Does "digital content escrow for iTunes purchases" refer to Apple's grouping of multiple iTunes purchases into a single credit card transaction, as described here: http://qr.ae/T3uTd ?
No. It is described at http://www.google.com/patents/US20090070122?pg=PA1&dq=mi...
It is a pity that there is nearly nothing (articles, words, videos) on the web about this excellent engineer.
He had a paper in CompCon 94 (it's behind an IEEE paywall, though).

Walter Smith's site may have a mirror, but I can't get to it right now.

You could read through his list of invented/co-invented patents:

I realize it's not quite what you meant.

Thank you. In some extent, these patents are the best things left for an engineer.
Rest in peace, Mike will certainly be missed
We've lost another great engineer to cancer. This sucks.
My condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.
