Key Specification – DRM

In order to enhance the security of value-added content, such as high quality music, MMS or multimedia stream, and protect its intellectual property rights, Hopen provides standard Digital Rights Managements (DRM) in HMAP to manufactures. Hopen DRM is compliant with OMA DRM1.0 release in the following three levels of functionality：

Forward Lock
The user can play or execute the media object in a DRM message in the smartphone, but cannot forward it to other devices.
Hopen has already included this forward-lock feature on customers’ handsets.

Combined Delivery
This feature combines the content with the 'digital rights' in the DRM message. In addition to forward lock, content publishers could either limit the number of days or just count how many times the content is accessed so that the smartphone user can play the content based on the price paid. If the DRM message with the 'digital rights' is removed from the device, the media and rights objects must not be accessed and/or forwarded.

Separate Delivery
This feature is used for the highest value content. The user is allowed to forward the content but not the rights. Under this functionality, the media object is encrypted and converted into the DCF format. The smartphone is also allowed to forward, named super distribute the DCF file to another device. However, rights objects are not allowed to be forwarded with the DCF.
Now, Hopen DRM can be used in MMS, WAP, HVM, OTA and E-mail clients and other applications. We dedicate to offering a time-to-market and cost saving DRM solution for our customers.
