Abstract: Systems, graphical user interfaces and methods for upgrading from one or more digital media assets to a set of digital media assets over a network are described. A potential purchaser can be notified of available upgrade opportunities that are available for purchase. The potential purchaser can elect to pursue an upgrade opportunity so as to purchase a set of digital media assets. Upon upgrading to the set of digital media assets, the digital media assets within the set of digital media assets are made available to the purchaser. According to one aspect, a graphical user interface facilitates presenting and requesting upgrade opportunities. According to another aspect, equivalency rules and/or eligibility rules can be used to control which sets of digital media assets are available for upgrade by respective potential purchasers.

Abstract: Improved techniques for controlling delivery (e.g., download) of application programs from a remote application repository to different client computing devices are disclosed. Application programs are often built to operate on computing devices that have certain hardware capabilities. Hence, application programs available for download from a remote application repository might not be suitable execution on all client computing devices that are able to access the remote application repository. The improved techniques for controlling delivery can operate to permit the applications to be received by only those client computing devices that have the required hardware capabilities to properly operate the application programs.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a method for providing user notifications related to the release of a movie or other media item. In some implementations, the method includes steps for receiving an interest signal for a user, the interest signal comprising a selection of one or more media items for which the user has indicated an interest; receiving a locations signal, the locations signal comprising location information corresponding with one or more of the user's preferred theatre locations, and searching, a media database to determine if any of the one or more media items is available to the user, wherein searching the media database is performed using the interest signal and the locations signal. Systems and computer readable media are also provided.
Abstract translation: 本公开涉及一种用于提供与电影或其他媒体项目的释放相关的用户通知的方法。 在一些实施方式中,该方法包括用于接收用户兴趣信号的步骤,兴趣信号包括用户已经表示兴趣的一个或多个媒体项目的选择; 接收位置信号,所述位置信号包括与所述用户的优选剧院位置中的一个或多个的对应的位置信息,以及搜索媒体数据库,以确定所述一个或多个媒体项目中的任何一个是否可用于所述用户,其中搜索所述媒体 使用兴趣信号和位置信号来执行数据库。 还提供了系统和计算机可读介质。

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to automatically download and install updates to applications installed on the mobile device. In some implementations, the automatic updates can be performed based on how the mobile device is connected to a network that provides access to the application updates. In some implementations, the automatic updates can be performed based on whether the mobile device has previously downloaded applications or application updates from a caching server. In some implementations, indicia can be presented on a graphical user interface of the mobile device to indicate which applications have been updated. In some implementations, an application update can be downloaded while the corresponding application is in use by the user. The application can be installed when the application is no longer being used by the user.

Abstract: A device (e.g., a phone) can be provided by an entity (e.g., a business) to a user (e.g., an employee). The device includes a profile manager that allows the user to configure a personal profile comprising any of applications, settings, and stored data. The device is also configurable with an entity profile determined by the entity that also may include applications, settings, and stored data. The user can select from operating modes comprising at least a personal mode, and a unity mode; an entity mode also may be available for selection. The profile manager, based on the selected mode, determines whether entity profile data and applications are available to the user, and which applications from either profile may conduct user-perceptible activities. The profile manager may periodically verify entity profile rights with a server, and if verification fails, then the profile manager can restrict entity profile data and applications access, regardless of operating mode.
