System, method and computer program that encompasses one or more client devices cooperating with a program host's on-line data processing center for making purchase recommendations of media items to a program participant. Accordingly, there is a transmission from a program host to a program participant of identification of at least one recommended-for-purchase media item selected based on the recommended-for-purchase media item being rated as similar to a designated media item presently contained in an inventory of a media library of the program participant. The rating of the recommended-for-purchase media item as being similar to the designated media item presently contained in the inventory of the media library of the program participant is representative of a frequency at which the recommended-for-purchase media item co-occurs with the designated media item in media libraries of others.

Embodiments described herein provide a security model and interface for wearable device digital purchases that can be made without the assistance of a companion device. The satellite device can be configured to be used as a primary device, without reliance upon a paired device. A provisioning process may be implemented to generate and validate one or more tokens to authenticate the wearable device and a set of cryptographic keys can be generated. Subsequently, the token(s) and cryptographic keys may be used to enable a user of the wearable device to make purchases from a digital shopping store without support from an associated companion electronic device.

The subject technology receives information related to usage of a set of applications during a first period of time. The subject technology determines a first subset of the set of applications, where each application in the first subset is associated with at least one session having a duration greater than a first threshold amount of time. The subject technology determines a second subset of the set of applications, where each application in the second subset is associated with at least two sessions having an aggregate duration greater than a second threshold amount of time. The subject technology determines a set of values corresponding to respective allocation amounts for the first and second subsets of the set of applications. The subject technology allocates, to each respective developer of each respective application in the first and second subsets of the set of applications.

The embodiments set forth techniques for managing advertisement attributions. A first technique can be implemented by an “app store” application, and include the steps of (1) receiving, from a first user application, a request to view a second user application, where the request includes a set of digitally-signed parameters that are specific to an advertising campaign (provided by an advertisement network) for the second user application that is presented by the first user application. In turn, and in response to identifying that the second user application satisfies at least one criterion, the app store application provides the set of digitally-signed parameters to an advertisement metrics manager that: (i) verifies the set of digitally-signed parameters, and (ii) indicates, to the advertisement network, that business logic should be carried out in association with the first user application and the second user application. A second technique for managing advertisement attributions is also disclosed.
