Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, over a network at a computing device, a request from a first user for content-embedding code that describes a digital content object on a first webpage;
determining, by a computing device, a user identifier for the first user;
adding, by the computing device, the user identifier to a distribution chain associated with the digital content object, the distribution chain comprising one or more content embedding entities that use the digital content object in order to receive a benefit resulting from the use of the digital content object;
generating, by the computing device, the content-embedding code comprising machine-readable instructions;
accessing, by the computing device executing said machine-readable instructions comprised within the content-embedded code, the digital content object;
rendering, by the computing device based on said accessing, the digital content object and a distribution hyperlink associated with the digital content object on a second web page, said rendering comprising activating the distribution hyperlink which provides additional control to the second web page by enabling subsequent users to distribute the digital content object and the associated distribution hyperlink for display on other web pages; and
transmitting, by the computing device over the network, the content-embedding code to the first user.

21. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly storing thereon computer-executable instructions, said computer-executable instructions comprising; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in receiving, over a network at the computing device, a request from a first user for content-embedding code that describes a digital content object on a first webpage; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in determining, by a computing device, a user identifier for the first user; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in adding, by the computing device, the user identifier to a distribution chain associated with the digital content object, the distribution chain comprising one or more content embedding entities that use the digital content object in order to receive a benefit resulting from the use of the digital content object; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in generating, by the computing device, the content-embedding code comprising machine-readable instructions; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in accessing, by the computing device executing said machine-readable instructions comprised within the content-embedded code, the digital content object; computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in rendering, by the computing device based on said accessing, the digital content object and a distribution hyperlink associated with the digital content object on a second web page, said rendering comprising activating the distribution hyperlink which provides additional control to the second web page by enabling subsequent users to distribute the digital content object and the associated distribution hyperlink for display on other web pages; and computer-executable instructions executed by the processor resulting in transmitting, by the computing device over the network, the content-embedding code to the first user.
