  • Patent number: 9948967
    Abstract: Particular embodiments generate a database table that keeps track of authorization package combinations for videos being offered by a video delivery service. The table may allow the video delivery service to keep track of how much content is available for a specific authorization package combination that a user might have access to In one embodiment, the video delivery service does not pre-generate every single possible authorization package combination on a per-show basis. Rather, only a subset of the authorization package combinations is generated for each show. Then, the video delivery service uses a query to the database table that can calculate which content a user is authorized to access from the subset of authorization package combinations that were generated.
