Abstract
A method, computer program product, client, and server application configured to store information associated with a subset of users of a media distribution service in a memory. At least one distribution history data set is compiled for each member of the subset of users. The at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users are combined to form a combined distribution history data set. Information from the combined distribution history data set is transferred to a user electronic device.
Claims42
A method comprising:
- storing information associated with a subset of users of a media distribution service in a memory;
- compiling at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users;
- combining the at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users to form a combined distribution history data set;
- and
- transferring information from the combined distribution history data set to a user electronic device.
A method comprising:
- enabling a user to define a subset of users having at least one member, the at least one member being chosen from a plurality of users of a media distribution service;
- and
- enabling a user to view a combined distribution history data set, the combined distribution history data set being a combination of at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- store information associated with a subset of users of a media distribution service in a memory;
- compile at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users;
- combine the at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users to form a combined distribution history data set;
- and
- transfer information from the combined distribution history data set to a user electronic device.
A client, configured to receive media distributed from a server device, the client further configured to:
- enable a user to define a subset of users having at least one member, the at least one member being chosen from a plurality of users of a media distribution service;
- and
- enable a user to view a combined distribution history data set, the combined distribution history data set being a combination of at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users.
A server application running on a server operating system, the server application configured to distribute media to a plurality of users of a media distribution service, the server application being further configured to:
- store information associated with a subset of users of a media distribution service in a memory;
- compile at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users;
- combine the at least one distribution history data set for each member of the subset of users to form a combined distribution history data set;
- and
- transfer information from the combined distribution history data set to a user electronic device.
