Apparatuses and methods for content protection using Digital Rights Management (DRM) in WebView or WebKit

摘要

An electronic device is provided with a DRM agent, a plug-in, and a web browser. The DRM agent processes DRM-protected content associated with an electronic file or a web page. The plug-in enables access of the electronic file. The web browser comprises a WebView SDK installed with the DRM agent or a WebKit engine installed with the DRM agent. The WebView SDK activates the processing of the DRM-protected content of the DRM agent to obtain the web page portion-by-portion, and displays the web page with the obtained portions. The WebKit engine activates the processing of the DRM-protected content of the DRM agent to obtain the electronic file or web page portion-by-portion, and uses the plug-in or a native media player to access the electronic file with the obtained portions, or displays the web page with the obtained portions.
