Description

Technical Field

[0001] This group of systems, methods, and configurations generally relates to technologies for the secure management and distribution of various types of digital rights, such as rights to textual digital assets (e.g., books), rights to graphic or artistic visual digital works (e.g., photographs or paintings), rights to audio-based digital works (e.g., music or audiobook recordings), and / or rights to audio-video digital works (e.g., recordings of stage performances, films, or television media). More specifically, embodiments of this document relate to various configurations of decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing systems (e.g., blockchain-based persistent file-sharing systems) for digital rights management. Background Technology

[0002] Computing and using digital rights management (DRM) has become ubiquitous in modern life. People of all ages (whether for personal, social, or professional reasons) have relatively direct access to a wide variety of computing systems, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, systems or devices that act as terminals or access points to other computers, wearable computing systems (such as smartwatches), and voice-based computing systems, such as those offered by Amazon (RTM) under the trademark Alexa (RTM). These systems can be used to access and utilize certain digital rights. For example, millions of people consume audio DRM through services such as Apple Music (RTM) or Spotify (RTM) using smartphone-based players. Similarly, millions consume audio-video DRM through services such as Netflix (RTM) or Hulu (RTM) using tablets or laptops, and / or consume textual digital assets such as e-books (or "e-books") using handheld digital readers such as Kindle (RTM). As the world continues to accelerate the adoption of DRM, there is a growing need for systems that enable efficient, secure, low-latency management, storage, and distribution of such DRM. This paper proposes various configurations for addressing this challenge by leveraging various aspects of cryptographic and decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing systems, such as persistent, immutable, and robust systems, and potentially blockchain-based systems.

[0034] Figure 1 This illustrates various aspects of the environment used to implement the new digital media identification system (“MIS”2). For example... Figure 1 As shown, this MIS can be used in conjunction with various types of media, such as books, music, and movies. Regardless of the media type, the digital MIS (2) can be configured to create and store a unique digital media identifier for each individual media source it receives. Utilizing this type of digital media identifier can help store digital media more efficiently and securely, and it also has many other advantages, such as its use in alternative environments like digital marketplaces.

[0035] Once a digital media identifier (MIS) is created, it can be used in many environments. One such environment is a digital media exchange (4), where any number of media can be exchanged between individuals or companies. For example, one person (“Jane”) may no longer want the rights to the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” that she has acquired, while another person (“Jack”) may be looking for the same book. In this example, a digital media exchange can help owners like Jane find interested individuals like Jack and facilitate the exchange of goods. Using an MIS, a unique digital identifier can be created for a specific copy of Jane’s book, and this identifier can also indicate the current owner. When used in a digital media exchange (4) environment, the unique digital identifier will be updated after Jack becomes the owner of the copy of “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Now that such an exchange has occurred, the MIS can remove access to the book from Jane’s computer and cellular phone, such as Figure 1 As shown in the configuration. Similarly, for example, MIS could be used to provide access to the book on Jack's cellular phone.

[0036] With technological advancements, the number of users owning digital content rights is growing rapidly. Innovative MIS (Digital Rights Management System) offers these users one of the biggest advantages of ownership: resale capability. Digital book content can be tracked and transferred within a decentralized ecosystem, making it far more secure than current digital rights management standards. This system can be used to disrupt previous digital book business models, creating significant new secondary markets and unlocking new revenue opportunities for publishers and authors. The "smart contract" feature can be used to create new secondary markets for eBooks and audiobooks, where authors and publishers will permanently receive royalties as readers consume, collect, and trade books.

[0037] Figure 2 Showing with Figure 1A flowchart related to the MIS is provided. The boxes in this flowchart can be completed by any of many possible options, such as a program written in a machine-readable language or using random access memory, programmable read-only memory, etc. Furthermore, the boxes can be implemented in different orders and still fall within the scope of novel MIS. Accordingly, this description provides a flowchart of the MIS. Figure 2 The discussion of the boxes shown.

