DRM Language Conversion Intermediary for Client-Side Media Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional digital rights management systems face compatibility issues due to differences in programming languages between media players and DRM software development kits, preventing effective protection of digital media content.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that involves a playing module, browser plugin module, and decrypting module to acquire and transfer addresses and tokens, enabling the decryption and playback of digital media content by indirectly implementing data transfer between the playing module and decrypting module, thereby protecting content using DRM technology on the client end.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a player is implemented using one language and DRM SDK using another language, then each component can be developed independently with its own language advantages, but compatibility between the player and DRM SDK is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a language conversion component that acts as an intermediary between the player (in first language) and DRM SDK (in second language). This converter translates function calls and data structures between the two languages, enabling communication while maintaining language independence. The intermediary resolves the compatibility issue without forcing either component to change its implementation language.
2Reliability
If DRM technology is implemented on the client end, then digital media content can be protected from unauthorized playback and duplication, but language compatibility issues prevent the implementation
Solution Approach 1:
The language conversion component enables DRM implementation on the client end by bridging the gap between the player's language and the DRM SDK's language. This allows content protection functionality to be integrated into the client without requiring the entire system to be implemented in a single language, thus achieving both content protection and language flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves universal compatibility by supporting multiple languages through the conversion component. The DRM implementation becomes language-agnostic, able to work with players implemented in any language as long as the appropriate conversion rules are applied. This multi-language support enables broader deployment of content protection across diverse technical environments.
