The invention disclosed in the field of invention is broadly related to electronic commerce The field is particularly related to a system and related systems for the secure transmission and management of digital assets such as print media, movies, video games, and music via global communication networks such as the Internet and the World Wide Web. Utility. 3. Description of related technologies The use of global distribution systems such as the Internet to distribute music, movies, computer programs, pictures, video games, and other insights continues to grow. At the same time, owners and publishers of valuable digital content have slowed their acceptance of the use of the Internet to distribute digital assets for several reasons. The first reason is that everyone fears unauthorized copying or plagiarism of digital content. The electronic delivery of digital content removes several obstacles to plagiarism. One of the obstacles removed by electronic distribution is the physical recordable media (Example 5- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNTS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 1222057 A7

Employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, consumer cooperatives (such as floppy disks or CD-ROMs) print their own needs. Although the number of media is ‘in the case of using a blank green tape or a physical entity, it ’s worth US $, but it always costs money. In the case of distribution ::: 中 中’, physical media is no longer needed. Because the system delivers content in the form of ::, the cost of physical media is not a factor. The content is the content of the content itself.:,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,-,-An analogy format, relative to digital only. Stored content.

Each subsequent copy makes a copy (sometimes called 'quality is lower than the original quality-# quality is not reduced when pictures are stored digitally. Every copy and every — Generation copies are as clear and sharp as the original pictures. Due to the perfect digital copy plus the integration of electronically distributed content at a very low cost and the widespread distribution of content via the Internet ^, unauthorized Plagiarism and distribution of copies become easier. Just by pressing a few keys of the keyboard, illegal copyers can transmit hundreds or even thousands of perfectly copied digital contents via the Internet. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that Protection and security of digital assets distributed electronically. Digital content providers want to establish a secure digital content global distribution system that protects content ownership and human rights. Issues in building a digital content distribution system include development for digital content Electronic distribution, rights management, and asset protection systems. Digital content distributed electronically includes things like print media, Movies, video games, programs, TV, multimedia, and music, etc. -6- This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇x 297 mm) — — — — — — — — 丨 丨 — ·丨 丨 丨 丨 丨 丨 丨 "ST · 丨 丨 丨 丨 丨 I (Please read the notes on the back before writing this page) 1222057 A7 B7 V.

Digitally-available digital distribution systems in the market such as Music Network and other systems provide the transmission of digital data via a secured and unsecured electronic network. When using a secured electronic network, the requirements for digital content providers to distribute digital data to a wide range of audiences are greatly reduced. When using unsecured networks such as the Internet and the World Wide Web, digital content can be securely delivered to users using encryption. However, once the encrypted digital content is decrypted on the user's machine, it is easy for the user to redistribute the digital content without authorization. Therefore, there is currently a need for a secure digital content electronic distribution system that provides protection for digital assets and ensures that even if digital content is distributed to consumers, this paper applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) 1222057

Description of the Invention (5 After the consumers and cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy, the printers and enterprises of consumer cooperatives can also protect the rights of content providers. Therefore, rights management needs to be able to control the full distribution of materials, the authorization of contracts, and the use of digital assets. Another reason why digital content owners have slowed their acceptance of electronic distribution is that some = content owners want to maintain and promote existing distribution channels. Most content owners sell through retailers. In the music market, these Retailers in the U.S. include Tower Records, Peaches, Blockbuster, C ^ ixiut City, and others. Many of these retailers have websites that allow Internet users to shop through the Internet and send them via email For users to choose from. Music website package

Boulevard, and Columbia House. The use of electronic distribution may make it impossible to differentiate between 11 retail stores, and there is no difference from the content owner, especially on the World Wide Web. Therefore, there is currently a need to provide a way for electronic content retailers such as pictures, video games, music, programs, and video products to differentiate between each other and content owners when they sell music via electronic distribution. Content owners prepare their digital content for electronic distribution via distribution sites such as electronic stores. E-shops on the Internet or e-shops through other online services want to differentiate each other through their product lines and product promotions. Traditional stores (that is, non-electronic and non-online stores analogous to electronic stores) use product promotions, product salespeople, product samples, free return policies, and other promotions to differentiate themselves from competitors . However, in the online world where content providers add conditions for using digital content, electronic stores are differentiated. -8- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) --- ----------------- Order --------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 1222: 057 A7

The mix on the radio station may be different from the mix for dance tracks, or the CD mix that ordinary consumers can gamble. Inventory and tracking These different mix versions can be quite cumbersome In addition, many recording masters often reissue old recordings in various subsequent publishing series, such as “selected collections”, or arrange into original soundtracks and other publishing series, or other arrangements As more content is provided digitally, the need to remix or reprocess and encode the content for power delivery also grows. Content owners often need to use the old recording format as a guide to choose the right one And re-processed and encoded the # recordings, and then distributed them through electronic distribution. Content providers who want to use their old format to assist them in re-issuing old recordings to power sub-distribution The above situation applies.

