Abstract:
A method includes inspecting a packet stream sent from a set-top box device via a network. The packet stream includes video content that is divided into a plurality of subsections. The method includes generating a plurality of signatures by applying a wavelet transform to each of the plurality of subsections, and determining a match between the video content and protected video content based at least in part on a comparison of the plurality of signatures to one or more stored signatures generated based on the protected video content.
Abstract:
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for calculating a capacity for high speed packet access data in a link in a communications network are disclosed. For example, the method initializes parameters associated with streaming data, long elastic data and short elastic data, determines, via a processor, a capacity value such that a quality of service metric is met for the streaming data, the long elastic data and the short elastic data and provisions the link with the capacity value if the quality of service metric is met.

Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for detecting distribution of multimedia content. The volume level of data traffic is monitored for a plurality of users to select any users with high-bandwidth usage. The time of day and the day of the week may be considered when determining whether a user is a high-bandwidth user. Upon selecting a user as one with high-bandwidth usage, such user may be subject to packet inspections of data traffic streams. In some embodiments, content identification parameters or watermarks are added to one or more packets in a data traffic stream carrying multimedia content.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving, by a server, a data transmission of video content destined for a data storage device. The method includes generating, by the server, a content signature by application of a wavelet transform to a plurality of frames of a time sequence of frames of the video content. The method includes selecting, by the server based on content metadata for the video content, particular prohibited content signatures from a plurality of prohibited content signatures. Each prohibited content signature of the particular prohibited content signatures corresponds to a wavelet transform of a plurality of frames of prohibited content. The method also includes, in response to a first determination that a first prohibited content signature of the particular prohibited content signatures matches the content signature, preventing transmission of the video content from the server to the data storage device.
