Abstract
A control system comprises an interface configured to receive a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on a storage medium. The control system also comprises a processing system coupled to the interface and configured to process the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content. The interface is further configured to transfer the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
Claims23
A control system comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on a storage medium;
- a processing system coupled to the interface and configured to process the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content;
- and
- the interface configured to transfer the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
A method of operating a control system comprising:
- receiving a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on a storage medium;
- processing the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content;
- and
- transferring the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
A storage system comprising:
- a storage medium configured to store content;
- and
- a control system coupled to the storage medium and configured to receive a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on a storage medium, process the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content, and transfer the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
A device comprising:
- a host system;
- and
- a storage system coupled to the host system and configured to receive a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on a storage medium, process the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content, and transfer the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
A device comprising:
- a storage system having a storage medium;
- and
- a host system coupled to the storage system and comprising a control system configured to receive a content request from a request source wherein the content request identifies content stored on the storage medium, process the content request to determine when the request source is a valid destination for the content based on a first identifier stored with the content, and transfer the content to the request source when the request source is a valid destination.
