Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for receiving content rights through a multimedia message in a mobile communication terminal. The apparatus includes a content server transmitting contents and a Right Object (RO) of the contents to a Multimedia Messaging System (MMS) server; the MMS server receiving the contents and the RO from the convent server, attaching the RO to a protection part of the multimedia message including the contents, and transmitting the RO along with the contents; and a mobile communication terminal receiving the multimedia message including the contents and the RO from the MMS server and decoding and executing the contents using the RO.
Claims15
A mobile communication system transmitting and receiving content rights through a multimedia message, comprising:
- a content server transmitting contents and a Right Object (RO) of the contents to a Multimedia Messaging System (MMS) server;
- the MMS server receiving the contents and the RO from the content server, attaching the RO to a protection part of the multimedia message including the contents, and transmitting the RO along with the contents;
- and
- a mobile communication terminal decoding and executing the contents using the RO, when receiving the multimedia message including the contents and RO from the MMS server.
An apparatus for receiving content rights through a multimedia message in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
- a communicator receiving the multimedia message including contents and an RO of the contents from an MMS server;
- an RO extractor checking whether the multimedia message received through the communicator includes the RO, and if the multimedia message includes the RO, extracting the RO from the multimedia message;
- a content decoder decoding the contents using the RO extracted by the RO extractor;
- and
- a content executor executing the contents decoded by the content decoder.
