A system includes a memory associated with a first virtual environment that stores data objects associated with a user. The memory is coupled to a processor configured to receive a user credential associated with the user and authorize the user to access the first virtual environment. The processor receives a request from the user to enter a second virtual environment accessible through the first virtual environment and generates a virtual pass for a first avatar of the user to enter the second virtual environment. The processor receives a request to perform a transfer of a selected amount of a first type data object and transfers the selected amount of the first type of data object from the memory to the second virtual environment. The processor receives an indication that the transfer is completed and deletes the selected amount of the first type of data object from the memory.

Managing virtual data objects in virtual environments

Devices, system, and methods are disclosed for provisioning devices over a cloud network in accordance with modifications to operational settings of a media playback system. In example embodiments, a first playback device is configured to identify a change to a property of an operational setting of the media playback system at a first geographic location of the media playback system, and based on the identified change, (i) locally provision itself in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting, (ii) cause a cloud computing device located outside of the media playback system to be provisioned in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting, and (iii) cause the cloud computing device to initiate provisioning of a second playback device at a second geographic location in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting at the first geographic location.

Distributed provisioning of properties of operational settings of a media playback system

An apparatus for sorting and ordering data based on filtering parameters comprises a memory operable to store a digital folder and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive a transmission comprising verification of an interaction session established between a first user and an entity and to receive file information corresponding to one or more files stored in the digital folder from an external exchange. The processor is further configured to generate a file vector comprising the one or more files of the digital folder that is sorted based on applying a selection factor to the received file information for each of the one or more files. The processor is further configured to send a transmission to a user device comprising the file vector and an indication to utilize a first file of the file vector during the interaction session.

System and method for determining a volatile file based on a selection factor

Devices, system, and methods are disclosed for provisioning devices over a cloud network in accordance with modifications to operational settings of a media playback system. In example embodiments, a playback device is provided that is configured to identify a change to a property of an operational setting of the media playback system. Based on the identified change, the playback device is configured to locally provision itself in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting, cause at least one additional playback device to be provisioned in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting, and cause a cloud computing device located outside of the media playback system to be provisioned in accordance with the identified change to the property of the operational setting.
