Embodiments provide a method for maintaining digital assets of a user. The digital assets reside on at least one device and/or at least one cloud. The method further comprises aggregating the digital assets, and obtaining information identifying digital assets available for access by an access device. The digital assets available for access by the access device include a digital asset residing on a cloud or on a device other than the access device.

Managing multiple personal clouds and digital assets over multiple devices

In a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for managing digital assets of a user over multiple home network-enabled devices is provided. In this method, information is received from a plurality of home network-enabled personal devices within a user's personal cloud. The information includes usage information regarding the user's use of digital assets on those home network-enabled personal devices. Later, digital assets from the personal cloud, including assets located on non-personal devices outside a user's control (but still in the personal cloud) can be accessed using the gathered usage information.
