Abstract: Improved techniques and apparatus for managing data between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a media device are disclosed. The data being managed can, for example, pertain to media data for media assets. The managing of the media data thus can involve transfer of media assets between the host device and the media device. In one embodiment, the transfer of media assets between a host device and a media device can be referred to as data backup.

Abstract: Media bundles described herein can associate digital media assets so as to be able to provide media presentations involving the digital media assets at a client device. A media bundle can be used on a client device to support media presentation of digital media assets at the client device. The media presentation can provide a multimedia experience for the user of the client device. Conversion data can be provided to the client device to facilitate mapping from provider identifiers within the media bundle to identifiers used by a media distribution system.

Abstract: Improved techniques and apparatus for managing data between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a client device. The data being managed can, for example, pertain to portable computer programs, such as widgets. The managing of the data thus can involve transfer of portable computer programs (e.g., widgets) between the host device and the client device. In one embodiment, the transfer of portable computer programs between a host device and a client device can be referred to as synchronization.

Abstract: Improved methods and systems that facilitate transfer and synchronization of data, namely, media data, between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a portable media device (e.g., portable media player) are disclosed. By coupling the portable media device to different host devices at different times, media data can be transferred between the different host devices. Synchronization of media data between a host device and a portable media device can also take into consideration one or more user synchronization related settings.

Abstract: The present technology resolves playlist version conflicts resulting from modifications made to a playlist version, stored on a client device and in a cloud locker, when the client device and the cloud locker are in a disconnected state. The present technology is a heuristic for determining how to resolve such version conflicts. Upon reconnection of the client and cloud locker, the server, associated with cloud locker attempts to reconcile any version discrepancies resulting from user-initiated changes. In one embodiment, when the server determines that one of the playlists on the client or server is a superset of the other, the superset is selected and saved to both the client and cloud locker, while the subset version is deleted.

Abstract: A method and system for network-based distribution of content are disclosed. The distribution of content is not only secure but also controlled. The security restricts access to content within media files during downloads as well as while stored at a server or client. In one embodiment, each media file is encrypted with a different, randomly generated key. The control over the distribution of the media file can serve to limit the subsequent distribution of media files from clients to other clients. In another embodiment, the control can permit media files to be shared on a limited number of different clients affiliated with the same user. The clients can vary with application but generally are computing devices that have memory storage. Often, the clients are personal computers or other computing devices that are capable of storing and presenting content to their users

Abstract translation: 公开了一种基于网络分发内容的方法和系统。 内容的分发不仅安全，而且受到控制。 安全性限制了在下载过程中以及在服务器或客户端存储时访问媒体文件中的内容。 在一个实施例中，每个媒体文件用不同的随机生成的密钥加密。 对媒体文件分发的控制可以用于限制媒体文件从客户端到其他客户端的后续分发。 在另一个实施例中，该控件可以允许媒体文件在与相同用户相关联的有限数量的不同客户端上共享。 客户端可以随应用程序而变化，但通常是具有存储器的计算设备。 通常，客户端是能够向其用户存储和呈现内容的个人计算机或其他计算设备
