Abstract: Methods for managing digital content include authenticating a user account identifier from a client device over a computer network, registering a telephone number for at least one wireless mobile device in a registry identified with the user account based on the authenticating, as a pre-authorized identifier for accessing digital content licensed for use with the client device. The methods include maintaining a library of digital content identified with the user account for access by the at least one wireless mobile device, and initiating streaming of the digital video content to the at least one wireless mobile device without requiring user authentication from the at least one wireless mobile device, based on the registering of the telephone number as the pre-authorized identifier. An apparatus for performing the method comprises a processor coupled to a memory, the memory holding instructions for performing steps of the method as summarized above.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for electronic content delivery of an electronic data file to be provided to a first client device may include a computer identifying two or more recipient client devices as members in a distribution group with the first client device. The computer may divide the electronic data file into two or more segments based on respective parameters for different transmission paths to the two or more recipient client devices. The computer transmits the two or more segments concurrently over the different transmission paths to the two or more recipient client devices. The computer may generate instructions for assembling the two or more segments to obtain the electronic data file, and transmit the instructions to at least one of the first client device or the two or more recipient client devices.
