The relationship between the various features of the CWM service platform implementation described herein is shown in Figure 7A. As shown, the music library 790 can be assigned to a region (e.g., a geographic location or other spatial extent. In other embodiments, there can be more than one music library in each region. In other real 14 200935859 embodiments, A music library is assigned to more than one area. Standing 9 coins thick 790

Accessible by CWM users and non-CWM or paid users. The music library 790 can be connected to any suitable number of CWM devices and its pair of CWM programs 791. Depending on the type of device and the scope of the operator's contract: 5 regional and / or last date to assign CWM PIN number 792, the idea of 'can provide the special PIN number as a promotion or for other appropriate purposes . For example, the PIN number can be used as a promotional activity for a predetermined communication device, wherein the PIN number can be applied to a predetermined subscription, a region, a communication service provider, and/or a service provider contract constraint 10, and Have a predetermined date for the date. Any suitable number of piN coupons 793 can be associated with the PIN number to provide, for example, limited use of the pin numbers, as described below. It is to be noted that although the PIN numbers are provided for promotional purposes, such promotional activities may be generated for various types of communication devices, countries, operators, and the like. In an embodiment, the providers of the 15 PIN numbers can receive a promotional request. The CWM program 791 can be modified for each phone, individual operator, and/or country. A corresponding CWM PIN promotion 792 can be generated and associated with each CWM program 791. In an embodiment in which a PIN promotion 792 can be applied to a music library or country and a user attempts to access the CWM account in an area where the device is not assigned 20 (eg, the CWM device group is Configured for use in Zone A but the CWM device is located in Zone B, the system 100 can be configured to present a message to the user informing the user that an incorrect music library or region is being accessed. And guide the user to the correct music library. 15 200935859 Referring also to Figure 7, in one embodiment, the user logs into a CWM account or adds a CWM package to an existing account, as described above (Fig. 7, block 700). The user's check-in or login information will be verified and stored in any suitable repository, such as the 5 - database associated with music library 790 (Fig. 7, block 705). In the check-in/log-in procedure, the user's PIN number will be verified (Figure 7, block 710) to determine which CWM features to include in the user's account. For example, the 10 15 20 PIN number may define such features, including but not limited to: use or access area and access type. For example, the CWM access can be divided into one or more regions corresponding to geographic locations such that a pIN number can provide CWM access for a region without providing access to other regions. In another example, the PIN number may allow access to more than one region. The piN number may also define whether the CWM account is allowed (;_unlimited media download during the subscription period, or alternatively the number of downloads or capped downloads of the boundary a. In which the PIN provides the predetermined number of downloads - the actual shot In the [side. during the purchase period, the towel may have a predetermined number of downloads every day, every week, or every month. In other embodiments, the CWM period may be divided into any appropriate number of sub-periods α. In the other embodiments, the CWM ordering system may be based on the number of times the download has been made, so the order is terminated once the scheduled download money is made.

