    Abstract: The described embodiments include a content provider device that can assign items of content (applications, digitally-rendered music, books, videos, etc.) to users upon receiving assignment messages from administrative devices. The items of content can be electronically transferred to the user's devices to be used by users. The content provider device can also revoke assignments of items of content from users upon receiving revocation messages from administrative devices. The revocation generally causes the loss of one or more rights to the item of content for the user. For example, the content provider device can stop providing services for the item of content and/or can cause the item of content to be deleted from a corresponding user's device.

    Abstract translation: 所描述的实施例包括在从管理设备接收到分配消息时可以向用户分配内容(应用程序,数字呈现的音乐,书籍,视频等)的内容提供商设备。 内容的内容可以被电子地传送到用户的设备以供用户使用。 内容提供者设备还可以从管理设备接收到撤销消息时,从用户撤销内容项目的分配。 撤销通常导致用户对内容项的一个或多个权限的丢失。 例如,内容提供者设备可以停止为内容项目提供服务和/或可以使内容项从相应的用户设备中删除。

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that delivers content to an electronic device. The system includes a content provider that obtains a public address of the electronic device from a first request for the content from the electronic device. Next, the content provider uses the public address to identify a local caching server on a local area network (LAN) of the electronic device. Finally, the content provider provides a local address of the local caching server to the electronic device, wherein the local address is used by the electronic device to obtain the content from the local caching server and the LAN without accessing a content delivery network (CDN) outside the LAN.

    Abstract translation: 所公开的实施例提供了将内容传送到电子设备的系统。 该系统包括内容提供商,其从电子设备的内容的第一请求中获取电子设备的公共地址。 接下来,内容提供商使用公共地址来识别电子设备的局域网(LAN)上的本地缓存服务器。 最后,内容提供商向电子设备提供本地缓存服务器的本地地址,其中电子设备使用本地地址从本地高速缓存服务器和LAN获取内容而不访问内容传送网络(CDN) 在局域网之外。

    Abstract: In the described embodiments, local caching servers (LCSs) are configured to cache content so that the content can be acquired by client electronic devices that are located on local area networks (LANs) with the LCSs. In some embodiments, to enable the acquisition of the cached content, a client electronic device sends, to a registration server, a request for identifiers for LCSs that are located on a LAN with the client electronic device. The request includes one or more “listen ranges,” each of which includes an indication of client electronic devices for which a corresponding LCS is to provide content. The registration server uses the listen ranges to select one or more LCSs, and returns identifiers for the one or more LCSs to the client electronic device. Using the one or more identifiers, the client electronic device acquires the content from an LCS via the LAN.

    Abstract translation: 在所描述的实施例中,本地缓存服务器(LCS)被配置为缓存内容,使得可以通过位于具有LCS的局域网(LAN)上的客户端电子设备来获取内容。 在一些实施例中,为了能够获取高速缓存的内容,客户端电子设备向注册服务器发送与客户端电子设备位于LAN上的LCS的标识符的请求。 请求包括一个或多个“监听范围”,每个监听范围包括对应LCS提供内容的客户端电子设备的指示。 注册服务器使用侦听范围来选择一个或多个LCS,并且向客户端电子设备返回一个或多个LCS的标识符。 使用一个或多个标识符,客户端电子设备经由LAN从LCS获取内容。

    Abstract: The described embodiments electronically deliver content (e.g., digitally-encoded files) to an electronic device using groups of accounts. In the described embodiments, a content provider obtains a public address of the electronic device and at least one account identifier for the electronic device from a request for the content received from the electronic device. Next, the content provider uses the public address to identify a local caching server (LCS) on a local area network (LAN) to which the electronic device is connected and uses the account identifier to determine that an account associated with the LCS is associated with a group of accounts with which an account for the electronic device is also associated. The content provider then provides a local address of the LCS to the electronic device, which uses the local address to obtain the content from the LCS via the LAN without accessing a content delivery network outside the LAN.
