    Abstract: A network device receives a unique device identifier (UDID) associated with a mobile device belonging to a user, and content channel subscription information associated with the user, and stores the UDID and the content channel subscription information in a database. The network device receives the UDID and a channel identifier (ID) from a content application executing at the mobile device, and accesses the database with the UDID and the channel ID to verify the user's subscription to a content channel identified by the channel ID. The network device sends, if the user's subscription to the content channel is verified, a channel permission and a timestamp, to the mobile device, such that the mobile device is able to access content at a content provider corresponding to the channel ID prior to an expiration time that is based on the timestamp.

    Abstract translation: 网络设备接收与属于用户的移动设备相关联的唯一设备标识符（UDID）以及与用户相关联的内容频道订阅信息，并将UDID和内容频道预约信息存储在数据库中。 网络设备从在移动设备处执行的内容应用接收UDID和信道标识符（ID），并且使用UDID和信道ID访问数据库，以验证用户对由信道ID标识的内容信道的订阅。 如果用户对内容信道的订阅被验证了移动设备的信道许可和时间戳，则网络设备发送，使得移动设备能够在内容提供商之前访问对应于频道ID的内容 基于时间戳的到期时间。

    Abstract: A device may provide a video content item for display and receive a request to share the video content item with another device for a synchronized playing of the video content item by the device and the other device. The device may generate a stream of the video content item based on a point within the video content item currently played by the device and transmit the stream to the other device to synchronize playing of the video content item by the device and the other device. The device may obtain information identifying a particular point within the video content item currently played by the other device, determine a synchronization point, in the video content item, based on the obtained information, and update, based on the synchronization point, to synchronize the stream. The device may transmit the synchronized stream, to the other device, to re-synchronize playing of the video content item.
