Definitions

  • This invention relates to distribution of digital content.
  • CDs are often reproduced in large volume and distributed in prepackaged containers through retail music stores. Some stores also use machines to "burn" selected music into CDs ordered by customers in the store. The music to be included on such a custom CD is provided by the music publisher, in some cases, by electronic transfer from a central location to the store.
  • One aim of the invention is to change the way people think about how they buy, store, and use music and other digital content.
  • people are accustomed to buying music on physical media (such as CDs) that are loaded into a player and rotated on a spindle under a laser reader for playback.
  • the CDs are bought in stores or ordered by telephone or on the World Wide Web. Once the CDs are bought, they are stored and protected from damage and carried along wherever the owner thinks he may want to listen to them.
  • the invention enables a person instead to think of his music collection as something that can be expanded (and is available to him) at almost any place and any time without the need to carry sometimes large numbers of playable media such as CDs.
  • the invention allows a person who is walking down a street in a big city and thinking about wanting to hear a certain piece of music to be able to obtain and play the music without having to find a music store or make use of a computer to download the music. Or if the piece of music is one that he already owns but which is not in his possession at the moment, he can get access to it and play it easily almost wherever he is.
  • the invention does for music what automatic teller machines (ATMs) did for cash.
  • ATMs automatic teller machines
  • the invention will be particularly effective for people who are mobile and digitally-adept.
  • Another aim of the invention is, in some cases, to alter the way that producers and owners of digital content protect and distribute of the content and derive revenue from it.
  • the content is viewed as an economic good that must be protected by copyright or licensing and the copying and distribution of the work is seen as the event that should trigger revenue with respect to each copy made.
  • the invention involves a modified model in which relationships between vendors and users and knowledge about the users also become a source of revenue generation.
  • the digital content continues to provide a medium for the generation and maintenance of the relationships, under this model, the need to derive revenue from every transaction involving a copy may be reduced.
  • the user by identifying himself and expressing an interest that relates to particular items or classes of digital content, the user initiates a relationship with producers, owners, and vendors of digital content that enables the generation of revenue.
  • the revenue may be generated immediately by delivery of a particular song, for example, or at a different place and time.
  • the relationship could last for many years.
  • the invention features a method that includes: (i) at a self-service electronic device that is accessible to the public, receiving (a) information about an interest of a user with respect to a product that includes digital content and (b) information identifying the user, and (ii) using the information about the user's interest and the information identifying the user to maintain an ongoing relationship with the user that includes a future commercial transaction involving digital content.
