Conditional authorization for security-activated device
First Claim
1. A method for implementing licensing rights regarding a security-controlled process, comprising:
- obtaining access to an object data file configured to control implementation of the security-controlled process by enabling or disabling an operational component in accordance with a licensing restriction;
further obtaining a digital rights management code that provides access protection to the object data file;
determining that an aspect of the security-controlled process is subject to the licensing restriction applicable to a proprietary aspect of the security-controlled process and/or the operational component and/or an output of the security-controlled process; and
pursuant to processing the digital rights management code, providing interaction to enable or disable the operational component of the security-controlled process.

Abstract
Various methods and systems include exemplary implementations for a security-activated operational component involved in creating or producing or duplicating or processing or testing one or more objects. Possible embodiments include but are not limited to obtaining access to an object data file configured to implement various functional operations regarding one or more objects; verifying validity of an authorization code associated with the object data file; and controlling operation of the operational component based on operational monitoring data processed by a verification module in accordance with a permission agreement and/or a licensing restriction.

23. A security system for implementing a licensing restriction regarding a security-controlled process, the system comprising:
-
a digital rights management code that is configured to control a proprietary aspect of the security-controlled process and/or an operational component and/or an output of the security-controlled process; a verification module configured to monitor a functional parameter of the security-controlled process, wherein the verification module is operably coupled to the digital rights management code and operably coupled to the operational component; and an object data file associated with the digital right management code, wherein the object data file is configured to activate or disable the operational component based on confirmation from the verification module regarding compliance with the licensing restriction. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
