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: A computing device provides methods and workflow for setting up a shared family account on a content storage system, including the creation of accounts for child family members. A computing device supports the creation of a family account using an account on the content storage system associated with an adult family member acting as a family organizer. The family organizer can designate a specific account as a purchase account for allowing other family member to purchase content from content servers associated with the content storage system. The family organizer can invite other adult family members to join the shared family account. The family organizer can create new accounts on the content storage system for child family members, and can designate access and purchase restrictions for such child family members. Family members have access to shared storage content, as well as services such as family calendar, group messaging, and device location.

Abstract translation: 计算设备提供在内容存储系统上设置共享家庭帐户的方法和工作流程，包括为儿童家庭成员创建帐户。 计算设备支持使用与作为家庭组织者的成年家庭成员相关联的内容存储系统上的帐户来创建家庭帐户。 家庭组织者可以将特定帐户指定为购买帐户，以允许其他家庭成员从与内容存储系统相关联的内容服务器购买内容。 家庭组织者可以邀请其他成年家庭成员加入共享的家庭帐户。 家庭组织者可以在儿童家庭成员的内容存储系统上创建新帐户，并可以为这些儿童家庭成员指定访问和购买限制。 家庭成员可以访问共享存储内容，以及家庭日历，群组消息传递和设备位置等服务。

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.
