Abstract

描述了用于控制在可移动媒体上分发的数字内容的使用和复制的系统和方法。根据本发明的实施例，通过允许制作数字内容的特定数量的受保护(例如加密)副本来保护数字内容(202，203)。这些副本通常只可用于经授权的装置并在它们之间移动(204，205，206)。在一个实施例中，若需副本，则在包含内容的存储媒体(例如CD)插入计算机时，制作受保护数字内容的最大数量的可允许副本并存储在计算机的硬盘驱动器中(201，202，203)。然后，各副本可移动而不是复制到其它装置(例如便携式固态装置)(204，205，206)。在备选实施例中，包含数字内容的存储媒体是可写的(例如CD-R)。当存储媒体插入计算机时，计算机把信息写入存储媒体，该信息管理以后对存储媒体上数字内容的复制和播放(404)。

Description

用于控制在可移动媒体上分发的数字 内容的使用和复制的方法
本申请要求2001年11月15日提交的题为“用于控制在可移动媒体上分发的数字内容的使用和复制的系统和方法”的美国临时申请No.60/335112的权益，通过引用将该临时申请结合于本文中。
发明领域
本发明一般针对控制在可移动媒体上分发的数字内容的使用和复制。
背景
近年来，与低成本便携式音频装置的引入相结合的数字音频压缩技术的发展已经允许消费者在忙于几乎任何活动的同时，把要欣赏的整个优质音乐库、毫不夸张地说是在他们的口袋中带到几乎任何地方。这些便携式装置一般采用固态存储器或微型计算机硬盘驱动器来保存数百或数千兆字节的压缩音频。为了把音乐从传统媒体(例如包含“红皮书”音频的Compact DiscTM)移到便携式装置，消费者一般利用计算机软件“转录(rip)”CD并利用诸如活动图像专家组(MPEG)音频层3(通常称作MP3)之类的算法来创建包含压缩音频的文件。这些文件然后可被复制到便携式装置上。
音频压缩技术中的这种变革的一种令人遗憾的副作用是通过因特网上的文件交换而大大增加了侵犯版权和盗版的行为。虽然经由盒式录音带及其它物理媒体与朋友和熟人分享音乐已经持续了若干年，但与任何数量的文件交换软件程序之一相结合的优质音频压缩技术现在可允许单个消费者购买一份曲集并且几乎立即将它与世界各地数以千计的其他人分享。虽然在熟人之间对音乐的某种分享可有助于宣传新曲集或音乐活动而获得增加的销量，但实际上无限制的分享会严重地削减销量。
已经提出许多可能的解决方案来抵制侵犯版权和无限制复制。这些解决方案中的许多包括数字版权管理(DRM)方案，它实际上管理对数字内容的每次使用。但是，在其目前的形式上，这些解决方案可能难以且不便于使用。其它解决方案只采用“防转录”技术来防止CD的“红皮书”音频被计算机读取(从而防止CD被转录)，但仍然允许它由家庭立体声设备来读取。但是，这阻止了消费者制作只在消费者的便携式装置上使用的个人使用副本。
获得如下解决方案将是有用的，它在为消费者保留使用的灵活性和简易性的同时，防止或减少导致侵犯版权的无限制文件交换。
概述
本发明提供用于控制数字内容的使用的装置、系统和方法，使得例如从内容进行复制的次数可受到控制或限制，而不会在很大程度上约束消费者使用和欣赏内容的能力。这可通过例如在媒体上存储数字内容的受保护副本以及计算机系统不可读的数字内容的副本来实现。
在本发明的一个可行实施例中，可移动媒体是CD，其中包含已经通过防转录技术来保护的标准“红皮书”音轨(即具有这些音轨的CD部分无法被计算机的CD驱动器或计算机的DVD驱动器所读取，但能够由例如立体声系统来读取)以及CD的计算机可读部分。CD的计算机可读部分包含压缩格式的相同音轨的受保护形式。用于播放、使用或制作这些压缩音轨的副本的软件也可在CD上提供。所述CD可象传统CD一样用于立体声设备中或者可用于计算机中，为消费者提供对数字内容的有限次数的复制，以便在便携式装置或其它计算机中使用。
