A method of registering a legacy device, a method of transferring data, and a method of authenticating a legacy device are provided. The method of registering a legacy device by using a virtual client, which allows the legacy device to access a domain, includes: receiving unique information on the legacy device from the legacy device which requests the domain to register the legacy device; searching a registrable legacy device list including the unique information on the legacy device which can be registered in the domain for the unique information on the legacy device; and requesting a domain manager, which manages the domain, to register the legacy device, when the unique information on the legacy device is included in the registrable legacy device list, and not allowing the legacy device to be registered in the domain when the unique information on the legacy device is not included in the registrable legacy device list.

Legacy device registering method, data transferring method and legacy device authenticating method

An apparatus and method for transferring a Rights Object (RO) for a content between devices via a server, wherein a sending device converts a first RO taken by itself to encode into a second RO, and sends an RO move request message including the second RO to the server, whereas the server converts the second RO included in the RO move request message into a third RO and transfers the third RO to a receiving device, whereby the receiving device receives the third RO from the server for installation, wherein the sending device deletes or modifies the first RO at an appropriate time point.

Apparatus and method for moving rights object from one device to another device via server

A method of controlling data transfer, a method of controlling content transfer, a method of obtaining content processing information, and a system for transferring content are provided. The method of controlling data transfer in a data interoperable environment includes: receiving a request for transmitting data from a client; gathering information on entities which are to participate in transmitting data; forming a chain including at least two entities by using the gathered information on the entities; transmitting a plurality of data through the chain; and receiving an event message for representing a transmission status of the data transmitted from at least one of the entities included in the chain. Accordingly, it is possible to control a transmission of the data so that the plurality of data can be transmitted through a single session and to receive the transmission status of the data as an event message.

Data transfer controlling method, content transfer controlling method, content processing information acquisition method and content transfer system

A method for managing a specific domain (or user domain), for example leaving the domain by a specific device after fully returning a Rights Object (RO) taken by the specific device, instead of deactivating the RO, when leaving the specific domain, the method in which the device desiring to leave the specific domain moves its RO to another device desiring to join the specific domain and thereafter leaves the specific domain under the control of a Domain Authority/Domain Enforcement Agent (DA/DEA).

Method for managing user domain in digital rights management and system thereof

A method and system for managing at least one DRM agent intending to join or leave a user domain in a Digital Rights Management (DRM) is provided, in which a Domain Enforcement Agent (DEA) manages the joining and leaving of the DRM agent resident in a home network it manages, and a Domain Authority (DA) provides a domain key to a DRM agent joining the user domain.
