Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for authenticating local and remote devices associated with a broadcast area. For example, in one embodiment, a broadcast station can broadcast a first over-the-air broadcast that includes a token. A local device can scan for and identify the token in the first over-the-air broadcast it receives. The local device can then transmit the received token and user registration to an authentication server. The authentication server can use the token and user registration information to create a unique broadcast identifier. The authentication server can then transmit the unique broadcast identifier to the broadcast station and the local device. The broadcast station then broadcasts a second over-the-air broadcast that includes a unique broadcast identifier. Once the local device receives the unique broadcast identifier from the second over-the-air broadcast and the authentication server, it can be authenticated as being in the broadcast area.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for authenticating local and remote devices associated with a broadcast area. In one embodiment, an authentication server can transmit a unique broadcast identifier to a broadcast system and a local device. The broadcast system can then transmit a broadcast that includes the unique broadcast identifier. Once the local device receives the unique broadcast identifier from the broadcast and the authentication server, it can be authenticated as being in the broadcast area.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products for facilitating the management of tasks in a distributed system with modular service architecture and distributed control functions are provided. The system includes an Application Manager, an Application Node, a Service Manager, and a number of Service Nodes that are capable of executing certain services. Upon receiving a task request from the Application Manager, the Application Node generates a task identifier associated with the particular task. The Application Node may then communicate with the Service Manager using the task identifier to receive a designation of a Service Node capable of executing the service required to complete the requested task. The Application Node can then communicate the service to the designated Service Node, including the task identifier. Once completed services are received from the various Service Nodes involved, they are assembled into a completed task using the common task identifier.
