20140081871 | ENCRYPTION-FREE CONTENT PURCHASE PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The ENCRYPTION-FREE CONTENT PURCHASE PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“ECPP”) transform content seed selections and recommendations via ECPP components such as discovery and social influence into events and discovery of other contents for users and revenue for right-holders. In one embodiment, the ECPP may obtain from a user of a universally resolvable media content (“URMC”) service a request to purchase an unlocked URMC item. The ECPP may obtain the user's social influence metric in the service and a purchase price associated with the URMC content item. The ECPP may further determine, based on the user's social influence metric, a discount and provide the user an option to purchase the URMC content item at a purchase price reduced by the discount. The ECPP may receive from the user an indication and an authorization to purchase the URMC item, and in response, may charge an account associated with the user the purchase price reduced by the discount. The ECPP may provide the user a mechanism for unlocking the URMC item. | 03-20-2014 |
20140053236 | THRESHOLD REPORTING PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The THRESHOLD REPORTING PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“TRP”) transform content seed selections and recommendations via TRP components such as discovery and social influence into events and discovery of other contents for users and revenue for right-holders. In one implementation, the TRP detects user initiation of a universally resolvable media content (“URMC”) event in a client and obtains the URMC event identifying information. In a further implementation, the TRP may record the URMC event identifying information in association with the event in an event log in the client. The TRM may obtain reporting frequency preference setting, wherein the preference setting includes at least one URMC user activity upload rule and may determine activation of a URMC upload threshold trigger by evaluating the at least one URMC user activity upload rule. The TRP may initiate reporting of the logged URMC event identifying information based on the trigger activation and update the client upon successful acknowledgement of said reporting by a server. | 02-20-2014 |
20140047566 | LICENSE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The LICENSE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“LMP”) transform content seed selections and recommendations via LMP components such as discovery and social influence into events and discovery of other contents for users and revenue for right-holders. In one embodiment, the LMP may detect a request to engage a universally resolvable media content (“URMC”) item. The LMP may obtain an expiration date for a URMC license token associated with the URMC item and may determining, based on the obtained expiration date, whether the license token is expired. The LMP may facilitate discarding of a license key associated with the expired license token and may deny the request to engage the URMC item with the associated expired license token. The LMP may provide a request for an updated token and requisite credentials for the updated token, obtain a response including an updated token and facilitate engaging of the requested URMC item with an associated valid updated token. | 02-13-2014 |
20140040416 | CONTENT DELIVERY PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The CONTENT DELIVERY PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“CDP”) transform content seed selections and recommendations via CDP components such as discovery and gurus into events and discovery of other contents for users and revenue for right-holders. In one embodiment, the CDP may provide facilities for obtaining a universally resolvable list of content items on a local client and identifying a non-local item from the list that is absent on the local client. The CDP may generate a local cache request for the identified non-local item having an associated universally resolvable content identifier and transmit the generated local cache request to a universally resolvable content server. The CDP may then receive, in response to the transmitted request, a universally resolvable content item corresponding to the local cache request and may mark the requested item as temporary and locally available upon receiving the content item. | 02-06-2014 |
