Patent ID: 8566894

Claim:
A system for the distribution of media comprising: a secure network center; a delivery system coupled to the secure network center; a plurality of multimedia teller machines (MTMs) coupled to the delivery system, wherein each of the plurality of MTMs receive a plurality of media files from the secure network center through the delivery system and each of the plurality of MTMs uniquely encodes the plurality of media files, wherein reference information for each of the plurality of uniquely encoded media files is stored with the secure network center, wherein the reference information includes an algorithm ID associated with the unique encoding, wherein usage information relating users to at least one of the plurality of uniquely encoded media files is stored with the secure network center to identify piracy activities, wherein the usage information includes play time period, resolution selection, and tracking details, wherein each of the plurality of MTMs produce a plurality of gigablocks, wherein each of the plurality of gigablocks includes a memory system for storing at least one of the plurality of uniquely encoded media files; and a plurality of receivers that each include a decoding engine and that are each designed to receive the plurality of gigablocks, wherein responsive to receiving the plurality of gigablocks, each of the plurality of receivers directly connects to the secure network center to verify the reference information using the decoding engine and to allow playing of the at least one of the plurality of uniquely encoded media files.