[0038] Therefore, refer to again Figure 2 MIS analyzes the digital media it receives. For example... Figure 1 In the context described, media may be associated with books, music, movies, etc. For example, media could be a book received in a known ".epub" format. Next, the MIS can be configured to separate the content data associated with the received digital media from any other data. For example, story content can be separated from other data such as author names. In the decision box, the MIS can be configured to determine whether other data has been received and can be configured to follow a "no" path if no other data has been received, thereby encrypting the media content. After separating the content data from other data (10), the MIS can be configured to separate graphic data from non-graphic data (12). Examples of graphic data may include images of book covers. In this implementation, graphic data and encrypted content can be uploaded to a decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing system, such as a blockchain file storage system (14), but other implementations may come from different types of file storage options. The term "smart contract" can be defined (16), and a unique digital identifier can then be created (18). In short, MIS can be configured to receive digital media, encrypt the content, upload the encrypted content along with any graphic data to the blockchain, and create a unique digital identifier for all media it receives.

[0039] refer to Figure 3A This demonstrates its use in conjunction with a media verification system. Figure 2 A block diagram (20) of the first alternative implementation of the MIS. In this implementation, Figure 1Digital media exchange is a digital marketplace where buyers are interested in purchasing digital media from sellers. For example, an author (content creator) might write a book, which is sent to a publisher (IP owner) who then publishes it for sale on a digital marketplace. Since the MIS can be configured as a unique identifier for the creation of the book, a media verification system (22) can provide verification of the book's availability for purchase, changes in ownership, and payments received. The MIS can update the content creator and the intellectual property (“IP”) owner of the ongoing transaction, including any associated financial compensation: while this example describes the publisher as a seller in the marketplace, alternative implementations are possible if the content creator is also the controller or owner of the intellectual property, as can happen when someone publishes a book themselves. Furthermore, digital marketplaces allow buyers to become sellers and vice versa, making it easy for buyers to sell their products to other buyers or sellers.

[0040] Figure 3B This is shown in conjunction with the media access system (26). Figure 2 A block diagram relating to a second alternative implementation of the MIS is shown below. The media access system can be housed within a smart device, such as a cellular phone, tablet computer, computer, hot storage, or cold storage. Each media item (such as a book, music, or movie) stored on the smart device can be assigned a unique digital identifier by the MIS, as shown in the reference... Figure 2 The MIS (Media Access Controller) can be configured to allow or restrict access to media stored on the device. For example, the MIS can be configured to restrict access to movies previously stored on the device that the buyer recently purchased via digital exchange. However, the MIS can be configured to continue allowing access to books stored on the device that the buyer has not yet purchased. In this way, the content on a smart device can generally remain reflective of what the user currently owns.

[0041] Figure 3C A block diagram is shown of a third alternative configuration (28) of the MIS used in conjunction with the media verification system (22) and the media access system (26). This implementation is similar to... Figures 3A-3B The implementation described herein allows the media access system to provide access to media purchased by buyers and to revoke a seller's access to media based on transactions occurring in the digital marketplace. By using decentralized file storage to create a Media Information System (MIS) that works in conjunction with the media verification and access systems, media can be exchanged in a more robust and efficient manner without security issues such as so-called "hackability." Furthermore, the MIS can be configured to utilize "smart contract" functionality, enabling the unlocking of long-format media on a user's device and directing fees associated with sales in the digital marketplace.

[0042] Figure 4Showing with Figure 3B-3C A flowchart associated with a media verification system is provided. The boxes in this flowchart can be completed by any of many possible options, such as a program written in a machine-readable language or using random access memory, programmable read-only memory, etc. Furthermore, the boxes can be implemented in different orders and still fall within the scope of novel MIS. Accordingly, this description provides for... Figure 4 The discussion of the boxes shown.

[0043] Therefore, refer to Figure 4 The media verification system receives requests to purchase media, such as "Media A" (32). For example, this request can be made through... Figure 3A The digital market originates from buyers. In response, the media verification system can be configured to obtain a unique digital identifier (34) associated with media A and determine whether the media is available for sale (36). When media A is available for sale, the media verification system can be configured to update its availability to potential buyers (38) and then determine whether the buyer has paid for media A (40). If the buyer has not yet paid for it, a "no" path can be followed back to the box determining the availability of media A. Otherwise, a "yes" path can be followed, and the updated unique digital identifier is written to the blockchain (42). Ownership of media A is then transferred (44).

[0044] Figure 5 Showing with Figure 3B-3C A flowchart associated with a media access system is provided. The boxes in this flowchart can be completed by any of many possible options, such as a program written in a machine-readable language or using random access memory, programmable read-only memory, etc. Furthermore, these boxes can be implemented in different orders and still fall within the scope of a novel MIS. Accordingly, this description provides a... Figure 5 The discussion of the boxes shown.

