Embodiment
Open description provided herein is for being provided for the system and method for the alternative content playlist of locked media content.
Fig. 1 provides the block diagram of locked media content system 10 according to embodiment of the present disclosure.System 10 can comprise content player 20.Content player 20 can comprise content reader 22 and content output 24.In FIG, content player 20 is illustrated as home entertainment system, and it has the content reader 22 of such as Blu-ray Disc player, and the content output 24 of such as television set.Alternatively, content player 20 can be individual equipment, comprises content reader and content output, such as flat content player 50.Content player 20 can be can play any suitable equipment of media content for user.This can include but not limited to, home entertainment system, DVD player, Blu-ray Disc player, television set, MP3 player, mobile phone, smart phone, tablet computing device, other mobile devices, game machine, personal computer, luggable computer etc.
Content player 20 can be connected to network 30.Network 30 can be the wide area network of such as internet, or local area network (LAN), or any network between the two.Network 30 can comprise honeycomb, WiFi, other are wireless, wired and/or cable assembly.What be connected with network 30 also has remote server 40.
Content player 20 is for playing media content.This media content can be any electronic media content, includes but not limited to, handwritten content (such as, books or article), video content, audio content, image, game etc.The disclosure relates to the locked media content of process.Locked media content can be included in any media content of demand fulfillment one or more conditions before user can access content.The Usual examples of these conditions can comprise such as that date terms is (such as, only can play content after a certain date), geographical conditions (such as, only can in specific geographical area play content), user's condition (password such as, must be inputted to identify user before content can be played) or may be used for limit to media content access any other condition.Media content can the encrypted user of making can not access content, and then meets can be decrypted once one or more predetermined conditions.
Present disclosure contemplates and do not transmit or display alternative content playlist to user when user does not meet the criterion of the locked media content of access.The present simple examples that will provide is to illustrate essential characteristics more of the present disclosure.Although those of ordinary skill in the art know that this example is discussed according to the Blu-ray Disc comprising the movie contents with the particular delivery date, still can be in spirit of the present disclosure by other execution modes used.
Movie contents transmits via Blu-ray Disc usually.Several months after film is no longer play at the cinema, the blue light version of film is given date issued usually.Usually, these Blu-ray Discs are self-demarking codes, or are in and can play form, if make you have CD, so you can play its content.But this causes bootlegger can obtain the situation of the early stage copy of Blu-ray Disc and the issue copy before blue light date issued usually.Therefore, Blu-ray Disc is preferably protected to make, when Blu-ray Disc inserts in Blu-ray player, only can play after date issued.By this way, even if there is people can obtain the copy of Blu-ray Disc before the release date, they can not play CD because only after date issued this content can be unlocked, such as, decruption key is only just issued after date issued.In this example, date issued is the time-based condition play about film media content, that is, media content can not be played until satisfy condition (date of today must be later than date issued).
In order to strengthen time-based condition, system 10 must judge that the date of today is whether after date issued.This can realize in several ways.Fig. 2 is provided for the flow chart of the illustrative methods that local zone time/date compares.In this nation method, do not require to be connected to network to carry out any step.In step 201, prepare to play media content.In the example of Blu-ray Disc, this can comprise puts into Blu-ray player by Blu-ray Disc.In step 202, media player reading media content and read the time-based condition that has been arranged on media content.In order to judge whether to meet time-based condition, in step 203, media player receives local available date/time information.This step can comprise media player and read date/time information from as the part of media player or the local clock that is attached to media player.Then whether media player more local date/time information and time-based condition meet (step 204) with Rule of judgment.If condition meets, such as, date issued is on July 1st, 2013, and current date is on July 8th, 2013, then play media content.Such as, but if condition does not meet, current date is on January 1st, 2013, then media player provides the alternative playlist being currently available for the media content bought or play to user.
The alternative playlist presented to user can comprise the local local media content stored, such as, store on the media player or on media content dish.In the example of Blu-ray Disc, alternative playlist can comprise other media contents be stored on Blu-ray Disc, such as even the available movie trailer of user, game or other specific characteristics before film date issued.Alternative playlist can also comprise be stored in user Blu-ray player or other media players on other media contents.By this way, user can access some content on Blu-ray Disc, but can not access other regions, until meet actual conditions (such as date issued).
