User agent for facilitating transactions in networks
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating title-based transactions in a network using title objects, each title object including title data identifying a corresponding digital asset and access rights relating to the corresponding digital asset, the title-based transactions involving transfers of corresponding ones of the title objects, the method comprising:
- presenting a first interface on a first device on the network in conjunction with at least a portion of a second interface corresponding to an application to which operation of the first interface is coupled;
enabling a first user associated with the first device to view and manipulate first ones of the title objects associated with the first user using the first interface; and
enabling the first user to initiate a first transaction involving at least one of first title objects using the first interface in conjunction with the application.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described which enable transactions in electronic networks through the use of title objects. A title object may have a number of elements and attributes which identify one or more digital assets or resources and define access rights to the corresponding digital assets or resources. An agent acting on behalf of the user enables the user to manage the titles in his rights portfolio and engage in transactions in network environments.

35. At least one computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored therein for facilitating title-based transactions in a network using title objects, each title object including title data identifying a corresponding digital asset and access rights relating to the corresponding digital asset, the title-based transactions involving transfers of corresponding ones of the title objects, the computer program instructions being operable to cause at least one computer to:
-
present a first interface on a first device on the network in conjunction with at least a portion of a second interface corresponding to an application to which operation of the first interface is coupled;
enable a first user associated with the first device to view and manipulate first ones of the title objects associated with the first user using the first interface; and
enable the first user to initiate a first transaction involving at least one of first title objects using the first interface in conjunction with the application. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
