    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can evaluate collections of operational information received from one or more subscriber devices to determine one or more Quality of Experience (QoE) scores for the one or more subscriber devices and/or one or more subscriber premises that are associated with the one or more subscriber devices. Generally, the one or more QoE scores can represent one or more numerically quantitative measures relating to the facilitation of a service by a service provider system. In some embodiments, the one or more QoE scores can represent one or more numerically quantitative measures relating to the experience of one or more subscribers that are associated with the one or more subscriber devices. In these embodiments, the one or more QoE scores can represent numerically quantitative measures of the subjective experience, for example, satisfaction or unsatisfaction, of the one or more subscribers with the service.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes a communication environment having a service provider server that receives an audio command from a display control device within the communication environment. The service provider server can translate this audio command into an electrical command for controlling the display device. The service provider server autonomously performs a specifically tailored search of a catalog of command words and/or phrases for the audio command to translate the audio command to the electrical command. This specifically tailored search can include one or more searching routines having various degrees of complexity. The most simplistic searching routine from among these searching routines represents a textual search to identify one or more command words and/or phrases from the catalog of command words and/or phrases that match the audio command. The one or more searching routines can include more complex searching routines, such as a keyword search and/or a natural language search, of the catalog of command words and/or phrases to identify one or more command words and/or phrases from the catalog of command words and/or phrases that match the audio command.

    摘要: Embodiments include a system, method, and a computer program product for broadcasting a universal message to a plurality subscriber devices. Embodiments include generating a universal message comprising information identifying one or more target subscriber devices from among the plurality of subscriber devices to execute an update or an event, broadcasting the universal message to each subscriber device of the plurality of subscriber devices, receiving a request, from the one or more target subscriber devices, to transmit a payload when the universal message comprises instructions to execute the update, and transmitting the payload to the one or more target subscriber devices.

    摘要: In a cable network, embodiments detect and remediate a non-responsive customer premise equipment (CPE) device in a customer's premise with minimal or no interaction with a customer. Embodiments may detect and remediate a non-responsive CPE device without rebooting the non-responsive CPE device or the associated cable modem. Embodiments include troubleshooting a data link layer (e.g., Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 2, or media access control (MAC) layer) and a network layer (e.g., OSI layer 3, or Internet layer) between a service operator network and the non-responsive CPE device. Embodiments include a guided integration and a proactive integration method, computer program product, and system to reduce and/or eliminate the need for a customer service representative to reboot a cable modem, and/or for a customer to reboot a non-responsive CPE device resulting in a fast and less disruptive service experience for the customer.

    Flexible image repository for customer premises equipment

    摘要: The present disclosure describes an autonomous mechanism for implementing a flexible image repository that includes an image retrieval service and an image repository management application. The flexible image repository performs delta processing to provide a subset of stored images to a subscriber device when the image retrieval service receives an image update request. The subscriber device thus receives updates to the image repository in a manner that reduces bandwidth requirements at both the server and the client, allowing client-side images to be updated more frequently. A content manager may update the flexible image repository via the image repository management application, which tags images according to a naming convention prior to inserting the images in the image repository. The tags allowing the image retrieval service to serve a multitude of subscriber devices across disparate platforms, which may provide different interfaces and have disparate access requirements, API calls, or functional behaviors. The flexible image repository employs a caching layer to further optimize the retrieval and display of the images and further optimize the delta processing.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a system, method, and computer program product for dynamically altering message rates through a transport. The system, method, and computer program product continually operates a transport and analyzes trend data using a moving average of producer rates and consumer rates. Keeping message flow at an optimal rate as system conditions vary throughout time enables efficient delivery of messages through multiple subsystems and intermediary transports to the messages' manifold endpoints.

    摘要: A service provider network can enable subscriber of a service with capabilities of performing one or more trick playback modes, such as pause, play, stop, fast-forward, and/or rewind to provide some examples, on media content provided by a service provider network that is being presently viewed by one or more subscribers while abiding by current copyright laws. The service provider network can broadcast the media content to a subscriber device that is associated with the subscriber and can simultaneously store an exclusive copy of the media content being displayed by the subscriber device. And, the systems, methods, and apparatuses can time-shift the exclusive copy of the media content in accordance with the one or more trick playback modes and can unicast the time-shifted copy of the media content to the subscriber device to perform the one or more trick playback modes.

    摘要: An assembly for mounting a wireless access point includes a base panel configured to be mounted to a post and to support the access point. The assembly includes a shroud configured to at least partially surround the base panel, the access point, and the post. The assembly can also include an antenna support configured to support an antenna coupled to the access point and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. A method of mounting the access point to the post includes mounting, to the post, the base panel supporting the access point. The method also includes, after mounting the base panel to the post, coupling the shroud to the base panel such that the shroud at least partially surrounds the base panel, the access point, and the post.
