SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONICALLY PROTECTING DATA AND DIGITAL CONTENT
First Claim
1. A system for protecting sensitive data comprising:
- one or more clients, wherein each client has a data storage, a pre-content manager and a post-content manager;
wherein the pre-context manager extracts the sensitive data from the data storage, sends the extracted data to a server for storage, receives a pointer indicating where the extracted data has been stored and replaces the sensitive data on the data storage with the pointer;
wherein the post-content manager is communicably coupled with the pre-content manager or the server and one or more media devices, receives the sensitive data from the pre-content manager or the server, and transmits the sensitive data to the one or more media devices; and
a server communicably coupled to the one or more clients, wherein the server receives the extracted data from the one or more clients, stores the extracted data to a secure storage, generates the pointer and sends the pointer to the one or more clients.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for protecting sensitive data can be provided using a pre-content manager and a post-content manager. The pre-content manager extracts sensitive or non-sensitive data from a data storage on a client, sends the extracted sensitive data to a server for storage, receives a pointer indicating where the extracted sensitive data has been stored and replaces the sensitive data on the data storage on the client with the pointer. The post content manager receives the sensitive data from the pre-content manager and transmits the sensitive data to one or more media devices. The foregoing can be implemented as a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium wherein the steps are executed by one or more code segments.

13. An apparatus for protecting sensitive data comprising:
-
a data storage containing sensitive or non-sensitive data; one or more applications; a communications interface to a remote server having a secure storage; one or more media devices; a pre-content manager communicably coupled to the data storage, the one or more applications, and the communications interface, wherein the pre-content manager controls access to the data storage, extracts the sensitive data and non-sensitive from the data storage, sends the extracted sensitive data to the remote server for storage via the communications interface, receives a pointer indicating where the extracted sensitive data has been stored and replaces the sensitive data on the data storage with the pointer; a post-content manager communicably coupled with the pre-content manager or the server, and one or more media devices, wherein the post-content manager receives the sensitive data or the non-sensitive data from the pre-content manager or the server, and transmits the sensitive data or the non-sensitive data to the one or more media devices. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for protecting sensitive data on a data storage on a client device comprising the steps of:
-
extracting the sensitive data or non-sensitive data from the data storage on the client device, sending the extracted sensitive data to a server for storage, receiving a pointer indicating where the extracted sensitive data has been stored and replacing the extracted sensitive data on the data storage on the client device with the pointer, wherein the foregoing steps are performed using a pre-content manager; and receiving the extracted sensitive data from the pre-content manager and transmitting the extracted sensitive data to one or more media devices, wherein the foregoing steps are performed using a post-content manager. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for protecting sensitive data on a client device comprising:
-
a pre-content manager code segment for extracting the sensitive data or non-sensitive data from a data storage on the client device, sending the extracted sensitive data to a server for storage, receiving a pointer indicating where the extracted sensitive data has been stored and replacing the extracted sensitive data on the data storage on the client device with the pointer; and a post-content manager code segment for receiving the sensitive data from the pre-content manager and transmitting the sensitive data to one or more media devices. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33)
