After the receiver is authenticated by the identity of the receiver specified by the deliverer, the receiver logs in the projected workspace and obtains the content.

Description

Content delivery method

Technical Field

The invention relates to a content delivery method.

Background

In recent years, social networking applications and common communication channels have become increasingly popular and have increased significantly, for example, existing social networks and common communication channels have included Facebook, Google +, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, LinkedIn, LINE, Whatsapps, Snapchat, and the like. Social networking applications are typically created around a user profile (user profile) and/or a collection of content.

Social networks and public communication systems typically include individuals, companies, restaurants, political entities, and event profiles (e.g., profile pages accessible to members of the social network) that are presented in a manner similar to human members, with individual users typically connected to the social network through existing network platforms via computer devices and/or smart phones. In social networking and public communications systems, it is a common practice for a sender to transfer a file or program from a network platform to a remotely located recipient.

Thus, security in the communication over the social network is becoming an increasing concern. However, in many cases, the personal user may implement a relatively strong security measure for the social network to prevent unauthorized access (access) to the social network, so that the user may often share the content when visiting and accessing the social network, and the current security measure is obviously not sound due to the continuous emergence of new threats to the security of the content of the social network.

Therefore, how to ensure the security of the user data in the aspect of sharing data and information has become a major technical challenge for cloud storage and other information services. The common methods currently applied to network transmission are encryption and decryption; for example, a message or information is encrypted using an encryption algorithm and converted into an unreadable ciphertext (unreadable ciphertext), and only an authorized party can decode the unreadable ciphertext using a decryption algorithm. However, the protection scheme for encryption and decryption using an encryption algorithm and a decryption algorithm has the following drawbacks. First, encryption does not completely deter hackers, only reducing the likelihood of hackers reading out the encrypted data. Second, the host owner can directly steal and hack the encrypted message or information without permission. Third, the protection scheme using encryption and decryption algorithms requires more hardware resources and consumes more time.

In addition, the service provider (such as Google, Dropbox and Amazon) providing the content to the receiver can access and view the information uploaded to the cloud storage without limitation, that is, the content to be delivered is exposed to the service provider, so that the service provider can analyze the users interested in the content without notifying the users, which may cause a huge impact on the privacy of the users.

Further, U.S. patent No. US8271649 entitled "Access rights used for resource discovery in peer-to-peer networks" discloses resource discovery for securing peer-to-peer networks, which involves creating resource discovery records related to user device computing resources and proceeding via user devices of peers of the peer-to-peer network. However, the above methods involve encryption/decryption, error detection and correction, bitstream conversion, filtering, etc., and instead cause more load on software operations and hardware resources.

The present invention relates to a content delivery method, which has the following advantages.

It is an object of the present invention to avoid encryption and decryption and to prevent the transmitted message or information from being stolen or hacked from the host.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the time required for uploading and downloading media data.

It is yet another object of the present invention to construct a personal workspace of a user to protect private information (e.g., a machine located in a secure location), wherein the personal workspace is not controlled by the host.

In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of content delivery. The content delivery method includes the following steps. First, a projectable space entity for constructing a workspace is provided to a network connection device to allow a sender to deliver a content to a receiver. Then, the deliverer configures an information input device and an authentication tool for providing the content to the workspace in a self-selected manner in the projectable space entity, and specifies the identity of the recipient in the authentication tool. Then, the sender transmits a path connection information (URI) corresponding to the projectable spatial entity to the receiver through a public communication channel. And when the receiver opens the path connection information, projecting the working space to the receiver. After the receiver is authenticated by the identity of the receiver specified by the deliverer, the receiver logs in the projected workspace and obtains the content.

In one embodiment, the network connection device is an open machine or a non-open machine that allows the delivery person to optionally install the projectable spatial entity.

In one embodiment, the content is a message, a document, a program, a number, digital information, a medium, an electronic book, or any combination thereof.

In one embodiment, the recipient's identity includes a Facebook ID, a Line ID, an email account number, a fingerprint, or any other identification item recognizable by the authentication tool.

In one embodiment, the projectable spatial entity is generated by a unified script that is an intermediate language for implementing the workspace.

In one embodiment, the step of projecting the workspace further comprises the steps of: a projection means is used for interpreting the projectable space entity to establish a working environment, so that the projected working space is carried in the working environment.

