  • Patent number: 11985256
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for automatic provisioning of limited-transferability electronic certificates associated with events. The present invention may be configured to receive event data including event information associated with an event, receive user data including user information associated with a user, where the user is associated with the event, and generate, based on the event data and the user data, an electronic digital certificate. The present invention may be configured to store the electronic digital certificate on a distributed ledger and generate, on the distributed ledger, a smart contract associated with the electronic digital certificate that prevents transfer of the electronic digital certificate.

  • Publication number: 20210158176
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises a server for database search and knowledge mining. The server may learn different table's semantics, relationships, and usage by parsing historical query logs and analyzing tables' metadata (e.g., table descriptions). The analytic server may generate a graph database based on the table relationships obtained from the parsing. The graph database may be a relationship graph where tables are the nodes and edges represent the relationships among tables. When the server receives a query, the server extract semantics of the query, and return a set of tables that are semantically similar to the query. The set of tables may be a list of tables whose semantic similarities with the query satisfies a threshold. The analytic server may further generate a graph including the list of tables to show the relationships of these tables.

  • Publication number: 20190268662
    Abstract: Content streams are enhanced through management of spectator tracking and reward determinations via a central system between a streamer client device and spectator client devices. Spectators viewing a content stream of a title streamed over a network via a title rewards service from the client device executing the title are tracked along with their time spent viewing the stream. An indication of a reward received from the streamer client device causes the title rewards service to determine spectators meeting reward criteria and issues a multi-cast reward notice to qualified spectator client devices. Spectators authenticate with the title rewards service as players of titles to redeem rewards that are provided by the titles at their client devices. Spectators of unintegrated titles are also tracked for later rewards when such titles are integrated into the title rewards service.

  • Patent number: 9781056
    Abstract: Telemetry data from a plurality of peer computers of a peer-to-peer network is aggregated via a computer network. Each of the plurality of peer computers sends telemetry data related to transfer of a digital content item within the peer-to-peer network. A content-acquisition request querying for a recommended content source to provide a first digital content item is received from a first peer computer of the peer-to-peer network via the computer network. A response to the content-acquisition request is sent to the first peer computer via the computer network. The response identifies a second peer computer of the peer-to-peer network that has the first digital content item as the recommended content source. The second peer computer is selected according to a peer selection metric derived from the telemetry data aggregated from the plurality of peer computers.

  • Patent number: 9596306
    Abstract: A content-acquisition request is sent to a centralized management service computer via a computer network. The content-acquisition request may query the centralized management service computer for a recommended content source to provide a first digital content item. If a response to the content-acquisition request is received via the computer network and identifies a recommended peer computer of a peer-to-peer network as the recommended content source, a request to download the first digital content item is sent to the recommended peer computer via the computer network. If a response to the content-acquisition request is not received, a fallback request to download the first digital content item is automatically sent to a content-delivery network computer via the computer network.

  • Publication number: 20150058175
    Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern realizing the boxed experience for digital content acquisition. Example apparatus and methods associate a digital content purchase with digital metadata. The digital content purchase may be a computer game, a console video game, a film, a television program, or an e-book. The digital metadata may describe a user-customizable physical item portrayed within the digital content purchase. Example apparatus and methods include digital metadata with a digital content purchase, and control the re-creation of a physical item from the digital metadata. Example apparatus and methods may limit the number of times the physical item may be re-created from the digital metadata, and may control the frequency with which the physical item may be re-created.
