MANAGEMENT-ENABLED MOBILE DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention:
[0001] The present invention relates to a digital rights management (DRM). More
particularly, the present invention relates to a DRM method and DRM-enabled mobile
device.
Description of the Related Art:
[0002] Mobile commerce (M-commerce) is becoming increasingly important as the
number of mobile users grows rapidly worldwide, and the mobile networks and services
expand to countrywide and worldwide coverage. M-commerce is simply a way to conduct
electronic commerce using mobile devices. M-commerce usually involves multiple
independent business entities as instant mobile operators, service providers, enabling
technology providers, and mobile users. Coordination and interoperability has become a
great concern in such a business setting. Moreover, the success of M-commerce is also
dependent upon the mutual trust among these entities. For example, when intellectual
property is a concern of a business, privacy and trust become requirements of the business.
Furthermore, other business components, such as payment and security also play important
roles in M-commerce.
[0003] Media distribution services, including video conferencing, video-on-demand,
and online music distribution are major mobile businesses. Digital Rights Management
(DRM) is required in media distribution services to protect the intellectual property of the
distributed digital media. DRM technology includes rights insertion, rights enforcement,
license management, license (or media) sharing and the like. Rights insertion and rights
enforcement are responsible for basic DRM operations. License management is to manage
the usage and access rights of purchased media. License (or media) sharing that involves
processes of transferring rights and issuing authorization is a demanding feature in media
distribution services. Payment is highly related to DRM operations, as usage and access
rights are mainly due to the purchasing agreements and terms.

[0004] Rights-protected contents can be copied from a personal computer or
exchanged between mobile devices using infrared technology based on Infrared Data
Association (IrDA) or Bluetooth technology, or using an external memory and hard disk.
Even though the rights-protected contents are copied from another device and media, the user
should obtain a license to play the contents.
[0005] However, the conventional DRM method does not give an unlicensed user a
chance to pre-experience a copied content, even though the unlicensed user may be an
expected buyer.
[0006] The conventional DRM method also has a shortcoming in that an unlicensed
user should buy a multimedia content without being able to verify whether the multimedia
content is content that is expected, resulting in a risk of unwanted payment, and leading to a
negative experience of the right protected contents.
[0007] Accordingly, there is a need for an improved digital rights management
method and digital rights management-enabled mobile device that allows verification of
multimedia content.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] An aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is to address at

functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
[0019] In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a rights-protected media
file is provided with a protection free playback part such that an unlicensed user can preview
content of the rights-protected media file.
[0020] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention is described for a DRM-
enabled mobile device as an example, but can be applied to other devices such as personal
digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, MP3 Players, laptop computers, personal computers,
digital cameras, cellular phones, personal communication service (PCS) phones, dedicated
digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) receivers, International Mobile Telecommunication
2000 (IMT-2000) terminals, Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS)
terminals, and the like.
[0021] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a DRM-enabled
mobile device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, the DRM-enabled mobile device includes a control unit
101, a radio frequency (RF) unit 103, a data processing unit 105, an audio processing unit
107, a keypad unit 109, a memory unit 111, a camera unit 113, a video processing unit 115, a
display unit 117, and a contents processing unit 119.
[0023] The RF unit 103 comprises a radio frequency transmitter and a radio
frequency receiver, both of which are coupled to an antenna used for transmitting and
receiving radio signals through an air channel. The RF unit 103 is coupled to the data

processing unit 105, which processes digital signals into a form that can be transmitted by the
transmitter of RF unit 103 or processes baseband signals received and modulated by the
receiver of the RF unit 103 into digital form for other units of the mobile device.
[0024] The data processing unit 105 is further coupled to the control unit 101, which
controls operation of the mobile device in accordance with instructions stored in the memory
unit 111. The data processing unit 105 handles all audio, signal and data processing needed
to receive and send data using RF transmission or Bluetooth transmissions. The data
processing unit 105 also includes a means for encoding and modulating a signal to be
transmitted through the RF unit 103 and a means for demodulating and decoding a signal
received through the RF unit 103. In addition, the data processing unit 150 is provided with a
codec pack for supporting encoding and decoding of the video and audio data.
[0025] The audio processing unit 107 converts analog audio signals received at a
microphone into digital signals and converts digital audio signals received from the data
processing unit 105 into analog audio signals to be played over a speaker.
[0026] The keypad unit 109 includes a plurality of alphanumeric keys for enabling a
user to input alphanumeric characters and various function keys enabling the user to input
commands for operating corresponding functions.
[0027] The memory unit 111 includes a program memory and a data memory. The
program memory stores programs for controlling general operations of the mobile device and
application programs for handling a camera function, sound playback function, and image
and motion picture playback function of the mobile device.
[0028] The data memory temporarily stores data generated during the operations of
the programs and a database for arranging the data in the form of a table. The data memory
also stores media files transferred from an external memory and hard disk, and downloaded
from a contents server and a web server.
[0029] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described with media
files obtained from an external source with respect to the DRM-enabled mobile device, in
order to clarify the features of the invention.
[0030] The camera unit 113 takes a picture and converts the picture of analog signals
into video signals in interoperation with an encoder (not shown). The video processing unit
115 converts video signals from the camera into image signals such that the image signals are
processed to be appropriate for the display unit 117. The camera unit 113 includes a camera

