摘要： A method intercepts correlation instructions related to a plurality of meta-content elements associated with a primary content. The primary content or the meta-content elements may have associated privacy rules. At least one meta-content element of the group is selected as having privacy protected information specified in the privacy rules. A set of meta-content items, of meta-content element, are determined that are subject to a correlation restriction based on evaluation of the privacy rules with respect to each meta-content item contained in the meta-content element, and the privacy rules for the set of meta-content items are enforced. The privacy rule enforcement may involve preventing execution of the correlation instructions, excluding the selected at least one meta-content element from a correlation based on the correlation instructions, excluding the set of meta-content items from a correlation based on the correlation instructions, or restricting access to a correlation result based on the correlation instructions.

摘要： A disclosed content rights management system defines a content usage policy via a conditional rule set contained in metadata. The conditional rule set is correlated to at least one second content. An access control manager determines, dynamically, access rights conferrable to a user device or a server, based on the content usage policy and user history parameters. The embodiments may confer limited access rights for a first activity by a user device, or by a server, with respect to the protected content and the second content, and block a second activity with respect to the protected content and the second content, in response to determining that the request for the second content, in conjunction with the user history parameters, does not comply with the conditional rule set for the second activity.

摘要： One disclosed method includes receiving correlation instructions related to a plurality of meta-content elements that are associated with a primary content. The primary content may be multimedia content such as, but not limited to, an audiovisual content. The method includes performing a correlation in response to receiving the instructions. The correlation is between the meta-content elements, where the meta-content elements each have an arbitrary granularity defining meta-content segments. The method returns a result based on the correlation. Another disclosed method include receiving a request having correlation instructions related to a plurality of meta-content elements, where the meta-content elements are associated with a primary content. Again, each meta-content element has an arbitrary granularity defining meta-content segments. The method includes determining, in response to receiving the request, a composite of meta-content segments of the plurality of meta-content elements, based on the correlation instructions.

摘要： A method (1000) and apparatus (110) determine a multimedia representation for a multimedia asset. The method includes receiving (1020) a multimedia asset request for a multimedia asset at a multimedia representation broker (110). The multimedia asset request is received from a specific client device (120). The multimedia asset request includes client device information about the specific client device (120). The method determines (1030), at the multimedia representation broker (110), a multimedia representation for use in providing the multimedia asset to the specific client device (120) based on the client device information and based on media representations appropriate for a client device context of the specific client device (120). The method outputs (1040) multimedia representation information corresponding to the multimedia asset for the specific client device (120) based on the determined multimedia representation.

摘要： A streaming content-on-demand service provider (400), upon receiving (301) from a remotely located content consumer (100) an on-demand request (406) for present delivery of a particular identified item of streaming content, allocates (303) a multicast address/port to which a multicast stream (411) comprising the streaming content will be provided. The content consumer (via, for example, a corresponding client platform) can then use this multicast address/port to receive the particular identified item of streaming content. Such an approach will serve to permit the initiation of a new stream of content to serve an initial request for such content. This approach will also permit, if desired, late joiners to begin receiving, mid-stream, content that has already begun streaming in response to an earlier client request for such content.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for displaying multimedia feeds. The method comprises receiving a plurality of multimedia feeds and, for each of the plurality of multimedia feeds, acquiring a value of a metric and displaying, on a common display, the plurality of multimedia feeds. The metric is variable and its value for a particular multimedia feed and for a particular time is dependent upon either events occurring within that particular multimedia feed at or before that particular time or upon a rating (by one or more entities), at that particular time, of that particular multimedia feed. The multimedia feeds are displayed on the common display such that a first feed is displayed in a manner different from the manner of display of a second feed, the first feed having a first metric value, the second feed having a second metric value, and the first and second metric values being different.

摘要： An audio-visual content service provider (200) processor (201) receives (102) an end user (203) selection of at least one particular Internet media content channel via an audio-visual content service provider-end user interface. The audio-visual content service provider then provides (103) on-demand access to this at least one particular Internet media content channel to this end user as a selectable viewing channel along with other televised audio-visual content channels. By one approach, the audio-visual content service provider can receive the described end user selection via a browser-based interface.

摘要： Both an XML schema and XML instance data as correspond to an XML document are provided (301). The XML schema is processed (302) apart from the XML instance data to provide resultant compressed XML schema data while the XML instance data is processed (303) to provide a corresponding XML instance table. The latter is compressed (304) to yield a resultant compressed XML instance table. Following receipt of such items, the compressed XML instance table is decompressed (403) to provide a resultant XML instance table with the latter being used (404), along with the XML schema, to facilitate a corresponding XML document process.
