DIGITAL CINEMA ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for managing asset attributes of a plurality of digital components, the method comprising:
- receiving at a server asset attributes corresponding to each of the plurality of digital components;
storing received asset attributes for each of the plurality of digital components in an asset attribute repository wherein each asset attribute is associated with its corresponding digital component;
identifying changes in the asset attribute repository;
receiving a request from a client for an asset attribute associated with at least one digital component; and
transmitting the asset attribute to the client in response to the request.

Abstract
A repository is created and maintained that receives and stores a plurality of attributes associated with digital components resident at a display complex and associated with particular digital cinema systems within that display complex. These attributes can be accessed by clients which thereafter use that data to securely convey digital content to a particular digital cinema system. Each display complex collects attributes associated with the digital cinema systems resident at the complex and pushes the data to a service module hosted on a server on a wide area network. Upon receiving the attributes corresponding to each digital component of each cinema system, the server conveys the data to a repository for storage. Thereafter, responsive to a request from a client, data needed to securely convey content to a digital cinema system is retrieved from the repository and conveyed to the requesting client.
