No. 60/657,222, filed Feb. 28, 2005, entitled A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING MEDIA OVER A NETWORK, and U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/678,718, filed May 5, 2005, entitled A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING MEDIA OVER A NETWORK, both of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The expansion of the Internet and the World Wide Web (“web”) has given computer users the enhanced ability to listen to and to watch various different forms of media from various sources through their computers. This media can be in the form of audio music, music videos, and television programs, sporting events or any other form of audio or video media that a user wishes to watch or listen to. As time evolved, users were able to take the music that was on that compact disc store it on their computers and listen to it locally. Further, online media sources developed which allowed users to acquire thousands of media files. Typically, these online media sources employ digital rights manegement (DRM) to restrict the usage of media files purchased and downloaded online. Additionally, systems were developed which allowed users in a network environment to share their media collection with other networked computing devices. However, the current systems are not capable of supporting the access and playback of a comprehensive set of media files with several types of associated DRM such as streaming media files, tethered downloads, and/or purchased downloads. Thus, what is lacking in each of the currently available systems is a system in which all types of media files, regardless of their associated DRM or rights are available for viewing and playback on a computing device, in one aspect, in a network environment.

In one embodiment, the disclosed method allows access and playback, from each computing device on a network, of all media files in a media collection, regardless of their associated rights. In one embodiment, the media files available within a network are from an online media service and thus are streamed or downloaded as a tethered download. In a further embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method, and user interface for sharing a media collection among a computing device and a network enabled device in communication via a network.
- As used herein, the term network can encompass any type or size of network such as the internet or a home, corporate, or local area networking environment whether local or wireless. Further, in one embodiment, the term computing device refers to any device capable of recognizing a unique token. In one embodiment, a unique token may be associated with a user or member id unique to an online media service or online community. In one embodiment, the computing device can comprise devices such as a local computer, a cellular phone, a portable media device, a personal digital assistant, or any device with the processing power and the ability to recognize a unique token. In one embodiment, a network enabled device comprises those devices not capable of recognizing a unique token.
- Additionally, as used herein, a tethered download is a file that contains a time-based DRM that expires after a certain amount of time. For example, if a user is part of a subscription service and has the rights to access a certain media file for a certain length of time, a tethered download of that media file is loaded onto the user's processor and the user will be able to play that file for a certain length of time (e.g., 30 days). At the end of the predetermined length of time, the file becomes unusable and can no longer be played by the user.
- In addition, as used herein, the terms content or media or media files are used broadly to encompass any type or category of experienceable, retrievable, filed and/or stored media, either singly or collectively, and individual items of media or content are generally referred to as entries, songs, tracks, items or files, however, the use of any one term is not to be considered limiting as the concepts features and functions described herein are generally intended to apply to any storable and/or retrievable item that may be experienced by a user, whether audibly, visually or otherwise, in any manner now known or to become known. For example, audio, video, personal packaged audio and or video content such as podcasting, music videos, RSS feeds, still images or photos, and/or variations and combinations thereof.
- In one embodiment, the method and user interface for sharing a media collection among computing devices and/or network enabled devices in a network environment, allow each computing device and/or network enabled device to browse, access and/or playback any media file located with the network. Various combinations and variations of computing devices, network enabled devices, and the overall configurations of the network are contemplated. Some exemplary system architectures or configurations are depicted in
FIGS. 1-3 . - In one embodiment, as depicted in
FIG. 1 ,several computing devices computing device computing devices internet 125. For example, inFIG. 1 onlyComputing Device 1 105 is directly connected to the Internet and theother computing devices Computing Device 1 105. Thus, each computing device can communicate with each other. In another example, as depicted inFIG. 2 , eachcomputing device internet 125. Further, as depicted inFIG. 3 ,Computing Device 1 105 may be connected to theinternet 125 and in turn connected to several network enableddevices - In a further embodiment, as depicted in
FIG. 1 , the internet connection allows a computing device, such asComputing Device 1 105, to communicate and access media files from an online media service, depicted as a media server 130, such as Yahoo! Media Engine and/or Musicmatch. In one embodiment, such an online media service allows a computing device to access thousands of media files available to the user via a subscription basis. Thus, in one embodiment, each computing device and/or network enabled device is capable of sharing, accessing, browsing, or playing the subscription based media files in a network environment. - An exemplary method of sharing, accessing, browsing, and/or playing back a media file in a media file collection within a network environment is depicted in
