Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a live event video stream service configured to distribute event video streams at diverse price levels, based on configuring video cameras to capture live event video streams from different locations, offering the video streams for purchase at prices based on the camera locations, and automatically maximizing profit by adjusting the quantity and price of the offered camera video streams. In an illustrative example, the cameras may be 360-degree video cameras. The camera locations may be, for example, preferred event viewing positions. In some examples, the cameras may be configured in live event viewing positions ranging from more preferred to less preferred, permitting a range of video stream prices determined based on each camera's position. Some embodiments may determine video stream price based on an auction. Various examples may advantageously maximize event profit based on adjusting the quantity and price of the offered video streams.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to offering a discounted product requested by a buyer, with offer parameters determined as a function of the discounted product request, in response to detecting a predetermined product demand characteristic, and at a location, time, and discount based on the offer. In an illustrative example, offer parameters may include quantity, location, or time. The product request may be, for example, a request for a discounted product quantity at a requested location and time. In some examples, the product demand characteristic may be demand as a function of time. The discounted product may be provided at a time and location based on a discount code generated for the product. Various examples may advantageously increase revenue limited by off-peak hour and end of day demand characteristics, for example, offering products discounted in response to demand inadequate to consume time-valued inventory and/or to better utilize operation capacity, so that the seller may increase profit.
