摘要： A transcoding solution for enabling access to content in a home archive provides access to mobile and other devices through the use of a network based transcoding node. The user can specify a transcoding node in a content request so that the hosted content is received by the transcoding node, transcoded and then sent to the requesting node. Such use of network based transcoding service allows for dedicated transcoding equipment to be used removing the need for the end user to employ his own server.

摘要： Methods and systems for resuming, transferring or copying an IMS session associated with a first terminal or user at a second terminal in e.g., a same household are described. If a session is to be transferred, resource reservations associated with establishing a second IMS session for the transfer can be bypassed by informing the IMS system, either explicitly or implicitly, of the relationship between the terminals involved in the transfer. A controller can select a content server to support the resumed session and coordinate session identities associated with the selection.

摘要： A system and method for switching between content streams in a playlist makes use of a bookmarking and state information saving process to allow an intermediate node in an IPTV network to offer an enhanced user experience. By bookmarking a user position in a content stream before switching to a second content stream, the method and system allow the user to resume viewing the first content stream at a later point over the same user-side channel and at the bookmarked location. This can also provide the user with improved channel switching speeds.

摘要： A system and method for the automated discovery of advertisement decision services and advertisement management services employs an advertisement application server which receives the address of an advertisement management service from an IPTV Controller during the registration phase. The advertisement application server then begins the configuration process by informing the advertisement decision server of the availability of a new advertisement management service. Additionally, an OITF having an embedded ADM makes use of markers in a received content stream to identify the location at which an advertisement is to be inserted, requests and receives advertisements from an ADS, and renders a video stream based on the received content and the received advertisement.

摘要： A User Equipment (UE), a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and methods are provided for facilitating access to a second service (e.g. IPTV, IP Television) when the user registers with a network for a first service (e.g. IMS, IP Multimedia Subsystem service, or 2G mobile service). For example, the user employs his mobile terminal to register for IMS service, then requests a security token for the provision of the second service. The network validates the user subscription and provides the security token associated with the 2nd service, e.g. with IPTV. The user can input the security token for obtaining access to the 2nd service, e.g. from another terminal. For example, the user can input the token, e.g. in the form of a PIN code, on an ITF (IP Television Terminal Function) to be provided personalised IPTV service, or for performing IPTV parental control on his IPTV subscription involving multiple users.

摘要： An IPTV group profile is dynamically generated based on individual IPTV user profiles, whenever a user joins or leaves a shared IPTV session at an IPTV Terminal Function (ITF). The IPTV group profile may be implemented as a modification to the IPTV user profile of each user. In one embodiment, a “group” branch includes the additional access privileges and/or restrictions from the IPTV user profiles of other group members. The modified IPTV user profiles of users in the group are placed on a network entity such as an XDM Server (XDMS), to which the ITF subscribes via XCAP. As users join or leave a shared IPTV session at an ITF, the IPTV-AS updates the IPTV user profiles on the XDMS, which notifies the ITF of the changes. Each user's IPTV user profile at the ITF thus reflects group access privileges, preferences and restrictions for the duration of the shared IPTV session.

摘要： Systems and methods according to the present invention address this need and others by improving service within the telecommunications field for gateways. According to exemplary embodiments, a gateway stores policy information which it uses to determine whether access to a requested service is permissible. The gateway manages a single Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session capable of supporting multiple requests for service from different requesting sources.

摘要： There is provided a method and an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) content manager server for IPTV service. The server comprises a Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) stack adapted to request an establishment of a first RTSP session with an IPTV media server responsive to an IPTV service request from an Internet Protocol Television Terminal (ITF). The RTSP stack stores an identifier of the first RTSP session responsive to the request for the establishment of the RTSP session. Subsequently, the RTSP stack receives an RTSP session initiation message from the ITF requesting an establishment of an RTSP session. Upon receipt of the message, the content manager server authenticates the message, determines the existence of an existing RTSP session for the ITF, and thus acts to discard the session initiation message received from the ITF and to return the identifier of the first, already established, RTSP session.