[0045] refer to Figure 5 The media access system can be configured to receive a unique digital identifier (52) associated with “Media A”, which specifies only the unique digital identifier associated with a particular media. Upon receiving the unique identifier, the media access system can be configured to retrieve an encrypted media fragment (54) stored on a decentralized storage system (such as a blockchain-based peer-to-peer file-sharing system) and verify ownership of Media A (56). If the media access system confirms that ownership of Media A belongs to the owner of the smart device requesting Media A, the media access system can be configured to decrypt (58) and subsequently assemble the media fragment (60) to make Media A accessible to the owner of the smart device (62). Furthermore, the media access system can be configured to periodically check to assess whether ownership of Media A has changed (64) and continue to make the media accessible or disable accessibility as needed (66).

[0046] Figures 6A-6C A partial block diagram (70) illustrates a fourth alternative implementation of MIS when used in conjunction with books. In this implementation, the book's creator can self-publish or use a publisher, thereby creating a digital file of the book in a format such as "ONIX". This digital file can then be further parsed between content and metadata. Figure 6A Starting from the left, all file content can be fragmented, encrypted, and then placed into a decentralized storage system, such as a blockchain-based peer-to-peer file-sharing system. The system can be configured so that this process can typically be completed first, thus the location of the linkable content files is known. Then, the metadata of the graphics, along with links to these content assets, can be uploaded to the blockchain-based storage system. Other book details (such as author, publisher, and date) can be included and are referred to as "some metadata." The system can be configured so that all these events ultimately form the smart contract terms of the metadata, including payment, fee, and royalty structures associated with publishers and content creators.

[0047] To facilitate payments, the MIS can be configured to utilize existing blockchain-based electronic "wallet" addresses configured for payments, as shown in the royalty transfer box (see, for example, [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 6B These boxes can be dynamically created as needed to store specific books or publications. Using smart contracts, the MIS can specify the percentage of fees allocated to different wallets; capture the location of all encrypted files; and collect keys to decrypt these files later. All of this can be deployed as "smart contracts" and configured to generate non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"; unique digital objects with a unique digital identifier). The system can be configured to allow NFTs to be transferred... Figure 6B The separate box is labeled "Resellers / Digital Marketplace". An illustrative MIS can be a pipeline for generating NFTs, allowing other resellers to resell books using a more secure file transfer system that includes inventory management. For example, an alternative implementation could be achieved by generating NFTs that other resellers use in their own digital marketplaces via an MIS.

[0048] exist Figure 6B In the digital marketplace shown, a user can purchase an NFT labeled "User (1)" to distinguish it from another user. When a user purchases it, line 602 is followed, and royalties and fees can be determined by analyzing the smart contract, which is done by the MIS. Once the fees associated with the smart contract are determined, line 604 can be followed (see [link to MIS]). Figure 6B From MIS to distributors / digital marketplaces to publishers and content creators (see...) Figure 6AIn this way, payments can be made to the relevant parties essentially simultaneously according to the contract. Ownership can then be transferred and written to a blockchain-based storage configuration, making it known that the associated unique digital identifier or NFT has been moved to a different wallet because ownership has changed. NFTs allow the import of encrypted file portions (or “shards”; digital assets can be manually or automatically divided into smaller pieces, parts, or fragments, which can be encrypted before being stored on a blockchain-based storage configuration) and can be verified once or multiple times, thus limiting the possibility of someone accessing previously sold books. Assemblers can be configured to rebuild or reassemble files, and validators can be configured to re-check / confirm NFT ownership. Such configurations help ensure that access to any stored files can be disabled in the event that an NFT has been transferred. MIS can be configured to periodically check ownership of media in reading applications on a device. For example, there might be a situation where a device is disconnected from the internet, and a user can access textual digital assets (such as books) where the book text is locally loaded on their computing device. In an exemplary scenario, on a secondary device, a user can sell books still loaded on the original computing device. Once the original device is reconnected, MIS can be configured to check ownership. If ownership changes, it can be configured to disable the user's access and delete the files associated with books that the user no longer owns or licenses.

