Digital Asset (DA) Move Option Between Personal and Shared DA Libraries - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18328622 titled 'Digital Asset (DA) Move Option Between Personal and Shared DA Libraries

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a technique for managing digital assets (DAs) using personal and shared DA libraries.

  • The method involves establishing a personal DA library with DAs and related records, including a master record for each DA.
  • A separate shared DA library is also established.
  • When a share instruction is received for a particular DA in the personal library, a first part of the DA record, including the master record, is transferred to the shared library.
  • The second part of the DA record, which does not include the master record, is maintained in the personal library.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Digital asset management systems
  • Collaborative platforms for sharing digital assets
  • Content creation and distribution platforms

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient sharing of digital assets while maintaining control over personal records
  • Simplified management of digital assets in personal and shared libraries

Benefits of this technology:

  • Streamlined organization and access to digital assets
  • Enhanced collaboration and sharing capabilities
  • Improved control and privacy over personal digital asset records


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to techniques for managing digital assets (DAs). An example method includes: establishing, by one or more server devices, a personal DA library having DAs and related DA records, each of the DA records including a set of fields including a master record of a respective DA; establishing, by the one or more server devices, a shared DA library separate from the personal DA library; receiving, by the one or more server devices, a share DA instruction related to a particular DA in the personal DA library; transferring a first part of the DA record for the particular DA from the personal DA library to the shared DA library, the first part including the master record; and, after completing said transferring, maintaining a second part of the DA record for the particular DA in the personal DA library, wherein the second part does not include the master record.
