Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for advantageously forecasting an inventory of a product having a particular duration (e.g., video content). The technique can include determining the particular configuration (e.g., maximum number of impressions, maximum amount of time permitted) of breaks identified within an impression log. Based on the number of breaks and the configurations of the breaks, the technique can forecast a future inventory of the product. In some implementations, the disclosed technique can identify an amount of a previous break that was not filled with video content. These forecasts can enable product sellers to better communicate with their customers, negotiate supply contracts, price their products, plan for business operations, etc.

Abstract: A computer server receives from a mobile device, via a first network, a data structure request that includes a user identifier; associates a data structure with a user profile; and transmits the data structure to the mobile device. The user profile includes the user identifier and a current balance value. The server receives from a POS device, via a second network, a balance update request that includes an updated balance value, and a validation request that includes the user identifier and the data structure. The server determines that, prior to receiving the validation request, the server had associated the data structure with the user profile. The server replaces the current balance value in the user profile with the updated balance value; and transmits to the mobile device, via the first network, a balance update confirmation confirming that the server had updated the user profile with the updated balance value.
