  • Publication number: 20210297403
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user for a service provider system. A database including a list of device identifiers is maintained in an authentication management system. A request to authenticate a user is received from a service provider system in an authentication management system. The request includes a device identification of the device associated with the user. It is determined that the device identification is included in the list of device identifiers and an authentication verification is transmitted to the service provider system in response to determining the device identification is included in the list of device identifiers.

  • Patent number: 10441891
    Abstract: A first content item instance may be played by one or more participants and may be presented by one or more first compute nodes to the one or more participants. Information associated with the first content item instance may be collected. The information may include, for example, game state, user inputs, and other information associated with the first content item instance. The information may be provided as input to a second content item instance executing at one or more second compute nodes. Audio and/or video information output by the second content item instance may then be collected, and data including the collected information may be transmitted to one or more third compute nodes for presentation to spectators. Spectator feedback may be received and provided back to the first content item instance, which may be presented based, at least in part, on the spectator feedback.

  • Patent number: 9993737
    Abstract: Features are described to use data from game play to construct social networks of users. For example determining that a user played a game with a certain player, a certain number of times, can indicate compatibility between the user and the player. The compatibility may suggest the potential for a social network connection between the user and the player. Social network connections could be within the particular game platform, or the connection may be outside the game such as via other social networking platforms. In addition, a type of connection via the service may be identified. For example, some services allow users to follow or friend other users, where each type of connection is associated with different data security features.
