Abstract

A system includes a digital rights management unit to identify a trigger associated with an owner of content and a media player to display the content on a device of a viewer upon instruction from the digital rights management unit.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

conditioned on a trigger associated with an owner of content, displaying said content on a device of a viewer.

2. The method according to claim 1 and wherein said displaying comprises checking trigger information against an owner identifier followed by decrypting said content with a viewer identifier.

3. The method according to claim 2 and wherein said identifiers are one of the following:

an associated telephone number, an encoded version of an associated telephone number, an international mobile subscriber identity number and an international mobile equipment identity number.

4. The method according to claim 1 and wherein said trigger is a call-related trigger.

5. The method according to claim 4 and wherein said trigger is one of the following triggers:

an incoming call from said owner, an outgoing call to said owner, a disconnect from a conversation with said owner, a busy/unavailable signal for said owner and a push signal from said owner.

6. The method according to claim 4 and wherein said displaying comprises:

retrieving owner information associated with a telephone number of a current call and a media clip associated with said owner;

checking at least said owner information against owner information in said media clip;

decrypting encrypted content in said media clip with a viewer identity if the result of said checking is positive; and

displaying said content.

7. The method according to claim 6 and comprising processing said owner identifier prior to said checking.

8. A method comprising:

encrypting content owned by an owner with a viewer identifier belonging to a viewer; and

adding a viewing condition to said encrypted content, said viewing condition being at least a function of an identifier of said owner.

9. The method according to claim 8 and wherein said identifiers are one of the following:

an associated telephone number, an encoded version of an associated telephone number, an international mobile subscriber identity number and an international mobile equipment identity number.

10. The method according to claim 8 and wherein said viewing condition is a call-related trigger.

11. The method according to claim 10 and wherein said trigger is one of the following triggers:

an incoming call from said owner, an outgoing call to said owner, a disconnect from a conversation with said owner, a busy/unavailable signal for said owner and a push signal from said owner.

12. A system comprising:

a digital rights management unit to identify a trigger associated with an owner of content; and

a media player to display said content on a device of a viewer upon instruction from said digital rights management unit.

13. The system according to claim 12 and wherein said digital rights management unit comprises means to check trigger information against an owner identifier followed by decrypting said content with a viewer identifier.

14. The system according to claim 13 and wherein said identifiers are one of the following:

an associated telephone number, an encoded version of an associated telephone number, an international mobile subscriber identity number and an international mobile equipment identity number.

15. The system according to claim 12 and wherein said trigger is a call-related trigger.

16. The system according to claim 15 and wherein said trigger is one of the following triggers:

an incoming call from said owner, an outgoing call to said owner, a disconnect from a conversation with said owner, a busy/unavailable signal for said owner and a push signal from said owner.

17. The system according to claim 15 and wherein said digital rights management unit comprises:

a data retriever to retrieve owner information associated with a telephone number of a current call and a media clip associated with said owner;

a checker to check at least said owner information against owner information in said media clip; and

a decrypter to decrypt encrypted content in said media clip with a viewer identity if the result of said checking is positive.

18. The system according to claim 17 and wherein said digital rights management unit comprises a unit to process said owner identifier prior to said checking.

19. A system comprising:

an encrypter to encrypt content owned by an owner with a viewer identifier belonging to a viewer; and

a digital rights management unit to add a viewing condition to said encrypted content, said viewing condition being at least a function of an identifier of said owner.

20. The system according to claim 19 and wherein said identifiers are one of the following:

an associated telephone number, an encoded version of an associated telephone number, an international mobile subscriber identity number and an international mobile equipment identity number.

21. The system according to claim 19 and wherein said viewing condition is a call-related trigger.

22. The system according to claim 21 and wherein said trigger is one of the following triggers:

an incoming call from said owner, an outgoing call to said owner, a disconnect from a conversation with said owner, a busy/unavailable signal for said owner and a push signal from said owner.
