Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for managing a license of data in a machine-to-machine (M2M) system. A method for operating a M2M device in an M2M system includes: receiving data from a counterpart M2M device; receiving information on a license of the data from the counterpart M2M device; and performing an operation for the data based on the information on the license.
Claims10
A method for operating a machine-to-machine (M2M) device in an M2M system, the method comprising:
- receiving data from a counterpart M2M device;
- receiving information on a license of the data from the counterpart M2M device;
- and
- performing a permitted operation for the data based on the received information on the license,
- wherein the received information on the license includes information indicating a license type of the data including a first license type and a second license type,
- wherein the first license type indicates a basic license of the data including distribution of the data,
- wherein the second license type indicates an extended license with additional conditions based on the first license type,
- wherein the second license type is classified into a plurality of license types based on the additional conditions, wherein the additional conditions include one or more conditions of a possibility of modifying the data or a possibility of commercial use of the data,
- wherein the permitted operation for the data is determined to include at least one of modifying, copying, publishing, translating, adapting, or distributing the data based on the received information indicating the license type, and
- wherein the method further comprises:
- receiving, from the counterpart M2M device, a request for deleting the data according to a result of verifying the received information on the license.
A machine-to-machine (M2M) device in an M2M system, the M2M device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
- and
- a processor configured to control the transceiver,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- receive data from a counterpart M2M device,
- receive information on a license of the data from the counterpart M2M device, and
- perform a permitted operation for the data based on the received information on the license,
- wherein the received information on the license includes information indicating a license type of the data including a first license type and a second license type,
- wherein the first license type indicates a basic license of the data including distribution of the data,
- wherein the second license type indicates an extended license with additional conditions based on the first license type,
- wherein the second license type is classified into a plurality of license types based on the additional conditions, wherein the additional conditions include one or more conditions of a possibility of modifying the data or a possibility of commercial use of the data,
- wherein the permitted operation for the data is determined to include at least one of modifying, copying, publishing, translating, adapting, or distributing the data based on the received information indicating the license type, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to receive, from the counterpart M2M device, a request for deleting the data according to a result of verifying the received information on the license.
