摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for managing signal delivery to a plurality of display platforms are disclosed. A system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention comprises a centralized database, and a plurality of points of presence, each point of presence in the plurality of points of presence coupled to the centralized database, each point of presence comprising a management service and a data cache, wherein the management service maintains a data session with a client based on a comparison of information stored in the data cache and a current client request, the management service further comparing the current client request with the centralized database when the client is denied signal delivery from the system.

主权项

1. A method for managing signal delivery to a plurality of display platforms, comprising:
logging a first client into a user account of a data provider; creating a first data session between the first client and a first point of presence, wherein:
during the first data session, the first client has access to data services and data associated with the user account;the first data session is associated with a first session ID; anda number of sessions that are active for the user account are controlled; storing the first session ID in a centralized database; receiving a request for data from the first client; and ensuring that the first data session is active based on a comparison of the request for data and the first session ID, wherein:
the comparison is based on a search of the local data cache of the first point of presence for the first session ID; andif the local data cache does not contain the first session ID, the comparison further includes a search of centralized database for the first session ID.
