Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for enabling multiple users' digital rights to be applied as needed to access media while those users are present to consume media. In particular, a media guidance application may receive a selection of a media asset and determine that the user equipment device does not allow access to the media asset. In response, the media guidance application may identify all the users consuming content from that user equipment device and retrieve digital rights for each user. The media guidance application may compare the digital rights of each user with digital rights required to access the media asset. The media guidance application may, based on the comparison, identify a set of digital rights (e.g., for another user present) that enable access to the media asset, and use those digital rights to access the media asset for consumption.

Claim (Index 12):
A system for consuming media using digital rights of another user while the other user is present, the system comprising:\n communications circuitry; and control circuitry configured to: receive user input that identifies a media asset for consumption by a plurality of users that is consuming media content from a first user equipment device, wherein the first user equipment device is associated with a first user of the plurality of users; retrieve, using a media asset identifier associated with the media asset, digital rights associated with the media asset; retrieve, using a user identifier associated with the first user, a first set of digital rights, wherein the first set of digital rights includes digital rights associated with the first user; compare the first set of digital rights with digital rights required to access the media asset; determine, based on comparing the first set of digital rights with the digital rights required to access the media asset, that the first user does not have digital rights to access the media asset; in response to determining that the first user does not have the digital rights to access the media asset: determine a plurality of user identifiers, wherein each user identifier is associated with a respective user of the plurality of users; retrieve, using the plurality of user identifiers, a plurality of sets of digital rights, wherein each set of the plurality of sets of digital rights describes digital rights for a respective user of the plurality of users; compare each set of digital rights of the plurality of sets of digital rights with the digital rights required to access the media asset; determine, based on comparing each set of digital rights of the plurality of sets of digital rights with the digital rights required to access the media asset, whether a second set of digital rights of the plurality of sets of digital rights matches the digital rights required to access the media asset; and in response to determining, that the second set of digital rights of the plurality of sets of digital rights matches the digital rights required to access the media asset, access the media asset using the first user equipment device with the second set of digital rights.
