Description

Method and apparatus for sharing digital copyright protection content
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication multimedia messages, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for sharing digital copyright protection content.
Background
Mms (multimedia Messaging service) is capable of providing point-to-point, point-to-application, and application-to-point multimedia message storage and forwarding services that are extremely rich in content. The message may be non-real-time content composed of plain text, pictures, video, audio, and other media formats.
Various applications can be developed using MMS, for example, in the OMA MMS version 1.3 of the open mobile alliance OMA (open mobile alliance), a post card service PostCard application of MMS is defined, which is: user a (with MMS client) creates an MMS message (possibly using an MMS template) containing pictures and text, while filling in the postal address and zip code of user B. Then sent to a PostCard server which prints out the PostCard and then hands it to a post office which sends it to user B by means of traditional postal mail.
When the user applies the PostCard service, the pictures, texts and the like sent by the user by using MMS may be from digital media protected by digital rights drm (digital Right management). When a user forwards digital media of interest, such as music, movies, etc., to other users, the content that he forwards may also originate from DRM-protected digital media.
DRM is a technology that has been developed to protect digital media, such as games, ring tones, images, audio, video, etc., from illegal copying and illegal use. The DRM system specified in OMA DRM2.0 comprises a terminal DRM Agent, a content center ci (content issue), and an authorization center ri (rights issue). As shown in fig. 1, there is a DRM Agent in the user equipment, and the process of using DRM-protected digital media by the user is:
browsing a CI website by a user to acquire interested media Content, wherein the Content is in a DRM Content format DCF (DRM Content Format);
the user equipment connects RI to obtain rights object RO (right object) of DCF, and DRM Agent uses DCF according to the rule in RO. If there is no RO or the rights usage rule specified in the RO has expired, the user will not be able to use the DCF any more.
Therefore, when a user uses the PostCard service, if the user wants to print copyrighted picture content on a PostCard, the PostCard Server cannot be realized because it does not have an RO. Also, the user may have such a problem when using similar MMS services.

the user A browses a CI website to obtain an interested DCF;
the user equipment A connects with RI to obtain the rights object RO of DCF, the RO may contain many kinds of rights usage rules, such as the number of times or time that the DCF can be browsed, the time that the DCF can reside locally, the number of times that it can be printed, etc.;
user A sends MMS containing DCF to user B;
and if the user A distributes the copyright use right part to the user B, the RI generates a new RO aiming at the residual copyright use right of the user A and sends the new RO to the user equipment A, and informs the user equipment A that the original RO is invalid.
After receiving MMS sent by user A, user equipment B analyzes URL of RI from it, connects to RI to obtain RO distributed by user A.
As shown in fig. 4, the third embodiment of the present invention is:
the domain sharing approach using OMA DRM2.0 enables user a to have user B share media content of interest to him. The process is as follows:
user A or user B connects RI to register and join some domain;
user B or user A connects RI to register and join the same domain;
the user A browses a CI website to obtain an interested DCF;
user equipment A connects RI to obtain domain RO of DCF;
user a sends an MMS to user B, which contains the DCF content and the domain RO.
After receiving MMS, the user equipment analyzes DCF and domain RO.
The fourth embodiment of the present invention is:
the method of the present invention may be used in combination with the PostCard application of OMA MMS 1.3, in which case the server of the PostCard needs to be added with a DRM Agent and the PostCard server is considered as user B in the method of the present invention. When used in conjunction with a PostCard application, the MMS sent by subscriber a containing the DCF also contains the content of the PostCard.
For example, if the content of the DCF is a picture, the PostCard server may obtain the RO and the DCF by any one of the three embodiments, and solve the picture in the DCF. The PostCard is then printed out and mailed in the traditional postal manner, with the pictures and other parts of the MMS arranged regularly in the MMS-expressed part (e.g., SMIL), such as text messages, etc.
In order to protect digital rights, in this embodiment, the usage rule for rights in RO purchased by user a for the PostCard server may be defined as: one or more prints are available.
When the third embodiment is used in conjunction with a PostCard application, a domain may be registered and added by the PostCard server for more convenient operation, and user a or another user may be added to the domain registered by the PostCard server when using the PostCard service.
