A COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM TO ENABLE OUT OF BAND TRACKING FOR DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system to enable out of band tracking for digital distribution are disclosed. The method and system include storing an ancillary data block related to a unit of digital data to be distributed, the ancillary data block being stored separately from the unit of digital data to be distributed, obtaining out of band data associated with the unit of digital data to be distributed, injecting into the out of band data information indicative of the ancillary data block to produce modified out of band data, and delivering the unit of digital data to be distributed with the modified out of band data.
