Abstract: A customized highlight sequence depicting multiple events, and based on a user's personal characteristics, interests, and/or preferences, is generated and presented. The events can be sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. In at least one embodiment, the amount of time available to the user can be obtained, so that the length of the highlight sequence can be tailored to the available time. A customized highlight sequence is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting events that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining to the user and comports with the time restrictions.

Abstract: A virtual system includes a memory for storing instructions and processors configured to execute operations. The operations include receiving a request from a user in a closed-loop system for an online transaction, wherein the transaction includes transferring a fund from a closed-loop account to a virtual account. The operations include generating the virtual account and a virtual identifier associated with the virtual account, wherein the virtual account is further associated with a primary identifier. The operations include blocking the primary identifier for the transaction to prevent the primary identifier's use for the fund transfer. The operations include processing the transaction by transferring the fund using the virtual identifier, wherein the expense using the virtual identifier is lower than using the primary identifier.

Abstract: A system interconnects multiple client devices over a network. A local group of the client devices is located at a live event and a remote group is located remote from the live event. Each client device of the local group is a potential source of a live stream which, when rendered by another client device, causes display of a vantage point of the live event. The system dynamically updates a subscription list to include an indication of any client device of the local group that is actively live streaming and remove an indication of any client device of the local group that terminated live streaming. The system can enable selective access to any live streams of any client device of the updated subscription list and disable access to any live streams of any client device removed from the updated subscription list.
