Method and apparatus of determining access rights to content items
InactiveUS20070073694A1Mitigates and/or alleviatesAccurate measurementTransmissionProgram/content distribution protectionRights managementMetadata
Access rights to content items, such as personal photos etc, is determined in response to content metadata and requester metadata. A plurality of content items is stored in a content item store. An access right processor determines content metadata for the plurality of content items. When a request for a content item is determined, the access right processor determines requester metadata for the request. The requester metadata comprises data of a characteristic of a requester of the request. The access right processor then determines access rights in response to the content metadata and the requester metadata. If a positive access right is determined, the requested content item may be sent to the requester. The access right may further be determined in response to past usage data or context data for the content items. The invention may allow an improved and automated access right management.
