摘要： Systems and methods of delivering video content are provided. A method of delivering video content is provided that includes predicting a channel change request at a network device. The predicted channel change request indicates a predicted stream of video content. The method also includes generating a control signal at the network device related to the predicted channel change request and storing the control signal at a data storage device associated with the network device. In an illustrative embodiment, the network device stores the control signal when the network device is associated with a first data capacity. Additionally, the network device sends a video content request to a service provider server when the network device is associated with a second data capacity. The video content request is related to the predicted stream.

摘要： Disclosed is a system and method of managing video content quality. The method includes receiving performance data at a video quality prediction system where the performance data is related to a plurality of network elements of a network path linking a video-head end with a set-top box device. The method also includes predicting, based at least partially on the performance data, a quality of video content received at the set-top box device and determining whether the predicted quality of video content is greater than or equal to a video quality threshold. In addition, the method includes identifying at least one of the plurality of network elements not satisfying a performance requirement, based on the performance data, when the predicted quality of video content is less than the video quality threshold. Further, the method includes outputting data indicating the at least one network element not satisfying the performance requirement.

摘要： Various embodiments of the inventive subject matter provide a framework that may be used to provide service level differentiation in an IPTV delivery system based on program content for any given television channel or programming. For example, for the same TV channel, different service levels may be offered and provided, with each level of service offering to individual subscribers. For example, in one embodiment service levels may be provided by varying the number and duration of commercials or the amount of display space afforded to commercials, value-added content and/or entertainment content in a particular channel. Accordingly, the systems and methods hereof allow service providers flexibility to provide IPTV advertisement and value-added content services. This service differentiation can be used to attract different levels of subscribers, increasing the penetration ratio of IPTV services, facilitate the delivery of effective advertisements to target subscribers, and/or increase revenue. In some cases, some subscribers will pay more money to watch TV with fewer ads and more value-added content. Other subscribers may be agreeable to watching more ads if they can receive TV for less money. Thus, providing customized live TV delivery service is may enable IPTV providers to improve penetration ratio and increase revenue.

摘要翻译： 本发明主题的各种实施例提供了一种可用于基于用于任何给定电视频道或节目的节目内容在IPTV传送系统中提供服务水平差异的框架。 例如，对于相同的电视频道，可以提供和提供不同的服务级别，每个级别的服务提供给个体用户。 例如，在一个实施例中，可以通过改变广告的数量和持续时间或提供给特定频道中的广告，增值内容和/或娱乐内容的显示空间的量来提供服务水平。 因此，本文的系统和方法允许服务提供商灵活地提供IPTV广告和增值内容服务。 这种服务差异化可以用来吸引不同层次的用户，提高IPTV服务的渗透率，促进向目标用户提供有效的广告和/或增加收入。 在某些情况下，部分订阅者会以更少的广告和更多的增值内容来支付更多的钱来看电视。 其他用户可能会同意观看更多的广告，如果他们可以接收更少的钱电视。 因此，提供定制的实时电视传送服务可以使IPTV提供商提高渗透率并增加收入。

摘要： A method of managing protected video content is presented that includes inspecting a packet stream received from a subscriber broadband interface, where the packet stream includes video content. The method also includes generating a signature based on the video content and comparing the generated signature with a stored signature corresponding to protected video content. In a particular embodiment, the method can include storing data indicating that the protected video content has been re-distributed from the subscriber broadband interface when the generated signature matches the stored signature.

摘要： Devices and methods are disclosed which relate to a wireless communications device comprising a wireless power transmission detector and a wireless power transmission indicator for displaying to a user the current level of wireless power transmission. A voltmeter and ammeter take readings from the wireless transceiver circuit while the wireless communications device is on. A power logic stored on a memory within the wireless communications device converts the readings into a wireless power transmission level. The wireless power transmission level is output to an indicator on the wireless communications device where a user can view it. Exemplary embodiments include a true battery life indicator on the wireless communications device. The true battery life indicator gives an amount of time a battery powering the wireless communications device will last at the current wireless power transmission level.
