More on The DeO Media-shuttleTM
A DeO Media-shuttle is accessed
via URL. Each Media-shuttle has security attributes attached to it. The
URL is encrypted using an MD5 hash algorithm and has a configurable expiration
attribute attached to it as well. This protects the content provider from
having their content freely distributed throughout the web. For example, once
the end user accesses their content delivered by the DeO Media-shuttle by
accessing the URL supplied to them, the content delivered by the shuttle can be
consumed in its entirety, but the URL associated with the shuttle expires
rendering it useless for consumption by others. If the subscriber has paid for
multiple views of the content then they may access the media-shuttle subsequent
times with a fresh URL assigned to the shuttle. All this is under control of
the DeO Intelligent Media Deployment PlatformTM.
The access point for the
Media-shuttle can be restricted to control piracy. For example, the
Media-shuttle trigger generates a personalized shuttle. But where the shuttle
is accessed from, is under control of the DeO Intelligent Media Deployment
Platform as per the rules established and defined by the Content Provider. The
trigger may give coordinates to a consumer account area and the Media-shuttle
may be imbedded in that account area, thus the consumer never has access to the
URL. Even if access to the URL were gained they would not be able to access the
Media-shuttle outside of the account area. If the content provider leaves this
platform control undefined, then access to the Media-shuttle is open from
anywhere. The choice is entirely up to the Content Provider. |
