DIGITAL MEDIA REVIEW AND PLAY SYSTEM

摘要

A media control system allows the play of media files from customers or users in a public establishment. A digital content review arrangement communicates with a control gate that forwards to the digital content review arrangement requested media files or summary information of the media files sufficient to identify the requested media files with known media files contained in a database of the digital content review arrangement or available thereto. The control gate includes an input for communicating with personal portable digital content devices of customer and/or users and receives therefrom requested media files to be played on a media play system of said public establishment. The control gate forwards the requested media files received from said personal portable digital content devices to said digital content review arrangement for identification. The control gate also provides to the media play system any of the requested media files that have been identified by said digital content review arrangement. The digital content review arrangement preferably tracks the play of identified media files on the media play system. This control system is appropriate for various media files including audit files, video files and game files.
