Abstract: Improved techniques and systems for delivery and acquisition of digital assets are disclosed. The techniques and systems are especially suitable and useful for delivering digital assets (e.g., media assets) that are available for acquisition and electronic delivery from online stores to electronic devices. In accordance with one aspect, when a digital asset is acquired from an online store via an electronic device associated with a user, the digital asset can be arranged for delivery to a number of other of electronic devices also associated with the user. It will be appreciated that the digital asset can be delivered and acquired without requiring explicit user input or instruction in accordance with another aspect. Other aspects of the techniques and systems include customization of configuration and user interfaces that are provided to facilitate acquisition of digital assets in a more efficient manner.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a unique (or quasi unique) identifier can be received by an application store, or other on-line store, and the store can create a signed receipt that includes data desired from the unique identifier. This signed receipt is then transmitted to a device that is running the application obtained from the on-line store and the device can verify the receipt by deriving the unique (or quasi-unique) identifier from the signed receipt and comparing the derived identifier with the device identifier stored on the device, or the vendor identifier assigned to the application vendor.

Abstract: A technique that can be implemented by the digital asset repository, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from a first application executing on the first computing device, a request to access information associated with a second application managed by the digital asset repository, wherein the request: (i) is transmitted in response to a selection of a user interface that is displayed by the first application and that relates to the second application, and (ii) includes a set of parameters that is provided by a remote server and that specifies at least one utilization requirement pertaining to the second application; (2) receiving, from the second application, an indication that activity associated with the second application has been performed; (3) determining, based on the indication, that the at least one utilization requirement is satisfied; and (4) providing the set of parameters to a metrics manager executing on a second computing device.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for managing advertisement attributions. A first technique can be implemented by an “app store” application, and include the steps of (1) receiving, from a first user application, a request to view a second user application, where the request includes a set of digitally-signed parameters that are specific to an advertising campaign (provided by an advertisement network) for the second user application that is presented by the first user application. In turn, and in response to identifying that the second user application satisfies at least one criterion, the app store application provides the set of digitally-signed parameters to an advertisement metrics manager that: (i) verifies the set of digitally-signed parameters, and (ii) indicates, to the advertisement network, that business logic should be carried out in association with the first user application and the second user application. A second technique for managing advertisement attributions is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for customizing an authorization request schedule. In some embodiments, application of one or more statistical or rule-based models may be combined with the use of one or more learning-based models to provide a hybrid model approach to customizing an authorization request schedule that may allow for the personalization and flexibility of a learning model as well as the fine tunability of a statistical model.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating an internet radio media station based on metadata available on the user's media library. The media station can be generated in response to a subscription request to an internet radio service. In one example, the media station is generated without a user seed. Metadata related to the user's media library is analyzed and format rules are selected and configured according to the analysis. The format rules are associated with slots in a media station that define the playback sequence of the media station.

Abstract: Improved approaches to allow a portable electronic device to dynamically present location-specific information while the portable electronic device is at a predetermined location are disclosed. In one embodiment, the portable electronic device has a display that can display the location-specific information and has wireless capabilities for use in receiving the location-specific information from the server. The location-specific information can, for example, augment other information that is to be presented on the display. In one embodiment, the location-specific information can be information pertaining to a media item being played in an establishment, such as a store, where the portable electronic device is located.
