    摘要: A delivery arrangement for linear TV programs uses SVC in which encoded enhancement layer video data is pre-downloaded to a STB and encoded base layer video data is live broadcasted to the STB at viewing time Pre-downloading of the enhancement layer data is done during off-peak viewing periods taking advantage of an abundance of network bandwidth while reducing bandwidth demand during peak viewing periods by broadcasting only the base layer data The enhancement layer data is downloaded in a modified MP4 file and stored in the STB for later synchronization and combination with the base layer, which is sent to the STB in a real time protocol (RTP) stream The combined base and enhancement layer data is SVC decoded for presentation to the enduser The pre-downloaded enhancement video file may be provided with digital rights management (DRM) protection, thereby providing conditional access to the enhanced video

    摘要: A search engine performs searches on displayed information to facilitate in limiting the search results and increasing relevancy. The search engine allows user inputs to influence a search boundary and/or a search result. The search boundaries and/or search results can also be influenced by social networking information and the like. The search results can be dynamically filtered by the search engine as the user enters in their search criteria. The searched information is limited to what is visually seen by a user on a screen/display device. This significantly reduces the displayed results and lets the user instantly see what their search parameters will yield.

    摘要: Robust Header Compression (ROHC) offers a way to compress packet header information for more efficient transmission of data. The compression is achieved through various confidence modes set up by the transmitter and the receiver. The Initialization and Refresh state (IR) is the first state of the compressor. This provides a complete, uncompressed context of the data that is being transmitted. In typically operation, the ROHC compressor will periodically transmit IR packets providing context information allowing the ROHC decompressor to decompress one or more packets following the IR packet. However, under certain conditions such as decompressor start-up, it is possible for the decompressor to miss an IR packet. Exemplary methods and apparatus are described in which a decompressor uses a later-received IR packet to decompress earlier packets for which the decompressor had not received context information.

    摘要: An apparatus encodes a signal for providing an MPEG-2 encoded signal having associated initialization data such as I-frames; and transmits the signal, wherein the transmitted signal occurs in bursts for conveying the MPEG-2 encoded signal, wherein each burst has a duration and occurs in a time slicing cycle, each time slicing cycle comprising at least the burst duration and an off-time, and wherein at least one I-frame is conveyed in a burst and repeated in every following burst until a new I-frame is received for transmission.

    摘要: A secondary screen device sends information relating to media content viewed on a primary screen device to the primary screen device. The information sent can be altered and/or unaltered information. The secondary screen device can send the information to the primary screen device automatically and/or manually via a user interface on the secondary screen device. In some instances, an intermediate device can be employed to relay the information from the secondary screen device to the primary screen device. The intermediate device can also process the information received from the secondary screen device before sending it to the primary screen device.

    摘要: An information processor determines what media content is currently and/or could be displayed on a primary viewing screen. The information processor then mines other sources of information to obtain associated information. This information can then be accessed by a user as raw data and/or further processed by the information processor and then accessed by the user. Typically, the associated information is displayed on a secondary screen. This allows, for example, an electronic programming guide to be enhanced with additional information.

    摘要: At a receiving device after a power-on or physical channel change, the physical channel is monitored for activity relating to services for which electronic service guide (ESG) data had been previously cached. The ESG data for a service will include some service identification information, such as an interne protocol (IP) address associated with the service. The monitoring of the physical channel for activity related to a service can be done by listening for the IP address associated with the service. If activity is detected, the service is determined to be active and its cached ESG data valid. Service acquisition data included in the cached ESG data is used to present the service to the user. The invention thus allows the presentation of services to the user using cached ESG data as soon as the services are detected to be active, without the need to wait for the reception of fresh ESG data. The cached ESG data of services for which no activity is detected is not used and may be deleted from the cache after a certain period.
