Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to MP3 type digitally encoded audio systems.
- MP3 technology allows users to download free audio and music content over the Internet for play on MP3 compatible playing devices, including those that are portable and those internal to a personal computer.
- MP3 compatible playing devices including those that are portable and those internal to a personal computer.
- a major drawback to the presently available MP3 devices and technologies is that they afford virtually no protection against copyright infringements by either Internet MP3 sourcing parties, nor by MP3 end users.
- the present invention remedies this functional deficiency through a novel and innovative process for controlling access to media content.
- the present invention relates to on-line servers and databases operated by a media service providing operation across the Internet. These services are used by customers who purchase Media Player units, which may be embodied in portable players or fixed-base PC's.
- each Media Player unit's built-in modem provides transfer of the audio and music content from a private world- web site, only accessible from a registered Media Player unit that is an embodiment of the present invention.
- Another aspect of this invention is the incorporation of a unique serial number for each Media Player unit.
- This number is registered with the system web site through which access to the audio and music content is given, along with the customer credit card or other means of billing fees (i.e. direct electronic transfer from checking accounts, etc.).
- the then-operational Media Player unit can be used to access servers, which give access to audio and music content libraries, on a per title bases. Preselected portions of titles may be made available for free listening by prior arrangements with audio and music content providers. Once titles are selected for downloading, corresponding charges are made to the customer's account. Each account is billed to the pre-arranged credit card on a monthly basis.
- Another aspect of this invention is that the Media Player will have neither output ports nor removable memory chips in order to prevent digital copying. This aspect protects against copyright infringement.
- the fees for downloading will be low (i.e. 25 cents per title) due to the low cost of conveying the song to the customer. This low cost will be seen as a valuable feature by the end user.
- copyright rights are protected and the artists and recording companies can collect negotiated fees on a per title basis.
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the inter-networked system components according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a flowchart of the initial Media Player registration process according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the inter-networked system components.
- the representative system databases 1 and 1' are connected to individual representative servers 4 and 4'. Each database 1 and 1' may contain customer data 2 and/or library data 3. Servers 4 and 4' may be on-line on the Internet, or on a local area network (LAN), etc. Each of these servers 4 and 4' has a network interface.
- LAN local area network
- the typical Media Player unit 6 contains a dial-up modem 5, a unique serial number 7, and storage memory 8.
- Serial number 7 may be any unique code or identifier. Any data, either customer data 2 or library content 3, can be accessed by the access service 9 via network link 12 to a server 4 and database 1.
- Library content 3 may include, for example, audio and music content.
- Encrypted link 10 may be a conventional Internet/network link. This way, unique serial number 7 from Media Player unit 6 is the public/private key for encrypted link 10. Also, this way, the requesting Media Player can receive and store the download information for playback.
- FIG. 2 depicts a flowchart of the Media Player registration process.
- a Media Player When a Media Player is first purchased 20, it may have some promotional or instructional content, which is factory loaded. The Player is not at first, however, capable of accessing media selections over the private access world-wide-web site. By simply connecting the Media Player 6 to any telephone jack and selecting the connection mode, the Player will dial a free access number 21. Once connection is established, the access service will discover that this is a first time call 25. The registration process will then continue, whereby the access service registers the unit serial number 22 along with the user's billing information and other required personal information 23. Once registered, the Media Player can be used freely within the conditions established by the service provider for sampling and usage of titles, groups of titles, other content, or other promotional schemes. This way, after registration, the user is free to sample and purchase content from the server 4 simply by dialing in access to, and requesting titles from, access service 9.
- this system provides legal access control to copyrighted music, for a low cost and also it gives great flexibility in content selection.
- this invention provides a direct low cost Internet distribution capability that protects copyrighted music and derives a steady income stream. It completely prevents digital copying. It also provides the capability to introduce and promote new artists with small followings with minimal cost.
- multiple income streams can be realized through patent licensing fees, fees per title, advertising fees on the world- wide- web site and Media
- the service provider will also gain an ability to promote its own and new artists in a cost-effective manner.
- a media player unit with a unique identifier registered with an on-line server and a database, and enabled by said unique identifier to receive data from said server and database.
- the player unit of Claim 1 with also a dial-up modem and storage memory.
- An MP3 type media player with a unique serial number registered with an Internet website, and enabled by said unique serial number to receive media content from said Internet website.
- a secured network comprising: an on-line server and a database available to said server; an encrypted link from said server to a media player; said media player having a dial-up modem and a unique identifier; an access service available to said dial-up modem, and enabled by said unique identifier to permit said on-line server to transmit data via said encrypted link to said media player.