On the other hand, the invention also provides a content delivery method. The content delivery method includes the following steps. First, a projectable space entity for constructing a workspace is provided to a network connection device to allow a sender to deliver a content to a receiver. Then, the transmitter configures a unified information unit and an authentication tool for accessing the content in the projectable space entity in a self-selected manner, and specifies the identity of the receiver in the authentication tool. Then, the sender transmits a path connection information (URI) corresponding to the projectable space entity to the receiver through a common communication channel. When the receiver opens the link, the workspace is projected to the receiver. After the identity of the receiver specified by the sender is authenticated, the receiver is allowed to log in the projected workspace and obtain the content through the unified information unit.

In one embodiment, the projectable space entity has a built-in information input device for providing the unified information unit to the projected workspace in a selectable manner.

In yet another aspect, a computer program product for delivering content is also provided. The computer program product includes a program code for performing the following steps when the computer program product is executed by a computer. First, a projectable space entity for constructing a workspace is provided to a network connection device to allow a sender to deliver content to a recipient. The transferor then configures an information input unit and an authentication tool for providing the content to the workspace in a self-selected manner in the projectable space entity, and specifies the identity of the recipient in the authentication tool. Then, the sender transmits a path connection information (URI) corresponding to the projectable space entity to the receiver through a common communication channel. And when the receiver opens the path connection information, projecting the working space to the receiver. After the receiver is authenticated by the identity of the receiver specified by the deliverer, the receiver logs in the projected workspace and obtains the content.

Detailed Description

The invention will be more fully understood from the following description, including the following glossary of terms and conclusive examples. For the sake of brevity, publications, including patent disclosures, cited in this specification are incorporated herein by reference.

The following examples of the invention are non-limiting and merely represent various aspects and features of the invention. In the most limiting technical sense, an "information source" as described herein refers to a sequence of symbols that can be interpreted as useful messages, and that are used to organize and tag data; wherein, the information source can include: websites (e.g., internet services), intranets, network communities, software, electronic books, databases, and other media of information (e.g., non-transitory computer-usable storage media, mobile device storage media). Also, the "raw information" described herein may include files, web pages, databases, policies, rules, or any data accessible to the associated machine and server, while the "raw tools" described herein may include utilities, interface toolsets, intelligent agent tools, applications, service tools, or any executable elements accessible to the associated machine and server. However, the source, source and tool are not limited to the above.

In addition, the "original information" and the "original tool" are implementation aspects of the "original element" described herein, and in implementing the present invention, a plurality of "original elements" from the same or different "information sources" can be respectively modeled as a plurality of "unified elements" through a unified approach, so that the plurality of "unified elements" in the same operating environment can be compatible with each other to cooperatively perform a specific task; the "unification tool" and the "unification information unit" are implementation modes of the "unification element". Also, an "element transformer (matchizer)" described herein is a component, device, or program code to unify "original elements".

In one embodiment, the unification method may include the following steps: re-transforming at least one raw information obtained from at least one of the plurality of information sources according to a unified data structure, thereby modeling the at least one raw information as a unified information unit, and/or re-transforming at least one raw tool obtained from at least one of the plurality of information sources according to another unified data structure, thereby modeling the at least one raw tool as a unified tool; wherein the unified data structure and the another unified data structure may be the same or different, and the above-mentioned unification method may be accomplished by an element transformer.

Please refer to fig. 1, which is a conceptual diagram of an embodiment of a unification method. Fig. 1 illustrates that the element transformer 992 reforms an attribute and an associated nexus (link) of the primary element 991 according to the unified data structure 993 to model the primary element 991 as a unified element 994, such that the basic attributes of the unified element 994 include the type (type) of the primary element 991 and the nexus (link) indicating where the primary element 994 is located.

In the embodiment, the primitive element 991 at least includes a primitive message (not shown) or a primitive tool (not shown), but not limited thereto. Secondly, in the above unification method, when the attribute obtainable from the original information corresponds to the attribute to be unified in the unified information unit, the unified information unit can be directly generated through the element converter 992; when the attribute that can be obtained from the original information and the attribute that is to be unified in the unified information unit cannot correspond to each other, the original information needs to be redefined by logically reforming the attribute and the related link of the original information, so that the original information is converted into new original information having the attribute corresponding to the attribute that is to be unified in the unified information unit, thereby indirectly generating the unified information unit.

