A method includes requesting, by a user device, video program related content. The video program related content includes content related to one or more video programs provided by a service provider. The method also includes receiving the video program related content. A selection of a video program from the one or more video programs is received. The video program is selected at a set top box. The method also includes controlling a viewing session for the video program using the user device.

摘要:
Methods and devices provide channel assignments of programs delivered in a mobile setting. The channel assignments include unicast channels, multicast channels, and broadcast channels. The channel assignments are based on one or more of the type of program, user viewership information, or user voting information. Additionally, methods and devices provide for handover between mobile service areas at the application layer. Programs are buffered based on a handover time. During the handover, the buffered portion of the program is played.

A mobile device may efficiently update a multi-layer graphic display by storing a background image representing an image of a graphic user interface displayed by the device but not including graphic elements that are in an active layer of the graphic user interface. The device may determine regions in the graphic user interface that previously corresponded to locations of the graphic elements and that no longer correspond to locations of the graphic elements; and issue one or more graphic commands to set the determined regions to be equal to corresponding regions from the background image.

A device is configured to receive a request for particular content metadata; determine, in response to the request, whether information associated with the particular content metadata is stored in a local memory; present the particular content metadata for display without contacting a server when the information has been stored in the memory for less than a first amount of time; present the particular content metadata for display and contact a server to obtain new content metadata when the information has been stored in the memory for at least the first amount of time and less than a second amount of time; and contact a server to obtain new content metadata, relating to the particular content metadata, and present the new content metadata for display when the information has been stored in the memory for at least the second amount of time.

A device receives, from a user device, a request to use a visual voicemail (VVM) application, directs the user device to a self provisioning server based on the request, and receives, from the self provisioning server, a selected VVM subscription plan and information associated with a user of the user device. The device also provides, to a billing system, a feature code associated with the selected VVM subscription plan, receives, from one or more voicemail servers, pre-existing voicemail messages associated with the user, and provides, to the user device, the pre-existing voicemail messages.
摘要:
An approach is provided to facilitate network connectivity and consumption of broadband services. A data network connection is established by a set-top box. Sharing of the data network connection by a plurality of user devices is permitted by the set-top box. A credit count is maintained based on the sharing of the data network connection by the plurality of user devices.
摘要:
A system configured to receive a first request to generate a pseudo identifier associated with a user device; retrieve an identifier associated with the user device; and generate, using a mathematical function, the pseudo identifier based on the identifier associated with the user device, where the pseudo identifier may be generated in a format corresponding to a telephone number. The system is further configured to send a second request to register the user device, where the second request may include the pseudo identifier; receive a confirmation code that permits the user device to access information, associated with the server device, without using the identifier associated with the user device or a telephone number associated with the user device; send a third request for information associated with the server device, where the third request may include the confirmation code; and receive the information associated with the server device.
摘要:
Video streams may be adaptively switched between multicast and unicast transmission over a wireless interface of a wireless network. A device may track a quantity of videos that are being streamed over the wireless network. The device may determine, based on the tracked quantity of videos, whether to dedicate a radio channel, of at least one cell in the wireless network, to streaming a first of the videos. The device may transmit, in response to a request, from a mobile device, for the first video, an identification of the dedicated radio channel so that the mobile device can receive the first video as a streaming video over the dedicated radio channel.
