METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING DIGITAL SHEETS
The claimed invention enables digital asset management that is responsive to a user's interactions with digital assets. Based on the user's interaction, the invention generates a ranking of the digital assets that is intended to reflect the value of the digital assets to the user. The ranking is based in part on the access frequency and recency, and the number and types of uses of the digital assets. An access hierarchy is derived from the ranking that stores the digital assets so that the higher ranked digital assets are more easily accessed than the lower ranked digital assets.
1 . A method for managing digital assets across a network, comprising the steps of:
providing at least one memory that is accessible to each of a plurality of devices associated with the network, wherein each of the at least one memory has an access time associated therewith;
monitoring interactions with the digital assets by a user through at least one of the plurality of devices, to track the extent of use and specific types of use of the digital assets by the user;
ranking the digital assets based on the monitored interactions; and
providing hierarchical storage of the ranked digital assets in the at least one memory based on the ranking step, wherein highly ranked digital assets are accessed in less time from the at least one memory than lower ranked digital assets.
