    Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts to access content items assigned to the other user accounts in the group of linked user accounts. Prior to completing a purchase for a content item, a requesting user can be alerted that a member of the group of linked user accounts has access to the content item. Content items assigned to a member of a group of linked user accounts can be downloaded by one or more other members of the group of linked user accounts along with a Digital Rights Management (DRM) key that enables use of the content item. The DRM key can represent the group relationship between the downloading user account and the content owner's user account to which the content item is assigned.

    Abstract translation: 一个或多个用户帐户可以链接在一起以形成一组链接的用户帐户,以访问分配给链接的用户帐户组中的其他用户帐户的内容项。 在完成对内容项目的购买之前,请求用户可以被警告该链接的用户帐户组的成员可以访问该内容项目。 分配给一组链接的用户帐户的成员的内容项可以被连接的用户帐户组的一个或多个其他成员以及能够使用内容项的数字版权管理(DRM)密钥一起下载。 DRM密钥可以表示下载用户帐户与分配内容项目的内容所有者的用户帐户之间的组关系。

    Abstract: A media channel can include a mix of media items and invitational content packages. At some point during the playback of the media channel, an invitational content package can be presented. In response to detecting the occurrence of an interactive segment triggering event during the presentation of the invitational content package, an invitational content interactive segment and a next media item can be simultaneously presented. This can be accomplished by splitting the media channel into multiple streams, such as an audio stream and a visual stream, and presenting an element of the interactive segment within a first stream and an element of the media item within a second stream. To decrease the likelihood that a user may equate the invitational content with the media item, a bumper content item, such as audio that says, "now back to the music," can be presented just prior to playback of the media item.

    Abstract translation: 媒体频道可以包括媒体项目和邀请内容包的组合。 在播放媒体频道的某个时刻,可以呈现邀请内容包。 响应于在呈现邀请内容包期间检测到交互式段触发事件的发生,可以同时呈现邀请内容交互区段和下一个媒体项目。 这可以通过将媒体信道分成多个流(例如音频流和可视流)并且在第一流内的媒体项目的第一流和元素内呈现交互式段的元素来实现。 为了降低用户可以将邀请内容与媒体项目相等的可能性,可以在播放媒体项目之前呈现保险杠内容项,例如说“现在回到音乐”的音频。

    Abstract: To generate a media station, a client device can receive a candidate media item playlist and media playback rules corresponding to the media station. When a new media item is needed for the media station, the client device can apply the media playback rules to a next media item in the list of candidate media items. The playback rules can be used to determine whether the next media item is currently eligible for playback. Additionally, the client device can receive a candidate invitational content item playlist and invitational content playback rules corresponding to the media station. In response to detecting an invitational content triggering action, the client device can apply the invitational content item rules to the candidate invitational content item playlist to select at least one invitational content item to present in the media stream.

    Abstract translation: 为了生成媒体站,客户端设备可以接收对应于媒体站的候选媒体项目播放列表和媒体播放规则。 当媒体站需要新的媒体项目时,客户端设备可以将媒体播放规则应用到候选媒体项目列表中的下一个媒体项目。 播放规则可用于确定下一个媒体项是否有资格播放。 此外,客户端设备可以接收与媒体站对应的候选邀请内容项目播放列表和邀请内容播放规则。 响应于检测邀请内容触发动作,客户端设备可以将邀请内容项规则应用于候选邀请内容项目播放列表,以选择要呈现在媒体流中的至少一个邀请内容项目。

    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 translation: 当客户端设备和云存储器处于断开状态时,本技术解决了对存储在客户端设备和云存储器中的播放列表版本的修改产生的播放列表版本冲突。 本技术是一种用于确定如何解决此类版本冲突的启发式技术。 在重新连接客户端和云存储器后,与云端锁相关联的服务器会尝试调整由用户启动的更改导致的任何版本差异。 在一个实施例中,当服务器确定客户端或服务器上的一个播放列表是另一个的超集时,超集被选择并保存到客户端和云存储器,同时子集版本被删除。

    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 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.

    Abstract: The subject technology provides for synchronized playback of different media content streams. The disclosed techniques may include determining, while certain audio content is being outputted, whether a triggering event has occurred at a media device. Responsive to a determination that the triggering event has occurred, audio information including identification information and a current output status of the audio content may be obtained, and a visual content stream for visual content corresponding to the audio content may be obtained. At the media device, the visual content stream may be processed based on the audio information to determine a starting time point indicating a time point within the visual content from which to start outputting the visual content. The visual content may be outputted such that the output of the visual content begins at the starting time point and is synchronized in time with the audio content.