sensor for sensing an image on the lens and converting the optical image signal into an
electric signal and a signal processor for converting the analog signal output from the camera
sensor into a digital signal. The camera is implemented with a charge coupled device (CCD)
or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, and the signal processor is a
digital signal processor (DSP). The camera sensor and the signal processor can be integrated
as a single module.
[0031] The video processing unit 115 processes the application data image and menu
screen image to be suitable for the display unit 117 and then transmits the processed images
to the display unit 117 under the control of the control unit 101.
[0032] The video processing unit 115 is provided with a function for
compression/decompression of the video data and at least one video codec. The video codec
includes a JPEG codec, a MPEG4 codec, Wavelet codec, and the like.
[0033] The display unit 117 presents the video data output from the video processing
unit 115. The display unit 117 can be implemented with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and
a touchscreen function. When an LCD supporting the touchscreen function is implemented,
the display unit 117 can operate as an input means.
[0034] The contents processing unit 119 is responsible for operations related to
playback of the contents (media files) according to a user's request. The contents processing
unit 119 determines whether the media file requested to be played is a rights-protected media
file. In the case of a rights-protected media file, the contents processing unit 119 extracts
information on a sample playback part of the rights-protected media file and then plays back
the sample playback part. That is, the contents processing unit 119 processes the rights-
protected media file to be played using only the sample playback part when a playback
attempt is performed by an unlicensed user.
[0035] The header of the rights-protected media file is specified as in Tables 1 and 2.
[0036] The control unit 101 controls the signal exchanges between the elements
constituting the mobile device. The data processing unit 105 and the contents processing unit
119 can be incorporated into the control unit 101.
[0037] The control unit 101 also controls interoperability and coordination among the
data processing unit 105, the keypad unit 109, the memory unit 111, the camera unit 113, the
video processing unit 115, and the contents processing unit 119.

[0038] The control unit 101 determines whether a playback attempt to the rights-
protected media file is performed by a licensed user and replays the rights-protected media
file at using only the sample playback part, if the playback attempt is performed by an
unlicensed user.
[0039] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a DRM method according to an exemplary
embodiment of the present invention.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 2, while in a waiting state (S201), the DRM-enabled mobile
device determines whether a playback request is input for a media file (S203).
[0041] If a playback request is input, the DRM-enabled mobile device analyzes the
playback requested media file (S205) and determines whether the playback requested media
file is a rights-protected media file (S207). The rights-protected media file can be
distinguished by a media file format shown in Table 1.
[0042]

[0043] As shown in Table 1, the rights-protected media file format includes a file
header and a data region. The file header preferably includes a version field, a
ContentURILen field, a ContentTypeLen field, ContentURI field, a ContentType field, a
HeadersLen field, a DataLen field, and a headers field. If the playback requested media file
has a file format of Table 1, the DRM-enabled mobile device determines that the playback
requested media file is a rights-protected media file.
[0044] If the playback requested media file is not a rights-protected media file, the
DRM-enabled mobile device starts playback of the whole length of the media file (S209).

[0045] If it is determined that the playback requested media file is a rights-protected
media file, the DRM-enabled mobile device obtains a sample playback part of the rights-
protected media file (S211) and starts replaying the sample playback part of the rights-
protected media file (S213).
[0046] While replaying the sample playback part, the DRM-enabled mobile device
monitors for a playback end point of the sample playback part (S215).
[0047] When the playback end point of the sample playback part is detected, the
DRM-enabled mobile device terminates replaying the sample playback part (S217).
[0048] The processes from step S211 to step S217 can be performed with reference to
the headers field of the file format of Table 1. The header field includes metadata containing
additional information on the media file, especially on the sample playback part of the rights-
protected media file.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the header field is
specified as shown in Table 2.
[0050]


