  • Patent number: 7367059
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for activating protected content on a portable memory device when the portable memory device is incorporated into a mobile terminal during the manufacture of the mobile terminal. During manufacturing, the portable memory device is coupled to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is powered on. An activation program resident on the mobile terminal is executed upon power on of the mobile terminal. The activation program imports a secure rights database of rights files from the portable memory device, activates an active rights database resident on the mobile terminal based on the imported secure rights database, and disables the secure rights database on the portable memory device to prevent subsequent unauthorized use of the portable memory device.

  • Patent number: 7149545
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for facilitating OTA activation of protected content pre-programmed on a memory device that is operable on mobile terminals. A removable memory device is provided for coupling to the mobile terminal, where the removable memory device is pre-programmed with secure content and a secure rights database of rights files. OTA activation is performed to activate the secure content stored on the removable memory device in response to an attempt to access the secure content. The removable memory device is altered to prohibit further access to the secure rights database after the database is imported to the mobile terminal. Access to the secure content is enabled as dictated by corresponding rights files when the OTA activation has successfully completed.