However, 'compression' is not without its drawbacks. Most compression involves loss of some information ’and is therefore called lossy compression. The inner valley provider must decide which compression algorithm to use and the required compression level. For example, in music, digital content or songs may have quite different characteristics depending on the type of music. The compression algorithm and compression level chosen for a certain type of sentence may not be a good choice for another type of music. Content providers may find that certain combinations of compression algorithms and compression levels are quite suitable for a certain music type, such as classical music, but cannot be obtained for another type of music, such as heavy metal music; a satisfactory result. In addition, green tone engineers often have to adjust the tone slightly: equalization, dynamic range adjustment, and other pre-processing. 2 11 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please (Read the notes on the back before filling out this page)

V. Description of the invention (20) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The content control is activated by the end-user playback application program (195) executed on the end-user device. The application embeds a digital code into each copy of content. The digital code specifies the allowable number of copies and playbacks. The digital watermark is used to generate the digital code, so that his end-user playback application (195) cannot know the digital code, and makes the digital code resistant to attempts to change. In an alternative embodiment, the digital code is only saved as part of the use conditions associated with the content (13). When digital content (113) is accessed in a standard end-user device, the ft end-user playback application (195) reads the watermark in order to check usage restrictions and update the watermark when needed. If the required use of the content does not meet the usage conditions, for example, the number of copies is used up, the end user device will not execute the request. Digital watermarks also provide a way to identify the source of authorized or unauthorized copies of content. The content owner embeds an initial watermark into the content in order to identify the content owner, specify copyright information, specify distribution geographic areas, and add other relevant information. A second watermark is embedded into the content on the end-user device in order to identify the content purchaser (or license) and end-user device, the specified purchase or license conditions and dates, and any other relevant information. Because watermarks become an inseparable part of the content, whether the copy is an authorized island or unauthorized, the content must contain these watermarks. Therefore, regardless of where the content is stored and regardless of the source of the content, digital content must contain information about the source and permitted use of the content. This information can be used to combat illegal use of the content. 23- This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) Order --------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page} 2.

Invention description (30) Block cipher. Segment passwords use one bit of data at a time to encrypt data. DES is a τ official encryption standard of the US government. It has a 64-bit segment length and uses 56-bit gold. Triple-DES is often used to increase the security that simple DES can achieve. RS A Data Security (RSA Data Security) designed RC2. RC2 uses a variable Jinyu-length password and has a 64-bit sector length. RC4, also designed by RSA Data Security, is a bitstream cipher with a variable key length (s t r e a m c i p h e r). Bitstream ciphers operate on a single data bit at a time. RSA data security claims that in RC4, each output byte requires eight to sixteen machine operations. IBM has designed a fast algorithm called SEAL. SEAL is a bit-streaming algorithm that uses a variable-length key and is optimized for 32-bit processors. SEAL requires approximately five basic machine instructions in each data byte. If the 160-bit key used has been pre-processed into the internal table, a computer using a 486 CPU at 50 MHz will execute the SEAL code at a rate of 7.2 million bytes per second.

In the secure digital content dual-user distribution system 100, the private distribution system 100 uses public communication. ㈣:% Zhizhi and other small data fragments are encrypted. The public key algorithm uses two keys, 0 # and ^. The two master keys are mathematically related. Therefore, the Zala7 encrypted with one key can be decrypted with another key. All of the keys are ‘secure, (private key), and the second key (public key) is distributed publicly. In order to protect the security of the confidential information using the public key algorithm, the message is encrypted by the recipient's public Jinyu. Only recipients who have a ^ = Mymetra can decrypt the message. A public to = 泱 algorithm is also used to generate digital signatures. Secret keys are used for this purpose. Information related to digital signatures is coming soon. The most commonly used public key algorithm is the RSA public key cipher. RSA public key ciphers have become the de facto standard for public keys in the industry. Other algorithms that are also quite good for encryption and digital signatures include E1Gamal and Rabin. RS A is a variable key length cipher. The symmetric golden algorithm is much faster than the public key algorithm. The speed of 'DES in software is approximately at least 100 times that of rSA. Therefore, RS A is not used to encrypt large amounts of data.

