Systems and methods providing a separable digital rights management application

摘要

Systems and methods providing content having digital rights management (DRM) applications separable from other authorization applications are provided. A system may include a distribution service provider system in communication with a content provider system and consumer premise equipment (CPE) for the transmission of content from the content provider system to the CPE device. The distribution service provider system may: receive A/V content provided by the content provider system, wherein the A/V content includes a DRM application; apply a conditional access system (CAS) application to the A/V content that is independent of the DRM application; and transmit the A/V content including the CAS and the DRM applications to the CPE for presentation. The CPE device can perform DRM authorizations with the content provider or a third-party DRM provider.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a service provider system comprising one or more processors, an audio and/or video (A/V) content from a content provider system, wherein the A/V content includes a first digital rights management (DRM) application and a first content access system (CAS) application; removing, by the service provider system, the first DRM application from the A/V content; removing, by the service provider system, the first CAS application; manipulating, by the service provider system, the A/V content; encapsulating, by the service provider system, the A/V content with a second content access system (CAS) application after manipulating the A/V content;encapsulating, by the service provider system, a second digital rights management (DRM) application;
transmitting, by the service provider system, the A/V content encapsulated with the second DRM application to a consumer premise equipment (CPE); and performing, by the service provider system, CAS authorization with the CPE to authorize the A/V content according to the second CAS application independent of the second DRM application, wherein additional DRM authentication is to be performed by the CPE according to the second DRM application.
