    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and related systems to manage preview segments to be shared with non-subscriber presentation devices. An exemplary method maintains a preview segment generated from content available at an authorized subscriber device, and associates the segment with access parameters maintained at the server system. The parameters regulate and restrict access to the preview segment by non-subscriber presentation devices having restricted rights to directly view or access the source content. The server system receives an access request from a non-subscriber presentation device. The access request includes a preview identifier of the preview segment and a device identifier of the requesting device, a user identifier of a user of the requesting device, and/or a network address of the requesting device. The request is processed to determine access parameters for the preview segment applicable to the requesting device, and access is granted or denied based on the determined access parameters.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for delivering messages from one or more service hosts to clients via a network. A first request identifying the client is received at the message server, and a connection is established and maintained between the message server and the client in response to the first request. When a subsequent request that identifies the client is received from the service host, a message is transmitted from the message server to the client over the previously-established connection. The methods and techniques may be used, for example, to provide messages from various services to placeshifting devices or other clients communicating via the network.

    摘要: Devices, systems and processes for providing geo-located and content-to-comment synchronized user circles are described. For at least one embodiment, a system for facilitating a geo-location based user circle may include a hub configured to facilitate a sharing of comments between a first user and a second user via a user circle. The first user and the second user may be selected for participation in the user circle based upon a circleID associated each of a first user device and a second user device. A first user device, communicatively coupled to the hub, may be configured to facilitate a capture of the comments provided by the first user. A second user device, communicatively coupled to the hub, may be configured to facilitate a presentation of the comments to the second user. And, a second device geoID may be used to indicate a location of the second user device.
