摘要： The disclosure is directed to systems, apparatus, and methods for online purchasing. In one example, a system includes a web server that presents purchase options and receives user input. The system may also include an application server that attempts to authenticate users to existing accounts using an account identifier, such as a user ID or email address. If a user does not provide an identifier corresponding to an existing account, the application server may create a new account. If the user provides an identifier corresponding to an existing account, but does not provide a valid password, the application server may create a provisional account. The application server may also associate purchases with the user's account and provide access to the purchased product. Purchases associated with a provisional account may be resolved with an existing or newly-created permanent account when additional user information is received, such when the product is registered.

摘要翻译： 本公开涉及用于在线购买的系统，装置和方法。 在一个示例中，系统包括呈现购买选项并接收用户输入的web服务器。 系统还可以包括使用诸如用户ID或电子邮件地址的帐户标识符来尝试向现有帐户认证用户的应用服务器。 如果用户不提供与现有帐户相对应的标识符，则应用服务器可以创建新帐户。 如果用户提供与现有帐户相对应但不提供有效密码的标识符，则应用服务器可以创建临时帐户。 应用服务器还可以将购买与用户账户相关联并提供对所购买产品的访问。 与临时帐户相关联的购买可以在收到附加用户信息时，例如在注册产品时，使用现有的或新创建的永久账户来解决。
