| 20100306083 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE CONFIRMATION OF DOWNLOAD DELIVERY AND ITS USE WITHIN A CLEARINGHOUSE SERVICE - Systems and methods for the tracking and reporting of the progress, status and completion of the delivery of digital assets, through a network such as the Internet and/or a wireless network, to an end-user device such as a computer or a handheld device, captured by a database that serves as a clearinghouse for multiple parties who are interested in the knowledge provided about the digital asset delivery status and completion. Consequently, the described systems and methods, acting as a centralized clearinghouse of asset delivery transactional data, assist merchants, content owners, and other business stakeholders in determining when the transaction with a consumer is fully complete and associated fees can be exchanged between consumer and merchant as well as between merchant and content owner and other stakeholders. Furthermore, the systems and methods are for management and reporting of the consumer's behavioral trends, inclusive of many data points that can be correlated in order to establish content access credentials, business rules, fees, recommendations, and other parameters that can be put to use by merchants, content owners, and other stakeholders to improve the consumer experience and to offer consumers additional services, including additional entitlement to said digital asset, or a refund for failure to deliver, as the case may be. | 12-02-2010 |
