Techniques are described for managing the generation, style, and/or distribution of digital contact cards. An organization may access a card management platform and upload style information for digital contact card(s). Style information may include an arrangement and/or layout of the card(s), an organization name and/or logo to be included on the card(s), the font, color, size, or other characteristics of the text on the card(s), and so forth. A user may access the platform to request the distribution of a digital contact card to recipient(s). In response to the request, the platform may generate a digital contact card for the user based on the previously specified style information, and distribute card(s) to the specified recipient(s). Techniques are also described for determining positions of various mobile devices (and associated users) in a room or other area, and presenting received contact card information in a user interface according to the determined positions.

A method and apparatus for unit-based licensing for third party access of digital content are provided. Unit-based licensing for third party access of digital content may include receiving a request for access to content, the request for access indicating the customer account and a third party, identifying a cardinality of assigned units for the content, identifying a cardinality of available licensing units allocated to the customer account, determining, by a processor, whether the cardinality of the assigned units is within the cardinality of available licensing units, outputting a response indicating that the request is granted on a condition that the cardinality of the assigned units is within the cardinality of available licensing units, and outputting a response indicating that the request is denied on a condition that the cardinality of the assigned units exceeds the cardinality of available licensing units.
