Ce dispositif de contrôle d'accès à un récepteur/décodeur (102) comporte diverses unités (324, 326, 328, 330, 332) pour soumettre à un accès conditionnel l'utilisation du récepteur/décodeur pendant au moins une plage horaire définie par un utilisateur.
摘要:
The invention concerns a smart card whereof the component includes a central unit (10), a code memory (16) wherein is stored an original code comprising at least a software bug which cannot be corrected, a data/code memory (14) in a zone (15) of which are stored a substitution code free of software bug, as well as the addresses of the software bug(s), a mechanism (11) for intercepting the central unit addresses which verifies the hardware addresses which are executed, wherein the mechanism (11) intercepting the addresses includes an address intercepting and substituting unit (12) which enables the central unit to be rerouted when it detects an address or a set of addresses of software bug and a data multiplexer (13) enabling either the memory code data (16) when there is no rerouting, or the data of the data/memory code (14) to be taken into account by the central unit (10). The invention also concerns a method for avoiding a software bug in such a smart card.
摘要:
This method of drawing in a window comprises a step of determining a window which may be affected by the drawing, and sending a signal instructing a client of the window which may be affected to redraw at least part of that window so that drawing affecting an overlaying window can be corrected. The method is preferably carried out by a receiver/decoder.
摘要:
A device for use in a receiver/decoder operable with different conditional access systems, the receiver/decoder including means for manipulating data received by the receiver/decoder according to a manipulation protocol which is configurable in dependence on the conditional access system, and means for storing parameters associated with the manipulation protocol, the device comprising: means for receiving a command instructing configuration of the manipulation protocol in dependence on the conditional access system; means for retrieving a parameter from the storing means in dependence on the command; and means for outputting said parameter to the manipulation means for use in configuring the manipulation protocol, whereby the manipulation means is not required to receive all parameters necessary to configure the manipulation protocol for all of the conditional access systems.
摘要:
A receiver/decoder is disclosed, essentially comprising means for receiving an audiovisual bit stream at a given input resolution, and means for selecting an output resolution to be applied to an output representation of the audiovisual bit stream.
摘要:
A receiver/decoder (2000) is disclosed comprising a host processor (2002), a co-processor (2004) and a communication channel (2006) for communication between the host processor and the co-processor. By providing two separate processors within the receiver/decoder, greater processing power and flexibility is provided. Preferably, the receiver/decoder further comprises a device, and the co-processor is adapted to run a low-level software process which manages the device. Preferably, the host processor is adapted to run a high-level application adapted to generate a control message, and the communication channel is adapted to transmit the control message from the host processor to the co-processor. By separating the internal functions of the receiver/decoder into high level applications and low level device management and providing the functionality on separate processors, greater independence from the low level aspects of the receiver/decoder can be provided to the applications.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a routing apparatus (8070) for routing data in a receiver/decoder. The routing apparatus comprises means for receiving realtime user routing control information (8092) and means for routing (8072) the data from an input (8010,8012) to an output (8078), to storage means, and to both the output and the storage means (2100) in accordance with the received realtime user routing control information. In other aspects, a command for controlling a data transfer of a bit stream between a source and a destination, where the command is adapted to change at least one of the source and destination of the transfer, and apparatus for receiving and processing data comprising means for receiving the data and means for synchronising the data in two or more different modes, are also disclosed.
