Resource watermarking and management

Abstract

A method, system and non-transitory computer-readable medium product are provided for resource watermarking and management. In the context of a method, a method is provided that includes identifying resources associated with a device and identifying a watermark template. The method further includes associating the watermark template with the resources, and authorizing the device to perform actions on the resources.

         21 . A method for dynamically applying a digital watermark to an electronic resource, comprising:
 receiving, from a client device, an access request for the electronic resource;   identifying the electronic resource to receive the digital watermark;   determining dynamic descriptive data to apply to the electronic resource as the digital watermark, the dynamic descriptive data being associated with the access request; and   overlaying the dynamic descriptive data on the electronic resource.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the dynamic descriptive data is associated with the access request by including a user identifier and a timestamp associated with a user providing the access request. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising determining the dynamic descriptive data in response to receiving the access request. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the access request is sent from a user device to a resource server that stores the electronic resource, the electronic resource being stored without the digital watermark. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein receiving the access request includes receiving the access request over a network at a watermarking server, the watermarking server providing the dynamic descriptive data before the electronic resource is provided to the client device. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising configuring the digital watermark to include the dynamic descriptive data in defined locations of the electronic resource. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the dynamic descriptive data includes a device identifier. 
     
     
         28 . A computer-readable medium comprising instructions for dynamically applying a digital watermark to an electronic resource, the instructions being configured to perform steps comprising:
 receiving, from a client device, an access request for the electronic resource;   identifying the electronic resource to receive the digital watermark;   determining dynamic descriptive data to apply to the electronic resource as the digital watermark, the dynamic descriptive data being associated with the access request; and   overlaying the dynamic descriptive data on the electronic resource.   
     
     
         29 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein the dynamic descriptive data is associated with the access request by including a user identifier and a timestamp associated with a user providing the access request. 
     
     
         30 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , further comprising which, when executed, determine the dynamic descriptive data in response to receiving the access request. 
     
     
         31 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein the access request is sent from a user device to a resource server that stores the electronic resource, the electronic resource being stored without the digital watermark. 
     
     
         32 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein receiving the access request includes receiving the access request over a network at a watermarking server, the watermarking server providing the dynamic descriptive data before the electronic resource is provided to the client device. 
     
     
         33 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further configure the digital watermark to include the dynamic descriptive data in defined locations of the electronic resource. 
     
     
         34 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein the dynamic descriptive data includes a device identifier. 
     
     
         35 . A system for dynamically applying a digital watermark to an electronic resource, comprising:
 a client device configured to provide an access request for the electronic resource;   one or more servers configured to at least:
 identify the electronic resource to receive the digital watermark; 
 determine dynamic descriptive data to apply to the electronic resource as the digital watermark, the dynamic descriptive data being associated with the access request; and 
 overlay the dynamic descriptive data on the electronic resource. 
   
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the dynamic descriptive data is associated with the access request by including a user identifier and a timestamp associated with a user providing the access request. 
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the one or more servers are further configured to determine the dynamic descriptive data in response to receiving the access request. 
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the access request is sent from a user device to a resource server that stores the electronic resource, the electronic resource being stored by the one or more servers without the digital watermark. 
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein receiving the access request includes receiving the access request over a network at the one or more servers, the one or more servers providing the dynamic descriptive data before providing the electronic resource to the client device. 
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 35 , further comprising configuring the digital watermark to include the dynamic descriptive data in defined locations of the electronic resource.
