摘要： Aspects of the disclosure relate to control of consumption of content in an appliance. The content can include linear programming and non-linear assets. Such control can permit (i) changing a channel in the appliance (e.g., a CPE without upstream functionality) and thus selecting a linear-programming asset, a non-linear asset, and so forth, and (ii) controlling consumption of such assets. In one aspect, a device with upstream network connectivity can control the consumption of media in the appliance. The device can leverage data management and control functionality of a service provider network to acquire information related to assets available for consumption and to transmit asset requests to the service provider network, which can transmit content and signaling to the appliance in accordance at least in part with the asset request, thus controlling media consumption in the appliance.

摘要： A communication terminal communicates protocol data units across a first virtual interface and a shared interface. The first virtual interface corresponds to an upper layer protocol and a first logical network. The shared interface corresponds to a lower layer protocol. The terminal also communicates protocol data units across a second virtual interface and the shared interface, with the second virtual interface corresponding to the upper layer protocol and a second logical network. The first logical network can be a wide area network that includes devices within a premises and devices outside a premises, and the second logical network may be a local area network that only includes devices within the premises.

摘要： Ways of sending data over a network over a single path or over multiple parallel paths on an as-needed basis depending upon network conditions, and/or other factors, are described. For example, if a computing device detects sufficient jitter and/or latency at one or more network interfaces, the data may be sent over two or more communication paths using two or more network interfaces.

摘要： Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for switching streams in response to detecting a start trigger are presented. A program's start trigger indicating that the program is upcoming may be detected on a first stream, and in response to detecting the start trigger on the first stream, a second stream containing the program may be switched to. The program may be a video program. Segment triggers may be detected and may be used to selectively record and/or delete segments of the program according to a priority scheme. Multiple start triggers may be detected at decreasing time intervals. The existence of a recording conflict may be determined based on a program's start trigger and a user may be alerted of the recording conflict.

摘要： Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced content are presented. Data including a first program, a first caption stream associated with the first program, and a second caption stream associated with the first program may be received. The second caption stream may be extracted from the data, and a second program may be encoded with the second caption stream. The first program may be transmitted with the first caption stream including first captions and may include first content configured to be played back at a first speed. In response to receiving an instruction to change play back speed, the second program may be transmitted with the second caption stream. The second program may include the first content configured to be played back at a second speed different from the first speed, and the second caption stream may include second captions different from the first captions.

摘要： Systems and methods for impairing video content to a user are described. Video content may be outputted to a user via at least one output device. Such video content may be video content associated with a video game. A determination may be made as to whether a simulated impairment to the video content is required. Upon determining that a simulated impairment is required, impaired video content may be outputted to the user via the at least one output device. The at least one output device may include an output device for the left eye of the user and an output device for the right eye of the user. The impaired video content then may outputted to the output device for the left eye while the video content, without simulated impairment, may be outputted to the output device of the right eye.

摘要： A system and method for improving media delivery and display. By utilizing a memory buffer in a DVR or similar device, and broadcasting linear content at a rate other than 1×, services like video on demand or regular broadcasters can be more versatile. For example viewers can start over without launching a separate VOD session. If part of the linear content requested is not in the buffer, a switched multicast stream can be sent to with the proper section of content. Other receivers on the network may also receive the stream and buffer the content if the content is related to what a viewer is viewing.

摘要翻译： 一种用于改善媒体传送和显示的系统和方法。 通过利用DVR或类似设备中的存储器缓冲器，并且以1×1以外的速率广播线性内容，诸如视频点播或普通广播者等服务可以更加通用。 例如，观众可以重新开始，而不启动单独的VOD会话。 如果所请求的线性内容的一部分不在缓冲器中，则切换的多播流可以被发送到适当的内容部分。 如果内容与观看者正在观看的内容有关，则网络上的其他接收器也可以接收流并缓冲内容。

摘要： A channel remapping pre-notification (RPN) message is transmitted in each of multiple frequencies prior to movement of data associated with one or more virtual channels to one or more different frequencies. The RPN message is also sent prior to transmission of a Virtual Channel Table (VCT) reflecting channel movement. If a receiving device is unable to find data associated with a selected channel subsequent to the channel movement, the stored RPN information can be used to identify a new frequency for that selected channel.

摘要翻译： 在将与一个或多个虚拟信道相关联的数据移动到一个或多个不同频率之前，在多个频率中的每一个中发送信道重映射预通知（RPN）消息。 在发送反映信道移动的虚拟信道表（VCT）之前也发送RPN消息。 如果接收设备不能在频道移动之后找到与所选择的频道相关联的数据，则所存储的RPN信息可用于识别所选频道的新频率。

摘要： Aspects of the disclosure relate to a remote control which may include one or more buttons configured to provide input to the remote control upon being activated, a transmitter for transmitting data, a receiver for receiving data, a processor and memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause the two-way remote control to perform a method for configuring repeat transmission behavior of one or more of the buttons of the two-way remote control. Further, the receiver may be configured to receive data from a device configured to be controlled by the remote control and the data may include instructions for configuring the repeat transmission behavior of the one or more buttons of the two-way remote control. Additionally, the two-way remote control may configure the repeat transmission behavior of the one or more buttons of the two-way remote control based on the data received from the device.
