channels and a device in an embodiment of the present invention corresponding to Figures 8 through 9. The system is divided into a directory server 19 - a content channel word server 192 and a navigation client device that is responsible for the plug-in software objects. These are supplemented and amended by the patent application of the patent application No. 096134682 The instruction of the wireless line replaces the I7/month. The server 191 and the server 192 can be separate servers, wherein the separate servers have a hardware architecture according to FIG. Moreover, the server 191 and the server 192 can be disposed in the same device, wherein the device can be the same device as the client device 190 configured in the system shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. . The plurality of content channels of the content channel server 192 selectively utilizes information or services from the Internet resources 193 to provide -in a particular format, such that the plug-in software objects are provided to the navigation client device 19h based on location The service provider maintains the directory reporter 19 and the device 191 adjusts the content channels that the terminal user can obtain. For the directory service, the content channel is almost 'normalized' so that the directory service is used. Managing content channels is easier and the method extends the system by providing more than one content channel. among them. This directory service is the first point of contact for the communication between the client device 19() and the __ content channel. After discovering the content channels through the directory service, the client device initializes directly with the respective desired content channels in response to the user's activities, the plug-in software object transfer, and the content channel-specific communication. . Referring to Figure 20, there is shown all of the components of the preferred embodiment of the directory service software. The channel management module 2 provides a mechanism for one or more channels to be sign-on "the directory service. The functionality of the system is associated with the channels being logged in at any time. Included in the directory The in-service-customer management module 2qi is a channel description that allows the client device to find which channel is available.

The use of databases 2〇2 and 2〇3 will be described in a later paragraph. Provided by any location-based service provider, and the content channel providers and the directory service provider can be a different provider. In order for the directory service to list the content frequencies These content channels must be logged in to the directory service, and these content channels maintain contact with the directory service while they remain active. When the content channel service is to be maintained or for other reasons, these multiple content channels can be logged out (sign_ Off) directory service. In this way, 'this directory service usually knows which channel activity and which channel is inactive. If the directory service is inactive, the content channel may maintain normal operation for those customers who have subscribed. The figure depicts a typical login, hold, and logout period for a content channel service. In step 210, the content channel service transmits a login request to the channel management module 200 of the directory service. The channel is added to the list of these activities and responds (step 211). A signed-in usage message refers to the response.

This channel subscription information can contain any information that the content channel service considers to be important and unique to a user. Security Architecture Because the components of this system are connected to each other, a secure architecture is required to allow all components of the system to communicate securely and to identify the identification of each component. All communications within the system are encrypted by using a public/private cryptography mechanism such as the Asymmetric cryptographic algorithm (RSA). Furthermore, when the secure content is signed, a trusted source is generated due to the use of a digital certificate. Finally, a digital right management (DRM) system controls these respective client devices and the content channel services within the system. The design and implementation instructions for these techniques are known to those skilled in the art. See Figure 23, which shows all the components that are important to this security architecture. The figure illustrates the relationship between tasks and connections between these various components. Within the system, communication between the client 230 and a directory service 231, a communication channel 233, and a communication channel 234 between the client 230 and the content channel service 232 is secure. The communication by the content channel service 232 with a communication channel 235 between a directory service 231 is also secure. By using the cryptography mechanism, the inventions of the patent application No. 096,134, 682, pp. 096, 134, 682, and the slash-free instructions are replaced by this year, # 〇

The communication by channels 233, 234 and 235 is encrypted. These clients 230 have a public/private key pair 236/237 generated within the client 230. These content channel services 232 have a public/private key pair 23D generated within the content channel service 232. 23E»This directory service 231 has a public/private key pair of 23 Α/23Β generated by the directory service 23 1 . These parties transfer their public key to another unit in the hope that another unit will receive the encrypted message. The other unit encrypts the message using the aforementioned public input, wherein the other unit wants to send the message to the original unit; and the original unit uses a secret private key 237, 23B known by the original unit and 23E and decrypt this message.