[0049] exist Figure 6C In the peer-to-peer exchange illustrated, the seller (“User 1”) lists previously purchased books identified by their corresponding NFT for resale. The NFT is then purchased by a new user, “User 2”. While Figure 6C The person-to-person exchange shown in the figure Figure 6B While digital marketplaces differ from traditional ones, alternative implementations can be created by integrating peer-to-peer exchanges into them. For example, a digital marketplace might offer a new copy of a book at the retail price, while offering a resale copy of the same book at a slightly lower price. Once the purchase occurs, one can follow line 606 from... Figure 6C person-to-person exchange Figure 6B The MIS (Manufacturing Provider Interface) enables the automatic determination of royalties and fees based on smart contracts. Once such a determination is made, Line 604 can be followed again, as the book has changed hands, to pay appropriate royalties to the publisher and author based on the smart contract. Once a book is resold, ownership can be transferred and verified on the blockchain, as previously referenced. Figure 6B As described by User 1. For example, it is possible to periodically recheck whether the media on User 2's device is owned by the NFT.

[0050] This implementation method also includes Figure 6BThe image shows a reader software development kit (or "reader SDK"). In one implementation, the reader SDK can be a software toolkit usable by various types of reader devices. For example, any reader can be downloaded and the reader SDK installed to unlock the appropriate content. In this way, the MIS can be used to control the infrastructure related to how books are unlocked and read. In another alternative implementation, a portion of the reader SDK can be provided as open-source software, allowing developers to create enhanced reading experiences.

[0051] Figures 6A-6C Alternative book implementation methods also include anonymous marketing systems, such as Figure 6A As shown in the diagram. In this implementation, the author or publisher can create instances of digital assets (such as books) using associated unique digital identifiers or NFTs. Since NFTs can be stored on blockchain-based storage systems, the MIS can have an address or location, even if they are transferred back and forth due to sales or resales. More specifically, it can follow... Figure 6B The limit is 608 to Figure 6A An anonymous marketing system can be used to deliver "direct push" marketing to users who own specific book titles in their libraries using addresses associated with NFTs. While direct, the marketing may be anonymous as it may be based on the NFT's wallet address. For example, such an anonymous marketing system configuration could be used to send marketing messages to 10,000 people who own specific book titles. Individuals can choose whether to receive (or not receive) such marketing messages by adjusting notification settings on their computing devices. With an anonymous marketing system configuration, authors and publishers can communicate directly with end consumers. Furthermore, an anonymous marketing system configuration can also be used to reward users who meet specific criteria, such as owning a specified number of book titles from a single author. Given book titles in a user's library, the anonymous marketing system can be configured to notify the user when there might be topics of interest, such as a signing event by the same author or a new book title. For example, such a marketing system could also be configured to aggregate data from various authors within a single genre.

[0052] Figures 6A-6B The MIS shown can also be configured to include a book lending feature, which provides users with access to book titles for a limited time. For example, Figure 6BThe smart contract deployed in the system can specify that a user can access a book title within 30 days, thus creating a set of instructions for lending that book title. The MIS can be configured to periodically check and execute instructions as changing conditions are met. When the "return date" is met, the MIS can be configured to either redistribute the NFT from the user's wallet to the custodian's wallet or permanently disable the NFT's file content. This feature can be used to create more efficient configurations for lending book titles based on a set of conditions for digital management. This feature helps libraries, schools, vendors, publishers, authors, or other users lend book titles based on instructions they create and that are executed by the MIS. In one alternative, the lending instructions can be fully customizable; in another, individuals can choose from a set of lending instructions. In any case, lenders can ensure that their book titles will be lent according to the instructions they select.

