Abstract

A method and apparatus relating to digital rights management (DRM) in a video processing system. In particular, a method and apparatus for playing content on a first device wherein the digital rights associated with the content are associated with a second device. The first device may or may not be associated with an account having digital rights. The system determines a proximity between a first device and a second device and if said proximity is below a threshold, content is played on said first device according to the rights associated with the second device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) in video processing systems. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for playing content on a first device, wherein a digital right associated with the content is associated with a second device. Background technique [0002] Today, digital content is ubiquitous. Users access large amounts of digital content, such as music, audio / video programming, or text. While providers benefit from this distribution of content, protection of property rights to that content and control of unauthorized distribution are paramount to maintaining this revenue. Today, users access digital content through an ever-expanding array of devices including televisions, set-top boxes, mobile phones, tablets, computers, alarm clocks, watches, car media players, and more. On each device, users must establish their rights to access content through various accounts, usernames, passwords...
