Abstract
An apparatus to render content according to pre-established permissions associated with the content is provided. The apparatus includes: i) electronic processing circuitry; ii) executable instructions for execution by the processing circuitry, and iii) an output to render content. The executable instructions include instructions to control rendering of content according to pre-established permissions associated with the content. At a minimum, the rendering provides at least a preview of the content. The instructions further include instructions to facilitate communication with an external processor to obtain at least one of: i) content; and ii) supplemental permissions. The supplemental permissions extend permissible rendering of the content beyond the pre-established permissions.
Claims18
An apparatus to render content according to pre-established permissions associated with the content, said apparatus comprising:
- electronic processing circuitry;
- executable instructions for execution by said processing circuitry, said instructions to:
- control rendering of content according to pre-established permissions associated with the content, wherein, at a minimum, the rendering comprises a preview of the content;
- and
- facilitate communication with an external processor to obtain at least one of:
- i) content;
- and ii) supplemental permissions, wherein the supplemental permissions extend permissible rendering of the content beyond the pre-established permissions;
- and
- an output through which content is rendered.
An apparatus to render content, said apparatus comprising:
- electronic processing circuitry;
- executable instructions for execution by said electronic processing circuitry, said instructions to:
- open an object container comprising content, the object container including a representation of the content and a data identifier of the content;
- control rendering of the representation of the content according to pre-established permissions associated with the object container or the content, wherein, at a minimum, the rendering comprises a preview of the content;
- and
- provide entries to a sourceworks list, the sourceworks list including a bibliographic record of at least one of the content and the object container;
- and
- an output through which content is rendered.
An apparatus to render content including:
- an interface to allow communication with an external processor, the interface operable to receiving at least one of i) content, and ii) rendering rights, there through;
- dedicated processing circuitry to:
- allow negotiation with the external processor to obtain additional rights for content, the additional rights extending authorized rendering of the content beyond a predetermined minimum set of rights;
- and
- control rendering of content according to the minimum set of rights, unless additional rights have been successfully negotiated;
- and
- an output through which content is rendered.
An apparatus to render content including;
- an interface to allow communication with an external processor, the interface operable to receiving at least one of i) content, and ii) rendering rights, there through;
- electronic processing circuitry;
- executable instructions to be carried out by said electronic processing circuitry, said instructions to:
- control rendering of content according to pre-established rights associated with the content, wherein, at a minimum, the rendering comprises at least a preview of the content;
- and
- display in connection with the content the pre-established rights or subsequently obtained rights, the subsequently obtained rights extending the authorized rendering beyond that which is allowed by the pre-established rights;
- an output through which content is rendered;
- and
- a display through with the pre-established rights or subsequently obtained rights are displayed.
