| 20080300998 | Method for Online Buying - A digital rights management (DRM) storage device acts as a virtual browser and server functioning as an offline shopping mall. Cookies and similar information stored can be maintained on the DRM device. When attached to an online host (or a host to which it is attached is placed online) the device becomes an automated portal to online shopping (e-shopping) sites. Based on possession of the device, it can act as an authenticator, independent of the need to enter names or passwords. The secure storage ability of the device can also allow it to act as a secure connector with server by securely storing credit card and other sensitive personal information within the DRM device, rather than being maintained on a server associated with a merchant's website, on a personal computer or hosting device, or both. | 12-04-2008 |
