Digital content subscription conditioning system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining a subscription revenue associated with an aggregation of content assets;
determining an earned revenue portion of the subscription revenue;
receiving coefficient driver values using a user interface, wherein one or more of the coefficient driver values correspond to a number of top ten songs for a creator of one or more of the content assets of the aggregation, a number of platinum records for the creator, a number of years the creator has been with a recording company, or a number of records produced by the creator;
dynamically generating, by one or more processors, a conditioning coefficient for the one or more content assets of the aggregation using the received coefficient driver values, wherein the conditioning coefficient is a value that is factored into a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more content assets;
calculating a distributed revenue portion of the earned revenue portion using the dynamically generated conditioning coefficient; and
affecting a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more of the content assets of the aggregation based on the distributed revenue portion.

Abstract
Allocating subscription revenue may involve receiving usage information relating to usage of digital content (e.g., music, movies, text, images, games) in a digital content aggregation, identifying a coefficient relating to a subset of digital works in the digital content aggregation (e.g., author-specific subjective or objective factors, popularity ranking, historical factors, performance factors, etc.), and generating a revenue allocation for the digital content based on the coefficient and the usage information.

20. A system comprising:
-
one or more computers; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more computers having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising; determining a subscription revenue associated with an aggregation of content assets, determining an earned revenue portion of the subscription revenue, receiving coefficient driver values using a user interface, wherein one or more of the coefficient driver values correspond to a number of top ten songs for a creator of one or more of the content assets of the aggregation, a number of platinum records for the creator, a number of years the creator has been with a recording company, or a number of records produced by the creator, dynamically generating a conditioning coefficient for the one or more content assets of the aggregation using the received coefficient driver values, wherein the conditioning coefficient is a value that is factored into a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more content assets, calculating a distributed revenue portion of the earned revenue portion using the dynamically generated conditioning coefficient, and affecting a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more of the content assets of the aggregation based on the distributed revenue portion. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
determining a subscription revenue associated with an aggregation of content assets; determining an earned revenue portion of the subscription revenue; receiving coefficient driver values using a user interface, wherein one or more of the coefficient driver values correspond to a number of top ten songs for a creator of one or more of the content assets of the aggregation, a number of platinum records for the creator, a number of years the creator has been with a recording company, or a number of records produced by the creator; dynamically generating a conditioning coefficient for the one or more content assets of the aggregation using the received coefficient driver values, wherein the conditioning coefficient is a value that is factored into a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more content assets; calculating a distributed revenue portion of the earned revenue portion using the dynamically generated conditioning coefficient; and affecting a royalty payment made to the creator of the one or more of the content assets of the aggregation based on the distributed revenue portion. - View Dependent Claims (23)
