Digital entertainment service platform

This platform allows video creators to upload their content directly. The system then prepares these videos for secure distribution to consumers, manages customer accounts, and issues licenses that control how the videos can be used, including setting an expiration date. It also tracks video usage and calculates royalties for the creators.

Why it matters: This was filed before the widespread availability of scalable cloud infrastructure and advanced streaming protocols. Building a secure, end-to-end video distribution platform with integrated licensing and royalty reporting is now significantly more feasible and cost-effective due to mature cloud services and standardized streaming technologies.
