发明名称 TOKEN BASED DIGITAL CONTENT LICENSING METHOD
摘要 A method and apparatus for weighted leveling license unit based digital content access control are disclosed. Weighted leveling license unit based digital content access control may include enabling access to a first digital content object by a first user device associated with a first unique user identifier, receiving a request for access to a second digital content object, wherein the request indicates the first unique user identifier, identifying a weighted leveling licensing weight, and, on a condition that a product of the weighted leveling licensing weight and a sum of an assigned unit count for the first digital content object and an assigned unit count for the second digital content object is within a cardinality of a plurality of available license units, enabling access to the second digital content object by the first user device.

主权项 1. A method comprising: receiving, from a first user device, at a server, a first request for access to a first digital content object, wherein the first request indicates a first unique user identifier associated with a plurality of available license units; identifying a first assigned unit count for the first digital content object; on a condition that the first assigned unit count is within a cardinality of the plurality of available license units, enabling access to the first digital content object by the first user device, receiving, from the first user device, at the server, a second request for access to a second digital content object, wherein the second request indicates the first unique user identifier; and performing weighted leveling license unit based digital content access control in response to receiving the second request, wherein weighted leveling license unit based digital content access control includes: identifying a second assigned unit count for the second digital content object;identifying a weighted leveling licensing weight;on a condition that a product of the weighted leveling licensing weight and a sum of the first assigned unit count and the second assigned unit count is within the cardinality of the plurality of available license units, enabling access to the second digital content object by the first user device; andon a condition that the product of the weighted leveling licensing weight and the sum of the first assigned unit count and the second assigned unit count exceeds the cardinality of the plurality of available license units, preventing access to the second digital content object by the first user device.