[0051] The DRM-enabled mobile device refers to information of the header field
shown in Table 2 and replays the sample playback part according to the information of the
header field.
[0052] After terminating replaying the sample playback part, the DRM-enabled
mobile device displays order types for purchasing a license on the rights-protected media file
together with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web server at which a user obtains a
license for the rights-protected media file (S219).
[0053] While displaying the license order types, the DRM-enabled mobile device
determines whether a key input is performed for purchasing the license (S221).
[0054] If a key input is performed for purchasing the license, the DRM-enabled
mobile device performs an operation for purchasing the license (S223).
[0055] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of replaying a sample playback
part of the rights-protected media file in the DRM method of FIG. 2.
[0056] In FIG. 3 the procedure of replaying the sample playback part of the rights-
protected media file is performed with reference to Table 2 and it is assumed that the
playback requested media file is a rights-protected media file.
[0057] Referring to FIG. 3, if it is determined that the playback requested media file
is a rights-protected media file, the DRM-enabled mobile device checks information
contained in the header of the media file (S301) and determines whether the user has a license
for the media file on the basis of the information (S303).
[0058] Through steps S301 and S303, if a playback request input is detected, the
DRM-enabled mobile device can determine whether the user has a license to replay the media
file with reference to the information contained in the header of the media file, shown in
Table 1. The ContentURI field in Table 1, which is a unique identifier of the rights-protected
media file, is the information with which the DRM-enabled mobile device can determine
whether the user has the license for the rights-protected media file.
[0059] If it is determined that the user has the license for the rights-protected media
file, the DRM-enabled mobile device starts replaying the rights-protected media file (S305).
[0060] If it is determined that the user does not have the license for the rights-
protected media file, the DRM-enabled mobile device determines whether the rights-
protected media file has a sample playback part (S3 07).

[0061] The DRM-enabled mobile device can determine whether a sample playback
part exists by referring to a value of the SamplePlayEnable field shown in Table 2. The
SamplePlayEnable field includes information on the existence of the sample playback part
and whether to allow replaying the sample playback part.
[0062] Accordingly, the DRM-enabled mobile device can determine whether the
sample playback part exists in the rights-protected media file on the basis of the
SamplePlayEnable field.
[0063] If it is determined that the sample playback part does not exist or replaying the
sample playback part is refused, the DRM-enabled mobile device terminates the procedure
for replaying the sample playback part.
[0064] If the sample playback part exists and the playback of the sample playback
part is allowed, the DRM-enabled mobile device extracts information on the start time (S309)
and on the end time (S311) of the sample playback part from the StartTimeLen n field and
the EndTimeLen n field in Table 2, respectively.
[0065] The StartTimeLen n field and the EndTimeLen n field can be created
corresponding to the TimeNum n field, which indicates the quantity of the sample playback
parts of the rights-protected media file.
[0066] For example, if there are two sample playback parts, the TimeNum n field is
set as TimeNum 2 such that the StartTimeLen n field contains start time information on the
first and second sample playback parts and the EndTimeLen n field contains end time
information of the first and second sample playback parts.
[0067] That is, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of
sample playback parts can be set for a single rights-protected media file.
[0068] Once the information on the start and end times of the sample playback part of
the rights-protected media file is extracted, the DRM-enabled mobile device replays the
sample playback part on the basis of the extracted information (S313).
[0069] That is, the DRM-enabled mobile device starts replaying the sample playback
part of the rights-protected media file at the start time and ends replaying the sample
playback part of the rights-protected media file at the end time.
[0070] After ending the playback of the sample playback part, the DRM-enabled
mobile device determines whether another sample playback part exists (S315). In order to
determine the quantity of the sample playback parts, the DRM-enabled mobile device refers

to the TimeNum n field of Table 2. If more than one sample playback parts exist, the DRM-
enabled mobile device replays the sample playback parts in a sequential order.
[0071] If it is determined that another sample playback part does not exist, the DRM-
enabled mobile device ends the procedure of replaying the sample playback part (S317).
[0072] As described above, the DRM method and DRM-enabled mobile device of the
exemplary embodiments of the present invention allow an unlicensed user to replay a sample
playback part of a rights-protected media file, whereby it is possible to improve user
convenience and stimulate purchase desire of users.
[0073] Also, since the DRM method and DRM-enabled mobile device of the
exemplary embodiments of the present invention allow a user to experience sample content
of a rights-protected media file, the user can verify whether the media file is that desired.
[0074] Further, due to the improvement of user convenience through sampling the
rights-protected contents, the DRM method and DRM-enabled mobile device of the
exemplary embodiments of the present invention have an effect of decreasing illegal copying
and increasing distribution of the rights-protected contents.
[0075] The present invention can also be embodied as computer-readable codes on a
computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium is any data
storage device that can store data which can thereafter be read by a computer system.
Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include, but are not limited to, read-
only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), CD-ROMs, magnetic tapes, floppy
disks, optical data storage devices, and carrier waves (such as data transmission through the
Internet via wired or wireless transmission paths). The computer-readable recording medium
can also be distributed over network-coupled computer systems so that the computer-readable
code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion. Also, function programs, codes, and
code segments for accomplishing the present invention can be easily construed as within the
scope of the invention by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention
pertains
[0076] While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain
exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood that various changes in form and
details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present
invention as defined by the appended claims.
