Methods, systems, and devices for securing content
Methods, systems, and devices secure content in memory. The content includes a lock that prohibits reading the content from memory. Prior to expiration of the lock the content cannot be read from memory. However, a preview option allows at least a portion of the content to be accessed. The preview option provides a preview of the content. At expiration, the content is readable.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device, content;
storing, by the device, the content in a memory device, the content locked from access by a lock until an expiration at a date and time;
generating, by the device, a prompt to preview the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
providing, by the device, for display, the prompt for the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
receiving, by the device, a request for the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
generating, by the device, the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock in response to the request; and
releasing, by the device, the content at the expiration of the lock at the date and time.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising processing a payment associated with the preview of the content.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising scheduling a prompt associated with the preview.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reading the content from the memory device.
5. A system, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving content locked from access by a lock until an expiration at a date and time;
generating a prompt to preview the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
providing for display the prompt for the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
receiving a selection that requests the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
accessing the content prior to the expiration of the lock to generate the preview; and
releasing the content at the expiration of the lock at the date and time.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise reading the content from the memory device.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise generating the prompt associated with the preview.
8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise scheduling the prompt associated with the preview.
9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise the unlocking the lock at the date and time of the expiration.
10. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise processing a payment for the preview.
11. A memory device storing instructions which when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving content locked from access by a lock until an expiration at a date and time;
generating a prompt to preview the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
providing for display the prompt for the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
receiving a selection that requests the preview of the content prior to the expiration of the lock at the date and time;
accessing the content prior to the expiration of the lock to generate the preview; and
releasing the content at the expiration of the lock at the date and time.
12. The memory of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise processing a payment associated with the preview.
13. The memory of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise scheduling the prompt associated with the preview.
14. The memory of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise determining the expiration of the lock at the date and time.
