Methods, systems, and computer program products for sharing digital rights management-protected multimedia content using biometric data
First Claim
1. A method of sharing digital multimedia content having a rights object associated therewith between multiple devices, the method comprising:
- obtaining biometric user data at a first device via a biometric sensor associated therewith, the first device including digital multimedia content and an associated rights object therein;
combining the biometric user data obtained at the first device with the rights object to provide a user-specific rights object;
loading the multimedia content and the user-specific rights object on a second device;
obtaining biometric user data at the second device via a biometric sensor associated therewith;
combining the biometric user data obtained at the second device with the user-specific rights object to provide the rights object; and
rendering the digital multimedia content on the second device using the rights object.

Abstract
Digital multimedia content having a rights object associated therewith may be shared between multiple devices. A first device includes digital multimedia content and an associated rights object therein. Biometric user data is obtained at the first device via a biometric sensor associated therewith and is combined with the rights object to provide a user-specific rights object. The multimedia content and the user-specific rights object are loaded onto a second device. Biometric user data is obtained at the second device via a biometric sensor associated therewith and is combined with the user-specific rights object to provide the rights object at the second device. The digital multimedia content is rendered on the second device using the rights object.
