Systems and methods for receiving, storing, and rendering digital video, music, and pictures on a personal media player
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled with the processor, the memory comprising instructions for performing the following;
requesting, by the device, access to protected media content stored on a remote device;
receiving a validation that the device can access the protected media content based on at least one validation key stored on the device;
in response to receiving the validation, receiving, from the remote device the protected media content and at least one portable license key; and
processing the protected media content using the portable license key.

Abstract
A personal media player (PMP) uses a digital media processing system—comprising a video rendering subsystem, a music rendering subsystem, and a picture rendering subsystem—to produce moving-video (video), audio (music), still-graphics (picture), and other output rendered from media files ported to the PMP from another source. The PMP further comprises a user interface system, a display unit system, a power source system, and a data port system utilizing Universal Plug and Play functionality, all of which are coupled directly or indirectly to the digital media processing system. The physical components constituting the aforementioned systems and subsystems are then encased in a portable housing unit suitable for hand-held use and ready portability.
