Network configured for delivery of content for download to a recipient

Network systems and processes for delivery of electronic content to recipient processors may be configured to facilitate the delivery of relatively large content items and / or a relatively large number of content items. In one example, a movie rental system and process delivers (downloads) movie files to customers across the Internet. System network architecture includes three or more layers of servers, including a main server supporting an interface for recipient processors to request content items, a plurality of parent servers, and a plurality of edge servers. Edge servers are distributed throughout a region in which the system provides content delivery services to recipient processors. Parent servers, spaced across the service region, support edge servers. A copy of each content item available through the service is distributed from the main server to each parent servers for storage. Parent servers distribute content to edges servers, pursuant to instructions from the main server or requests from the edge servers. The main server receives and processes requests for content items from recipient processors and directs recipient processors to edge servers for obtaining requested content items. The main server also authenticates licenses and publishes rules for the distribution of content items.

Virtual world avatar control, interactivity and communication interactive messaging

Methods and systems for rendering an interactive virtual environment for communication is provided. The interactive virtual environment is depicted from images to be displayed on a display and the interactive virtual environment is generated by a computer program that is executed on at least one computer of a computer network system. The interactive virtual environment includes one or more virtual user avatars controlled by real-world users. The method further includes controlling a virtual user avatar to move about a virtual space and generating an interface for composing a message to be displayed as a virtual message within the virtual space. The virtual message is posted to an interactive space within the virtual space. The method further includes associating permissions to the virtual message, such that the permissions define which of the one more virtual user avatars are able to view the virtual message that is posted to the interactive space. The virtual message is one of a plurality of virtual message posted to the interactive space, and the permissions prevent viewing of the virtual message by virtual user avatars that do not have permission to view the virtual message. The permissions may be based on one of buddy lists, game familiarity relative to other real-world users, skill level of other real-world users, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the avatars can be computer controlled bots, thus not requiring a real-world user to dictate control.

Payment system and method

Using a single source money management system customers may automate their committed spending. A money management account and a discretionary fund account are established in response to a customer's request to participate in the system. A financial institution receives money on a periodic basis from a customer's predictable payment system. The money is then deposited/transferred to the money management account, retained in the money management account as required for bill payment, and/or deposited/transferred into the discretionary fund account if it is “excess.” Bills are paid on a customer determined schedule directly from the money management account using the money retained in the money management account. A loan account may also be established in response to a customer's application for a loan account. A financial institution grants a loan for a loan purchase in response to a customer's application for a loan purchase. The system and/or the financial institution handles payment for the loan purchase and repayment of the loan from the loan account from the money management account. The present invention may include a secure internet shopping system that includes a vendor web system and a financial institution web system. Each vendor offers goods and/or services. The financial institution web system permits customer authorization of payment to a selected vendor.

System and method for rapid response network policy implementation

A system and method for rapidly responding to triggering events or activities in a network system. The system includes a policy enforcement function, a policy manager function, and one or more network devices of the network system. The policy enforcement function includes one or more installed policy sets and/or policy enforcement rule sets suitably responsive to triggering events or activities. Upon detection of a trigger, the policy manager function analyzes the trigger and selects one or more appropriate policy sets and/or policy enforcement rule sets deemed to be responsive to the trigger. Each set has a unique rapid response identifier. The policy manager function signals for implementation of the one or more policy and/or rule sets, based on one or more rapid response identifiers, which are enforced through the policy enforcement function. The policy enforcement function may be a part of one or more of the one or more network infrastructure devices for implementing the policy change. The system and method enable rapid response to a detected trigger (which might be a manual input) by pre-installing responsive policy and/or rule sets first and then generating and transmitting the unique rapid response identifier(s) corresponding to one or more selected policy and/or rule sets for implementation. That is, the network device is already configured with a response through the pre-installed policy and/or rule sets. Responses may be implemented and/or removed gradually, and different network devices may be instructed to implement different policies in response to the same trigger and the same policy may be implemented with different policy enforcement rules on different devices, ports, or interfaces.
