Patent number: 9043481Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to account-based access to media services are described. A media access controller server validates a voucher for an offer of network content and issues a token permitting access to the content. A media access manager server validates the token and invokes a playlist-generation step at a publishing point, and returns the content to a user's media player. A custom plug-in on the media access manager may enforce terms of service imposed by the publisher, such as a maximum number of simultaneous streams permitted by a single voucher, or a time window for use of the voucher. Streams whose voucher's end time has expired are terminated by the plug-in.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: DIGITAL RIVER, INC.Inventors: Gyuchang Jun, Kurt Huang, Duane Kuroda

Publication number: 20140122197Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing online offers for rewards that can be tracked to offline transactions for redemption. In order to protect sensitive consumer information, payment processing details such as credit card numbers and other authorizing data are redirected through a secure network to payment processing platforms, and then tokenized for subsequent use in relatively less secure data network communications and transactions. After a secure payment processing platform has authorized a transaction such as a reward for purchases, the payment processing platform can detect qualifying retail activity and generate corresponding rewards, which may be signaled to the customer through any suitable communications medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Inventors: Wanchung Cheung, Gyuchang Jun, Johnson W. Ma, Vickie W. Peng, Glenn D. Poppe, Alastair M. Rampell, Kevin Martin Sun

Patent number: 8156041Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a Spender may spend money to buy an item, spend money on a donation, etc. A Spender (sometimes called a buyer) will typically use client software to access content, where the client is typically a computing device that includes a display, which facilitates the transaction between a Spender and an Earner. An “Earner” (sometimes called a seller) is someone who provides items or content within the system for sale, trade, or acquisition in return for credit or money earned. In the described embodiments, an Earner's server may be anything, which serves content and/or includes an Earner gateway, which facilitates trusted third party interaction frequently used in the system, and may also be used to describe several servers or a server farm. In some embodiments, the Earner's server is included as a part of the server controlling content access.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Digital River, Inc.Inventors: Gyuchang Jun, Kurt H. Huang, Matthew C. Graves
