Tracking Electronic Content
The central concept of “Tracking Electronic Content†is that access to electronic content can be tracked as it passes from user to user, whether they use the Internet, peer-to-peer networks, e-mail or physical media. The tracking function is accomplished by sending and receiving notification information as each successive user accesses or attempts to access the electronic content. The notification information can include any of the following:
- the user’s name, email address or credit card number
- demographic data collected from the user interactively
- system or network identification information derived from the user’s computer.
Once the notification information has been successfully sent to an address that is determined by the original sender, access to the content is then selectively granted based on previously defined criteria. This access granting mechanism also ties into the token authorization / payment processing concept patented by DigitalContainers in “Regulating Access to Digital Content†to create a complete SuperDRM system that is suitable for use in the music, film, e-book and enterprise markets.