How to identify the units that transmit these messages is established through these digital signatures and digital credentials 238 and 23F. Units that transmit these messages to another unit sign the message by using a digital signature. The signature is generated by the transmitting unit, wherein a message digest generated from the messages is transmitted and the message digest is encrypted by using a private key known only to the transmitter. This message digest is calculated by a well-known algorithm such as Message-Summary Algorithm 5 (]\^ 883 Lu 6-Digest Algorithm 5, MD5). The receiver uses the known public key of the transmitter to decrypt the message digest, and the message is calculated to compare its own message digest with the decrypted digital signature. If the two match, then the message is transmitted by the owner of the identified public key. In order to check the public key issued by a trusted source, 'intercepting and transmitting all messages' is performed by an intermediary, instead using a digital certificate issued by a trusted source. This number is 47 1378222 10 ί. 7. SO. Patent application No. 096,134,682, patent application, supplement, amendment, slash-free specification, replacement: 7 丨 July, the certificate is assigned by the certificate authority (CA), and This credential management center is known to both the transmitter and the receiver. The digital certificate is assigned to the transmitter by the public key encryption of the transmitter, and some information is unique to the transmitter by using the private key of the credential management center. This message is decrypted by using the public access of the Credential Management Center. At this point, each time a transmitter transmits a message to a receiver, a digital certificate including the publication of the transmitter can be included. This voucher can be decrypted by the receiving unit using the known voucher management center. The publication of the transmitter contained in this voucher can be compared to the public key reported by the transmitter. If the two match, then it can be known which transmitter is indicated by the transmitter. In the system shown in Fig. 23, this credential management center is the directory service 231. This is because this directory service 231 controls access to both the body and the service for this system. These devices are a gateway for all content channel services. For each client device and content channel that wants to be part of the system, a number of credentials must be obtained, where the digital credentials enable access to the system. The issuance of these credentials is controlled via the directory service 231 using a § registrati〇n key 239 and a registration code 23H, and a registration database 23C within the directory server. Regardless of whether the description with these codes has been used to obtain a voucher, the registration database 23C contains all registration codes valid within the system (vaii(J)^only one voucher for a particular content channel or device) Was issued, after which the voucher was used as the communication in the system. By the directory service and the client installed 48 No. 34682 patent application invention to supplement, correct the secant instructions to replace the material year ^月;5 ο A copy of the software (copy) to issue these registration codes, or when the new content channel agreement between the directory service provider and a content channel provider is issued When a client device or content channel wishes to register, specific information must be transmitted to the directory service, wherein the feature information includes the § master booklet and uniquely identified information about the registered device, and when a voucher has been issued , so that the registration code can be used as a label. For all of these client devices used in this system, you must first register to this directory service. This directory service does not need to know which is the client device, only need to know that the client device software is effective. In fact, the customer base station is actually a device base station, and the directory service allows the content channels to be stored. The system can be sold (〇n seI1) to the content channel k. For the operation of this architecture, these devices must contain a unique serial number to distinguish one device from another device. An example of this serial number is Store the serial number of the farm, an internal serial number or an IMEA number. The serial number of the device is included in the unique information, wherein the unique information is transmitted from the client device to the directory service by using a digital certificate. Once the voucher has been issued, the registration database 23C contains both the registration code and the unique serial number of the client device. Some client devices cannot access the directory service except initially accessing the registration destination. Once the device has completed registration and a voucher has been sent, the device can check the content that can be used through the directory service. Channels, and the device can communicate directly with the content channels. These content channels must also be 1378222 before they can be obtained through this directory service.

These channels are issued with credentials through a registration procedure similar to those of the client devices. This content channel uses its own credentials to communicate with all directory services and those client devices in the future. In some cases these client devices can be pre-registered. If the client device software for navigation and content provision is pre-installed by a manufacturing process, then the device can be pre-registered by the aforementioned manufacturing process. The same or similar structure is used as previously described, but the manufacturing process replaces the registration process for this customer. Since the subscriptions to these content channels are generated on an individual part by the use of the end users of the system, the security device is as important as previously described. It is important for the directory service providers to know that the device is an active device within the system for such content channels as if the device were for a sales customer. Since the customer may have to pay for access to the content provided by the content channel, it is important to know the identification of the customer device for the content channels. Devices that have been registered to the directory service can use their own directory service credentials to subscribe to content channels known to the directory service. Because this client device supports credentials from one of the directory services, this content channel verifies that the client device can be connected to the system. Similarly, because the content channel supports one of the credentials from the directory service, the client device verifies that the content channel is valid. When the user subscribes to a content channel, the content channel sends information back to the client device to allow the client device to access the content channel in the future. 50 1378222 No. 96_# Patent application invention patent supplement, amendment without secant instructions to replace this book year h 2 0

The information sent back is a 'secure cookie' 23J, which is unique to this client device. These security vaults 23 J are similar to the regular inventory files used by many websites to remember user-specific information, but this security vault 23J uses a secret password that is only known by the content channel via the content channel. It is encrypted. Whenever the secure inventory file 23 J communicates with the client device, the secure inventory file 23J is transmitted to the content channel via the client device. The information contained in this security inventory file 23 J is intended to be stored on the client device for the content channel, wherein the information includes information about the client device or user. If the stored information needs to be changed, this content channel can update this security stock at any time. The secure inventory file 23J, which has been stored on the client device, gives the user of the client device access to the content, wherein the content is provided by a particular content channel. In fact, the client device can store all of the content channels in the system in such a manner that it is in a key chain within the client device in an encrypted form that is unknown to the client device. Take power. This inventory file is used by using a secret key 23G known only to the client device, typically using a commonly known block symmetric cipher such as 3 DES (Triple DES) or RC5. encryption. When each secure inventory file must be associated with only one known content channel being used, all channels that are subscribed and have access to access these are locally stored on the client device. Because the basic navigation architecture is capable of executing the plug-in software objects, which interact with the client device or the user, and the plug-in software objects ask the user for personal information, so only the content from a trusted source 51 1378222 〆 096 134 682 Patent Application Patent Replenishment, Amendment of Unlined Instructions Replacement: In July 101, objects were received via the basic navigation architecture. To implement the plan, the plug-in software object sent by a content channel is signed by using a voucher issued by the directory service to the content channel. This avoids the execution of the plug-in software objects that are not from a content channel authorized by the directory service. Referring to Figure 24, a sample program for a client device to securely subscribe to a content channel service is illustrated. In the figure, the sample program includes the following steps: Step 240: Initially, it is assumed that the client device has registered the directory service to obtain a certificate from the directory service. . Step 241: The user then accesses the directory service to obtain a list of recordable content channel services. Step 242: Through the user interface of the client device, the user selects a specific channel service on the list for subscription. The client device generates a message containing information about the device and the public key. Step 243: The message is signed by using the client private key, and the certificate issued by the directory service is transmitted to the content channel service. Step 244: The content channel service verifies that the client device decrypts the message signature using the client's public key and decrypts the certificate by using the trusted directory service public key. The content channel with the authenticated transmitter can immediately transmit the encrypted message to the client device by using the client device public key. Step 245: The content channel service transmits the credentials issued by the unique information and directory service within the message to the client device, wherein the message is signed using the content channel service private key. 52 1378222 ^ ΙΟΙ 7.
