First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing access to a digital asset of a distributed computing environment, the environment having a central computing device that stores an asset identification tag for at least one digital asset and one or more clients that locally stores respective digital assets, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving a request from a user for access to a digital asset;
(b) determining a categorization associated with the digital asset;
(c) evaluating a rule associated with the categorization of the digital asset to generate a result; and
(d) providing access to the digital asset when the result indicates that the end-user is allowed to access the digital asset.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing digital assets in a distributed computing environment are described. Meta-data for the digital assets is stored separately from the digital assets. Meta-data for some of the digital assets is copied and stored at a central location. Meta-data for the digital assets is generated by clients of the system.

7. A system for providing access to digital assets of a distributed computing environment, the environment having a central computing device that stores an asset identification tag for at least one digital asset and one or more clients that locally stores respective digital assets, the system comprising:
a computing device that receives a request from a user for access to digital assets, determines a categorization associated with the digital asset, evaluates a rule associated with the categorization of the digital asset to generate a result, and provide access to the digital asset when the result indicates that the end-user is allowed to access the digital asset. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer readable medium having executable instructions thereon to provide access to a digital asset of a distributed computing environment, the environment having a central computing device that stores an asset identification tag for at least one digital asset and one or more clients that locally stores respective digital assets, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
(a) instructions to receive a request from a user for access to a digital asset;
(b) instructions to determine a categorization associated with the digital asset;
(c) instructions to evaluate a rule associated with the categorization of the digital asset to generate a result; and
(d) instructions to provide access to the digital asset when the result indicates that the end-user is allowed to access the digital asset. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
