Abstract:
1. A method of a client device, comprising: receiving, with the client device, a mark associated with a content piece from a remote system connecting with the client device through a network; checking, on the client device, the mark with a policy table to determine whether to play the content piece, wherein the policy table includes a plurality of marks and indicates whether each of a plurality of content pieces associated with each of the plurality of marks is acceptable for play; receiving, with the client device, another content piece associated with another mark from the remote system, after the client device rejects to play the content piece; determining, on the client device, whether the another mark is a must-accept mark, the must-accept mark is a globally unique mark recognizable by the client device and indicates that the client device must accept to play the another content piece without checking the another mark with the policy table; and decoding, on the client device, the another content piece if the another mark is the must-accept mark.
