Automated Digital Rights Management for Media Mashup Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an effective mechanism for users to create mashups from their own media assets while ensuring compliance with digital rights, leading to copyright issues, especially among amateur consumers who create and distribute mashups without authorization.
Innovation Solution
The system automatically generates digital rights settings for media assets, allowing users to create mashups by modifying rights for purchased media assets, enabling the combination of assets within or across packages, and providing sharing options with restrictions, such as requiring access rights or advertisement viewing for others to access the mashup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users create and distribute mashups without prior authorization, then ease of operation is improved, but copyright compliance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating digital rights settings for media assets before mashup creation. When a user purchases media assets, the system proactively configures permission data to allow mashup creation, eliminating the need for users to seek prior authorization while ensuring copyright compliance is maintained through automated rights management.
2Reliability
If traditional copyright permission systems are used, then intellectual property protection is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating and managing digital rights settings without requiring manual intervention from copyright holders or users. The automated system monitors media asset purchases, generates appropriate permission data, and configures mashup creation rights autonomously, simplifying the overall system while maintaining strong intellectual property protection.
3Ease of operation
If digital rights settings are modified to allow mashup creation, then ease of operation is improved, but control over media asset usage deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by configuring digital rights settings specifically for mashup creation purposes rather than universally altering all usage permissions. The permission data generated is localized to allow mashup creation while maintaining distinct control over other usage rights, enabling differentiated permission management where different aspects of media asset usage have different permission levels.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for managing digital rights settings are provided. In some aspects, the systems and methods described include receiving user input including an order for obtaining access rights to a media asset. Control circuitry determines whether the media asset is associated with a first package of media assets. The control circuitry cross-references a database of user order history to determine whether the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets. If the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets, the control circuitry generates digital rights settings for each media asset in the first package of media assets to enable the user to create a mashup. The mashup includes portions of at least one media asset in the first package. The control circuitry generates a display based on the digital rights settings.
