Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for providing access to electronic works over a network. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention offers a user access to electronic copies of works, such as songs, albums, movies, or music videos, over a network. The user responds to the offer by requesting to access to a particular work. Before such a request is granted, the present invention may verify that the user is authorized to access to the work. In one embodiment, the user verifies that they are authorized to access an electronic copy of the work by demonstrating that they possess a physical copy of the work. In another embodiment, the user verifies that they are authorized to access an electronic copy of the work by demonstrating that they ordered or purchased a copy of the work. If a user's authorization is verified, the user may then be provided with access to an electronic copy of the work by such techniques as downloading or streaming.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are concerned with displaying a data set within a display area of a display device, where the data set includes a plurality of groups of elements, each of the groups including a higher-level element and one or more lower-level elements. Each element may for example form part of a Document Object Model for an HTML document.Elements are processed to identify and render one or more elements in the display area. An element is identified if the region it occupies corresponds with a selected portion of a layout area of the data set. Groups of elements are processed differently in dependence on whether a higher-level element of a group has a pre-defined spatial relationship with respect to one or more lower-level elements in the group, allowing the invention to efficiently process elements which are members of groups for which the pre-defined spatial relationship has been identified.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例涉及在显示设备的显示区域内显示数据集，其中数据集包括多组元素，每个组包括更高级元素和一个或多个下级元素 。 每个元素可以例如形成HTML文档的文档对象模型的一部分。 处理元素以识别和呈现显示区域中的一个或多个元素。 如果其占据的区域对应于数据集的布局区域的选定部分，则识别元素。 根据组中较高级别的元素是否具有关于该组中的一个或多个较低级别元素的预定义的空间关系而对组元素进行不同的处理，允许本发明有效地处理作为组中的成员的元素 已经确定了预定义的空间关系的组。
