Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1) Binding to the computer, inconvenient to use: the current digital copyright protection technology is basically realized through computer characteristics (such as computer CPUID, hard disk ID, etc.) To the specific owner, the mobility is poor, and the e-book or digital media content must be used on a designated computer, which is inconvenient to use;

[0005] 2) The loss of the digital copyright license affects the user's use: the digital copyright license of the current digital copyright protection technology is separated from the e-book or digital media content, and the user needs to save the authorization file separately