Also, when the original tool is compatible with the working environment of the workspace (workspace), the unified tool can be directly generated via the element transformer 992; when the original tool is not compatible with the working environment of the working space, the original tool needs to be driven through a converter (adapter) and/or a Software Development Kit (SDK) of the original tool to indirectly generate the unified tool; wherein, the converter is used to provide interface implementation (interface implementation) compatible with working space.

The "detailed implementation OF the normalization METHOD", "detailed obtaining manner OF the normalization element", AND "detailed operation manner OF the element converter" described in this embodiment can refer to the U.S. patent application with application number 14/324,069 AND name "a metal OF unity INFORMATION AND TOOL OF touch FROM a program OF INFORMATION SOURCES" AND the chinese patent application with application number 201410768564.X AND name "a METHOD for normalizing INFORMATION AND TOOLs FROM multiple INFORMATION SOURCES AND a computer program product AND device applying the METHOD", AND thus will not be described again here.

It is to be noted that the above-mentioned unification method is only one embodiment of the unification method adopted in the present invention. The method for unifying multiple original elements from different information sources is not limited to the above, and those skilled in the art can make any equivalent design changes according to the actual application requirements.

Two further unification methods different from the above description are exemplified below. The first unification method is an information unification method applied to Garmin satellite navigation. The POI (Point of interest) function of Garmin satellite navigation is to perform a unification procedure on the input original landmark information (original information) through the information unification method to obtain corresponding unified landmark information (unified information unit); the second method is a tool unification method applied to an Android system, which is an open source code mobile device operating system based on Linux, but most of the applications (source tools) in the Android system are written in Java, so that all the applications (source tools) written in Java can be modeled into unified applications (unified tools) compatible with the Android system by the tool unification method, and further can be executed in the Android system.

The "workspace" refers to a workspace for at least one element converter, at least one tool and/or at least one information to interact with to perform a specific task, and at least one information and/or at least one tool can be input into the workspace through at least one element converter, but the manner of inputting information and/or tools into the workspace is not limited thereto; next, information input devices (information input devices) described below, such as the

information input devices

9881, 9882, and 9883 in fig. 2, the Dropbox input device 9761' in fig. 6, and the information 304 in fig. 12, are all embodiments of the element transformer. Furthermore, the unified script is an intermediate language that can be used to implement the workspace, and the unified script can enable at least one element converter, at least one message and/or at least one tool to be provided (e.g., built-in or plug-in) to the workspace.

In one embodiment, the at least one message is at least one unified message unit formed by unifying at least one original message obtained from at least one message source, and the at least one tool is at least one unified tool formed by unifying at least one original tool obtained from at least one message source; the user can add (such as built-in or plug-in) the needed unified information unit and/or unified tool from the corresponding information source to the personal workspace according to different tasks, so the "workspace" can be a user-oriented "personal workspace".

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept of using unified scripts as an intermediate language for implementing a personal workspace, and fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a preferred configuration of the personal workspace. Fig. 2 and 3 illustrate that the user combines the unified information unit 985 ' corresponding to the original information 985 in the Dropbox982, the first unified tool 986 ' corresponding to the compatible original tool 986 in the cloud hard disk 983, and the second unified tool 987 ' corresponding to the incompatible original tool 987 in the server 984 into the personal workspace 981 according to the task requirements; specifically, the user may first edit a unified script 980 as an intermediate language for implementing the personal workspace 981, and set the information input device 9881 of the Dropbox982, the information input device 9882 of the cloud hard disk 983, and the information input device 9883 of the server 984 by the unified script 980; the information input device 9881 can unify the original information 985 in the Dropbox982 into a unified information unit 985' and input the unified information unit to the personal workspace 981.

Fig. 2 and 3 also illustrate that the original tool stored in the cloud hard disk 983 is a compatible original tool 986, i.e., the compatible original tool 986 is compatible with the component architecture for the unified tool in the personal workspace 981, and the first unified tool 986' corresponding to the compatible original tool 986 can be provided directly to the personal workspace 981 through the information input device 9882 of the unified script 980.

Fig. 2 and 3 also illustrate that the original tool stored in the server 984 is an incompatible original tool 987, i.e., the incompatible original tool 987 is incompatible with the component architecture for the unified tool in the personal workspace 981, and a second unified tool 987' corresponding to the incompatible original tool 987 is provided to the personal workspace 981 through the compatible translator 989 and the information input device 9883 of the unified script 980.

