Abstract: An instant access device may receive a request from a user device to access secure content corresponding to a particular web service. The instant access device may create a hash code based on a telephone number of the user device and a hash code, and may communicate the hash code to an authentication system. The authentication system may authenticate the user device by comparing the hash code to a hash table that includes a list of hash codes associated with user devices that are authorized to access the secure content. Based on whether the user device is authenticated by the authentication system, the instant access device may cause the user device to access the secure content, whether by accessing the secure content directly (when the user device authentication is successful) or by creating a new user account (when the user device authentication is unsuccessful).

Abstract: Techniques described herein may allow for the automatic downloading, installing, and/or launching of applications (commonly referred to as “apps”), during the presentation of content. For example, a user device (e.g., a smart phone) may play video content, such as a trailer for a video game app. During the presentation of the trailer, a button, to install the video game app, may be presented. Based on a single click of the button, the video game app may be downloaded and installed. The app may further be launched as soon as it is installed, and/or as soon as the trailer ends. Some techniques described herein may be applicable for the automatic downloading, installing, and/or launching of an application on a wearable device while another device presents content, or vice versa.

Abstract: A server device may communicate with a user device by engaging in a telephone call with the user device, by providing a webpage to the user device, or in another way.

Abstract: A network device provides, to a user device, an application for managing viewing and sharing of content available via an Internet service provider, and assigns a unique code for a user of the user device. The network device provides a catalog of available content items that includes toll-free data (TFD) content items with a different TFD uniform resource locator (URL) for each TFD content item in the catalog of available content items. The network device receives a user's selection, from the catalog, of a TFD content item to share, and generates a sharing URL based on a TFD URL for the selected TFD content item and the unique sharing code. The network device provides the sharing URL to the user device for sharing with other users.

Abstract: A device may receive, from an interactive voice response (IVR) device, a first request for a code.

The device may determine the code based on at least one of the first request or the user device information. The device may send, to the IVR device, the code to enable the IVR device to configure a call tree based on the code. The device may receive, from the IVR device, a second request for an experience. The experience may be based on the code. The device may send, to the user device, a message to cause the user device to provide the experience.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable users to access services protected by two-factor security systems without having to provide additional authentication information (e.g., a portion of the user's social security number, biometric information, etc.). An application server may provide one or more services, such as a social networking service, an online banking service, etc. When a user device attempts to access the service, the user may provide a username and password, to the application server, as the first factor of a two-factor authentication process required to access the service. However, instead of requiring the user to provide additional authentication information (e.g., the second factor), a network authentication server, the application server, and the user device may collaborate to automatically provide the additional authentication information.
