Abstract: Embodiments for a networked system that supports access to media assets as well as social interactions amongst users are disclosed. One aspect can pertain to a networked system and method for providing recommendations to users of the networked system. The networked system can provide media content and/or a social network to users. For example, the networked system can pertain to a media system incorporating social networking. The networked system can evaluate users and/or activities to determine when and to which users a recommendation should be provided. Another aspect can pertain to creation or editing of profiles. The profiles can be used with an online media system. A profile for a user can include information about users, including a media profile that represents the media interests of the user. The profiles can also facilitate social networking via the online media system.

Abstract: Improved approaches to electronically deliver digital assets to appropriate electronic devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user can purchase access rights to one or more digital assets from an online digital asset store, and then the one or more digital assets can be electronically delivered to one or more electronic devices associated with the user. Advantageously, different types of digital assets can be delivered to different electronic devices of the user, whereby limited resources of the different electronic devices can be used in a more intelligent manner.

Abstract: INTELLIGENT DELIVERY AND ACQUISTION OF DIGITAL ASSETS 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 form 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. 101-P752AU c *i c 0 L 0 1-3 0

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: The present technology resolves playlist version conflicts resulting from modifications made to a playlist version, stored on a client device and in a cloud locker, when the client device and the cloud locker are in a disconnected state. The present technology is a heuristic for determining how to resolve such version conflicts. Upon reconnection of the client and cloud locker, the server, associated with cloud locker attempts to reconcile any version discrepancies resulting from user-initiated changes. In one embodiment, when the server determines that one of the playlists on the client or server is a superset of the other, the superset is selected and saved to both the client and cloud locker, while the subset version is deleted.

Abstract: Improved techniques that facilitate use of podcasts are disclosed. The improved techniques can pertain to creating, publishing, hosting, accessing, subscribing, managing, transferring, and/or playing podcasts. According to one aspect, a client application can facilitate discovery of a podcast of interest from a plurality of podcasts, subscribe to the podcast of interest, and provide subsequent management of the podcast of interest. The management of the podcast of interest can include acquiring updated podcast data with little or no user interaction required. According to another aspect, some or all podcasts locally available to a client application can be copied (e.g., synchronized) with a portable media device so that the podcasts can be conveniently available and played by either the client application or the portable media device

Abstract: APPLICATION PRODUCTS WITH IN-APPLICATION SUBSEQUENT FEATURE ACCESS USING NETWORK-BASED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM An improved system, device and method for accessing locked (secured) features of digital products with assistance from a product distribution site are disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital product can be submitted to a product distribution site for network-based distribution. The digital product can be initially provided such that it provides base functionality but contains one or more locked features that, if unlocked, can supplement the base functionality. If the digital product that has been submitted is approved, the digital product becomes available at the product distribution site such that users can search, browse and purchase the digital product. Once the digital product has been purchased, download and installed on a user's computing device, the user is able to utilize the digital product. However, since the digital product itself includes one or more locked features, the user is not able to utilize such features until a subsequent purchase is performed. Advantageously, the subsequent purchase can be invoked from the digital product. In doing so, the digital product interacts (directly or indirectly) with a remote server (e.g., the product distribution site) to purchase access or usage for one or more of the locked features within the digital product. Once access or usage for the one or more locked features has been purchased, the one or more locked features within the digital product can be unlocked and thereafter utilized.

Abstract: Se dan a conocer técnicas y sistemas mejorados para el suministro y adquisición de recursos digitales. Las técnicas y sistemas son especialmente adecuados y útiles para suministrar recursos digitales (por ejemplo, recursos multimedia) que se encuentran disponibles para la adquisición y suministro electrónico de los establecimientos en línea a los dispositivos electrónicos. De acuerdo con un aspecto, cuando un recurso digital se adquiere de un establecimiento en línea mediante un dispositivo electrónico asociado con un usuario, el recurso digital puede disponerse para el suministro a una serie de otros dispositivos electrónicos también asociados con el usuario. Se apreciará que el recurso digital puede suministrarse y adquirirse sin requerir una señal de entrada del usuario o instrucción explícita de acuerdo con otro aspecto. Otros aspectos de las técnicas y sistemas incluyen la personalización de la configuración e interfaces de usuario que se proporcionan para facilitar la adquisición de recursos digitales en una forma más eficiente.
