  • Patent number: 10410193
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for remotely controlling the distribution of digital assets to users in less-connected venues. When digital assets are cached within the less-connected venues, users within those less-connected venues are better able to consume the assets, and are therefore more likely to purchase rights to consume the assets. Users within a less-connected venue may purchase and consume assets while the target network is completely disconnected from the source network from which the digital asset distribution is controlled. Sessions that are initiated within less-connected venues may be transferred outside those venues, to allow users that have purchased assets to continue to consume those assets after they leave the less connected venues.
