  • Patent number: 10764305
    Abstract: A digital content delivery system transmits, to a client device, a request for a set of verification data as part of an account registrations process to verify that a user of the client device is providing accurate information regarding their identity. The digital content delivery system receives a subset of the verification data and determines that the user has provided sufficient verification data to verify that the user of the client device is providing accurate information regarding their identity. In response, the digital content delivery system generates a unique identifier for the user account, which enables the user to access digital content maintained by the digital content delivery system. The digital content is provided to the user embedded with the unique identifier for the user account.

  • Patent number: 10423762
    Abstract: A method for detecting digital content misuse can include clustering a set of data points into a set of known violator dusters; determining, based on the set of known violator clusters, that a first user account is potentially a digital content violator, the first user account being represented by a first data point that is not included in the first set of data points, and the first data point having been determined based on usage signal data describing digital content usage association with the first user account; and in response to determining that the first user account is potentially a digital content violator, executing a remedial action with respect to the first user account.
