Patent number: 9900220Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing burst usage of a networked computer system are described herein. In an embodiment, resource requesters can request, within a time window, resources over a computer network before the resources are available. The resources can then be allocated in batch mode when the resources are available. Thus, resource requests do not have to be processed in real-time, and resource requests can be received before the resources are available.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Adam Sussman, Brendan Ross, Bob Bennett, Dennis Denker, Andrew Karonis, Kenton F.

Patent number: 9838394Abstract: A resource-access management system detects whether a user is authorized to access resources. The system may include a user device being configured to include a sensor that detects sensor data associated with the user. Further, the system includes a client qualification engine that determines whether or not a client is authorized to access the resources by comparing the sensor data with a plurality of patterns for evaluating whether or not the user is an authorized user. User scores are generated based on the compared sensor data and the plurality of patterns. Further, a composite score corresponding to the user is generated using the sensor data, plurality of patterns, and one or more additional criteria. Whether the user is granted access to the resources, presented with unauthorized user tests, or blocked from access to the resources depends on the composite score and threshold values.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Fengpei Du, Michael Lane, Kenneth Ives-Halperin

Patent number: 9805179Abstract: A system and method for scheduling tasks associated with controlling access to databases. The system and method relate to scheduling tasks for data requesting systems that satisfy particular conditions. For example, data requesting systems that satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks stored in a queue during a first processing phase. Data requesting systems that do not satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks inhibited from being stored in the queue during the first processing phase, but these tasks may be stored in the queue during a later second processing phase. Tasks stored in the queue during the first processing phase may be processed before tasks stored in the queue during the second processing phase. For example, the tasks may correspond to accessing a database for querying data representing access rights to a resource.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Robert McEwen, Debbie Hsu, John Carnahan, Vasanth Kumar

Patent number: 9798892Abstract: A system and method for scheduling data transfers between systems. One or more data requesting systems may request access to particular data. The request for access to the particular data may correspond to a request that a task to be performed. The task may be to exchange the particular data between a data accessing system having access to the particular data and a data requesting system requesting access to the particular data. The communication exchange may be scheduled for processing. In some embodiments, the communication exchange may be initiated based on a parameter included in the request that the task be performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: John Raymond Werneke, Samuel Levin, David Scarborough

Patent number: 9740988Abstract: A method for detection and use of device identifiers to enhance the security of data transfers between electronic devices. A first electronic device can transmit access data to a second electronic device. The access data can be associated with a first access code that can be generated based at least in part on data representing a device identifier of the first electronic device. A device identifier can uniquely identify the first electronic device from a plurality of electronic devices. Transferring the access data can involve transforming the first access code into a second access code that can include data representing a device identifier associated with the second electronic device. Transforming the first access code into the second access code can facilitate access to a resource associated with the access data for a second user, but not for a first user.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.Inventors: Samuel Levin, David Scarborough, Fengpei Du, Richard DiStefano, Dennis Denker, Sean Moriarty, Charles Plamondon, Matthew Siegel, Benjamin Marti