Fig. 3 also illustrates that the user configures (e.g., groups or places) the unified information element 985 ', the first unifying tool 986 ', and the second unifying tool 987 ' in a specific area of the personal workspace 981 according to the actual application requirement; finally, the user can access or control the corresponding unified information unit by using the unified tool to execute the required task according to the operation relationship between the unified tool and the unified information unit (such as the click action or the drag action between the unified tool and the unified information unit).

The "specific implementation of the UNIFIED script as the intermediate language FOR realizing the PERSONAL WORKSPACE" and the "specific implementation of the user combining the required UNIFIED INFORMATION unit and/or the required UNIFIED tool from the corresponding INFORMATION into the PERSONAL WORKSPACE to execute the TASK according to the actual application requirements" IN the present embodiment can refer to the us patent application with application number 14/325,466 and named "METHOD FOR combining UNIFIED elements IN the PERSONAL WORKSPACE and the chinese patent application with application number 201410796528.4 and named" computer program product and system applying the METHOD ", and thus will not be described again here.

It should be noted that the personal workspace is only one embodiment of the workspace, and the workspace applicable to the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, a unified script as an intermediate language for implementing a workspace can be edited in advance to make the workspace become a workspace with a preset element converter, preset information and/or preset tools built therein, and such a workspace is not limited to a single user operation, and can be provided for multiple users to perform operations simultaneously or separately according to actual application requirements.

Furthermore, the workspace described herein may be projected to any electronic device with computing capability, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc. through a method of projecting a workspace, but not limited to the above, so that any user can operate the "projected workspace" on any electronic device with computing capability.

In one embodiment, a method of projecting a workspace comprises the following steps. First, a projectable space entity generated by the unified script is obtained through a path connection information (URI). As previously described, a unified script is defined to configure at least one of the element transformer, the information, and the tool to build a workspace, and the projectable space entity is used to build a projected workspace corresponding to the workspace to provide an interface for operating at least one of the element transformer, the information, and the tool to perform a task; then, a projection means is used to interpret the projectable space entity and establish an operating environment for at least one of an element converter, information and a tool to be configured in the projectable space entity so as to further execute the projected workspace, thereby providing at least one user to interact with the projected workspace.

The projection means can be obtained from the remote data station, the projectable space entity or the preloaded application, and loaded into an engine (engine) for providing a compatible environment to execute the projection means, and the engine can include, but is not limited to, Javascript engine, windows application or Linux application; furthermore, the unified script can be declared by a Document Type Definition (DTD), an extensible markup language schema (XML schema), a structured language (structured language) or a structured protocol (structured protocol), but not limited thereto; the projectable space entity may be an object (object), an extensible markup language (XML) file, or an entity (instance) generated by a structured language or a structured protocol, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 5A to fig. 5B and fig. 6, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an initial state of the method for projecting the workspace, fig. 5A and fig. 5B are schematic diagrams illustrating an operation concept of the method for projecting the workspace shown in fig. 4, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a relative relationship between the projectable space entity shown in fig. 4 and the projected workspace shown in fig. 5B.

In the initial state shown in fig. 4, there are a first electronic device 971 and a second electronic device 972 that can be connected to each other (e.g., connected via a network), the first electronic device 971 stores a projectable space entity 973, and the second electronic device 972 has a projection means 974 built therein.

In the embodiment, the unified script 9731 is declared by a Document Type Definition (DTD) and is defined to configure at least one information input device (which is an implementation of an element transformer) and/or at least one unified information element and/or at least one unified tool to construct a workspace, and the projectable space entity 973 is an extensible markup language (XML) generated entity, which is used to create a projected workspace 976 corresponding to the workspace and is allowed to be added or removed from the information input device and/or the unified information element and/or unified tool, as shown in fig. 6.

The projection means 974 of the second electronic device 972 establishes an operating environment 975 for the projected workspace 976 to operate on the second electronic device 972, and provides a micro kernel 977 (see fig. 6) for the operating environment 975 to load at least one information input device and/or at least one unified information unit and/or at least one unified tool to be added to the projected workspace 976. When the second electronic device 972 obtains the projectable space entity 973 in the first electronic device 971 through a path connection message, the projection means 974 in the second electronic device 972 starts to interpret the projectable space entity 973 (as shown in fig. 5A). When the projectable space entity 973 is interpreted by the projection means 974, the projected workspace 976 is built on the job environment 975 according to the content interpreted by the projectable space entity 973 (as shown in fig. 5B). Thus, a user at the end of the second electronic device 972 can interact with the projected workspace 976 through the second electronic device 972 to perform related tasks.

