Abstract

A method for accessing media content may include converting an artistic item on a hard-copy media implementation to a digital media file. The method may also include receiving a first request to access the digital media file from a client device. The method may include determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access. The method may include approving the first request by providing a presentation of the digital media file to the client device. The method may further include receiving a second request from the client device to add one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file. The method may include adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file.

Claims

1. A method for accessing media content, the method comprising:

converting an artistic item on a hard-copy media implementation to a digital media file;

receiving a first request to access the digital media file from a client device;

determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access;

approving the first request by providing a presentation of the digital media file to the client device;

receiving, from the client device, a second request to add one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file; and

adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a third request to upgrade the digital media file;

receiving a payment for the upgrade of the digital media file; and

upgrading the digital media file responsive to receiving the payment.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a payment for the one or more features, wherein the one or more features are added to the presentation of the digital media file responsive to receiving the payment.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file comprises:

adding a subtitle to the presentation of the digital media file.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file comprises:

translating a first language associated with the digital media file to a second language.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the digital media file is configured to be accessed by a maximum number of users at a time.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the maximum number of users is one.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access comprises:

determining that an access right of the digital media file has been granted to a user associated with the client device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access comprises:

determining that the client device is associated with an owner of the digital media file; and

determining that a total number of users granted with the access right of the digital media file is less than a maximum number of users.

10. A computer-readable storage medium including instructions that cause a system to perform operations to access media content, the operations comprising:

converting an artistic item on a hard-copy media implementation to a digital media file;

receiving a first request to access the digital media file from a client device;

determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access;

approving the first request by providing a presentation of the digital media file to the client device;

receiving, from the client device, a second request to add one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file; and

adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a third request to upgrade the digital media file;

receiving a payment for the upgrade of the digital media file; and

upgrading the digital media file responsive to receiving the payment.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a payment for the one or more features, wherein the one or more features are added to the presentation of the digital media file responsive to receiving the payment.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file comprises:

adding a subtitle to the presentation of the digital media file.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein adding the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file comprises:

translating a first language associated with the digital media file to a second language.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the digital media file is configured to be accessed by a maximum number of users at a time.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the maximum number of users is one.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access comprises:

determining that an access right of the digital media file has been granted to a user associated with the client device.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein determining that the digital media file is available for the client device to access comprises:

determining that the client device is associated with an owner of the digital media file; and

determining that a total number of users granted with the access right of the digital media file is less than a maximum number of users.

19. A system for accessing media content, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to;

convert an artistic item on a hard-copy media implementation to a digital media file;

receive a first request to access the digital media file from a client device;

determine that the digital media file is available for the client device to access;

approve the first request by providing a presentation of the digital media file to the client device;

receive, from the client device, a second request to add one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file; and

add the one or more features to the presentation of the digital media file.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the instructions when executed cause the system to also:

receive a third request to upgrade the digital media file;

receive a payment for the upgrade of the digital media file; and

upgrade the digital media file responsive to receiving the payment.
