International Classification:

G06F 21/00
G06F 21/24

US Classification:

726 28, 726 30

Abstract:

Embodiments provide a system for content distribution and protection. The system first receives an order from a user for a protected document. In response to a successful user authentication, the system generates an access code for the user to access the protected document. In response to a received user reading request, the system validates the access code for a reading session. The system then transfers a set of URLs for accessing a set of pages and associated metadata in the protected document to the user. The set of URLs are valid for a period of time. Responsive to a request for reading a next set of pages, the system again validates the access code for the session and transfers another set of URLs for accessing the next set of pages. The system also logs user activities related to the protected document.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

An electronic publishing platform maps supplemental content layers associated with one or more paired target documents, such as user-generated content layers associated with the paired target documents, into a source document. The publishing platform correlates content items in the source document to content items in the paired target documents. Based on the correlation, the publishing platform generates indexes mapping the source document content items to the paired target document content items. The publishing platform uses the indexes to map supplemental content layers associated with the paired target document to the source document.
