摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for displaying an electronic program guide in a 3D rendered landscape. Program blocks, each having a channel and a program time, are displayed as vertical blocks within the 3D rendered landscape. Channel information blocks are also displayed, one for each distinct channel of the program blocks. The EPG may be perused by navigating within the 3D rendered landscape. Flags are provided for highlighting program blocks which satisfy a user-specified criterion, such as favorite show. Perspective within the 3D rendered landscape allows many program blocks to be displayed, with program blocks for farther channels being compressed. The flags allow a user to see that there is a program of interest in the distance, and to navigate towards the associated program block in order to obtain further details.

摘要： The multimedia content delivery system is a low-cost enabler for many MPEG-based applications enabling the subscribers to play multicast MPEG streams. A plurality of files with MPEG encoded multimedia content are stored at a server and streamed to the subscribers using a multithreaded processing system (or MPEG sender). The sender operates in a snoop mode or in an open loop mode. In the snoop mode, a main thread performs an IGMP snoop looking for membership reports (leave, join, change channel), and configures a plurality of sender threads based on these reports. Each sender thread transmits a multicast data stream with encoded multimedia content from a respective file to a corresponding multicast address. In the open loop mode, the sender transmits multicast data streams to all multicast addresses continuously.

摘要： A server at the edge of a broadband network distributes multimedia content streams to clients, while ensuring that the first data delivered to each client is key data (milestones) needed for correctly decoding the stream content. This is obtained by buffering the packets in the incoming stream and transmitting the packets from the buffer in an outgoing stream, starting with the most recent milestone placed in the buffer before a request to join the respective incoming stream is received. As the writing to and reading from the buffer are performed at different rates, the incoming and outgoing streams are eventually synchronized, at which point the client may be switched to receive the incoming stream directly.

摘要： In a system that provides decoding of A/V streams, this invention reduces switching delays between different streams by modifying the Program Identification (PID) values of the Audio and Video data to respective PID values that are already known by the decoder. This technique allows the decoder to stay in a run state when switching between A/V streams, thereby reducing channel change times.

摘要： The PIP system enables display of a mosaic of favorite channels in a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) format to a subscriber terminal. Picture-in-Picture support is efficiently provided by sending only I-Frames of the secondary video channel to the end-user. That is, any unnecessary packets (null, B-P frames, audio, etc.) in the secondary video channel are stripped away. This method uses very little bandwidth and is STB agnostic.

摘要： Methods, devices and systems for providing content providers with a secure way to multicast their data flows only to legitimate end users. By making a specific decision for each potentially legitimate end user requesting a specific data flow, differing subscriber profiles may be taken into account. Furthermore, end to end encryption is avoided by having a switch and/or router control the specific data flow to a specific end user. Each end user sends a request DTU to the switch and/or router asking for permission to join a multicast group. The switch and/or router extracts identification data from the request data transmission unit (DTU) and determines whether the requesting end user is cleared for the requested specific data flow. This determination may be made by sending a query DTU containing the identification data to a policy server which checks the identification data against preprogrammed criteria in its databases. The policy server then sends a response DTU to the switch and/or router confirming or denying the authenticity or legitimacy of the request based on the identification data. In the meantime, after the switch and/or router sends the query DTU to the policy server, the switch and/or router allows the specific requested data flow to proceed to the requesting end user. If, based on the response from the policy server, the request is determined to not be legitimate or authentic, the specific data flow is terminated. If the request is legitimate or authentic, then the data flow is allowed to flow uninterrupted by the switch and/or router.
摘要翻译： 用于向内容提供商提供安全的方式，设备和系统，以仅将数据流多播到合法的最终用户。 通过对每个可能合法的最终用户请求特定数据流进行具体决定，可以考虑不同的用户简档。 此外，通过使交换机和/或路由器控制到特定最终用户的特定数据流来避免端对端加密。 每个终端用户向交换机和/或路由器发送请求DTU，要求加入组播组的权限。 交换机和/或路由器从请求数据传输单元（DTU）提取识别数据，并确定请求的最终用户是否被清除所请求的特定数据流。 可以通过将包含标识数据的查询DTU发送到根据其数据库中的预编程标准来检查标识数据的策略服务器来进行该确定。 然后，策略服务器基于识别数据向交换机和/或路由器发送响应DTU来确认或拒绝请求的真实性或合法性。 同时，在交换机和/或路由器将查询DTU发送到策略服务器之后，交换机和/或路由器允许特定请求的数据流进行到请求的最终用户。 如果根据策略服务器的响应确定请求不合法或可信，则特定的数据流将被终止。 如果请求是合法或真实的，则允许数据流由交换机和/或路由器不间断地流动。
