US 2016/0078200 A1 · MERCHANDISING MEDIA BASED ON OWNERSHIP AUDIT

Abstract

A machine performs an ownership audit on source media files whose media tracks are used, or proposed for use, in a mash-up media file. The machine may access a first group of media identifiers from a user's media library and identify authorized media files that the user is authorized to play or use in a mash-up. The machine may access a second group of media identifiers that identify source media files selected by the user for inclusion in a mash-up. The machine may determine whether all source media files are authorized and then present a notification that indicates whether the mash-up media file can be generated, or has been generated, exclusively from authorized media files. If a source media file is not authorized, the notification may include a suggestion that the user purchase an authorization to play the media file, use it in a mash-up, or both.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying source media files that have been selected for at least partial inclusion in a single mash-up media file to be generated;
detecting that all source media files of the single mash-up media file are included among media files that the user has been authorized to use;
determining that the user is authorized to use the source media files to generate a single mash-up media file based on the all source media files of the single mash-up media file are detected among media files that the user has been authorized to use;
generating a notification that indicates whether the single mash-up media file is authorized be generated based on the user determined to be authorized to use the at least two or more source media files;
and
causing presentation of the notification at a device.

identifying source media files that have been selected for at least partial inclusion in a single mash-up media file to be generated;
detecting that all source media files of the single mash-up media file are included among media files that the user has been authorized to use;
determining that the user is authorized to use the source media files to generate a single mash-up media file based on the all source media files of the single mash-up media file are detected among media files that the user has been authorized to use;
generating a notification that indicates whether the single mash-up media file is authorized be generated based on the user determined to be authorized to use the at least two or more source media files;
