Digital product permission management method and server

Abstract

The invention provides a digital product permission management method and a digital product permission management server. When an embodiment of a digital product is purchased, state information of the digital product in a database of the digital product permission management server is marked as undistributed; the permission of the digital product can be transferred to arbitrary terminal equipment in which a purchaser is logged at the moment; the state information is marked as distributed when the permission is transferred to the terminal equipment; and the permission cannot be distributed to any terminal equipment at the moment. If the digital product is not used, a return command is fed back to the digital product permission management server, and the state information is reset to be undistributed; if the digital product is used, usage information is marked on the terminal equipment firstly, and the state information is marked as used when the terminal equipment establishes communication connection with the digital product permission management server; and the permission of the embodiment of the digital product is disabled. The digital product permission management method and the digital product permission management server provided by the invention can be used for protecting copyright of digital products, and effectively prevent theft phenomenon of the digital products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rights management, in particular to a management method and a server for using rights of digital products. Background technique [0002] With the development of information technology, especially the advancement of network information technology and automatic control technology, there are more and more program codes or digital products used to control the automatic operation of equipment in the prior art. At present, many digital products are published on network servers and can be downloaded and used by all users for free. However, in practical commercial applications, digital product creators publish digital products developed with a lot of hard work on network servers. In order to protect their own rights and interests, users generally need to purchase the right to use the digital products. As a virtual product, a digital product cannot be substantially possessed, so it can only be expressed in an ind...

Problems solved by technology

In general, each digital product instance has one and only one right to use. Since there is currently no restriction on the use rights of this digital product instance, users can take advantage of this loophole to reuse digital product instances, such as converting digital The use rights of product instances are assigned to multiple terminal devices owned by the user at the same time; or the same digital product instance is used multiple times on the same terminal device; The instance returned to the server and asked for a refund, etc., resulting in the abuse of the copyright of the digital product

Therefore, it is difficult to ensure that each instance of a digital product is used within a certain range and protect the rights and interests of the creator of the digital product itself

[0004] At present, there is no suitable method to enable the user to use the instance of the digital product purchased by the user only once; and when the user owns multiple terminal devices, only when the instance of the digital product is not used can be returned to the server, and then redistributed to other terminal equipment owned by the user to ensure that it can be used correctly
