Method And Apparatus For Authorization Of Customer Premises Equipment

US Patent:
2011030, Dec 15, 2011
Filed:
May 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/118084
Inventors:
Michael Youssefmir - Portola Valley CA, US
Philip R. Wiser - Nevada City CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 9/32
US Classification:
726 4
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for requesting content over a public network is described. A customer premises equipment (CPE) can receive a time-varying signal over a private broadcast network. The signal can be used to generate authorization information on the CPE for content access over the public network. When a request for content that must be served over the public network is made at the CPE, the validity of the authorization information can be verified before the request is sent to the content delivery system.

Method And Apparatus For Content Delivery

US Patent:
2011030, Dec 15, 2011
Filed:
May 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/117996
Inventors:
Michael YOUSSEFMIR - Portola Valley CA, US
James Vincent Burmeister - Tamarac FL, US
Philip R. Wiser - Nevada City CA, US
Blair Leavell - Weston FL, US
Michael W. Brown - Plantation FL, US
International Classification:
H04N 7/173
US Classification:
725 89
Abstract:
A method for recording linear content and delivering it for time-shifted viewing is described. The linear content may be recorded live by the content delivery system in response to user requests. The content delivery system divides the recording into at least two portions, the first portion of sufficient duration to permit real time continuous playback of the recorded content on the customer premises equipment (CPE) if the first portion has previously been transmitted to the CPE and the second has not been transmitted. The content delivery system transmits the first portion to the CPE prior to playback, and the second portion is streamed to the CPE after playback has begun. The playback is under control of the CPE from local storage.

US Classification:
725 97, 725 71, 725 44, 725 8
Abstract:
A system for and method of transmitting audio and visual programming content, by identifying an amount of broadcast transmission capacity available for transmitting the content to one or more users. The content is separated into at least first and second portions based on user demand for the content and/or the identified available broadcast transmission capacity. The first portion of the content is transmitted, to a receiver/STB associated with at least one of the users, using the identified broadcast transmission capacity; and the second portion of the content is transmitted to the receiver using transmission other than broadcast transmission. The content can include nonlinear content. Transmission other than broadcast transmission can include unicast transmission, which can be in response to a user request and/or an initiation by a server. The received nonlinear content can be stored at the receiver for play back at a time different from the time of transmission.
