Abstract: Systems and techniques for modifying a subsection of uploaded media are presented. An instruction component receives a media file and a media enhancement instruction that includes enhancement data and media interval data for a first segment of the media file. A processing component modifies the first segment of the media file associated with the media interval data based on the enhancement data to generate an edited first segment of the media file. A finalization component generates an edited version of the media file that includes the edited first segment of the media file and at least a second segment of the media file that is not modified based on the enhancement data.

Abstract: A single code can be used only one time by each of multiple users. A user visits a merchant location and wants to sign up for a loyalty program. The merchant issues the user a one-time code, such as a QR code. The user connects to a loyalty program system to download the loyalty application. The user downloads the loyalty application and enters the code into the application. The user receives a “punch” for the loyalty program based on the code. The server operating on the loyalty program system verifies that the punch created is the first and only punch created by the one-time code. If the code has been previously used for the particular user, the server does not create an additional punch.