当可移动媒体放置到消费者的计算机系统中时，软件可允许消费者播放或者直接使用该内容，以及允许消费者制作有限数量的副本，这些副本可传送到便携式装置或者传送到另一台计算机。可制作的副本的数量可由许多因素中的一个或多个来限制，这些因素包括例如计算机上当前副本的数量、曾经制作的副本数量或者先前在另一台计算机上是否制作过副本。这些副本在被制作时都保存在计算机中，然后可被传送到便携式装置或者另一台计算机，或者它们可以仅通过软件来播放，而不需要可移动媒体在计算机中。
在本发明的另一个可行实施例中，可移动媒体是其中包含受保护“红皮书”音频、相同音频的受保护压缩形式以及用于存取压缩音频的软件的可写CD、例如CD-R或CD-RW。CD可象传统CD一样用于立体声设备中或者可用于计算机中，为消费者提供对数字内容的有限次数的复制，以便在便携式装置或其它计算机中使用。软件则可把关于所制作的副本或制作副本时的环境的信息写入CD。
下面更详细地描述这些实施例及其变更以及其它可行实施例。

图4说明本发明的一个实施例的一个方面的流程图。
详细描述
根据本发明的示例实施例，一种媒体、尤其是诸如CD之类的可移动存储媒体在其中存储数字音乐文件，这些音乐文件经过加密或受到保护，防止以其它某种方式非法存取。数字文件可包含例如音频音乐，音频音乐已经利用众所周知的音频压缩算法、如Sony的ATRACTM、MP3、Microsoft WindoWs 的Media AudioTM(WMA)进行压缩，但音频也可以是“常规”CD保真度的。CD也可包含用于对数字文件进行解密和播放的软件。另外，CD可包含标准“红皮书”音频，该音频已经利用例如Macrovision Inc.的SafeAudioTM或其它某种“防转录”技术进行保护，从而防止利用计算机来复制该CD。这允许典型的家庭或汽车立体声设备直接从CD几乎或根本不损失保真度地播放“红皮书”音频，而没有损害本发明的安全性和控制特征。可移动存储媒体不限于CD，而是还可包括MiniDiscTM、数字视盘(DVD)以及其它形式的可移动存储媒体。数字内容不限于音乐，而是还可包括其它内容，诸如音频、视频或多媒体。
例如，如图1所示，本发明的一个实施例可包括存储媒体101，其中包含计算机上不可读的受保护“红皮书”音频以及计算机可读的加密数字音频文件(以及可能还有使用加密音频文件所需的“播放器”软件)。存储媒体101可在可与便携式装置103通信的计算机102中使用。计算机102中可能已经有播放器软件，或者可从存储媒体进行安装。播放器软件可用来把加密数字音频文件的副本传送到便携式装置103，下面会进一步描述。
在本发明的一个示例实施例中，通过制作数字内容的有限数量的受保护副本，把副本存储在计算机中，以及允许把这些副本移动到其它装置上而不再制作其它副本，实现对可移动存储媒体上数字内容的复制的控制。在此实施例中(如图1和图2的简要说明)，当存储媒体被插入或连接到计算机时，CD上的播放器软件自动运行(步骤201)。播放器软件自行安装到计算机上，然后它们可制作CD上数字文件的预定数量(例如4份)的副本(步骤202)，并将其存储在计算机上(例如在硬盘驱动器上)(步骤203)。每份数字文件经过加密，并且仅可通过播放器软件或另一种授权软件来解密和播放。播放器软件也可用来把数字文件移动(不是复制)到其它装置。数字文件的所有复制和移动可采用安全认证通道(SAC)来执行。例如，如图2所示，用户可把便携式装置连接到计算机，并请求将数字文件传送到该装置(步骤204)。播放器软件可联络便携式装置，并核实该装置经过授权可接收该数字内容(步骤205)。