Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a content distribution system enables user devices to access digital content through a variety of access elements, such as QR codes, URLs, App Clips, Data Matrix codes, and NFC tags, allowing flexible distribution of digital media without requiring a dedicated content access device. The system includes a content distribution server configured to receive check-out requests from user devices, provide metadata, and process open content commands containing identifiers of the digital content and the user. The server verifies user authorization and provides a license response to authorized devices, enabling content consumption based on licensing terms. The system can integrate with library systems to facilitate user registration and library membership applications remotely, and provides analytics for tracking user engagement and content utilization.

Abstract: Digital content distribution methods, systems and devices are provided. The digital content distribution utilizes a content distribution server for providing a user device access to digital content. In certain embodiments, the content distribution server: (a) receives a check-out request from a user device via a content access device; (b) provides metainfo to the user device via the content access device; (c) receives an open content command comprising an identifier of the digital content and an identifier for a user from the user device; (d) determines from the open content command whether the user device is authorized to view the digital content; and (e) provides a license response to the user device based on the user device being authorized to view the digital content, the license response comprising a license and the digital content.