[0053] Figure 7A Another alternative implementation of a MIS used in conjunction with books is shown (72), which includes a reading system for verification, suitable for new or long-term users. This system can be configured to assess whether a person has read a book by considering factors such as the global average speed at which the book is being read, the specific average speed of that particular book, or, if it is an audiobook, the playback speed. Such factors can form a base speed that can be tested involving individual user speeds. This can be done, for example, by a list determined by dividing the number of words on a particular page by the time it takes for the user to swipe or scroll the page. This list can be used to determine an individual user speed in words per minute, and a permissible deviation around that speed. The verification reading system can then be configured to determine whether the user's reading speed is within or outside the permissible deviation. If it is outside the permissible variance, a "no" path may be followed, and it will not be verified as read. If it is within the permissible deviation, a "yes" path may be followed to determine whether a threshold amount of content, such as 85%, has been completed. If that amount of content has not been completed, a "no" path may be followed, and reading will not be verified. If the threshold has been reached, the "yes" path can be followed, and the book can be verified as read. MIS can be configured to update the user's e-wallet on the blockchain storage, indicating that a particular book has a "read" status. Another implementation of the verified reading system can be configured to offer rewards, which authors or readers can receive. For example, a user could receive 10 points for every 1000 words read, meaning a user would gradually accumulate 200 points for a 20,000-word book, which could also be updated to the blockchain using NFTs. Regardless of whether rewards are used, verified reading systems can be used to help instructors in various departments determine whether students have read designated content and help identify experts who have read a significant portion of books on a particular subject.

[0054] Figure 7B (74) This illustrates an alternative implementation of a validated reading system that includes a book recommendation system within the MIS. Using unique digital identifiers or NFTs, the MIS can be configured to determine if a user owns a particular 10 books in their digital library, and then use information about other users who own similar books in their digital libraries to recommend the purchase of the next book. For example, there might be 500 people who own 90% of the 10 books the user owns. The MIS can be configured not only to consider whether an individual owns the book in their library, but also to look at the percentage of books read by the 500 individuals who own books in different libraries than the user's, and make recommendations accordingly.

[0055] Figures 8A-8C Additional implementations of MIS are shown for use in conjunction with printed digital packages of digital assets. For example, see reference... Figure 8A The diagram illustrates a configuration (76) where a user can purchase a digital copy of a book using a unique digital identifier or NFT. This purchase can create... Figure 8A The lower section (82) shows a print fulfillment path where printed copies of books can be ordered, printed, and delivered to the user. In the print fulfillment path, checks can be performed to determine if the book already exists. If the book does not yet exist in print, it can be printed on demand and delivered to the user. Purchases can also be used to create parallel digital streams that act as digital fulfillment paths, where the user receives the purchased NFT and follows a sequence such as... Figures 6B-6C The process described herein continues until User 1 sells the digital copy or NFT to User 2. At this point, the MIS can review the smart contract for the digital copy and determine whether specified conditions have been met. For example, a digital print package can be configured with criteria specifying the following: send a printed book to a new user each time a digital copy is sold at 75% of the retail price; send printed books only for the first 100 print runs; or send printed books only for the initial purchase, without sending for subsequent purchases. Therefore, the MIS can be configured to send a request to order printed books at the appropriate time.

[0056] Figure 8B A second alternative implementation of the digital print package for MIS is shown (78). Reference Figure 8B The first user purchases a printed book at a point-of-sale location, for example, by using a redeemable code to access an NFT. Alternatively, "User 1" can order a printed copy of the book from the seller's website, thus triggering the print fulfillment process, as described in [reference needed]. Figure 8A The printed copy may include a redeemable code to access the NFT or a digital copy of the book. If a user redeems the code using the system, the user will receive the NFT and can follow the reference... Figures 6A-6BThe described process.

[0057] refer to Figure 8C This illustrates a third alternative implementation (80) of a digital printed package for MIS. In this implementation, a user can purchase a collection that can be specifically defined. For example, it could be all books by a particular author, a specified number of books, or a specified number of printed and digital books. Regardless of how the collection is defined, MIS can be configured to evaluate whether a user meets the collection criteria using, for example, a smart contract. When the criteria are determined to be met, MIS can be configured to reward the user with another NFT, which can be proprietary content not publicly available (such as text annotations, or other digital assets, such as audio or audio-video assets with restricted access). For example, exclusive or special content could include a printed copy of a book with an autographed title, a limited edition book, or other collectibles. Regardless of the method used, MIS can be configured to add the rewarded NFT to the user's wallet, making it another item owned or licensed by the user and available for sale on a digital marketplace if needed and / or appropriate. Therefore, refer to Figure 1-8C Variants were disclosed in which the media identification system can address various digital rights market objectives. For example, the system may include one or more computing devices configured to analyze digital media, separate content data from other data, encrypt certain content data, separate graphic data from other data, upload encrypted content data to a decentralized blockchain storage configuration, upload graphic data to a decentralized blockchain storage configuration, define certain smart contract terms, and create one or more unique media identifiers.