Multiple condition can be set being stored on the media content on CD or other storage mediums.Such as, Blu-ray Disc can comprise user once buying the available trailer of Blu-ray Disc, and at blue light available specific characteristic the last week date issued of film, then can obtain film after date issued.
By realizing system and method disclosed herein, media content manufacturer know only the date expected at them (date issued) can be obtained content or they wish to media content arrange any other condition under, can in any given date sales media content.Such as, the blue light version of film can be sold at the cinema when film is still shown at the cinema, but user is in, the film that can not watch on Blu-ray player is until have passed through date issued, makes patron still be encouraged to watch film at the cinema and can obtain film simultaneously.Alternative content playlist is encouraged user's viewing or is bought other media contents available, even if " master " media content may still non-availability.Can termly to user gift thank with a gift media content to encourage user broadcasting condition meet before continue access media content.
Fig. 3 illustrates network method, can strengthen condition date issued by the method.In step 301, prepare to play media content.Media content can local (such as, Blu-ray Disc or on the computer equipment of user) can obtain, or can pass through access to netwoks (such as, download or streaming medium content).In step 302, media player communicates with remote server.Remote server can storing media content conditional information, the date issued of such as film.Remote server can receive and identify that media player attempts to play the information of media content, and judges whether about all satisfied information of the full terms of media content.In the example of Blu-ray movie with concrete date issued, remote server can receive information and current date/temporal information date issued.This information can be provided by media player, such as, and Blu-ray player, or this information can be able to obtain in remote server this locality, or can be provided by any other suitable source (such as, being connected to reliable third party's time source of network, such as atomic clock).In step 303, current date/time compares with date issued to judge that whether date issued condition is satisfied.Can be carried out this at remote server to judge.Alternatively, relevant information can be sent back to media player and makes it possible to carry out at media player place this and judge.In step 304, if condition meets, then media are played.If condition does not meet, then provide alternative playlist to user.
About time-based condition, Fig. 2 discusses pure local time-based conditions method, and Fig. 3 provides network method.Can use local with combination that is network method to strengthen time-based condition.Such as, if the clock on local player unreliable (such as, user can adjust it), then need to take measures to guarantee that user is not awarded the comparatively early access of the media content to time lock.Be not awarded in order to ensure comparatively early access, can provide the dish with acquiescence inventory to user, it comprises one or more the digital media contents that can access at any time, and the additional inventory locked based on specified conditions.Content in acquiescence inventory does not require to meet concrete time-based criterion before this content of access.But, in order to access the inventory of the locking with time-based condition, can require that their media player is connected to network and makes media player can reliably judge whether to meet time-based condition by user, such as, visit reliable time source by network.
When user takes particular step, user Ke get inventory.Such as, initial invoice can obtain immediately on the local media player of user.Once media player is connected to network by user, user Ke get adds inventory.Then, once the time-based condition reliably judging to meet on the inventory of locking, the further inventory of user Ke get.Local (such as, via dish) inventory can be provided, or can be provided by network.
In another embodiment, the initial connection of local media player to network of user reliably can provide temporal information, even if do not remain connected to network.In the present embodiment, local media player can comprise can along with passage of time the relative time clock of reliably tracking time.But, in order to can continue the tracking time from local media player passage in obtain the reliable time started, can require that media player is connected to network and makes can obtain correct time reading by network by user.Light from this, can not require to be connected to network, because local media player can use the initial time data pulled from network, then determine to have passed through how long to obtain reliable current time.
The relative time clock of local media player can also be used for specific time lapse as requested, instead of the time-based condition of absolute date issued unlocks media content and/or inventory.Such as, Blu-ray Disc can comprise three inventories, and wherein each inventory unlocks based on different time-based criterions.As discussed above, these time-based criterions can, based on absolute clock, make to arrange when material can obtain concrete date issued.Therefore, first inventory of first set with media content can be able to be obtained on the first date and the very first time, and can when the second date and second chien shih have media content second set the second inventory can obtain, and can when the 3rd date and the 3rd chien shih have media content the 3rd set the 3rd inventory can obtain.Alternatively, relative time clock can be used for the right time-based criterion of wild phase.In this example, the first inventory on dish can be made can to obtain immediately, user can be watched when insertion dish first.Media player can then use relative time clock to determine the time lapse from the initial insertion of dish.After predetermined time amount (such as, after the initial insertion of dish 10 days), the second inventory had on the dish of the second set of media content can by user Ke get.In this way, multiple time-based criterion relatively can be applied to and control when media content is by user Ke get.
