Digital rights management using geographic and temporal traits
First Claim
1. In a digital medium environment to control access to at least one item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- collecting geographic data describing geographical traits of a location associated with a request received from the user, by the computing device, to access the content;
collecting social network data from at least one social network service associated with the user that originated the request, the social network data describing a location associated with a social network post as part of the at least one social network service;
determining from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content whether the geographical traits meet specified traits of a geographical behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content, the determining including calculating a likelihood that access to the at least one item of content will be compromised at the location associated with the user and verifying the collected geographic data describing the geographical traits of the location using the collected social network data from the at least one social network service describing the location associated with the social network post; and
responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, permitting access to the least one item of the content, by the embedded digital rights management module, at the geographic location.

Abstract
Digital rights management using geographic and temporal traits is described. In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment is configured to control access to at least on item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content. Data is collected describing geographical traits of a location or temporal traits associated with a request received from the user to access the content. A determination is made from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content as to whether the geographical or temporal traits meet specified traits of a geographical behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content. Responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, access is permitted to the least one item of the content by the embedded digital rights management module.

11. In a digital medium environment to control access to at least on item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
-
collecting data describing temporal traits associated with a request received from a user to access the content by the computing device and geographical traits of a location associated with the request received from the user to access the content; determining from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content whether the temporal traits meet specified traits of a temporal behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content, the determining including calculating a likelihood of access to the at least one item of content being compromised at the location associated with the user; responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, permitting access to the least one item of the content by the embedded digital rights management module; and permitting access to another item of the content by the embedded digital rights management module regardless of a result of the determination. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 20)

14. A computing device comprising:
-
a processing system; position determining functionality to generate data describing geographical traits of a location of the computing device; and memory configured to maintain content having an embedded digital rights management module that is executable by the processing system to control access to respective ones of a plurality of items of the content based at least in part on a determination as to whether a request to access at least one item of the plurality of items of the content meets specified geographic traits of a behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module, the determination based in part on a calculation of a likelihood of access to the at least one item of content being compromised at the location, the control including verifying the data describing geographical traits that is generated using position determination functionality of the computing device using data collected by an analytics service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
