Abstract

In a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for managing digital assets of a user over multiple home network-enabled devices is provided. In this method, information is received from a plurality of home network-enabled personal devices within a user's personal cloud. The information includes usage information regarding the user's use of digital assets on those home network-enabled personal devices. Later, digital assets from the personal cloud, including assets located on non-personal devices outside a user's control (but still in the personal cloud) can be accessed using the gathered usage information.