The interrelationship of the unified script 9731, the projectable space entity 973, and the projected workspace 976 is further described below in the context of use shown in fig. 6. The use scenario illustrated in FIG. 6 is: a workspace is created that can be projected and read jpg picture files and gif picture files stored in a designated network space for a user to view, and in this use scenario, the unified script 9731 is declared as a Document Type Definition (DTD), and the projectable space entity 973 is generated in extensible markup language (XML).

Also, an information input device and a unification tool are added to the projectable space entity 973, and the information input device is used to input at least one unified information unit corresponding to the original information into the projected workspace 976. In the present use scenario, the information input device is a Dropbox input device, i.e. shown in the dashed box 9761 in fig. 6, and the original information includes a jpg picture file 9791, a jpg picture file 9792 and a gif picture file 9793 in a Dropbox 979 (information source), the unified information unit includes a unified jpg picture file 9791 ', a unified jpg picture file 9792 ' and a unified gif picture file 9793 ' described later, and the unified tool is a picture reader, i.e. shown in the dashed box 9762 in fig. 6, for reading the picture file input into the projected workspace 976.

As described above, the projected workspace 976 is established after the projectable space entity 973 is interpreted by the projection means 974 in the second electronic device 972. In the embodiment, a Dropbox input device 9761 '(corresponding to the dashed box 9761) and a picture reader 9762' (corresponding to the dashed box 9762) are disposed on the projected workspace 976, and the Dropbox input device 9761 'further unifies and inputs the jpg picture file 9791, the jpg picture file 9792 and the gif picture file 9793 in the Dropbox 979 information source into the projected workspace 976, so that the unified jpg picture file 9791', the unified jpg picture file 9792 'and the unified gif picture file 9793' corresponding to the jpg picture file 9791, the jpg picture file 9792 and the gif picture file 9793, respectively, are presented on the projected workspace 976. Then, when the user of the second electronic device 972 operates any one of the unified picture files 9791 ', 9792' and 9793 'through a specific operation manner (e.g., clicks on any one of the unified picture files 9791', 9792 'and 9793', or drags any one of the unified picture files 9791 ', 9792' and 9793 'to the picture reader 9762'), the picture reader 9762 'reads the content of the corresponding one of the unified picture files 9791', 9792 'and 9793' to be displayed for the user to view. In addition, the Dropbox input 9761 'and the picture viewer 9762' are loaded by the micro core 977.

Specifically, the path link information of the projectable space entity 973 may be Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) path link information or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) path link information, and if the first electronic device 971 and the second electronic device 972 are a common device, the path link information of the projectable space entity 973 may also be local file (localfile) path link information, but the type of the path link information is not limited thereto.

THE specific obtaining manner OF THE METHOD for PROJECTING THE working space described in this embodiment can refer to THE united states patent application with application number 14/577,772 and entitled "METHOD OF PROJECTING a working space AND SYSTEM USING THE SAME" and THE chinese patent application with application number 201410814138.5 and entitled "METHOD for PROJECTING THE working space and system USING THE METHOD for PROJECTING THE working space", and therefore will not be described herein again.

It should be noted that the method for projecting the workspace is only one projection method for projecting the workspace to any electronic device with computing capability, but the projection method for projecting the workspace to any electronic device with computing capability is not limited to the above, and those skilled in the art can make any equivalent design changes according to the actual application requirements.

Moreover, since any workspace can be projected onto any electronic device with computing capability, different users operating different electronic devices respectively can see the content in the same workspace through the method of projecting the workspace, so the workspace can also be a platform for obtaining the content, so that one user can provide the content to another user through the workspace, which can be regarded as a behavior of delivering the content. The content delivery method is described in further detail below.

The invention provides a content delivery method. The content delivery method of the present invention may be implemented in various forms and is not limited to the examples mentioned below. The following examples are merely representative of various aspects and features of the present invention.

