Abstract
Systems and methods for managing data are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving a first request for a service, wherein the first request is associated with a first rights package. The first rights package can be processed to determine access to the service. An evaluation key can be generated, wherein the evaluation key represents the determination of access relating to the processing of the first rights package. A second request for a service can be received, wherein the second request is associated with a second rights package. The second rights package can be processed using the evaluation key.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device from a user device, a request for a first content asset, wherein the request is associated with a first rights package;
- determining, by the computing device, based on an association between the first rights package and a second rights package, a previous request for the first content asset received from the user device, wherein the previous request is associated with the second rights package, and wherein the first rights package has access rights to more content assets than the second rights package;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, based on the second rights package, and based on the previous request for the first content asset being granted, to allow the user device to access the first content asset.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device from a user device, a request for a first content asset, wherein the request is associated with a first rights package;
- determining, by the computing device, based on an association between the first rights package and a second rights package, a previous request for the first content asset received from the user device, wherein the previous request is associated with the second rights package, and wherein the first rights package has access rights to more content assets than the second rights package;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, based on the second rights package, and based on the previous request for the first content asset being denied, to deny the user device to access the first content asset.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing non-transitory processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a user device, a request for a first content asset, wherein the request is associated with a first rights package;
- determine, based on an association between the first rights package and a second rights package, a previous request for the first content asset received from the user device, wherein the previous request is associated with the second rights package, and wherein the first rights package has access rights to more content assets than the second rights package;
- and
- determine, based on the second rights package, and based on the previous request for the first content asset being granted, to allow the user device to access the first content asset.
