摘要： A process for expanding a targeted service includes a subscription expansion application determining the information exchange services that an existing service user (ESU) uses. The application may then access the ESU's various contacts lists and/or address books to develop an initial list of prospective service users (PSUs). The ESU may specify which contact lists the application is authorized to access. The application may then filter the PSUs based on geographic availability of the targeted service. The application may then generate and send invitations to PSUs inviting PSUs to subscribe to the targeted service. The invitations may identify the ESU and may be sent electronically or by mail. The application may monitor new subscription requests attributable to an ESU's invitations. The ESU may be compensated by the service provider based on the number of new service requests. The compensation may include direct monetary compensation and/or reward points in an affinity program.
摘要翻译：用于扩展目标服务的过程包括确定现有服务用户（ESU）使用的信息交换服务的订阅扩展应用。然后，应用程序可以访问ESU的各种联系人列表和/或地址簿，以开发潜在服务用户（PSU）的初始列表。 ESU可以指定应用程序被授权访问的联系人列表。然后，应用程序可以基于目标服务的地理可用性来过滤PSU。然后，应用程序可以生成并发送邀请PSUs以邀请PSU订阅目标服务。邀请可以标识ESU，并可以通过电子邮件或邮件发送。应用程序可以监视归因于ESU邀请的新订阅请求。 ESU可以由服务提供商根据新的服务请求的数量进行补偿。补偿可以包括亲和力计划中的直接货币补偿和/或奖励积分。

摘要： A communication device such as a smart phone is enabled for remotely controlling set-top boxes (STBs) over Internet protocol networks using an applet running on the communication device. Authentication from within a multimedia content distribution network may be achieved by verifying that a network identifier associated with the communication device is associated with an account that has granted access to the smart phone and that is associated with the controlled STB. A viewing pane on the communication device permits a user to remotely view content received on or available to the controlled STB.
