Patent attributes
Various implementations manage an electronic asset by creating a representation of an electronic asset and its variants. This may be accomplished by identifying variants of an electronic asset, identifying a portion of a feature space associated with the asset and variants, and providing a representation corresponding to that portion of feature space. A fixed function classifier may be used to determine the points in the feature space for the electronic asset and its variants. The set of points produced for an asset and its variants using such a fixed function classifier will be near one another in feature space. Moreover, the area around such points will also represent points for other similar variations of the asset and thus, the portion of the feature space around the points can be considered the area of ownership for the electronic asset, e.g., it defines a boundary of what the creator is asserting is his or her creation.
