Managing Redistribution Of Digital Media Assets - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623962 titled 'Managing Redistribution Of Digital Media Assets

The abstract of the patent application describes a method where a computing device obtains an original digital media asset along with a distributed ledger that tracks ownership. The device then generates a customized digital media asset to replace the original one, modifies the distributed ledger to reflect the customization, and publishes the customized asset to a server for distribution. The distributed ledger is updated to indicate the new ownership when the customized asset is transferred to a new owner.

  • The computing device obtains an original digital media asset and a distributed ledger tracking ownership.
  • It generates a customized digital media asset to replace the original one.
  • The distributed ledger is modified to reflect the customization and ownership of the customized asset.
  • The customized digital media asset is published to a server for distribution.
  • Upon transfer of ownership, the distributed ledger is updated to indicate the new owner.

Original Abstract Submitted

In some implementations, a computing device may obtain an original digital media asset published to a server device along with a distributed ledger that tracks ownership of the original digital media asset. The computing device may generate a customized digital media asset that replaces the original digital media asset, and modify the distributed ledger to indicate the customization or modification of the original digital media asset and identify the customized digital media asset and the ownership thereof. The computing device may publish the customized digital media asset to a server device for distribution. Upon transfer of ownership of the customized digital media asset to a new owner, the distributed ledger may be modified to indicate the new ownership of the customized digital media asset.