Please refer to fig. 7, which is a flowchart illustrating a content delivery method over a network according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The content delivery method includes the following steps. In step (a), a projectable space entity for constructing a workspace is provided to a network connection device to allow a sender to deliver a content to a recipient (S110). In step (b), the delivery person optionally configures an information input device and an authentication tool for providing the content to the workspace in the projectable space entity, and specifies the identity of the recipient in the authentication tool (S120). In step (c), the sender transmits a path connection information (URI) corresponding to the projectable spatial entity to the receiver via a common communication channel (S130). In step (d), the workspace is projected to the recipient when the recipient opens the path connection information (S140). In step (e), after the recipient is authenticated by the recipient' S identity specified by the transferor, the recipient logs into the projected workspace and obtains the content (S150).

In one embodiment, the network connection device is an open machine or a non-open machine that allows the transferor to optionally install the projectable space entity. An example of the network connection device includes a network server, but is not limited thereto.

Please refer to fig. 8, which is a conceptual diagram illustrating an overall mechanism for a sender to deliver content to a receiver by applying the content delivery method shown in fig. 7 according to a preferred embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, a web server 200 provides a projection means 201 accessible with a link http:// xx.x.x.x/projector and a projectable space entity 202 accessible with a route id 0138 ACD.

In the preferred embodiment, the path connection information (URI) corresponding to the projectable space entity is "http:// x.x.x/projector #! /0138ACD ". The sender 210 may send link information corresponding to the projectable spatial entity 202 to the receiver 220 via a common communication channel 230, such as Line, Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook messenger, and/or any channel capable of sending link information, such that content desired to be delivered by the sender 210, such as, but not limited to, messages, files, programs, numbers, digital information, intermediaries, e-books, or any combination thereof, may be delivered to the receiver 220.

Please refer to fig. 9, which is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of projecting the workspace to the recipient in step S140 of the content delivery method shown in fig. 7. When the receiver 220 opens the path link information corresponding to the projectable space entity 202 through the browser 240(browser), the browser loads the projection means 201 from the web server 200 having a link of http:// xx.x.x.x/projector, so that the projection means 201 establishes the operating environment 2011 for the projected workspace 241 to operate on the browser 240. In addition, the projection means 201 provides the micro-kernel 2012 (see fig. 10) in the working environment 241 for loading at least one unified element compiled into the projectable spatial entity 202. For example, the at least one normalization element includes an authentication tool (see fig. 10) and an information input device (see fig. 10). Next, the projection means 201 starts interpreting the projectable spatial entity 202. After the projectable space entity 202 is interpreted by the projection means 201, the projected workspace 241 is established on the operating environment 2011 according to the content interpreted by the projection means 201.

Please refer to fig. 10, which is a diagram illustrating a relative relationship between a projectable space entity and a projected workspace in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The deliverer 210 optionally configures an information input device 204 and an authentication tool 203 (also belonging to an implementation aspect of the unification tool) to the projectable space entity 202 according to the actual application requirement.

Content 251 from a network attached storage 250(NAS) is provided to the projected workspace 241 through the information input device 204, and the content 251 includes content intended to be delivered by the delivery person 210 to the recipient 220, including messages, files, programs, numbers, digital information, media, and/or e-books, for example. On the other hand, the information input device 204 is used to input a unified information unit 251' that can be accessed by the projected workspace 241. In the present embodiment, the unified information unit 251' is formed by unifying the contents 251 obtained from the network attached storage device 250 through the information input device 204. The authentication tool 203 is used to allow the transferor 210 to specify the identity of the authentication recipient 220. For example, the identity of the recipient 220 may include a password, biometric feature, graphical authentication, or proof, and when the recipient 220 is authenticated by the recipient's identity specified by the delivery person 210, the recipient 220 may log into the projected workspace 241 and access the content 251 delivered by the delivery person 210 within the projected workspace 241.

In the preferred embodiment, the projectable space entity 202 is an entity instantiated by extensible markup language (XML), as shown in FIG. 10. Fig. 10 also illustrates the correspondence between the partially compiled content of the projectable space entity 202 and the authentication tool 203 and the information input device 204 in the projected workspace 241, as shown by two corresponding ends of any dashed line in fig. 10.

