摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide for flexible monitoring of content. The content at a client device can be monitored based on the use and actions performed by the client. In order to monitor the content at the client, a dependency is created between any recipient of the content and a monitor installed at the client device. For example, the content may be encrypted and, when the content is accessed by a potential recipient, the recipient may be required to request a key from the monitor. This activates the monitor to begin recording transaction data and events about the content's use, such as the recipient's identity and the type of actions performed. The monitor can be configured to passively monitor and record the use of the content at the client's device. In addition, the monitor can be configured to provide audit data that indicates the transaction data recorded to a server.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供对内容的灵活监视。 客户端设备的内容可以根据客户端的使用和操作进行监控。 为了监控客户端的内容，在内容的任何收件人和安装在客户端设备上的监视器之间创建依赖关系。 例如，内容可以被加密，并且当内容被潜在接收者访问时，可能需要接收者从监视器请求密钥。 这将激活监视器以开始记录有关内容使用的事务数据和事件，例如收件人的身份和执行的操作类型。 监视器可以被配置为被动地监视和记录在客户端设备上使用内容。 此外，监视器可以配置为提供指示记录到服务器的交易数据的审计数据。
