Embedded content requests in a rights locker system for digital content access control
First Claim
1. An apparatus for accessing digital content in a digital content repository, the apparatus comprising:
- a user device associated with a token for use in creating authenticated rights locker access requests, wherein said token is stored remotely from said user device; and
a processor of the user device configured todetermine, at the user device, a digital content specification associated with the digital content stored at the digital content repository, andsend, from the user device to a rights locker provider for a rights locker, a first authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification, wherein said first authenticated rights locker access request is based on said token and stored on said user device for providing access by said user device to said rights locker provider for said rights locker, and wherein the first authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL;
receive, at the user device, from the rights locker provider, in response to said first authenticated rights locker access request and said digital content specification, and based on a status of the token, a second authenticated rights locker access request based on said token and an authenticated digital content request, wherein the second authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL;
store on the user device at least part of the second authenticated rights locker access request;
receive, at the user device, an indication of a user selection associated with the authenticated digital content request;
send, from the user device, in response to said indication of a user selection, the authenticated digital content request to the digital content repository; and
receive the digital content, at the user device from the digital content repository, in response to said authenticated digital content request.

Abstract
Access to digital content may be controlled by determining a digital content specification and associated authenticated rights locker access request, sending the authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification, and receiving a new authenticated rights locker access request and a Web page with clickable links in response to the sending, where at least one of the clickable links is associated with an authenticated digital content request. When an indication of a user selection of one of the clickable links is received, an authenticated digital content request associated with the user-selected clickable link is sent to a digital content repository. The digital content is received in response to the sending of the authenticated digital content request.

10. A method for providing digital content access control for access from a user device to a digital content stored at a digital content repository, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing on the user device an authenticated rights locker access request received from a rights locker provider and based on a token stored remotely from said user device, said authenticated rights locker access request providing access by said user device to said rights locker provider for a rights locker, and wherein the authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL; determining, at the user device, a digital content specification associated with the digital content stored at the digital content repository; sending, from the user device to the rights locker provider for the rights locker, the authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification; receiving, at the user device, from the rights locker provider, in response to the authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification, and based on a status of the token, a new authenticated rights locker access request based on said token, and an authenticated digital content request, wherein the new authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL; storing on said user device at least part of the new authenticated rights locker access request; receiving, at the user device, an indication of a user selection associated with the authenticated digital content request; sending, from the user device, in response to said indication of a user selection, the authenticated digital content request to the digital content repository; and receiving, at the user device from the digital content repository, in response to sending the authenticated digital content request, the digital content. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage media, including instructions stored thereon for accessing digital content stored at a digital content repository, which instructions, when read and executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
-
storing on a user device an authenticated rights locker access request received from a rights locker provider and based on a token stored remotely from said user device, said authenticated rights locker access request providing access by said user device to said rights locker provider for a rights locker, and wherein the authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL; determining, at the user device, a digital content specification associated with the digital content stored at the digital content repository; sending, from the user device to the rights locker provider for the rights locker, the authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification; receiving, at the user device, from the rights locker provider, in response to the authenticated rights locker access request and the digital content specification, and based on a status of the token, a new authenticated rights locker access request based on said token, and an authenticated digital content request, wherein the new authenticated rights locker access request is in the form of a tokenized URL; storing on said user device at least part of the new authenticated rights locker access request; receiving, at the user device, an indication of a user selection associated with the authenticated digital content request; sending the authenticated digital content request to the digital content repository from the user device, in response to said indication of a user selection; and receiving the digital content at the user device from the digital content repository, in response to sending the authenticated digital content request. - View Dependent Claims (20)
