  • Patent number: 10841109
    Abstract: A device may receive a request to access a bundling service that manages access to an over-the-top service provided by an over-the-top service provider. The device may receive information that identifies a third party service provider and a user credential associated with the third party service provider. The third party service provider may be different from the over-the-top service provider, and the third party service provider may not provide the over-the-top service. The device may provide an authentication request, including the user credential, to a third party device associated with the third party service provider. The device may receive an authentication response from the third party device. The authentication response may indicate whether the third party device successfully authenticated the user credential. The device may selectively provide access to the bundling service based on receiving the authentication response.

For example, scores for the digital content types may be determined based on the actions, and the particular digital content type and the benefit may be determined based on the scores. The digital coupon may be directly provided to the user (e.g., sent to the user's set-top box) or to a third party, such as an operator of a kiosk distributing physical media.