Be not use definitely or relative time to determine when that media content can be unlocked, the condition of accessing to your password can strengthen condition date issued, makes media content can not be accessed until user inputs password.Password can be issued in date issued, makes user can not access locked media content until issued password in date issued.In addition, different passwords can unlock different inventories.
In fig. 2, if judge that the condition of the specific fragment unlocking media content does not meet, then alternative playlist is provided to user.As discussed in Fig. 3 and showing in FIG, except or the content of the local any alternative provided is provided, consider will be sent to the additional content of user by network to the connection of network.Such as, if user attempts to play the media content not meeting broadcasting condition, then can automatically present selection by the obtainable media content choices for watching or buying of network to user.Alternative content can be the content that user has had, or can the content of view for free, or can be used for buying the content of then watching.
The alternative content provided to user can be the default collection for the identical content of whole user, or can change based on some questions.Such as, can check that the viewing hobby of user judges the certain content that user can more pay close attention to.If user tends to watch a large amount of action movie, then can present the alternative media content in action movie style to user.The position of user can be used for determining position-specific content, such as the local advertisement attracted.Alternative playlist can also comprise the media content relevant with the locked media content not meeting access consideration.Such as, if user attempts to play New cinema, but also do not arrive date issued, then can provide the sequel of that had for the trailer of the sequel of this film and/or forward pass, the trailer of film itself, user or that user can buy film and/or forward pass, for thanking with a gift feature, original painting original text or photo stage photo etc. from film before the issue of film to user.
The flow chart that the alternative playlist that Fig. 4 is provided for customizing transmits.Step 401-403 corresponds to the step 301-303 of Fig. 3.In step 404, date/time condition does not meet.Therefore, in step 405, provide the alternative playlist of customization to user.The alternative playlist of customization can based on several variablees.Such as, the media content provided in customization alternative playlist can based on date and time (such as, current at the cinema in the preview of film), position (such as, the commercial advertisement attracted for this locality or the information attracted about this locality), playback equipment (such as, if equipment is game machine, then about the advertisement of the game on game machine), on content transmission medium, available additional content (such as, other obtained contents on Blu-ray Disc), on the media player of user, local available additional content (such as, be stored in the content on the Blu-ray player of user), the screen resolution of media player (such as, standard resolution or resolution content is provided based on media player) etc.User selects playlist else can also based on the viewing preference of user, make the media content that other media contents relevant with the media content that user had previously watched or similar are provided to user, or with user attempt to access but the identical style of the ungratified media content of broadcasting condition or otherwise relevant media content.The content of alternative playlist can local available content in reference disk, to the content (such as, hard disk drive, SD card, usb driver etc.) of media player this locality, be away from media player and via the available content of network or to media player any other content available.
Although the broadcasting condition so far discussed has concentrated on date/time condition, that is, date issued, should be understood that broadcasting condition can be any one during media content manufacturer can wish to be arranged in their content one or more conditions.Some examples can comprise geographical conditions (such as, only can in specific geographical area play content), user's condition (password such as, must be inputted to identify user before content can be played) or may be used for limit to media content access any other condition.Another example can be the condition based on user, makes to access specific inner capacities or access content to reach the qualification that special time period will make user have additional content, watches more content to encourage user.The information whether met for Rule of judgment can be by network 30 can obtain information (this information may at remote server 40), to the local available information of media player 20, the information inputted by user or to system 10 can any other information.As discussed above, whether this information to can be provided to media player 20 satisfied with Rule of judgment.Alternatively, whether this information to can be provided to remote server 40 satisfied with Rule of judgment.If carry out broadcasting at remote server 40 to judge, then remote server 40 can carry out order media renderer plays media content (if condition meet) to media player transmission of signal or order media player does not play media content, obtains display alternative content playlist (if condition does not meet).
