    摘要： Subject matter includes methods of using conventional set-top boxes that receive streaming video modulated on coaxial cable rather than over an IP-based LAN as nodes in a media network. In one implementation, an exemplary adapter is used to integrate a conventional set-top box into a media network. In one implementation, an exemplary filter is used to reserve frequencies for communications between a conventional set-top box and a hub and to prevent communications from leaving a media network. In one implementation, an exemplary content protection method provides a way of encrypting program content on the media network in a manner that a conventional set-top box can decode.

    摘要： Systems and methods for displaying Internet content associated with television programming. Content associated with a program included in the television programming is automatically displayed by a set top box. Before the broadcast of a program, listing information or EPG data is stored at the set top box. The listing information includes batch mode logical addresses or links. During the program, a viewer is notified about the link, and the content may be accessed and displayed concurrently with the program. In addition, real-time logical addresses or links, which are embedded in the program, may be extracted and the viewer is notified of these links. If both the real time and batch links are available, a determination is made according to pre-defined rules regarding which link is brought to the attention of the viewer.

    摘要： Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer program products, provide adjustments to advertisement impression estimates based on sampled data. According to one method, an estimated number of advertisement impressions is made based on the sampled data and the estimate is discounted to achieve a level of certainty that the resulting discounted estimate is less than the actual number of advertisement impressions. The amount of the discount can be determined based on a sampling error model of the sampling data.

    摘要： In interactive television, information from an information resource may be displayed along with television video in a synchronized fashion. When information is to be displayed at a point in the television video, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that identifies the information resource is broadcast along with the television video on a one-way broadcast communication channel. A receiver unit receives the URI from the broadcast channel. If the information resource identified by the URI is available locally (for example, is present in local storage on the receiver unit), then the receiver unit uses the URI to retrieve the information resource locally. If, on the other hand, the information resource is not available locally, then the receiver unit uses the URI to retrieve the information resource from the Internet. The information resource can therefore be received from a high speed source (for example, from VBI lines 10-20) if such reception is possible, but if such reception is not possible then the information resource can be retrieved. from another source (for example, from the Internet). Once the receiver unit has retrieved the information resource, the receiver unit can display the information along with the television video.

    摘要翻译： 在交互式电视中，来自信息资源的信息可以以电视视频同步显示。 当在电视视频中的某个点显示信息时，识别信息资源的统一资源标识符（URI）与电视视频一起在单向广播通信信道上被广播。 接收机单元从广播信道接收该URI。 如果URI识别的信息资源在本地可用（例如，存在于接收机单元的本地存储器中），则接收器单元使用该URI来本地检索信息资源。 另一方面，如果信息资源在本地不可用，则接收器单元使用URI从因特网检索信息资源。 因此，如果这样的接收是可能的，则可以从高速源（例如，从VBI线10-20）接收信息资源，但是如果这样的接收是不可能的，则可以检索信息资源。 来自另一个来源（例如，从互联网）。 一旦接收器单元检索到信息资源，接收器单元就可以显示与电视视频一起的信息。

    摘要： A method, performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, includes receiving respective first set-top box (STB) information from a first plurality of STBs. The first STB information received from a respective STB in the first plurality of STBs includes tuning information for the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs, and power status information for a respective display device coupled to the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs. The method also includes filtering the power status information, and determining a viewership metric for the first plurality of STBs based on the tuning information and the filtered power status information in the first STB information.
