摘要： A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for providing synchronous multiplayer games are presented. To begin, an enabling request for multiplayer functionality in a multiplayer instance that includes a single player mode game is received. The single player mode game may involve a game board dedicated to a first player. Then, the single player mode game of the multiplayer instance is matched with additional multiplayer instances. Each additional multiplayer instance includes a corresponding single player mode game dedicated to a respective player. The single player mode games from the multiplayer instance and the additional multiplayer instances are then instructed to initiate gameplay at substantially the same time. Final scores from the single player mode games from the multiplayer instance and the additional multiplayer instances are collected. A game summary page is finally communicated to the first player and the respective players.

摘要： A system, machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for switching between synchronous and asynchronous game modes is provided. A first game instance of a computer-implemented game of a first player and a second player is generated. The first game instance is generated in a first mode associated with the availability of the second player to play the game. First display data is provided to a client device of the first player to display the first game instance of the game in the first mode. A change in the availability of the second player is identified. A second game instance of the game is generated in a second mode associated with the change in the availability of the second player. Second display data is provided to the client device to display the second game instance of the game in the second mode.

摘要： Various embodiments of a system and method for message-based purchasing are described. The system and method for message-based purchasing may include a message-based purchase service configured to determine that a selection has been performed through a network-based interface. Such selection may be indicative of one or more items offered for sale via the network-based interface. The message-based purchase service may be configured to, in response to the selection of one or more items, send to a communication device, a message indicating a code corresponding to the selection. The message-based purchase service may receive from the communication device through a communication channel that does not include the network-based interface, a message including the code. The message-based purchase service may be configured to, in response to determining that the message received from the communication device includes the code, generate a purchase request for the one or more previously selected items.

摘要： Item scarcity resulting from a high demand of the item is addressed by providing users a high demand sale process. In some aspects, users may opt-in to purchase the item in a sale by transmitting a mobile message to a host over a mobile device network prior to a sale of the item. If the user is eligible, the host then attempts to purchase the item on behalf of the user once the sale begins.

摘要： Media enhanced mobile payments enable a user to make payments and payment requests that include additional media. The user may transmit a text-based message that may be used to update an account associated with a recipient. Additional media, such as a personalized voice recording, may be acquired by a host from the user, and may be associated with the text-based message. The additional media may be transmitted to the recipient identified in the text-based message. In some aspects, the text-based message may be a short messaging service (SMS) text message. Further aspects may include the host connecting to the user via a telephone call to record the personalized voice recording.

摘要： Various embodiments of a system and method for preventing large-scale account lockout are described. The system and method for preventing large-scale account lockout may include an account access control component configured to prevent fraudulent individuals from locking access to user accounts. The account access control component may lock access to an account after a lockout threshold is tripped. To prevent an account from being locked by fraudulent individuals, the account access control component may utilize a warning threshold. When the account access control component detects a number of incorrect authorization attempts equal to the warning threshold, the control component may perform various actions to prevent a fraudulent individual from locking an account holder's account, including, but not limited to, contacting the account holder through a registered communication channel to inform the user that the warning threshold has been reached or placing the account holder's account in a particular hold state.

摘要： Embodiments of a system and method for receiving task requests from unregistered devices are described. Embodiments may include a communication interface service configured to receive from a communication device a message indicative of a request to perform a task. The communication interface service may determine that the communication device is not registered with an existing account that provides information for performing said task. The communication interface service may obtain identification and authentication information for an existing account via a communication channel. The existing account may be an account for that is accessible via a network-based interface. The communication channel through which the identification and authentication information is received by the communication interface service may be any communication channel that does not include the network-based interface of the existing account. Additionally, the communication interface service may use the identification and authentication information for performance of the task using the existing account.
