Abstract: A communication device such as a smart phone is enabled for remotely controlling set-top boxes (STBs) over Internet protocol networks using an applet running on the communication device. Authentication from within a multimedia content distribution network may be achieved by verifying that a network identifier associated with the communication device is associated with an account that has granted access to the smart phone and that is associated with the controlled STB. A viewing pane on the communication device permits a user to remotely view content received on or available to the controlled STB.

Abstract translation: 使用诸如智能电话的通信设备能够使用在通信设备上运行的小应用程序通过因特网协议网络远程控制机顶盒（STB）。 多媒体内容分发网络内的认证可以通过验证与通信设备相关联的网络标识符与已授予对智能电话的接入并与被控STB相关联的帐户相关联来实现。 通信设备上的观看窗格允许用户远程观看受控STB上接收或可用的内容。

Abstract: Systems and methods of deferred multimedia content delivery are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes receiving a request from a first customer premises equipment (CPE) device to receive multimedia content. The method also includes selectively recording the multimedia content at a server based on a comparison of a measured bandwidth associated with the first CPE device and a bandwidth threshold. The method may also include delivering the multimedia content to the first CPE device from a network when measured bandwidth is available.
