Abstract
A method of performing Digital Rights Management (DRM) and tracking using a virus characteristic and a system for executing the method are provided. The method of performing DRM and tracking with respect to a digital content, includes the steps of: providing a DRM code to the digital content in a DRM system, wherein the DRM code includes a virus characteristic; and performing the DRM and tracking with respect to the digital content, based on DRM information, wherein the DRM information is generated based on the DRM code.
Claims21
A method of performing Digital Rights Management (DRM) and tracking with respect to a digital content, the method comprising associating a DRM code with a digital content, the DRM code comprising a computer virus characteristic comprising the DRM code is being hidden in a memory;
- performing DRM by executing the DRM code prior to performing the digital content in a user terminal such that the DRM authorizes or prohibits the performance of the digital content in the user terminal based, at least in part, upon DRM information generated by the DRM code;
- and tracking with respect to the digital content based on the DRM information, wherein the DRM information is updated in accordance with activities with respect to the digital content wherein the DRM code performs a DRM function when the digital content is played using the computer virus characteristic, and the computer virus characteristic is provided in another program and privately performs a function, wherein the DRM information comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a play time of the digital content, a number of plays thereof, and a number of distributions thereof, wherein a distribution level and a utilization level of the digital content are identified by analyzing the IP address, the play time, the number of plays, and the number of distributions, and wherein the play or the distribution of the digital content is restricted based on the identified distribution level and utilization level.
A method of performing a Digital Rights Management (DRM) function by a DRM code, the method:
- generating DRM information associated with a digital content when the digital content is played;
- tracking with respect to the digital content based on the DRM information, wherein the DRM information is updated in accordance with activities with respect to the digital content;
- and transmitting the DRM information to a DRM system associated with the digital content wherein the DRM code performs the DRM function when the digital content is played using a virus characteristic which is provided in another program and which privately performs a function, wherein the DRM information comprises an IP address, a play time of the digital content, a number of plays thereof, and a number of distributions thereof, wherein a distribution level and a utilization level of the digital content are identified by analyzing the IP address, the play time, the number of plays, and the number of distributions, and wherein the play or the distribution of the digital content is restricted based on the identified distribution level and utilization level.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- associating a DRM code with a digital content, the DRM code comprising a computer virus characteristic comprising the DRM code is being hidden in a memory;
- performing DRM by executing the DRM code prior to performing the digital content in a user terminal such that the DRM authorizes or prohibits the performance of the digital content in the user terminal based, at least in part, upon DRM information generated by the DRM code;
- and tracking with respect to the digital content based on the DRM information, wherein the DRM information is updated in accordance with activities with respect to the digital content wherein the DRM code performs a DRM function when the digital content is played using the computer virus characteristic, and the computer virus characteristic is provided in another program and privately performs a function, wherein the DRM information comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a play time of the digital content, a number of plays thereof, and a number of distributions thereof, wherein a distribution level and a utilization level of the digital content are identified by analyzing the IP address, the play time, the number of plays, and the number of
- distributions, and wherein the play or the distribution of the digital content is restricted based on the identified distribution level and utilization level.
A system for performing Digital Rights Management (DRM) and tracking with respect to a digital content, the system comprising:
- a DRM code providing component configured to associate a DRM code with a digital content, the DRM code comprising a computer virus characteristic comprising the DRM code is being hidden in a memory;
- and a DRM and tracking performing component configured to perform DRM by executing the DRM code prior to performing the digital content in a user terminal such that the DRM authorizes or prohibits the performance of the digital content in the user terminal based, at least in part, upon DRM information generated by the DRM code, and configured to track with respect to the digital content based on the DRM information, wherein the DRM information is updated in accordance with activities with respect to the digital content wherein the DRM code performs a DRM function when the digital content is played using the computer virus characteristic, which is provided in another program and which privately performs a function, wherein the DRM information comprises an IP address, a play time of the digital content, a number of plays thereof, and a number of distributions thereof, wherein a distribution level and a utilization level of the digital content are identified by analyzing the IP address, the play time, the number of plays, and the number of wherein the play or the distribution of the digital content is restricted based on the identified distribution level and utilization level.