例如，播放器软件可核实该装置具有某种内容保护和/或防篡改功能，使得该内容存储在装置中时不易受到未经授权的存取。播放器软件还可利用例如唯一认证ID号或类似方法来执行身份认证例程，以便确保便携式装置不是“冒名顶替者”。一旦装置经过认证，播放器软件则把所请求的数字文件的副本之一及其使用所需的信息(例如其解密密钥)传送给便携式装置(步骤206)。在传送数字文件副本之后或者同时，播放器软件从计算机的硬盘驱动器中删除该副本(步骤107)；这样，该数字文件被“移动”到便携式装置，并且没有创建任何额外的副本。
副本向其它装置的移动也可受到控制。例如，播放器软件可以经过配置，使得数字文件的副本只能移动到经认证的便携式装置。或者，播放器软件可配置成允许副本移动到任何经认证的装置中，包括配备了经认证的播放器软件的其它计算机，从而允许某种有限的文件交换。播放器软件也可配置成允许利用例如类似于连续复制管理系统(SCMS)的控制使副本仅被移动一次(例如，当副本被移动到另一个装置时，以某种方式标记该副本，使得副本移动到的装置不允许它再次被移动)。
作为补充或替代，播放器软件所制作的文件副本也可包括可用来跟踪未经授权副本或者其加密或保护被损坏的副本的附加信息。例如，各副本可包括唯一标识最初制作副本的计算机的信息。或者，唯一标识号可在存储媒体中经过编码，然后再传送给数字文件的各个副本。这样，各副本将包含唯一标识最初从其中制作副本的特定存储媒体的信息。这个标识信息可通过各种方式存储在这些副本中。例如，用于各文件的解密密钥可基于标识信息，使得标识信息以后可根据需要从密钥中提取。
当存储媒体放置在计算机中时所制作的数字文件的副本数量可以通过若干方式来确定。例如，播放器软件可以配置成每当CD被插入计算机时，对CD上的每个数字文件制作特定数量的副本(例如4份)。或者，例如，播放器软件可配置成设置可以制作的副本的最大数量或缺省数量，而用户可能因计算机上可用存储空间的有限量而选择制作较少数量的副本。要制作的副本数量也可根据存储媒体来改变。例如，可利用指定播放器软件可制作的副本数量的信息对各CD进行编码。
在此示例实施例中，如图3所示，当存储媒体被插入计算机时(步骤301)，播放器软件也可根据例如计算机中对存储媒体以前的使用来确定在计算机上是否已经存在数字文件的副本(步骤302)。如果副本不存在，则播放器软件将制作预定数量的副本(步骤303)。如果已经存在副本，则播放器软件不制作额外的副本(步骤304)。或者，播放器软件可以配置成采用相同的文件名，并在每次制作副本时将其放置在相同位置。这样，播放器软件不需要检查现有副本，但如果存在任何副本，则它们只是被新副本所盖写。
播放器软件也可经过配置，使得它能够不制作任何副本而直接从存储媒体播放数字文件。这样，如果用户不希望制作任何副本或者如果已经从存储媒体制作了最大数量的副本，则存储媒体仍然可用来播放音频，只要这时存储媒体在计算机中。
在一个备选实施例中，通过在第一次使用存储媒体时把信息写入该存储媒体，并利用该信息来确定以后对数字内容的使用(例如复制、移动、播放、查看)，可实现对可移动存储媒体上数字内容的复制的控制。在此实施例中，可移动存储媒体可包括例如可写媒体、如CD-R或“迷你盘(MiniDisc)”。在此实施例中，如图4所示，例如，当CD被放入计算机时，CD上的播放器软件自动运行，并在计算机上自行安装(步骤401)。然后，播放器软件可制作CD上的数字文件的副本，并将其存储到计算机中(例如在硬盘驱动器中)(步骤402和403)。在制作副本的同时，播放器软件把信息写入CD(步骤404)。下一次运行播放器软件时(例如下一次把存储媒体放入计算机时)，播放器软件可从CD读取该信息，并用它来确定是否可制作数字文件的更多副本。在此实施例中所制作的数字文件的任何副本可被移动而不是被复制，与前面所述的实施例相似。
