20100268580 | NETWORK-BASED SIMULATED PACKAGE FOR ENCLOSING DIGITAL OBJECTS - The present disclosure provides methods and systems for bundling and presenting digital information within a network environment by simulating a physical package. In one embodiment, the simulated package has an outer package level to present ancillary information about digital objects enclosed in the simulated package. An inner content level contains the digital objects of the package. In some instances, the inner content level also presents privileges, proxies, promotions, etc. in association with the user's ownership interest in the simulated package. The simulated package also includes an identifier to uniquely associate it with a specific user and to enable the simulated package to function as a unique instance. Also presented are methods and systems to manage the identifiers and to lookup and transfer requests from users to appropriate retailers hosting the simulated packages. | 10-21-2010 |
