Digital asset hosting and distribution among user accounts
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating a first user account for a first user associated with a first computing device and a second user account for a second user associated with a second computing device;
generating, by at least one processor, a library of digital assets shared among the first user and the second user by creating a link between the first user account and the second user account;
receiving, from the second computing device, a user-generated update configuration parameter that defines an update event for when to update the second user account, wherein the update event comprises connecting the second computing device of the second user associated with the second user account to a network;
receiving, from a portable media device associated with the second user account, a request for updates based on a predetermined update interval;
receiving, from the first computing device of the first user a modification to the library of digital assets;
detecting the update event by determining the second computing device of the second user connects to the network;
in response to detecting the update event, automatically updating, by the at least one processor, the second user account with the modification to the library of digital assets; and
sending the portable media device associated with the second user account at least one update according to the predetermined update interval.

Abstract
A first collection of content that includes digital assets is maintained on a host computer. Based on a determination that a portable media device becomes connected to a client computer that is separate from the host computer and that interacts with the host computer, initiation of a synchronization of the first collection of content resident on the host computer with a second collection of content on the portable media device is automatically triggered. The synchronization of the first collection with the second collection includes a transfer of at least one of the digital assets from the host computer to the client computer to the portable media device and is triggered and conditioned upon the determination that the portable media device has become connected to the client computer.

15. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to; generate a first user account for a first user associated with a first computing device and a second user account for a second user associated with a second computing device; generate a library of digital assets shared among the first user and the second user by creating a link between the first user account and the second user account; receive, from the second computing device, a user-generated update configuration parameter that defines an update event for when to update the second user account, wherein the update event comprises connecting the second computing device of the second user associated with the second user account to a network; receive, from a portable media device associated with the second user account, a request for updates based on a predetermined update interval; receive, from the first computing device of the first user, a modification to the library of digital assets; detect the update event by determining the second computing device of the second user connects to the network; in response to detecting the update event, automatically update the second user account with the modification to the library of digital assets; and send the portable media device associated with the second user account at least one update according to the predetermined update interval. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
