First Claim
1. A system for processing access rights to digital contents in a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system, the system comprising:
- a first device adapted to generate and transmit a request message, the request message indicating a transaction to be performed on at least one rights object (RO) related to accessing the digital contents;
a server adapted to receive the request message, determine the transaction, process the transaction and provide the digital contents to at least one of the first device and a second device, wherein the transaction comprises the transfer of the at least one RO to the second device.

Abstract
A message, method and system for processing rights object (RO) in a DRM system are disclosed. A message for requesting submission or return of an unused/partially consumed rights object (RO) is newly defined. When an authenticated device generates such a request message and transmits it to a right issuer (RI), the RI checks whether there exists an ID of a receiving device in the request message. If an ID of a receiving device exists in the request message, the RI performs a procedure for submitting the RO to the ID of the receiving device. If, however, the ID of the receiving device does not exist, the RI performs a procedure of returning of the RO or issuing of a different RO. Accordingly, the unused RO or partially consumed RO can be returned or submitted to a different device by using the request message.
