Patent number: 10699221Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a collaborative ticketing system that manages various aspects of ticketing for events (e.g., movies, concerts, sporting events, and the like) using knowledge about the contacts, friends, and other social connections of system users. The collaborative ticketing system may generate dynamic ticket offers that are based on the number of friends, invited by users, ultimately obtaining tickets. The collaborative ticketing system can also streamline the procurement of concessions and other event-related items by allowing users to pre-purchase such items (e.g., in connection with ticket offers), and then pick up the items at the event venue with little or no wait. In addition, users can preview event-related content (e.g., movie trailers) for event providers (e.g., movie studios), and answer questions or otherwise provide feedback about the event-related content in return for special offers, rewards, and other considerations.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Atom Tickets, LLCInventors: Ameesh Paleja, Alexander Rouse, Alan Raddatz, Kenley Capps, Matthew Bakal, Geoff Shaevitz, Michael Burns

Patent number: 8239513Abstract: Metrics may be gathered at various points of a media distribution system as digital media files are being transmitted to client devices. The metrics may be analyzed to determine whether the media distribution system is performing at an appropriate level. If it is determined that the media distribution system is not performing at an appropriate level, configuration changes may be made to the media distribution system to improve performance. Examples of configuration changes may include changing the number of servers or server instances that are being utilized, changing the quality of the files that are being transmitted, changing the amount of CPU resources being used, adjusting client priorities, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ameesh Paleja, Samuel S.