V. Description of the Invention (32) In the secure digital content electronic distribution system 100, the sender of the SC (s) digitally signs the SC (s) to protect the integrity of the Sc (s). Generally, in order to generate a digital signature of a message, the owner of a message first calculates the message digest (to be described below), and then uses the owner's secret key to encrypt the remote message digest. Deliver the message with its signature. Any recipient of a child's message can first decrypt it using the public key of the owner of the message to recover the message digest and verify the digital signature. The violating recipient then calculates a digest of the received message and compares the digest to the recovered digest. If the message has not been altered during the distribution process', the calculated digest must be the same as the recovered digest. In the secure digital content electronic distribution system 100, because SC (S) contains several data parts, a summary is calculated for each part, and a summary summary is calculated for the summaries of the sequential parts. The secret summary of the Sc (s) issuer is used to encrypt the summary digest. The encrypted summary digest is the SC (s) digital signature of the sender. The summary of each part and the digital signature are included in the ontology of SC (s). The recipient of sc (s) utilizes the received digital signature and trowel digest, and the integrity of the SC (s) and its components is clarified. A one-way hash algorithm is used to calculate a message digest. A messy algorithm takes a variable-length input message and converts the input message into a fixed-length string, that is, a message digest. The one-way clutter algorithm operates in only one direction. That is, it is easy to calculate a digest of an input message, but it is very difficult (computationally infeasible) to extract ^ from it. Because of the nature of the one-way scramble function, we can consider a message self-digest as the fingerprint of the message. -35- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) '&quot; &quot; &quot; &quot; 1 -------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) Order — Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Consumer Consumption Cooperative?

Digital certificate A digital certificate is used to prove or verify the identity of a person or entity who has transmitted a digitally signed message. A certificate is a digital document issued by a certification authority that combines a public key with a person or shell. The certificate includes the public key, the name of the person or entity, the expiration date, the name of the certificate authority, and other information. The certificate also contains the digital signature of the certification authority. When a consistent body (or person) sends a message signed with its public key and accompanied by its digital certificate, the recipient of the message uses the consistent name from the certificate to decide whether to accept the message. In the secure digital content electronic distribution system, each SC (s) except the one issued by the end-user device 109 contains a certificate of the producer of the Sc (s). Because many end users do not need to obtain a certificate or hold a certificate issued by a non-authentication certification center, the end user does not need to include the certificate in their certificate. In the secure digital content electronic distribution system _, the clearing house distributes to the electronic digital content provider ㈣3. As a result, end-users can set up independent and mutually authenticated secure digital content electronic distribution systems at content stores 103.

The following are some examples of store usage conditions 5 19 in an embodiment where the content 113 is music: • Songs can be recorded. • Songs can be played several times. C. Overview of the process and processing of the secure container object The content provider 101 establishes an intermediary material SC (s) 620, and uses the intermediary material SC (s) 620 to define content such as songs, etc.]. Content 113 itself is not included in these SC (s), because the capacity of content 113 is usually too large for the electronic digital content store 103 and end users, and cannot be efficient only for accessing descriptive intermediary data Download container objects. Sc (s) instead contains an external Uniform Resource Locator (URL) pointing to the content. SC (s) also contains intermediary materials that provide descriptive information related to Content 113 and any other such as a CD cover picture in the case of music and / or a digital audio clip in the case of Song Content 113 Related information. The electronic digital content store 103 downloads its authorized intermediary material sc (s) 62〇 'and creates a quote SC⑴. In short, the offer Sc (s) 64 丨 contains some additional information from the brokerage material SC⑷620 and BOM, as well as electronic digital content store 103. When the quotation% ⑷641 is established, a new BOM of the quotation SC⑷64 丨 is generated.