[0058] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 This illustrates a general paradigm of digital rights access, where a user desires access to digital resources (90), such as textual digital assets, graphic or artistic digital assets, audio digital assets, and / or audio-video digital assets, but must pass through some gateway or barrier to obtain rights and access. For example, as mentioned above, considerations such as payment (92) to a processor that can provide one or more forms of access keys (such as digital asset keys) must typically be provided. Such keys can also be managed by a security management (94) function that controls the access gateway or security configuration (96) designed to block access to the digital resource or asset (98) until all necessary barriers are met and confirmed. Thus, for example... Figure 10The typical process illustrated can begin with a user wishing to access a digital resource (102). The user can engage a rights-purchasing provider to offer compensation, such as money, in exchange for the right to use or access the digital resource (such as a limited license that may be subject to various factors such as time, region, computing device, etc.) (104). If the exchange is successful, the user can be provided with digital access means, such as a password, digital key, or other gateway pass or privileged authentication, to obtain appropriate access to the digital resource (108). Based on appropriate credentials, the user can be allowed to bypass a security configuration to obtain such access (110), and credentials and other details associated with the user (e.g., identity verification) can be verified from time to time for continued or further access (112).

[0059] refer to Figure 11 As mentioned above, with the continued development and evolution of distributed storage technologies (such as peer-to-peer file-sharing systems, which can be immutable, persistent, secure, and blockchain-based), there is an opportunity to provide enhanced levels of secure access to selected digital assets. Figure 11 As shown, digital assets can be selected to be offered on a transaction or access system configured to securely present certain digital assets using asset encryption (116). To generate so-called “digital encrypted assets” or “DEA” involving the transaction configuration shown, the selected digital assets can be divided into single or multiple parts (118). Each part can be encrypted with a digital key (which may be referred to as an “asset key”) (120), and each encrypted part can be uploaded to an immutable / decentralized storage configuration, such as a blockchain-based peer-to-peer decentralized file-sharing system (122). Records relating to the content and / or references of each uploaded part (which may be referred to as an “upload list”) can be maintained (124), thereby providing secure encrypted storage of the subject digital assets. See again Figure 11 Based on appropriate digital access credentials, a user may be authorized to access at least a portion of a target digital asset that has been decrypted and reassembled using an asset key and an uploaded manifest (126). A user may utilize at least a portion of the target digital asset using a local computing device such as a digital book reader or a digital music player (128).

[0060] refer to Figure 12A and Figure 12B , showing with Figure 11 Similar to the embodiments described herein, further processing details pertain to the various steps associated with this embodiment.

[0061] refer to Figure 12AThe computing system can be prepared to create decentralized cryptographic assets (“DEAs”) associated with a specific digital asset for effective use in a secure digital rights market (132). The system’s “Bundler” feature can be configured to receive the digital asset and associated input (e.g., an electronic publication or ebook document associated with a textual digital asset, possibly along with one or more images associated with the digital asset’s art cover; these inputs may include, for example, self-contained web pages or .ZIP files), encrypt and create a DEA suitable for secure storage on a decentralized storage (such as a blockchain-based peer-to-peer decentralized file-sharing system) (134). The Bundler can be configured to generate (e.g., by using a pre-existing algorithm) two unique keys, namely an asset key and a publication key, both of which may include strings configured to be specific to a unique encryption (136). Asset keys can be used to encrypt (138) one or more portions of a subject digital asset (e.g., by chapter, by size (such as a predetermined section size), etc.; the system can be configured to automatically perform such partitioning into portions; or it can be retained as a single portion, depending on storage configuration and capabilities related to latency, throughput, and other required operational factors), and can create an “asset inventory” associated with partitioning and encryption. As described above, subject digital assets can be partitioned by associated computing systems by size (such as by a predetermined file section size), by chapter, as often done by the creator of a work (such as a text digital asset of a book), by geometric sections, as in the case of art visual digital assets (such as images of photographs or paintings), and / or by sequential sections, as in different musical works on a given recorded music album audio asset. The portions can be selected / partitioned manually or automatically and can be named such as “fragment,” “spine,” or “spine section” for encryption before uploading. Encrypted portions (which may also include one or more unencrypted portions, such as thumbnails of the cover) may be uploaded to decentralized storage, such as blockchain-based peer-to-peer decentralized file-sharing systems (e.g., systems offered under the trademarks IPFS (RTM) or InterPlanetary File System (RTM)), and an “upload manifest” document or file may be created, encrypted (e.g., using an asset key), and stored to track details of each upload and asset portion (140). A “published manifest” may be created, which includes the asset key and details related to the associated upload manifest information / metadata; these may be encrypted using a publication key (142).The "librarian" attribute can be used to store publication keys. For example, this attribute can store such publication keys in various forms, such as on a secure centralized server, a private secure server (such as behind a corporate firewall), or, depending on the specific application, in another less secure location (such as on a user's digital wallet) (144). After completing the above steps, the DEA can be certified as ready to be minted and uploaded to a secure decentralized storage (such as a blockchain-based persistent peer-to-peer file-sharing system) (146).

