The present disclosure relates to a data processing system, more specifically, the present disclosure relates to selective accessibility of content from a content-pool.
Some websites source content from other websites for a variety of reasons, for example, for information, comparison, etc. The content may include text, status updates, location information, photos, videos, groups, events, and/or links to external websites as well as other pages in a social network, just to name a few. The content of the sourced website may be available to sourcing websites by optionally creating a login on the sourced website. Additionally, content once posted on the sourcing website may then made available to all the viewers of the sourcing websites.
While content may be made available to viewers in this manner, the sourced website cannot control the accessibility of the posted content on a granular level. Rather the sourced website may wish to curtain content access based upon who requested the content or which website can source content from it. Further, due to unrestricted posting of content, there may even be times when content contributors may not wish to post content online.
In order that the advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an example of a distributed system configured as client/server architecture used in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
FIG. 2 is an exemplary modular diagram of a content-pool hosted on a main server 1.
Methods and systems for providing content from a content-pool based upon one or more access settings are disclosed. The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the teachings of the present disclosure. For purposes of explanation, specific nomenclature is set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. Descriptions of specific applications are provided only as examples. Various modifications to the preferred embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Thus, the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” or similar language means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment.
