Claim Text:
1. A method of negotiating a rights-managed recording event, the method comprising: determining a content to be recorded using a digital media recording device; determining a confidence level corresponding to a likelihood that the content to be recorded is a rights-managed content prior to storing the content to be recorded at the digital media recording device, using a pattern recognition technique; determining whether the content is a rights-managed content based on determining the confidence level of the determined rights-managed content indicating the rights-managed content is a correct content to be recorded; outputting an alert indicating at least one condition via a user interface installed at the digital media recording device in response to determining the content is a rights-managed content; negotiating the at least one condition using the user interface prior to performing the recording the rights-managed content, wherein the at least one condition includes payment conditions, recording quality conditions, and usage conditions; and performing a visual recording of the rights-managed content according to the at least one condition so as to store the rights-managed content at the digital media recording device in response to receiving accepted terms and condition data satisfying the at least one condition, wherein determining whether the content is a rights-managed content is based on digital rights information electrically communicated from a rights-management module located in a vicinity of the desired content and the digital media recording device, the rights-management module including a radio-frequency identification (RFID) module configured to communicate the digital rights information to the digital media recording device, and wherein the digital media recording device is in electrical communication with a virtual simulation server to display a three-dimensional (3D) simulated environment including at least one digital content displayed as a virtual object on the user interface, and wherein the virtual simulation server detects the desired recording of the digital content appearing in the 3D simulated environment, communicates at least one rights-management condition to the digital media recording device corresponding to the digital content, and performs the recording of the digital content appearing in the 3D simulated environment according to the at least one condition.
