Abstract
According to an example, controlled content delivery may include analyzing a content forwarding rule associated with content based on metadata related to the content to determine whether to forward the content to a device. In response to a determination that the content is to be forwarded to the device, the content may be forwarded to the device for performing an action.
Claims15
A method for controlled content delivery, the method comprising:
- assessing content received from a content provider;
- analyzing, by a processor, a content forwarding rule associated with the content based on metadata related to the content to determine whether to forward the content to a device associated with a content recipient;
- in response to a determination that the content is to be forwarded to the device, forwarding the content to the device for performing an action related to the content;
- receiving a confirmation notification associated with the device;
- determining whether the action has been performed based on the confirmation notification;
- in response to a determination that the action was not performed, analyzing a content recipient rule associated with the content based on the metadata to determine whether to forward a content recipient notification to the content recipient;
- and
- in response to a determination to forward the content recipient notification to the content recipient, forwarding the content recipient notification to the content recipient by using a communication technique specified by the content recipient rule.

A controlled content delivery apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
- assess information received from an information provider;
- analyze an information restriction rule associated with the information based on metadata related to the information to determine a restriction related to use of the information;
- analyze an information forwarding rule associated with the information based on the metadata to determine whether to forward the information to a device;
- in response to a determination that the information is to be forwarded to the device, forward the information to the device;
- in response to the determination that the information is to be forwarded to the device, determine an action permitted based on the use of the information specified by the restriction;
- in response to a determination of the action permitted based on the use of the information specified by the restriction, instruct the device to perform the action;
- determine whether the action has been performed based on a confirmation notification associated with the device;
- and
- in response to a determination that the action was not performed, analyze an information recipient rule associated with the information based on the metadata to determine whether to forward an information recipient notification to an information recipient.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to provide controlled content delivery, the machine readable instructions, when executed, cause a processor to:
- analyze a document forwarding rule associated with a document based on metadata related to the document to determine whether to forward the document to a device;
- analyze a document restriction rule associated with the document based on the metadata to determine a restriction related to use of the document;
- in response to a determination that the document is to be forwarded to the device, forward the document to the device for performing an action permitted based on the use of the document specified by the restriction;
- analyze a confirmation notification associated with the device;
- determine whether the action has been performed based on the confirmation notification;
- in response to a determination that the action was not performed, analyze a document recipient rule associated with the document based on the metadata to determine whether to forward a document recipient notification to the document recipient;
- and
- in response to a determination to forward the document recipient notification to the document recipient, determine, based on the analysis of the document recipient rule, to include in the document recipient notification an indication of a corrective act to be performed to enable the action to be performed subsequently.
