Problems solved by technology
Multi-channel media distributors are often unable to process requests due to the sheer volume that must be handled in such situations and the result is that many viewers either do not have access to the video at all or end up experiencing long delays without access to the video

Embodiment Construction
[0021] As discussed above, existing systems in which a multi-channel media distributor provides an authentication or authorization function for a media programmer cannot adequately detect that the availability of a multi-channel media distributor has been reduced. Embodiments for automatically identifying multi-channel media distributors with reduced availability for authentication or authorization are disclosed. For example, an entitlement service located in a data network between a programmer and a multi-channel media distributor analyzes the data traffic containing the multi-channel media distributor and uses the analysis to determine whether the multi-channel media distributor is unavailable. The rights service compensates for this unavailability by temporarily providing the user with access to the media content during periods of unavailability. This allows user equipment to access media content from the programmer without being affected by the unavailability of the multi-...

Embodiments are provided for automatically identifying reduced availability of multi-channel media distributors for authentication or authorization. For example, an entitlement service communicates with a multi-channel media distributor to authenticate viewers requesting content from programmers or to confirm that authenticated viewers are authorized to receive content from the programmers. The entitlement service receives requests for various programmers to provide media content to user devices, and transmits the requests to the multi-channel media distributor. The entitlement service determines a reduced availability of the multi-channel media distributor based on, for example, an unusually low success rate for authenticating users or authorizing the users' access to content access based on the transmitted requests. Due to this reduced availability of the multi-channel media distributor, the entitlement service provides the requesting user devices with temporary access to the media content from the programmers during a period in which the reduced availability occurs.
Description
[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is related to concurrently filed U.S. Patent Application No. _________ (Attorney Docket No. 058083 / 0964954 (P5735)), entitled "Automatically Determining Restored Availability of Multi-Channel Media Distributors for Authentication or Authorization," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety middle. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to computer-implemented methods and systems and more particularly to automatically identifying multi-channel media distributors with reduced availability for authentication or authorization. Background technique [0004] A multi-channel media distributor (eg, a cable company or other multi-channel video programming distributor) provides media content for multiple television channels or other media channels to users over a private network. The individual media content provided to users is typically provided by many different pr...
