Abstract
Method for utilizing digital content is provided. The method includes controlling a throughput rate for utilizing the digital content by an accessing system, where the throughput rate is associated with information related to the digital content and is stored as a file. The throughput rate is controlled by a storage system that is operationally coupled to the accessing system.
Claims20
A method for utilizing digital content, comprising:
- in a storage system with digital content and a file system structure, the digital content stored as a file associated with the file system structure, performing:
- receiving a request for digital content;
- and
- controlling a throughput rate associated with access to the digital content in the storage system, wherein while the storage system is operationally coupled to an accessing system the digital content is provided to the accessing system according to the throughput rate, wherein the throughput rate is associated with information related to the file and is based on a content bit rate, and wherein the content bit rate is determined by the storage system and is related to the file system structure.

A method for utilizing digital content, comprising:
- in a storage system with digital content and a file system structure, the digital content stored as a file associated with the file system structure, performing:
- receiving a content bit rate from an external device;
- and
- controlling a throughput rate associated with access to the digital content in the storage system, wherein while the storage system is operationally coupled to an accessing system, the digital content is provided to the accessing system according to the throughput rate, wherein the throughput rate is associated with information related to the file and is based on the content bit rate by the storage system from the external device.
1 more element
A data storage device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory and configured to control a throughput rate associated with access to digital content to be sent to an accessing system, wherein the memory controller is configured to process a security key before the digital content is sent to the accessing system, wherein the memory controller adjusts a data transmission rate of the digital content to reach the throughput rate, and wherein the thoroughput rate is controlled based on results of processing the security key.
