PROJECT SUMMARY
SIMPLIMA develops a usage and rights management system for media
distribution over the Internet. The system handles Digital Media
in the form of text, video, music and other digital content
types.
SIMPLIMA's innovative ROC (Remote Object Control) technology
enables the content owner and subsequent distributors to control
the usage and protect their rights.
The system uses a unique offline mechanism that provides an
improved solution to the Digital Rights Management (DRM) arena.
The system consists of a Builder module installed at the content
owner and/or distributor premises, and a Controller module that
is downloaded to customers' devices.
ADVANTAGES
* Generic technology that can be applied to any electronic device
(PC, PDA , Digital TV, Cellular Phone, etc)
* The system allows for wide range of usage modes (pay-per-use,
pay-per-time, pay-per-prints etc.)
* Flexibility of setting usage restrictions and payment terms by
owner / distributor per specific content.
* Unused rights can be returned and credited for.
* Ease of use - once the rights expire the content disappears
from the device - no need to return or erase it.