写入存储媒体的信息可包括唯一标识制作副本的计算机的信息、如标识号(例如操作系统的序列号)或者计算机的硬件描述(例如计算机中的硬件组件列表，两台计算机不太可能是相同的)。因此，例如，存储媒体可被“捆绑”到该计算机上。或者，该信息可包括已经对数字文件制作的副本数量或者还可对数字文件制作的额外副本的数量。例如，播放器软件可以不允许在最初制作副本的计算机之外的任何计算机上制作数字文件的副本，或者播放器软件可以不允许制作总数超过4份的副本而不管在哪台计算机上进行制作。另一个备选方案是，一旦已经制作了最大数量的副本，则播放器软件可从存储媒体中擦除数字文件或者解密密钥。
本发明的实施例所采用的播放器软件可以是能够与采用了本发明的保护系统的任何存储媒体配合使用的通用软件。例如，每个受保护CD中可具有相同播放器软件的副本，以及该播放器软件从CD读取数字文件及其相应的解密信息，以便安装在计算机上。如果通用播放器软件已经存在，则不需要再拷贝该软件，而只需要拷贝数字文件以及使用这些数字文件所需的任何信息。多个CD的文件副本和解密信息则可由播放器软件的单个副本采用例如安全数据库来维护。或者，可能希望具有播放器软件的多种版本，例如每个音乐发行者对应一个特定版本。在这个备选方案中，各音乐发行者可负责其自己的软件，减少了成功地实现本发明的实施例所需的协调工作。软件将以类似于通用播放器的方式工作，但各特定版本仅与特定公司所制作的CD配合工作。本发明还可采用对各特定曲集唯一的且独立于其它所有曲集的软件而保存的播放器软件版本来实现。这些唯一的版本可具有特殊特征，例如增强或提高的安全性等级。播放器软件还可以可选地通过网络、如因特网下载。
根据本发明的示例实施例，保持播放器软件的完整性，以便确保本发明所提供的安全性和控制。如果播放器软件被篡改，则可能以未保护形式获得对数字内容的访问权。当播放器软件直接从存储媒体运行时，它不可能被篡改。但是，一旦安装到计算机上，则变得易于受到逆向工程及其它方式篡改。认证播放器软件的完整性的一种可行方法是：每次把存储媒体插入计算机时，让播放器软件或播放器软件的某个部分在计算机上重新安装。已经被篡改的现有播放器软件则被盖写、擦除或禁用。保护播放器软件的另一种方法是让播放器软件的一部分或者当媒体被插入时运行的存储媒体上的另一个软件程序利用数字签名、校验和或者其它任何众所周知的完整性检验方法来检查先前安装在计算机上的播放器软件。如果播放器软件没有通过完整性检验，则被拒绝或盖写。或者，完整性校验软件可利用网络连接到中央服务器，并请求该服务器对播放器软件、甚至对存储媒体本身执行完整性校验例程。
在本发明的示例实施例中，可通过各种方式对数字文件的副本进行加密或保护。保护文件的一种可行方法是采用唯一密钥对各文件的每个副本进行加密。例如，播放器软件从CD装入各个加密歌曲或音轨，利用适当密钥对它进行解密，制作该音轨的4份副本，然后再采用不同密钥对各副本加密。这种方法将提供防止未经授权存取的最高等级的安全性，但也将需要更多时间来执行复制操作，以及需要管理更大数量的密钥。或者，在特定计算机上制作的特定音轨的所有副本可采用相同密钥进行加密，或者音轨的所有副本可采用相同密钥进行加密而不管它们是在哪个计算机上制作的。加密密钥可在执行复制的计算机上本地产生，从中央服务器下载，或者已经在存储媒体中提供。所采用的加密算法可以是例如任何对称或不对称加密算法，这种算法提供充分保护的平衡，而没有负面影响计算机或便携式装置性能的计算密集度。
本发明不限于上述具体实施例。预计本领域的技术人员能够提出实现本发明的原理并保持在其范围之内的其它实现。
