Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for automatically scheduling and carrying-out the transfer of media content to user-carried storage components in anticipation of predicted user needs. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or function of determining when an offline viewing event is forecast to occur due to an anticipated desire on behalf of the end user to view media content in a future timeframe without reliance on a network connection. When determining that an offline viewing event is forecast to occur, media transfer start conditions are established for initiating transfer of selected media content to a user-carried memory component prior to the forecast occurrence of the offline viewing event. When the media transfer start conditions are subsequently satisfied, transfer of the selected media content is initiated from a media content server, over a network, and to the user-carried memory component.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method generates combinations of ad campaign content and media program campaign content and ranks the combinations of ad campaign content and media program content.

The system locks a first data structure to prevent transfer of a first resource in electronic transactions associated with the first source identifier. The system identifies source identifiers associated with the first cluster in a first tier. The system locks absent detection of the fraudulent electronic transaction in one or more electronic transaction associated with the source identifiers, the data structure corresponding to each of the source identifiers in the first cluster.