FIG. 4 . As depicted inFIG. 4 , first, one of the computing devices and/or network enabled devices on the network requests 405 access to a media collection on another computing devices and/or network enabled devices within the network. - In one embodiment, the
request sequence 405 may comprise of multiple steps. In one embodiment, the requesting device, the computing device requesting the media collection, first identifies itself to the network. It is contemplated that any computing device is capable of being characterized as the requesting device. Other interested devices will then in turn identify themselves with the requesting device. At this point, the requesting device submits its device identity to the particular device it wishes to share from. The sharing device, the computing device which is associated with the media collection being requested by the requesting device, then verifies the device credentials and depending on the verification, allows the requesting device to proceed. - As depicted in
FIG. 4 , the requesting device requests and receives 410 a set of media file identifiers from the computing devices and/or network enabled devices. In one embodiment, the media file identifiers comprise pointers, urls, and/or uris associated with each media file in the requested media file collection and/or playlist. In another embodiment, the media file identifiers may also contain other information with respect to each media file such as whether the content is protected, the identity of the media file creator, the title, bit rate, duration, and/or size. In another embodiment, the requesting device can search for specific media that it is interested in. For example, it may request the first 5 tracks of unprotected audio belonging to the album Face in the Crowd, by artist Celeste. In another example, all audio files containing titles that starts with letter ‘A” belonging to the Genres Electronic and Dance. Then, based on the response some or the entire media file identifiers are displayed 415 at the requesting device. In a further embodiment, the requesting device receives any metadata associated with the request media file collection and/or playlist that is necessary to display the contents at the requesting device. For example, such metadata ay comprise the media files' title, artist, bit rate, duration, file size, album, genre, creation date, protection flag, mimtetype etc. It should be appreciated that there may be an indeterminate amount of metadata associated with a media file. Further, a requesting device can specify explicitly the type of metadata it is interested in when making the request. In one embodiment, at this point, the requesting device is capable of displaying and browsing through the computing devices/network enabled device's media collection and/or playlists. However, in one embodiment, as depicted inFIG. 4 , in order for the requesting device to playback those media files, a set of rules must first be referenced 420. - In one embodiment, the set of rules is referenced in order to provide or deny authorization to the media files. An exemplary set of rules is depicted in
FIG. 12 is described in further detail herein. In one embodiment, the media files are associated with an online media service. With reference toFIG. 4 , after the set of rules have beenreference 420, and authorization is successful, the requesting device can playback 425 some or all of the media files. In one embodiment, the authorization to request, view and play content is entirely at the choosing of the sharing device. For example, it may limit a device to only request five files. In another embodiment, it may choose to authorize devices that are only connected to the local network. Further, even as the device is playing, it may choose to deauthorize and prevent the requesting device from performing further actions. In one embodiment, all of these functions are based on rules created apriori for that content, or device or user or all of the above. - In one such embodiment, the set of rules applies to media files available from an online media service based on a subscription to the media service. In one embodiment, each subscription is associated with allowing access to particular media file formats by assigning that subscriber a particular permission, subscription, or authorization level. For example, media files from online media services are typically available as a streamed media file, as a purchasable, permanent download, and/or as a tethered download. Accordingly, a subscription could be associated a particular permission, subscription, or authorization level that allows that subscription to access all streaming media files and tethered downloads, but requires remittance in order to purchase a permanent download. In one embodiment, the level of access and the particular format of media files accessible may be dictated by price driven by DRM fees and pre-determined licensed fees. However, in one embodiment, sharing media files (of all formats) from an online media service available based on a subscriber's associate authorization level in a network environment requires that each computing device and/or network enabled device adhere to a set of rules. In one embodiment, these rules are applied when a computing device and/or network enabled device attempt to access or browse a media file collection of another computing device and/or network enabled device on the network. In another embodiment, these rules are applied when a computing device and/or network enabled device attempts to playback any media file in the media file collections of another computing device and/or network enabled device on the network.
- In one embodiment, it is contemplated that the network only comprises computing devices. In another embodiment, the network may comprise a combination of computing device(s) and network enabled device(s). Further, each computing device has a particular subscription to an online media service and thus authorization level associated with it. Thus, in one embodiment, the level of access between these computing devices depends on their associated subscription level and the type of media files being accessed.