Invention Description (58) End-user device 109. One function of the clearing house 105 is to decrypt the watermark instruction from the report 2SC (s) 641 and the symmetric key 623 required to decrypt the valley 113 from the content sc (s) 63. One encrypted symmetric key 623 record actually contains more than one actually encrypted symmetric golden wheel 623. Before performing this encryption, the M provider 101 can choose to append its name to the actual Jinyu 623. Encrypting the name of the content provider 1101 together with the symmetric key 623, it can be secure against counterfeit content providers 1 through the use of legal sc (s) to create their own intermediary data sc⑴62〇 and content SC (S ) 630. The clearing house 05 verifies that the name of the content provider 101 encrypted together with the symmetric key 623 matches the name of the content provider i 0 i in the SC (s) certificate. ~ If the clearing house 105 needs to make any changes to the watermark instructions, the clearing house 105 decrypts the symmetric key 623, then modifies the watermark instructions, and uses a new symmetric gold loser 623 to encrypt these floating cut instructions again. After the evening, the symmetrical Jinyu 623 was re-established using the public Jinyu 661 of the end-user device 109. The clearing house 105 also decrypts other symmetric key centers 3 in Sc (s) γ and uses the public key 661 of the end-user device 09 to re-assign these pairs to private life 623. Clearing House 105 establishes a license sc (s) 66〇 containing a new encrypted symmetric key = 3 and an updated watermark instruction, and responds to Ding Zao SC (s) 650, and transmits the license sc 许可 66〇 To end-user device 109. If the processing of the order Sc⑷650 has not been successfully completed, the clearing house 105 sends a website or equivalent information that reports the failure of the authorization process back to the end-user device 109.

When generating the intermediate data SC (s) 620, the content provider 101 performs encryption of the symmetric key 623. One symmetric key 623 is used to decrypt the watermark instruction, and the other symmetric key is used to decrypt the content 113 and any encrypted intermediary data. The content 113 can represent a single song or all songs on a CD, so a different symmetric key 623 can be used for each song. The watermark instruction is included in the SC (s) 620 part of the intermediary information in the order SC (s) 650. Content 113 and encrypted intermediary data are stored in content SC (s) 630 on the hosted content website. The encrypted content 113 and the intermediary in the content SC (s) 630 ^ The URL and composition of the material is divided into the key description part of the intermediary information SC (s) 620 in the order sc (彡) 65〇 . The clearing house 05 uses its secret key to decrypt the symmetric keys 623, and then uses the public key 661 of the end-user device 109 to encrypt each such symmetric key. Customization = SC (S) 650 retrieves the public key 6 6 丨 of the end-user device 丨 09.

In a preferred embodiment, the predetermined time is a few seconds. In a predetermined time, the coding rate of 4 children is used to calculate a new rate factor Rnw. In step 1108, a new rate factor RNEW is calculated as Rnew = (length of the encoded digital content) / (length of time) when the length of time and the amount of content i 13 encoded by the user are known. In step 1109, the content 113 is encoded, and the encoding status is displayed using the previously calculated rate factor Rnew. The encoding speed factor Rnew is then stored in step 1107 for future use in the encoding algorithm and encoding bit transmission rate. In step 1103, if the selected algorithm has a previously calculated rate factor Rstored, the inner valley 1 13 encoding is known in step 1 1 04 and the progress is displayed using the previously calculated rate factor Rstored. At the same time, a current rate factor is calculated for the selected frame rate and bit transmission rate in step 1105. In step 1106, the current rate factor is used to update the stored mean of the rate factor rnew = (Rst0red + Rcurrent). This repeated update of the rate factor can make the determination of the coding rate more and more accurate each time a specific coding algorithm and the bit 70 transmission rate are continuously used.

The Γ-type allows users to perform the above-mentioned water-flooding operation. The owner tool program uses audio watermark technology to apply the content 113 information to the song building. The content provider Junte Yu 7 gave a final decision on the actual information to be written. The front-end watermarking tool program can obtain this information, so the local iM can be added to the watermark function in the watermark function. In this way, there is a synchronization requirement for the intermediary information and input tool program 161, so as to ensure that the data assimilation and input tool program 161 obtain the information first, and then the audio marks of the songs are processed after cooking. Unless the watermark information is obtained, the code of law performs audio processing on remote songs. The application of the watermark is the first step of audio processing, which is a common step for all encodings of curl. As long as it can pass the test of encoding technology, you only need to perform a watermarking procedure for each song. '' Various watermarking techniques are well known and available on the market. The 'W-side watermarking tool program can support a variety of industry standard floating water tooling programs. 2 · Pre-processing and compression tool program The pre-processing and compression tool program enables users to execute the above-126- This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 grid (210x297?