[0062] refer to Figure 12B This illustrates various elements of the access embodiment configuration to facilitate user access to the distributed storage DEA as described above. (Return to Reference) Figure 12B Users may expect or need to utilize digital assets and may have available digital wallets (152). Users may participate in computer-based digital asset marketplaces (such as DEA), and the marketplace and users may approve or allow digital wallet participation (154). The system may be configured to automatically engage users' digital wallets and inspect content (156). The system may be configured to utilize users' digital wallet information to confirm decentralized peer-to-peer (such as blockchain) storage related to the relevant rights granted to users (e.g., based on a specific policy ID and asset ID associated with a given digital asset) (158). The system may be configured to set up payloads for users based on manual or automatic selection of digital assets (e.g., manual, recommended, or automatic selection of various books, music, etc., depending on configurable user settings) and appropriate payment configurations (160). Users may need to use their digital wallets to provide confirmation or digital signatures related to the subject payload (162). The user's digital signature can be sent back, and the system can be configured to verify (i.e., using a public key) that the user has signed; if everything is confirmed, the system has the right to perform cryptographic verification on the user's specific digital assets (164), and can query the "librarian" function to provide the publication key closely associated with the specific policy ID / asset ID of the asset of interest (166). Still refer to Figure 12BIn one embodiment, the librarian function can also be configured to check the payload (e.g., whether a correct digital signature exists; whether the timestamp is still valid) before returning a specific publication key (168). The user's local computing system (which may be referred to as a "client" computing system; it may be a personal computing device, such as a smartphone, laptop, smartwatch, smart TV, tablet, media reader, or many other computing devices, as described above) can be configured to use the publication key to decrypt the uploaded list, thereby revealing the asset content and associated asset key (170). The user's local computing system can be configured to use the asset key to decrypt the asset list to reveal a link to the digital asset portion (172). Finally, using the asset key and the link to the digital asset portion, the system's "Assembler" function can be configured to retrieve all the data, decrypt it, and present it in an appropriate format for the user to use on their local computing system (e.g., an ePub might bring a web reader, an audiobook might bring an audio player, legal documents might bring a PDF reader, etc.). Various operational couplings between systems and their components can be achieved using network connections such as wired or wireless networks, including connections via IEEE 802.11, smartphone-type mobile telecommunications connections, fiber optic or copper ground cables, etc. For example, depending on security, latency, and integration factors, distributed computing assets may be located in the same location or not.

[0063] Another embodiment relates to a secure system for providing limited access to a purchasing interface, comprising: a client computing system located locally to a user and configured to display a graphical user interface configured to facilitate the purchase of digital assets; and a distributed peer-to-peer file-sharing system operatively coupled to the client computing system and configured to facilitate the assembly and use of purchased digital assets, which undergo a series of partitions into multiple parts, each part being encrypted using an asset key, the encrypted part being stored on the peer-to-peer file-sharing system, and an inventory document being created based on the partitioning, encryption, and storage; wherein, after presenting the asset key, the purchased digital assets can be securely reassembled by the user-operated client computing system, enabling the user to operate the purchased digital assets to complete the purchase, which would otherwise be unavailable.

Decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing systems may include blockchain-based persistent file-sharing systems. Inventory documents can be configured to contain metadata related to the content of the encrypted parts. Inventory documents may be encrypted. Purchased digital assets can only be securely reassembled by a user-operated client computing system after the asset keys and inventory documents have been presented.

