A method for preventing digital content misuse can include detecting, by a client-side computing device, that the client-side computing device is paired to a viewing device such that, after being paired, the client-side computing device can cause digital content received from a remote server to be presented on a display of the viewing device; after detecting that the client-side computing device is paired to the viewing device, detecting, by the client-side computing device, that the client-side computing device has been unpaired from the viewing device; and in response to detecting that the client-side computing device has been unpaired from the viewing device, executing a remedial action.

Pairing devices to prevent digital content misuse

A method for providing an integrated service includes assigning a digital credential to a user account; receiving a request to schedule an integrated service in relation to the scheduled presentation of the digital content item; identifying, based on the digital credential assigned to the user account, the scheduled presentation of the digital content item; determining, based on the scheduled presentation of the digital content item, a set of available integrated services; providing, to the computing device, data identifying the set of available integrated services; receiving, from the computing device, a user selection of a first integrated service from the set of available integrated services; generating, based on data associated with the scheduled presentation of the digital content item, a service request to provide the first integrated service; and transmitting, to a remote server that provides the first integrated service, the service request to provide the first integrated service.

Backend service integration

A method for issuing digital credentials can include assigning a digital credential to a user account maintained by the digital content delivery system; receiving, from a mobile computing device associated with the user account, a first request for the digital credential; in response to receiving the first request: determining whether a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location, and determining whether a remaining amount of time until a scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is less than a threshold amount of time; and in response to determining that either the current location of the mobile computing device is outside of the predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location or the remaining amount of time until the scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is greater than the threshold amount of time, denying the first request.

Digital credential system

A method for issuing digital credentials includes assigning a digital credential to a user account maintained by the digital content delivery system; receiving, from a mobile computing device associated with the user account, a first request for the digital credential; in response to receiving the first request: determining whether a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location, and determining whether a remaining amount of time until a scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is less than a threshold amount of time; and in response to determining that either the current location of the mobile computing device is outside of the predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location or the remaining amount of time until the scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is greater than the threshold amount of time, denying the first request.

A method for selecting an alternative digital content item can include assigning a digital content license to access a first digital content item to a user account, the digital content license to access the first digital content item permitting a user of the user account to attend a scheduled presentation of the first digital content item at an exhibitor location; receiving, from a client device associated with the user account, a request to use the digital content license to attend a scheduled presentation of an alternate digital content item; determining that the digital content license to the first digital content item is eligible to secure a digital credential to attend a scheduled presentation of an alternate digital content item; identifying a set of alternate digital content items that can be accessed by the user; and providing, to the client device, data identifying the set of alternate digital content items.

Digital credential tiers

A method for preventing digital content misuse can include receiving, by a digital content delivery system, a request from a client-side computing device to access digital content maintained by the digital content delivery system; determining, by the digital content delivery system, that a number of times the client-side computing device has accessed digital content meets or exceeds a threshold number of times the client-side computing device is permitted to access digital content; and in response to determining that the number of times the client-side computing device has accessed digital content meets or exceeds the threshold number, denying the request and executing a remedial action.

Monitoring digital content usage history to prevent digital content misuse

A method for detecting digital content misuse can include clustering a set of data points into a set of known violator dusters; determining, based on the set of known violator clusters, that a first user account is potentially a digital content violator, the first user account being represented by a first data point that is not included in the first set of data points, and the first data point having been determined based on usage signal data describing digital content usage association with the first user account; and in response to determining that the first user account is potentially a digital content violator, executing a remedial action with respect to the first user account.

Detecting digital content misuse based on know violator usage clusters

A method for detecting digital content misuse can include clustering, by a digital content delivery system, a set of data points into a set of digital content usage clusters, each data point from the set of data points representing a unique user account from a set of user accounts maintained by the digital content delivery system, and each data point from the set of data points having been determined based on usage signal data describing digital content usage associated with the unique user account represented by the data point; determining, based on the set of digital content usage clusters, that a first data point from the set of data points is an outlier; and in response to determining that the first data point from the set of data points is an outlier, executing a remedial action with respect to a user account represented by the first data point.

Detecting digital content misuse based on digital content usage clusters

In some embodiments, a method for preventing digital content misuse can include receiving, by a client-side computing device, digital content from a remote server; determining, by the client-side computing device, a current location of the client-side computing device; determining, based on the current location of the client-side computing device, that the client-side computing device is outside of a predetermined geographic area in which the client-side computing device is authorized to present the digital content; and in response to determining that the client-side computing device is outside of the predetermined geographic area, executing a remedial action.

Monitoring location of a client-side digital content delivery device to prevent digital content misuse

A method for preventing digital content misuse can include presenting, by a client-side computing device, digital content that was received from a remote server; detecting, by the client-side computing device, a number of mobile computing devices that are within a geographic distance of the client-side computing device; determining, based on the number of mobile computing device that are within the geographic distance of the client-side computing device, that a number of users viewing the digital content exceeds a threshold number of authorized users associated with the digital content; and in response to determining that the number of users viewing the digital content exceeds the threshold number of authorized users associated with the digital content, executing a first remedial action.