FIG. 12 depicts an exemplary chart illustrating a set of rules. As can be seen inFIG. 12 , the set of rules are based on an online media service subscription level associated with the requesting computing device and the sharing device and the media file format. Referring toFIG. 12 , the requesting computing device comprises the computing device requesting access and/or playback of a media file from another computing device on the network. Further, the sharing computing device comprises the computing device from which the media file collection and/or playlist is being requested from. - As depicted in
FIG. 12 , in one embodiment, if the requesting computing device does not have any subscription to theonline media service 1205, but the sharing computing device has a subscription 1210, then for the streaming media files associated with the sharing computing device's media collection, the requesting device can only play a portion of themedia file 1215. For example, the requesting device could only play a 30 second clip of the media file. In another embodiment, the requesting device could be denied all access to the media file. - In another embodiment, if the requesting computing device does not have any subscription to the
online media service 1205, but the sharing computing device has a subscription 1210, then for the tethered downloaded media files associated with the sharing computing device's media collection, the requesting device has full access provided that the sharing device hasproper access 1220. However, in another embodiment, the requesting device must sign into the online media service under the sharing device'ssubscription id 1220. Then, the sharing device has full access to the tethered downloads. - In another embodiment, if the requesting computing device does not have any subscription to the
online media service 1205, but the sharing computing device has a subscription 1210, then for the purchased downloaded media files associated with the sharing computing device's media collection, the requesting device has full access provided that the sharing device hasproper access 1225. However, in another embodiment, the requesting device must sign into the online media service under the sharing device'ssubscription id 1225. Then, the sharing device has full access to the purchased downloads. - In yet another embodiment, if the requesting computing device does not have any subscription to the
online media service 1205, but the sharing computing device has a subscription 1210, then for the non-DRM media files, media files with no associated licensing and purchasing rights, associated with the sharing computing device's media collection, the requesting device has full access to the non-DRM media files 1230. - In another embodiment, if both the requesting computing device and the sharing computing device are both associated with
subscriptions - In a further embodiment, the computing devices and/or network enabled devices within the network may be restricted to a set of rules not associated with a subscription to an online media service. For example, a set of rules may limit the number of devices that can share media files among each other. In another embodiment, this number may be based on the number of computing devices and does not account for network enabled devices. In another embodiment, a set of rules may only allow a computing device to stream media files to a certain number of network enabled devices. In another embodiment, a set of rules may require that all the computing devices and/or network enabled devices be located on the same subnet. Of course, many variations of rules, whether subscription based or not, known to those skilled in the art are contemplated.
- In one embodiment, with reference to
FIG. 1 , in one example, the requesting device isComputing Device 1 105 and the sharing device isComputing Device 2 110. Of course, the requesting and sharing computing device may be any computing device within the network. Referring toFIG. 1 , if the requestingdevice 105 is granted access to the media files associated with the sharing computing device's 110 media collection, the requestingcomputing device 105 can stream the media file directly from thesharing computing device 110. In another embodiment, the requestingdevice 105 can stream the media file directly from the media server 130. For example, the requesting media device can obtain an identifier, pointer, url, uri, or bookmark associated with the media file and use it to request the associated media file directly from the server. - In one embodiment, in which a network comprises a network enabled device, each network enabled device streams the media files, regardless of format or subscription, from the sharing media device. In another embodiment, if necessary, the computing device will request the media file from a media server and then stream it back to the requesting network enabled device.
- Of course, these embodiments are not limited to streaming, tethered downloads, and/or purchased downloads, but can apply to any media files which require a specified level of sharing, viewing, and/or playing access. For example, it could be negotiated that certain media files generally not available for full-length sharing could be shared and played between any computing device and/or network enabled device of any status (subscribing or non-subscribing) for a pre-determined number of times.
- In one embodiment, a user interface assists in the accessing, sharing, searching, and/or playback of a media collection in a network environment. In one embodiment, the user interface may be a part of a media management program. For example Yahoo! Music Engine or Musicmatch Jukebox. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the ability to share, search, and/or playback a media collection in a network environment is incorporated as a network application. In one embodiment, the network application may be characterized network feature or component of a media management program. An exemplary embodiment of user interfaces for sharing a media collection in a network environment is depicted in
