System, Method and Apparatus for Three-Dimensional Digital Design Content Rights Management

摘要

The present invention comprises a system and method for providing three-dimensional and maintaining digital design rights management. The invention comprises a first server computer configured to transmit, to user terminals, images associated with three-dimensional designs. The server receives at least one request, from at least one user terminal, to fabricate one or more three-dimensional objects from three-dimensional designs. A second server computer in communication with the first server computer, and located remotely from the first server computer is controlled by an entity that does not control the at least one first server computer. The second server computer is configured to store design specifications associated with three-dimensional designs and control a fabricating device in communication with the at least one second server computer. The fabricating device configured to fabricate at least one three-dimensional object based at least partially on at least one design specification without storing the design specifications.

主权项

1. A system for providing three-dimensional digital design rights management, comprising:
at least one first server computer configured to: transmit, to one or a plurality of user terminals, descriptive information associated with one or a plurality of three-dimensional designs; and receive at least one request, of at least one user terminal, to fabricate one or more three-dimensional designs from the one or a plurality of three-dimensional designs; at least one second server computer in communication with the at least one first server computer, the at least one second server computer located remotely from the at least one first server computer and controlled by a different than an entity that controls the at least one first server computer, the at least one second server computer configured to store design specifications associated with the one or a plurality of three-dimensional designs; and a device in communication with the at least one second server computer, the device configured to fabricate one or more three-dimensional objects based at least partly on one or more design specifications without permanently storing the design specifications.
