    Abstract: One embodiment takes the form of a method and apparatus for sharing a purchased pay-per-view (PPV) event over a plurality of set-top boxes (STB). Thus, a PPV event purchased through one STB may be viewed through every STB associated with the customer ID number of the purchaser, including an STB located in a separate location from the PPV purchaser. The customer information used to locate the STBs associated with the customer ID may be retrieved from a database or may be provided by a billing site. Providing for the purchaser to view the PPV event on several STBs may allow the customer of the PPV service maximum access to the purchased PPV event.

    Abstract translation: 一个实施例采用用于在多个机顶盒(STB)上共享购买的按次付费(PPV)事件的方法和装置的形式。 因此,可以通过与购买者的客户ID号码相关联的每个STB来查看通过一个STB购买的PPV事件,包括位于与PPV购买者分离的位置的STB。 用于定位与客户ID相关联的STB的客户信息可以从数据库中检索,或者可以由计费站点提供。 提供购买者在多个机顶盒上查看PPV事件可以允许客户的PPV服务最大限度地访问所购买的PPV事件。

    Abstract: One embodiment takes the form of a method and apparatus for creating a customer-specific encryption key for encrypting digital information. The encryption key may be based on a customer number and may be associated with several devices such that the devices may encrypt and decrypt the digital information. Because each device may have the same encryption key, the encrypted data may be encrypted by a first device, transferred from the first device to a second device and decrypted and read by the second device. Thus, encrypted digital information may be shared between devices that generate a customer-specific encryption key from a common customer number. In one embodiment, the customer-specific encryption key may be utilized by a set-top box of a television system to encrypt and decrypt a digitally recorded television program.

    Abstract translation: 一个实施例采用用于创建用于加密数字信息的客户专用加密密钥的方法和装置的形式。 加密密钥可以基于客户号码并且可以与若干设备相关联,使得设备可以对数字信息进行加密和解密。 因为每个设备可以具有相同的加密密钥,所以加密数据可以由第一设备加密,从第一设备传送到第二设备,并由第二设备解密和读取。 因此,加密的数字信息可以在从公共客户号码生成客户特定加密密钥的设备之间共享。 在一个实施例中,客户特定的加密密钥可以由电视机的机顶盒利用来加密和解密数字记录的电视节目。
