Patent number: 10387630Abstract: A system and method for giving access to streaming media that is associated with purchased physical media item is disclosed herein. Upon the purchase of a physical media item, a unique identifier is received. The unique identifier is analyzed to determine if the unique identifier is associated with a streaming service account. If so, the streaming service account is modified to grant access to streaming media that is associated with the physical media. The user is notified of the availability of the streaming media. The user can then initiate playback of the streaming media. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: VUDU, INC.Inventors: Alan Char, Nicholas Brailas, Anthony Marcar, Michael Ye, Oleksiy Kokhanyy, Hua Li

Publication number: 20170236119Abstract: A multi-book accounting system capable of immediately updating all secondary books regardless of underlying currency when transactions are entered in the primary book with respect to consolidation and elimination aspects. This may be accomplished by using a consolidated exchange rate database that can serve as a basis for currency exchange rates for any book in a multi-book setting. Thus, users will be able to run consolidated reports via a multi-tenant online accounting service. Consolidated impact of any transaction will be calculated automatically when any consolidated report in any secondary book is invoked similar to the process with respect to any primary book. A separate set of consolidated exchange rates may be applied in the various secondary accounting books. Furthermore, users will be able to run automatic intercompany elimination via a multi-tenant online accounting service for secondary books in the same way as it is possible for primary accounting book.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: MICHAL KAMENSKY, MICHAEL YE, STEPHEN CLODE
