A system includes a hardware processor that executes a software code to receive an authorization request on behalf of a user for a stacked resource including resources offered separately by multiple resource providers, determine resource provider computers associated with the stacked resource, and send a look-up request including an electronic identity of the user to those computers, where the electronic identity is used as a look-up key for determining user attribute(s) of the user. The software code further receives the user attribute(s) from the resource provider computers, generates an accumulated access profile of the user based on the user attribute(s), applies the profile to a rules engine to determine a stacked access result, and routes the authorization request and the stacked access result to one of the resource provider computers, where that computer completes an authorization process for access to the stacked resource based on the stacked access result.

Dynamic authorization rule stacking and routing across multiple systems

Systems and methods are described for providing variable-length media clips based upon a received media stream. An exemplary system for providing media clips to users includes a database comprising a list of rules associated with a plurality of programs, as well as a first server and a second server. The first server receives information about a particular program being viewed by a media player and obtains rules from the database for the identified program that are transmitted to the media player. The second server receives a media clip of the particular program being viewed from the media player, wherein the media clip is created at the media player in accordance with the rules corresponding to the program, and subsequently makes the media clip available to the users.

Systems and methods for creating variable length clips from a media stream

A method for use by a system computer for granting access to a network resource includes receiving, in a first session, a first request for accessing the network resource, the first request including authorization information of a user of an access computer, initiating, while in the first session and using the first authorization information, a first authorization process with one or more authorization computers, and determining a failure relating to the first authorization process initiated with the one or more authorization computers. The method further includes, upon determining the failure, sending a second request indicating a temporary access token is to be delivered to the access computer in response to an access computer executing a session refresh for initiating a second session.

System resiliency with temporary access

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating an online advertising campaign based on one or more advertising campaign parameters and selecting an advertisement of the advertising campaign for presentation in an available advertising slot. The advertising campaign parameter(s) may include one or more product identifiers. Advertisements of the advertising campaign may be presented in advertising slots available on network resources such as product detail pages associated with the product identifiers.

Product detail page advertising

Systems and methods are provided for identifying instances of media programming available within a media distribution system. An exemplary method involves searching a listing of media programming available from a first content source using search criteria indicative of a desired media program to identify an instance of the desired media program available from the first content source, obtaining a target program identifier associated with the desired media program from that instance, identifying another instance of the desired media program in a second listing of media programming available from another content source using the target program identifier, and providing a combined search result that indicates availability of the desired media program from the content sources.

Identifying instances of media programming available from different content sources

Systems and methods are described for processing media programs for distribution on a network. Media programs are received from one or more sources and placed on a queue in an appropriate format. Programs are retrieved from the queue and processed by any number of servers to format the program and/or its metadata for distribution on the network.

Systems and methods for formatting media content for distribution

A method is provided for controlling multiple access to a network service to prevent fraudulent use of the network service. The method includes identifying an account access counter for an account using identification information received from a user at a first device using a network, wherein the user is requesting access to a service provided at a second device, and further wherein the account access counter is the number of service access sessions active for the account; comparing the account access counter to a maximum account access number, wherein the maximum account access number defines a maximum number of service access sessions allowed for the account; and providing the user at the first device access to the service at the second device if the account access counter is less than the maximum account access number.