When the PI Ν number is subjected to the procedural check, the device 101 presents the user with any appropriate information about the 3 CWM account, such as the PIN number (Fig., block 715). For example, the step device can present the area accessible to the CWM f, the account access class, the number of downloads that can be served, any promotional offer 16 200935859 can generate the user's account in any suitable manner (Figure 7 Block 720) is generated, for example, by a network entity 192 that is coupled to the device IQ!. The network entity can be any suitable entity or device, such as a media library server that connects to the primary device 101. It is to be noted that, in one example, the CWM features described herein are added to an already existing account, while in other instances, the features are added to the newly generated account. It is to be noted that the act of adding such CWM features to an existing account does not affect any book balances that exist on the already existing account (eg, the user can download objects based on the CWM characteristics, and Will not exhaust the book balance of the use of 10). During the account generation process, the CWM software installed in the peripheral device 191 and/or the CWM software in the device 1.1 will be associated with the user's CWM account to provide appropriate security for unauthorized downloads, as follows Said. The PIN number can also be marked as changed (Figure 7, box 725), so the PIN number will not be used again to open another CWM enabled account or to add CWM to another existing account. Once the CWM account is created or the cwm feature is added to an existing pre-existing account, the user may utilize any suitable means to download and download music, including but not limited to U.S. Patent Application U.S. Patent No. U. The manner of menu 310 (Fig. 7, block 730). 2〇 System groups can be configured to track cWM usage status for any appropriate method, including but not limited to: reporting purposes and monitoring downloads. In one example, when a media object is selected for download (Fig. 7, block 735), the system 100 checks to see if the user has a cWM (block 7 of FIG. 7). If the user does not have the option of 2009 2009859, the user is allowed to purchase and download media items, such as the paid downloading principle in any suitable manner. If the user installs a CWM program on his device (e.g., device 101 or peripheral device 191), the system (10) checks to see if there is a download limit of 5 for the CWM subscription (Fig. 7, block 745). . If there is a - item ceiling, System 1 will verify that the ceiling has been exceeded. If this limit is exceeded, the user cannot download the media object under the contract of the CWM order. Here, the user will be notified that the download has reached the maximum limit and the user is given the option to purchase the media item, such as using a pre-existing account balance, credit card or other appropriate payment method. If the maximum limit is not reached, the user is allowed to download the media object. In another example, the system 1GG group can be configured to verify the device class $ (block 7 750) in conjunction with the download action. For example, if the device is not a CW|V] or does not include the CWM software/program, the user is not allowed to order a free lower body object according to the CWM. Here, the user may be prompted that the device is not allowed or enabled to perform CWM downloading. In an example, the user will be given the media file to be added to any of the CWM enabled devices to be downloaded later. An option for a proper dream list. In another example, the user will be given an option to purchase the (2) media broadcast in any suitable manner. It is to be noted that the CWM enabling devices 101 and 191 may also allow the entire album to be downloaded in a manner substantially the same as described above. However, it is to be noted that, in one example, each track in the album can be considered a separate download action to calculate the CWM ceiling or for reporting purposes. In an example of 18, 2009, 859, 'If an album is downloaded, the user will exceed the maximum Cwm limit, and the user will be prompted to exceed the maximum limit if he continues to download. The system can give the user a selection of which of the tracks in the album to download as the allowed CWM ceiling 5 or can give the user the number of items beyond the CWM ceiling. For example, if the album includes 10 tracks and the user has 5 available CWM downloads, the user can download 5 tracks for free and pay for the download of the other 5 tracks. In other instances, when downloading an album, a '''down fee can be applied to the ceiling. For example, if the album includes 10 tracks, the user's CWM download can be reduced to a maximum of 5 downloads. In an embodiment in which the CWM account includes a predetermined number of downloads per period or has a ceiling, the system can be configured to track the number of times the user can download. When the user downloads the media object (Fig. 7, 15 block 755), the system 100 thus increases the number of downloads in the user account (Fig. 7 block 760). When this ceiling is reached, the system ι indicates that the CWM ceiling has been reached and the user is no longer eligible for free downloads (at least in the remainder of the period). The system can also be configured to record each of the 20 download actions that have been performed in a service provider's CWM program (Fig. 7, block 765), so the service provider can report the download to any appropriate entity. The number of times, for example, to a music production company or a record company. As shown in Fig. 7, the system 10 can be configured to notify a user when the CWM subscription fails (Fig. 7, block 770), and 19 200935859 is available to the user for payment. Opportunity for Media Objects (blocks of Figure 7) As described above, in other embodiments, the user may be given the opportunity to purchase and download media items. In other instances, upon expiration of the CWM aT purchase, system 100 can cause the other device to act to enable the user to continue enjoying the CWM features. In another case, the user can continue to use his/her existing account', e.g., according to a paid acquisition/download method. It is to be noted that any balance already existing in the account prior to the inclusion of such CWM features may be used to purchase the item after the expiration of the CWM period.一 1〇 In one embodiment, the system 100 is configured to allow the user to

The mode of checking the user's CWM account includes, but is not limited to, any suitable menu system 124 of the system. In this example, the user activates the user's account (Fig. 8, block 800) and the system 100 presents the user with any appropriate account information (Fig. 8, block 810). It is noted that any suitable security feature can be utilized to assemble the system 1 to avoid unauthorized access to the user's account. In one example, system 100 checks the user's devices 1〇1 Q and i91 for a CWM program (Fig. 8, block 82〇). In other instances, the system 100 may not check a CWM program in the split. The system can display information, such as the start and end dates of the CWM subscription (Fig. 8, 830), the number of downloads remaining (after checking the CWM ceiling; Figure 8, blocks 840 and 850). In another embodiment, the system can be configured to allow a user to view the download history, including a list of downloaded objects in accordance with the user account (Fig. 8, block 860). The list may include articles, purchased objects, or combinations of such products downloaded in accordance with the CWM features of 20 200935859 5 ❹ 10 15 ❹ 20 . If the user has not downloaded any files, the history will show a downloaded object. If the list extends beyond the viewable area of display 114, the list can be scrolled or presented on - or multiple pages or screens. In another embodiment, the user history may allow for the restoration of previously downloaded objects after the expiration of the (:West|^ period. For example, a user may access the download history using any suitable means, eg, as described above. The item to be restored is selected in any suitable manner for downloading to the user's device 1〇1, and the user does not have to pay for the download.
