Systems and methods for enabling an automatic license for mashups
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for managing digital rights settings are provided. In some aspects, the systems and methods described include receiving user input including an order for obtaining access rights to a media asset. Control circuitry determines whether the media asset is associated with a first package of media assets. The control circuitry cross-references a database of user order history to determine whether the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets. If the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets, the control circuitry generates digital rights settings for each media asset in the first package of media assets to enable the user to create a mashup. The mashup includes portions of at least one media asset in the first package. The control circuitry generates a display based on the digital rights settings.
1. A method for managing digital rights settings, comprising:
receiving user input including an order for obtaining access rights to a media asset;
determining, using control circuitry, whether the media asset is associated with a first package of media assets and a second package of media assets;
cross-referencing a database of user order history to determine whether a user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets and for each media asset in the second package of media assets;
in response to determining that the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets and for each media asset in the second package of media assets, generating digital rights settings for creating a mashup including portions of at least one media asset in the first package of media assets and at least one media asset in the second package of media assets; and
receiving user input to create the mashup, wherein the mashup includes the portions of the at least one media asset in the first package of media assets and the at least one media asset in the second package of media assets.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each media asset comprises license metadata.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the digital rights settings for creating the mashup comprises updating the license metadata for each media asset.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital rights settings allow the user to transmit the mashup to a second user via at least one of a social network and an e-mail.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second user is required to view an advertisement before the mashup is accessed.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second user is required to obtain access rights for each media asset included in the mashup before the mashup is accessed.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating for display, using control circuitry, an offering for digital software for creating the mashup.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital rights settings for each media asset are generated based on one or more business rules.
9. A system for managing digital rights settings, comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
receive user input including an order for obtaining access rights to a media asset;
determine, whether the media asset is associated with a first package of media assets and a second package of media assets;
cross-reference a database of user order history to determine whether a user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets and for each media asset in the second package of media assets;
in response to the determination that the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets and for each media asset in the second package of media assets, generate digital rights settings for creating a mashup including portions of at least one media asset in the first package of media assets and at least one media asset in the second package of media assets; and
receive user input to create the mashup, wherein the mashup includes the portions of the at least one media asset in the first package of media assets and the at least one media asset in the second package of media assets.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein each media asset comprises license metadata.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein generating the digital rights settings for creating the mashup comprises an update of the license metadata for each media asset.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital rights settings allow the user to transmit the mashup to a second user via at least one of a social network and an e-mail.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second user is required to view an advertisement before the mashup is accessed.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second user is required to obtain access rights for each media asset included in the mashup before the mashup is accessed.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for display, an offering for digital software for creating the mashup.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital rights settings for each media asset are generated based on one or more business rules.
