A technique that can be implemented by the digital asset repository, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from a first application executing on the first computing device, a request to access information associated with a second application managed by the digital asset repository, wherein the request: (i) is transmitted in response to a selection of a user interface that is displayed by the first application and that relates to the second application, and (ii) includes a set of parameters that is provided by a remote server and that specifies at least one utilization requirement pertaining to the second application; (2) receiving, from the second application, an indication that activity associated with the second application has been performed; (3) determining, based on the indication, that the at least one utilization requirement is satisfied; and (4) providing the set of parameters to a metrics manager executing on a second computing device.

The embodiments set forth techniques for managing advertisement attributions. A first technique can be implemented by an 'app store' application, and include the steps of (1) receiving, from a first user application, a request to view a second user application, where the request includes a set of digitally-signed parameters that are specific to an advertising campaign (provided by an advertisement network) for the second user application that is presented by the first user application. In turn, and in response to identifying that the second user application satisfies at least one criterion, the app store application provides the set of digitally-signed parameters to an advertisement metrics manager that: (i) verifies the set of digitally-signed parameters, and (ii) indicates, to the advertisement network, that business logic should be carried out in association with the first user application and the second user application. A second technique for managing advertisement attributions is also disclosed.

Techniques for managing advertisement attributions while preserving user privacy

Embodiments described herein provide a security model and interface for wearable device digital purchases that can be made without the assistance of a companion device. The satellite device can be configured to be used as a primary device, without reliance upon a paired device. A provisioning process may be implemented to generate and validate one or more tokens to authenticate the wearable device and a set of cryptographic keys can be generated. Subsequently, the token(s) and cryptographic keys may be used to enable a user of the wearable device to make purchases from a digital shopping store without support from an associated companion electronic device.

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for enabling an activity using a computer system. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for invoking an activity associated with an application are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for customizing displayed content based on circumstances under which the content was invoked are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing applications that were used to enable activities are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing settings for applications used to enable activities are described.

User interfaces for enabling an activity

System, method and computer program that encompasses one or more client devices cooperating with a program host's on-line data processing center for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant. Accordingly, there is a transmission from a program host to a program participant of identification of at least one recommended-for-purchase media item selected based on the recommended-for-purchase media item being rated as similar to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of the program participant. The rating of the recommended-for-purchase media item as being similar to the designated media item presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant is representative of a frequency at which the recommended-for-purchase media item co-occurs with the designated media item in media libraries of others.
