  • Patent number: 8904546
    Abstract: A DRM method and DRM-enabled portable device for controlling playback of DRM content on the basis of content usage log is disclosed. A digital rights management method for a portable device of the present invention includes playing a content item recording, when an abnormal playback stop event is detected, a stop time point in a playback session of the content item on a usage log and controlling a next playback of the content item with reference to the recorded stop time point. The DRM method and DRM-enabled portable device of the present invention further manages the licenses issued for the DRM content stored in the portable device by updating the licenses even when the DRM content are abnormally closed during its playback session.

  • Patent number: 8755840
    Abstract: A data execution control method and system for a mobile phone are provided. The execution method and system control the execution of user data stored in the mobile phone on the basis of access/execution authentication levels assigned to multiple Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs). The data execution control method includes receiving a key input requesting execution of a user data, reading subscriber information from the SIM, determining whether an execution password corresponding to the subscriber information among previously registered execution passwords and executing the user data if an execution password corresponding to the subscriber information.

  • Publication number: 20100095135
    Abstract: A method and system and a portable device are disclosed that can process forward-locked DRM contents in a portable device. The method includes receiving forward-locked Digital Rights Management (DRM) contents, encrypting the forward-locked DRM contents using a unique number of the portable device, and storing the encrypted forward-locked DRM contents. The encrypting process includes extracting the unique number, setting the unique number as an encrypting key, and encrypting the forward-locked DRM contents using the encrypting key. Therefore, although the portable device lacks the capacity of the internal storage medium thereof, it can store a large amount of contents in mobile storage media connectable thereto.

  • Publication number: 20080109364
    Abstract: A method for enhancing a Digital Rights Management (DRM) authority, a content having an enhanced DRM authority and a portable terminal using the same. Reproduction of divisional regions of the content is prevented when a corresponding count value is equal to a permitted maximum number of reproductions. The DRM authority includes: reproducing DRM content having a first division region to an nth division region, where n is a natural number; and changing a first count value to an nth count value according to reproduction of the DRM content, wherein the count value limits a number of reproduction times of the DRM content for the corresponding division region. A variety of parameters can be set for each individual region to change the count value.
