    摘要: A method of determining demand for multimedia content in a multimedia provider network includes receiving a content demand statistics (CDS) request from a client application where the request identifies a subscriber set. Responsive to the CDS request, selected CDS data is retrieved from a CDS subsystem. The CDS data is indicative of demand for multimedia content among subscribers in the subscriber set. The retrieved CDS data is delivered to the client application. The selected data may be selected from past data, present data, and future data. The CDS request indicates a set of buddy subscribers and the messaging server retrieves CDS data associated with the buddy subscribers. A security subsystem may be accessed and to determine, prior to retrieving CDS data for a particular buddy subscriber, whether the particular buddy subscriber has authorized the requesting subscriber.

    摘要: Example methods and apparatus to communicate media across different networks are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves storing via a first network device in a first network a first descriptor in a first data packet. The first data packet is then communicated to a second network device in a second network. A second data packet is then received from the second network device, and the first descriptor is compared to a second descriptor from the second data packet. When the first descriptor matches the second descriptor, an internet protocol address of the second network device is communicated to a communication source to cause the communication source to bypass the first network device and to communicate data to the second network device without passing that data to the first network device.

    摘要: A method of delivering personal video content via a video head-end office is provided that includes receiving a personal video content upload request at a notification server from a first set-top box device. The personal video content upload request relates to personal video content to be uploaded from the first set-top box device. The method also includes receiving a personal video content sharing request at the notification server from the first set-top box device. The personal video content sharing request identifies a second set-top box device designated to receive the uploaded personal video content. In addition, the method includes sending notification information from the notification server to the second set-top box device. The notification information indicates a first option to store the uploaded personal video content at a data storage device and a second option to stream the uploaded personal video content to the second set-top box device upon selection of the second option.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for processing a communication request from a roaming VoIP terminal. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network proxy having a controller that manages a communications interface in a communication system. The controller can be programmed to receive from a Voice over IP (VoIP) terminal a request to communicate with a destination point, wherein the request comprises an identification (ID) of the destination point, an ID of the VoIP terminal, and a media access control (MAC) address of a gateway providing the VoIP terminal communication access to the network proxy, and determine from the MAC address of the gateway and the ID of the VoIP terminal whether the VoIP terminal is roaming outside of a home network. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
