1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile phone, a first request to access a digital credential assigned to a user account associated with the mobile phone, the first request initiated as a result of a user selection on the mobile phone to access the digital credential, the digital credential being redeemable at a selected exhibitor location to view a selected scheduled presentation of a digital movie, a license to access the digital movie having previously been assigned to the user account;
in response to receiving the first request, determining that either a current location of the mobile phone is outside of a predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location, or a remaining amount of time until a scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation transgresses a threshold amount of time, yielding a first determination;
in response to the first determination, presenting, on a display of the mobile phone, an obfuscated rendering of the digital credential, the obfuscated rendering being unredeemable at the selected exhibitor location to view the selected scheduled presentation of the digital movie;
after presenting the obfuscated rendering of the digital credential, determining that the current location of the mobile computing device is within the predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location and the remaining amount of time until the scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is less than the threshold amount of time, yielding a second determination; and

Abstract
A method for issuing digital credentials includes assigning a digital credential to a user account maintained by the digital content delivery system; receiving, from a mobile computing device associated with the user account, a first request for the digital credential; in response to receiving the first request: determining whether a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location, and determining whether a remaining amount of time until a scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is less than a threshold amount of time; and in response to determining that either the current location of the mobile computing device is outside of the predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location or the remaining amount of time until the scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is greater than the threshold amount of time, denying the first request.
