Abstract

A method for performing interoperable digital rights management among different operating system platforms is disclosed. Digital rights management programs are coded and compiled based on specific operating systems. Directories and auto-run folders relating to the directories for the compiled digital rights management programs are set up in a memory device of an electronic device. The compiled digital rights management programs are stored in the auto-run folders, respectively. When the memory device is inserted in the electronic device, an auto-run function of an operating system of the electronic device is automatically activated to select an auto-run folder, and one of the compiled digital rights management programs stored in the selected auto-run folder is accessed and executed.

Claims

1. A method of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms, comprising:

coding and compiling digital rights management programs based on specific operating systems;

setting up directories and auto-run folders relating thereto for the compiled digital rights management programs on a memory device of an electronic device;

storing the compiled digital rights management programs in the auto-run folders respectively;

when the memory device is inserted in the electronic device, automatically activating an auto-run function of an operating system of the electronic device to select an auto-run folder; and

accessing and executing one of the compiled digital rights management programs stored in the selected auto-run folder.

2. The method of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

coding the digital rights management programs using program languages applicable for the specific operating systems.

3. The method of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

compiling the digital rights management programs to create executable files and corresponding packaged files for the specific operating systems using a compiler corresponding to the specific operating system.

4. The method of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 3, wherein the created executable file and corresponding packaged files are stored in their corresponding auto-run folders, respectively.

5. A system of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms, comprising:

a memory device, comprising plurality of directories, wherein each directory comprises an auto-run folder storing an executable file and corresponding packaged files for digital rights management programs corresponding to specific operating systems; and

an electronic device, installed with an operating system providing an auto-run function, wherein, when the memory device is inserted in the electronic device, the operating system automatically activates the auto-run function to select an auto-run folder corresponding to the operating system and accessing and executing an executable file and corresponding packaged files stored in the selected auto-run folder.

6. The system of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 5, wherein the digital rights management programs are coded and compiled based on the specific operating systems.

7. The system of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 5, wherein the digital rights management programs are coded using program languages applicable for the specific operating systems.

8. The system of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms as claimed in claim 5, wherein the digital rights management programs compiled to create the executable files and corresponding packaged files for the specific operating systems using a compiler corresponding to each specific operating system.

9. A computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions for performing a method of performing interoperable digital rights management program among different operating system platforms, the computer executable instructions comprising:

when a memory device is inserted in an electronic device, automatically activating an auto-run function to select an auto-run folder corresponding to an operating system of the electronic device, wherein the memory device comprises plurality of directories, each directory comprises an auto-run folder storing an executable file and corresponding packaged files for digital rights management programs corresponding to specific operating systems; and

accessing and executing an executable file and corresponding packaged files stored in the selected auto-run folder.