[0064] Another embodiment relates to a secure system for providing limited access to digital assets, comprising: a client computing system located locally to a user and configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to facilitate the use of the digital assets upon successful fulfillment of pre-defined prerequisites; and a distributed peer-to-peer file-sharing system operatively coupled to the client computing system and configured to facilitate the assembly and use of purchased digital assets, the purchase of which involves a series of partitions into multiple parts, encryption of each part using an asset key, storage of the encrypted parts on the peer-to-peer file-sharing system, and creation of an inventory document based on the partitioning, encryption, and storage; wherein, after the presentation of the asset key and the inventory document, and upon confirmation of fulfillment of the pre-established prerequisites, the digital assets can be securely reassembled by the user-operated client computing system, enabling the user to operate the GUI to utilize the digital assets, which would otherwise be inaccessible. The client computing system may include a personal computing device. Personal computing devices may be selected from the group consisting of: smartphones, personal computers, tablet computers, media readers, smart meters, set-top box computing systems, and integrated smart TVs. Client computing systems can be operatively coupled to a decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing system using a network connection. The network connection can be a wired or wireless network.

Decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing systems may include blockchain-based persistent file-sharing systems. Inventory documents can be configured to contain metadata related to the content of encrypted portions. Inventory documents can be encrypted.

[0065] Another embodiment relates to a secure system for providing location-based limited access to digital assets, comprising: a client computing system located locally at the user's location and configured to display a graphical user interface for facilitating the use of the digital assets; and a distributed peer-to-peer file-sharing system operatively coupled to the client computing system and configured to facilitate the assembly and use of purchased digital assets that have undergone a series of partitions into multiple parts, each part being encrypted using an asset key, the encrypted parts being stored on the peer-to-peer file-sharing system, and an inventory document being created based on the partitioning, encryption, and storage; wherein, after the asset key and inventory document, along with information relating to the user's location, are presented, the digital assets can be securely reassembled by the client computing system, operated by the user at least partially based on the user's location in a delivery configuration.

[0067] refer to Figure 13-21 In various embodiments, it may be desirable to facilitate the simplified use of blockchain-based security and access configurations for various business scenarios, where a unique promotional code or access code associated with a digital rights access opportunity is provided to a specific user. For example, refer to... Figure 13 In one embodiment, a user may receive a promotional code (e.g., via delivery using a card or other physical delivery element, or via electronic distribution in various forms such as email or electronic coupons) (202). The user may wish to redeem the promotional code (e.g., relying on the promotional code, the user may be authorized to receive licensed access to ebooks, music, artwork, or other media) (204). The user may enter the promotional code and be directed to a gateway that offers the user an alternative to using a pre-existing password wallet, or allows the system to create a new wallet for the promotion in a non-custodial manner (206). If the user chooses to create a new wallet, the system may be configured to facilitate the creation and binding of the new wallet in a non-custodial manner, wherein the system never has direct storage access to the associated original unencrypted seed phrase, but instead stores an encrypted version that can only be decrypted using a PIN number known to the user, configured to temporarily (e.g., never store the user's PIN in any memory other than temporary main compute memory) decrypt the seed phrase and restore the wallet so that it can be fully utilized by the user (208). Using a temporarily decrypted seed phrase, the wallet can be restored for full use by the user (such as sharing assets with others or deleting assets) (210). The temporary session for wallet restoration can be completed by the user and a system configured to specifically lose access to the user's PIN, thus keeping the wallet secure, encrypted, and unsupervised by the system (212).

The user may use a gateway to enter the access code, which allows the user to create and use a password wallet in a non-custodial configuration (218). The system may be configured to facilitate the creation and binding of this new wallet in a non-custodial manner, where the system never has direct storage access to the associated original unencrypted seed phrase, but instead stores an encrypted version that can only be decrypted using a PIN number known to the user, configured to temporarily (e.g., never storing the user's PIN in any storage other than temporary main compute memory) decrypt the seed phrase and restore the wallet so that it can be fully utilized by the user (220). Using the temporarily decrypted seed phrase, the wallet can be restored for the user's full use (e.g., sharing assets with others or deleting assets) (222). A temporary wallet recovery session can be completed by the user and a system configured to specifically lose access to the user's PIN, keeping the wallet secure, encrypted, and unregulated to the system (224).
