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 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.

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.

Methods, computer program products, and apparatuses are provided for allowing a user to communicate with a set top box and a media content server through a mobile communication device, such as a cellular phone. The user may be able to request and receive a customer specific interactive programming guide through the mobile communication device. The interactive programming guide may allow the user to search and record media programs, including sending recording commands to a set top box to record a particular media program. The interactive programming guide may also allow the user to order and receive media programs to the mobile communication device. Embodiments may provide a personal video recorder proxy server as an interface between the mobile communication device and the set top box and the media content server.

This disclosure details the implementation of methods, systems and computer program products for remote digital video recorder (DVR) interface provisioning (hereinafter, “DIP”). DIP systems allow for authentication, validation, and registration of users and/or user devices as well as management of identifiers associated with those users and devices. Through interaction with DIP systems, users may associate different devices with each other and/or with one or more underlying service systems and/or accounts to allow integrated use of multiple devices in association with those services. In one implementation, DIP systems may be employed to register one or more mobile and/or remote devices (e.g., mobile phones) with DVR systems to allow for remote manipulation of video recording schedules, content management, parental control management, and/or the like DVR features. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: providing a provisioning interface for display to a user, the provisioning interface including an interface element configured to receive a mobile device identifier; receiving a mobile device identifier input to the provisioning interface; receiving a local media receiver device identifier; querying a service account based on the local media receiver device identifier; retrieving a service account activation code based on the query; and storing the mobile device identifier in association with the activation code in a database.

A network device may include a memory to store an aggregate database. The aggregate database may store aggregate voicemail message information, the aggregate voicemail message information including voicemail message information associated with a first device number and voicemail message information associated with a second device number. The network device may include a receiver to receive, over a network, updated voicemail message information associated with the first device number and stored in a first database different from the aggregate database, and to receive, over the network, updated voicemail message information associated with the second device number and stored in a second database different from the first database and the aggregate database. The network device may include a processor to update the aggregate voicemail message information stored in the aggregate database based on the received updated voicemail message information associated with the first device number and based on the received updated voicemail message information associated with the second device number. The network device may include a transmitter to send the updated aggregate voicemail message information to a user device associated with the first device number.
