摘要:
A method, computer program product and computing device for receiving a request to load at least one new media content item on a personal media device. The size of the at least one new media content item is compared with the amount of storage space remaining on the personal media device to determine if the personal media device has sufficient available storage space. If the personal media device does not have sufficient available storage space, a relative weight associated with at least one old media content item stored on the personal media device is ascertained, the relative weight corresponding to a likelihood that the at least one old media content item will be rendered on the personal media device.

A method, computer program product and computing device for generating a first user profile associated with a first user of a media distribution system. The first user profile being stored on a first personal media device associated with the first user. The first user profile including at least a user identifier for identifying the first user within the media distribution system. Communication is established with a second personal media device associated with a second user of the media distribution system. The first user profile is transmitted to the second personal media device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for distributing information products is described that includes the steps of generating a string, R; encrypting a first authentication code, an indicium of an end-user's identity, an indicium of a first information product, and an indicium of a second information product with the string, R, as the key to create a launch code; decrypting the launch code with the string, R, to recover the authentication code, the indicium of the end-user's identity, the indicium of the first information product and the indicium of the second information product; and installing the first information product and the second information product onto a computer associated with the end-user.
摘要:
A receiver receives digital content scrambled using a control word and a user code for the scrambled content. A user inputs the user code that is forwarded to a code extractor that generates the control word and a user identifier from it. The control word is sent to a descrambler, a watermark information generator and a visible watermark insertion unit. The descrambler descrambles the scrambled content using the control word, an invisible watermark insertion unit inserts invisible watermark information obtained from the watermark information generator into the descrambled content and the visible watermark insertion unit inserts the user identifier as a visible watermark. Also provided are a corresponding method for processing digital content and a method and a device for generating the user code.
摘要:
A method, computer program product and computing device for selecting at least one playlist for transfer, the at least one playlist being stored on a first personal media device. The at least one playlist is converted to a common format, thus generating a first common format playlist. Communication is established with a second personal media device. The first common format playlist is transferred to the second personal media device.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for providing a personalized entertainment experience, which may be customized for each user. A user's playback/presentation history and/or user actions may be captured and associated with each played/presented composition. A target time for playback/presentation of a composition to the user may be determined by using a user's playback/presentation history and/or user actions. A customized sequence of compositions may be automatically generated for each user. The personalized sequence may automatically adapt to changing user actions and preferences over time. In one embodiment, a target time for playback or presentation of a composition to a user, is at least partially based on: a cumulative-time of playback or presentation of the composition to a user, and a time when the composition was previously played or presented to the user.

A user's playback/presentation history and/or user actions may be captured and associated with each played/presented composition. A target time for playback/presentation of a composition to the user may be determined by using a user's playback/presentation history and/or user actions. A customized sequence of compositions may be automatically generated for each user. The personalized sequence may automatically adapt to changing user actions and preferences over time. A user rating (preference) may be explicitly provided by the user or may be determined at least partially based on a count, a cumulative-time and/or control-action(s) by the user, that are related to the composition. In one embodiment, a target time for playback or presentation is at least partially based on a rating (preference) of the user for the composition, and at a time when the composition was previously played or presented to the user.
