    摘要： A subscriber terminal includes a receiver for receiving a television signal including video, audio, and data information. A channel of the television signal may be selected for display on the television. A memory stores channel identification information such as channel identifiers. The channel identifiers include at least one display character. A processor establishes a relationship between channel identification information and channel numbers associated with channels of the television signal. An on-screen display control circuit controls the display of character information on the television and has the capability of overlaying the channel number and the channel identification information on the video portion of a selected channel displayed on the television for a predetermined period of time. Program identification information such as program titles may also be displayed. Alternatively or additionally, the channel identification information may be displayed on a display such an LED display of a subscriber terminal.

    摘要： The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for providing a cable TV system with the ability to issue information from a system manager, determine whether the information is intended for a set top designed to receive out-of-band information or in-band information, send the information to the appropriate circuitry. Reformatting of some information is necessary and is performed by a format translator. For in-band information, information may be sent over one or more of a plurality of data streams. Certain types of information are sent over one or more data streams based on the type of information and characteristics of the data streams. It is further disclosed that for efficiency, similar information intended for several addresses is grouped together in a database manager so that the information may be sent to plural addresses at one time. Scramblers are employed with the capability of inserting data onto nonscrambled channels.

    摘要： In order to provide higher efficiency of security in sync suppression scrambling of subscription TV signals, the signals are encoded with a timing pulse having a selected time delay relationship with the suppressed horizontal sync intervals of the TV signals. The timing can be implemented digitally by selecting a plurality (e.g., 12) of different timings. The timing can also be dynamically varied. The TV signals are descrambled by restoring the sync pulses at only those receiving stations authorized to receive the premium subscription programming which have circuits for generating restoring pulses with the selected time relationship upon reception of the timing signals. Accordingly, the use of unauthorized descramblers, which are insensitive to the timing signals or do not provide the restoring pulses in proper time relationship, is discouraged.

    摘要： A reprogrammable subscriber terminal of a subscription television service which can have the control program code of its control processor modified by downloading new program code from the headend. The control processor stores a boot program in an internal read only memory. Upon start up and resets, the boot program determines whether the control program should be changed from a command sent from the headend. The command, termed a parameters transactions, includes the number of expected download program code transactions required to complete the control code modification, the memory space areas where the code is to be loaded, and the channel over which the download program code transactions are to be transmitted. The channel is tuned and when the boot program receives all the download program code transactions accurately and stores them, the boot program will cause the control program to be restarted at a selected address of the new or modified control program code which has been downloaded. The boot program may download code to different configurations of subscriber terminals including those with Flash EPROM or extended memories from plug-in expansion modules.

    摘要： A technique for preventing replay attacks on digital information distributed by network service providers. At the beginning of a subscription period for a service, a network service provider sends entitlement messages to the subscriber which provide the subscriber for the service with a session key and authorization information. The authorization information specifies a service and a period of time. When an encrypted instance of a service is distributed on the network, it is accompanied by a series of entitlement control messages. Each of the messages includes a value which can be used with the session key to obtain a control word for decrypting the encrypted instance and a time specifier. The subscriber equipment which decrypts the instance of the service does so only if the time specifier in the entitlement control message specifies a time within the time period specified by the authorization information.

    摘要： Viewer preference adjustment of saturation is realized in a VIR controlled color television receiver by provision of a closed loop control circuit exclusive of the RGB matrix. During the presence of the VIR signal a control signal is generated within the closed loop that controls the chrominance to luminance ratio of the chrominance and luminance signals applied to the RGB matrix and to the blue matrix contained within the closed loop. Adjustment of the level of either the luminance signal or the chrominance signal applied to the blue matrix affects the control signal which in turn adjusts said chrominance to luminance ratio to compensate and thereby brings about a shift in the levels of the red, green and blue signals outputted by the RGB matrix to change the saturation of the color picture.
