Abstract: A method includes receiving a request associated with a secondary event orchestrator to schedule a secondary event to be concurrently broadcast with a primary video program. The secondary event is based on the primary video program. The method includes scheduling, by a processing device, the secondary event in an interactive media guide (IMG). The method also includes receiving requests or subscriptions for the secondary event from at least one user device based on the scheduled secondary event in the IMG, and providing support for the concurrent broadcast of the secondary event.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes an on-demand content management system detecting a user request for a content library view and displaying, in response to the request, the content library view in a graphical user interface, the content library view including a list of entries graphically representing a plurality of on-demand content instances included in a library of on-demand content, the list of entries comprising a first set of one or more entries representing one or more on-demand content instances included in the library and in a download queue and a second set of one or more entries representing one or more other on-demand content instances included in the library but not in the download queue, wherein a position of the first set of entries is prioritized over a position of the second set of entries in the list of entries. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A user device stores first authentication information used to grant access to a resource associated with a first application, and configuration information relating to a second application. The user device receives an authentication request from the second application requesting second authentication information. Based on the configuration information relating to the second application, the user device determines whether the first authentication information contains some or all of the requested second authentication information. The user device generates an authentication response to the authentication request, using the first authentication information, and sends the authentication response to the second application in order to permit access to a resource associated with the second application.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium to receive a referral request from a customer of a service provider; generate a referral code based on a receipt of the referral request; receive a message from the customer to a non-customer, wherein the message includes the referral code; store referral information included in the message, wherein the referral information includes a communication address of the non-customer, the referral code, and a communication address of the customer; receive a request from the non-customer to subscribe to a service offered by the service provider; request the referral code or a referent of the referral code from the non-customer; and use the referral code or the referent to assign a reward to the customer.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes a user computing device 1) determining current states, such as current integration states and/or current operational states, of software applications included in a suite of software applications relative to the user computing device, 2) identifying, based on the current states, access options for the software applications included in the suite of software applications, and 3) providing, by the user computing device for display, a graphical user interface that includes the access options configured to be selected by a user of the user computing device to access the software applications included in the suite of software applications. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes an interactive media program guide system 1) displaying a user-scrollable view of a section of a paginated column of an interactive media program guide that includes a two-dimensional matrix grid of cells representing a plurality of media program listings, 2) detecting a user selection of a cell included in the matrix grid of cells and the user-scrollable view, the cell representing a media program listing included in the plurality of media program listings, and, 3) in response to the user selection of the cell, expanding the cell in-place within the paginated column of the interactive media program guide and populating the expanded cell with display content associated with a media program represented by the media program listing. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.