The following illustrates a partially compiled content of the projectable spatial entity 202:

in the partially compiled content of the projectable spatial entity 202, note 1 indicates a link where the information input device 204 is located. Note 2 represents a link where the content 251 is located. Note x 3 represents the identity of the recipient specified by the transferor 210. Note 4 denotes the name of the recipient specified by the transferor 210. Note 5 that the authentication tool can be started immediately in an automatic mode when the workspace is projected.

As described above, when the sender 210 wants to send a content 251 to the receiver 220, the information input device 204 and the authentication tool 203 can be configured in the projectable space entity 202 in an optional manner. In addition, the route link information of the projectable space entity 202 is transmitted to the receiver 220.

Please refer to fig. 11, which is a flowchart illustrating a content delivery method over a network according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The content delivery method includes the following steps. In step (a), a projectable space entity for constructing a workspace is provided to a network connection device to allow a sender to deliver a content to a receiver (S210). In step (b), the delivery person optionally configures a unified information unit and an authentication tool for accessing the content in the projectable space entity, and specifies the identity of the recipient in the authentication tool (S220). In step (c), the sender transmits a path connection message corresponding to the projectable spatial entity to the receiver via a common communication channel (S230). In step (d), the workspace is projected to the recipient when the recipient opens the path connection information (S240). In step (e), after the recipient is authenticated by the recipient' S identity specified by the transferor, the recipient logs in the projected workspace and obtains the content through the unified information element (S250).

The content delivery method shown in fig. 11 is similar to the content delivery method shown in fig. 7 except for the following flow, and differences between the method shown in fig. 11 and the method shown in fig. 7 will be described below with reference to fig. 12. Please refer to fig. 12, which is a conceptual diagram of a projected workspace applying the method shown in fig. 11. In the method shown in fig. 11, the sender 210 configures the authentication tool 303 and the unified information unit 351' for accessing the content to be sent to the receiver 220 in the projectable space entity in a self-selected manner, so that when the receiver 220 opens the path linking information corresponding to the projectable space entity, the projected workspace 341 shown in fig. 12 can be seen.

Preferably, but not limited thereto, the projectable space entity configured with the authentication tool 303 and the unified information unit 351' has a built-in information input unit 304. Through the information input device 304, the unified information unit 351' is provided to the projected workspace 341, so that the receiver 220 can obtain the content 351 that the transmitter 210 wants to transmit.

According to the above description, when the sender 210 intends to deliver the content 351 to the receiver 220, the authentication tool 303 and the unified information unit 351' for accessing the content 351 intended to be delivered to the receiver 220 can be configured in a self-selecting manner in the projectable space entity. In addition, route link information corresponding to the projectable spatial entity is sent to the receiver 220. Thus, the recipient 220 may obtain the content 351 from the unified information unit 351' in the projected workspace 341.

Please refer to fig. 13, which is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of the authentication tool in the automatic mode when the workspace is projected. When the workspace is projected, the

authentication tool

203 or 303 is activated in an automatic mode to ask the recipient 220 to enter an Identification (ID) and password.

For example, if the receiver 220 inputs an Identification (ID) "a 5782" and a password "12345" for authentication, which represent that the identification and password input by the receiver 220 for authentication conform to the identity of the receiver specified by the transmitter 210, the receiver 220 can be authenticated by the identity of the receiver specified by the transmitter 210 and thus can be allowed to enter (log in) the projected

workspaces

241, 341. Otherwise, if the receiver 220 is not authenticated, it cannot retrieve the

content

251, 351 delivered by the deliverer 210.

It is noted that the manner of identity authentication is not limited. For example, the way of identity authentication may be ID of Facebook (Facebook), ID of Line, email account, fingerprint, or any other suitable identification item such as dialogbox.

Please refer to fig. 14, which is a block diagram illustrating a computer program product applying the content delivery method of fig. 7. The computer program product 7 (e.g. a software package) is used for content delivery and includes a program code 71, and the program code 71 executes the steps of the method shown in fig. 7 when a computer 6 executes the computer program product 7, and the specific implementation of the steps is the same as the foregoing description, and will not be described again.

Please refer to fig. 15, which is a block diagram illustrating a computer program product applying the content delivery method of fig. 11. The computer program product 8 (e.g. software package) is used for content delivery and includes a program code 81, and the program code 81 executes the steps of the method shown in fig. 11 when a computer 6 executes the computer program product 8, and the specific implementation of the steps is the same as the foregoing description, and will not be described again.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
