    摘要: A method of providing access to content is described and includes receiving a selection of content. The method includes determining whether access is allowed to the content. A PIN entry screen is presented at a television. Further, a request permission soft button is presented at the television. When a correct PIN is received, access is provided to the content. The method also includes receiving a request for permission to access the content. Particularly, the request for permission is received after the request permission soft button is selected. Also, the method includes determining whether a guardian is available to receive the request for permission. The request can be transmitted to an end user terminal of the guardian after determining that the guardian is available. The method can also include indicating that access to the content is denied after determining that the guardian is not available.

    摘要: A method of displaying an interactive display at a set top box (STB) device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a media content stream. The media content stream includes a first content segment and a second content segment, where the second content segment is received at the STB device after the first content segment. The method also includes displaying a first interactive display, where the first interactive display includes at least one field to receive user input. The method also includes displaying a second interactive display after displaying the first interactive display but before displaying the second content segment. The method also includes performing a user-designated transition with respect to the second content segment based on a user input received via the second interactive display.

    摘要: A method of providing performance data is disclosed that includes sending a data packet from customer premises equipment to a set-top box device via a network path at a transmission rate. The transmission rate is based on Network Layer performance metrics associated with the network path. The method also includes receiving performance data at the customer premises equipment from the set-top box device. The performance data relates to Physical Layer measurements. In addition, the performance data indicates a condition of a physical component of the network path.