Pre-processing and contracting procedures of the invention description (124) 809. Audio coding involves two procedures. The coding is basically (a music content .. in the example) a PCM audio Stream performs a lossy compression algorithm. Usually the encoder can be adjusted to produce various playback bit stream transmission rates according to the required audio quality level. Higher quality will result in larger file capacity, and Because the file capacity of high-quality content 113 may become too large, the download time of high-quality content 113 may become too long, and the use of standard 28,800bps modems is sometimes prohibited. , Content Provider 10 may provide various digital content qualities for download, so as to satisfy customers who are impatient and use narrow-band networks, and these customers do not want to consume Wait for hours to download; At the same time, it can satisfy audio fans or customers who use broadband networks. These customers either only buy high-quality content 1 1 3 'or a high-speed connection. The compression algorithm has some technical Change in order to generate a lower bit rate reproduction of content 1 丨 3. The algorithm (ie MpEG,? C3: ATRAC) and compression level can be used to change the technology. In order to obtain a higher compression level, Before transmitting to the compression algorithm, the data is usually resampled at the lowest sampling rate. In order to get more efficient compression with less loss of transmission, or to avoid extreme signals in a certain frequency range Lost, digital content may sometimes need to adjust the equalization level of some 位 or adjust the dynamic range of green sounds. The requirements for content pre-processing have a direct correlation with the rendering algorithm and the required compression level In some cases, the type of content (such as the type of music) can be successfully used as a basis for determining pre-processing requirements.

This paper scale applies the Chinese National Standard (CNTS) A4 specification (210 printed by the Consumer Property Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1222057 A7 B7 V. Invention Description (125) Songs within the same music genre usually have similar dynamic range. Use In some compression tool programs, these pre-processing functions are the 4 knives of the encoding program. In other compression tool programs, the required pre-processing is performed before performing the compression. In addition to the downloadable audio files for sale, In addition, each song also has a low bit rate (LBR) code segment, which can be sampled using the LBR bit stream protocol. The LBR code is also an expensive task of the content processing tool program 155 The content provider ι〇ι provides the fragment as a separate PCM file, or as parameters of offset and length. As in the case of watermarking, we hope that the encoding tool program can be loaded through the interface and transmitted All :: 2.

The program generates a single intermediary data sc (s) 620 and multiple contents Sc (s) 63 for each song. For example, if the content is music, each audio floor generated during audio processing for various quality levels of the entire song is encapsulated into a separate content SC (S) 630. The audio building generated by transmitting the W sample fragment is used as the mediation data file contained in the mediation data sc (s) 62. F · Final Quality Assurance Tool Program The final quality assurance tool program allows the user to perform the final quality assurance procedure 813 described above. Once all SCs have been created for a content file, the content can be subjected to a final quality assurance check. Quality assurance can be performed at each stage of the content H3 preparation process. The content provider 101 may choose to implement quality assurance upon completion of each major step to avoid future excessive rework, or may choose to wait for all audio preparation procedures to become redundant and immediately perform quality assurance on each item. If the latter is selected, quality assurance is performed at the point when SC (s) generation is completed. The utility can open, check, and play each Sc (s) of the song. When any problems are found, even small text changes require the SC (s) to be re-established due to the internal characteristics of Sc (s). In order to avoid unnecessary reprocessing time, we strongly recommend the use of intermediate quality assurance steps to ensure the accuracy of the intermediary data. We also recommend that this specific quality assurance step be reserved to confirm the Sc (s) with the song. Cross-reference. If a problem is found, the QA staff can enter a problem description attached to the song, and place the song back into the proper processing queue.

Description of the invention (彳 58) Shao Fen is stored in multiple storage locations on the end user's computer to protect this knowledge. The anti-tampering software technology is used to protect the code in the area so that the key division method and storage location are not leaked. Preventing this key from being accessed by people, including end users, helps to prevent theft or sharing of content by other computers. For more details on how to use these keys ’, see this section of the SC (s) processor 192. Anti-tampering software technology is a technology that prevents hackers from gaining unauthorized access to a computer software application. Hackers often want to know and / or modify software in order to remove restrictions on use. In fact, there is no private program that can't be cracked. This is why the tamper-resistant software is not called "software that cannot be tampered with." But the amount of work required to crack an application protected by tamper-resistant technology will usually deter most hackers because the amount of work entrusted exceeds the possible gains. The work here will be the key to cracking part of the content 113, perhaps the key of a song on a CD. One type of anti-tampering software technology is from IBM. One product that implemented this code was an IBM ThinkPad 770 laptop. In this product, the 'tamper-resistant software system is used to protect the DVD movie player in the computer. Digital content providers, such as Hollywood film makers, are concerned about the arrival of digital movies and the ease with which perfect copies can be made. Therefore, these digital content providers insist that movies placed on DVDs must include copyright protection mechanisms. IBM's anti-tampering software makes it difficult to circumvent these copyright protection mechanisms. This is a very typical application of anti-grave modification software; this software system is used to enforce the use of certain protected types of content UI 3. IBM's anti-tampering software places several obstacles in the intruder's path. -161-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 cm) ------------ installation -------- order ------- --- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 1222057 A7 B7 V.
