    摘要: The invention includes a method and apparatus for delivering content to one or more content destination nodes. A method includes receiving content utility prediction information for a content item, selecting a content distribution mode for the content item using the content utility prediction information, and propagating the content item toward at least one of the content destination nodes using the selected content distribution mode and, optionally, with a defined priority, sequence, or schedule. The content utility prediction information is associated with the content destination nodes, and is indicative of a level of utility of the content item to the content destination nodes. The content distribution mode may include any content distribution mode, such as broadcast, switched broadcast, multicast, unicast, and the like. The content utility prediction information is received from one or more content prediction nodes. The content is distributed to one or more content destination nodes, which may include end user terminals and/or network-based caching nodes.

    摘要: The invention includes a method and apparatus for searching, selecting, delivering, and presenting content to a user. In one embodiment, a method receiving content selection criteria, determining a set of candidate content items by selecting ones of a plurality of available content items using the content selection criteria, and propagating ones of the candidate content items of the set of candidate content items for presentation to the user. The entry of the content selection criteria is adapted for being controlled from a rich user interface. The presentation of the propagated ones of the candidate content items is adapted for being controlled from a simple user interface. The rich user interface and simple user interface may be part of one user device or separate user devices. The content selection criteria may include one or more rule sets, which may be defined and executed in many ways.

    摘要: In various exemplary embodiments, a method for the distribution of content within a network of constrained capacity uses distributed content storage nodes functioning to achieve optimal service quality and maximum service session capacity. The method, which functions in unicast, broadcast, switched broadcast, and multicast mode networks, uses predictions of the utility of particular content items to download or record the highest utility items to distributed content stores during periods and in modes that will not increase demand peaks. These predictions of utility may be based on, for example, the number of potential users, the likelihood of their use, and the value to the service provider. The method uses signaling between network nodes to identify the best source for particular content items based on which nodes hold that content and the nature of network constraints.
