摘要： Systems and methods are presented for presenting advertisements to users of a fantasy sports contest application. Advertisements are displayed in conjunction with fantasy sports contest information and may be interactive in nature. The advertisements may be used to inform the user of prizes being awarded for performance in the fantasy sports contest, including prizes being awarded for performing in an instant scoring opportunity based on real-time action in a related sports broadcast. The advertisements may be intelligently scheduled around certain events in a related sports broadcast to take advantage of user purchasing habits. The advertisements may be selected according to a user profile. The user profile may include information on the user's demonstrated interests, which may be determined using the user's preferences in the fantasy contest, prior television viewing habits, and other suitable information. The advertisements may be targeted to the user's specific geographic location. The advertisements may also be used to inform a user of an awarded prize, and to enable the user to claim the awarded prize.

摘要： In an embodiment, a server determines to update at least one group session key (GSK) parameter for a given multicast group, the at least one GSK parameter configured to permit encryption, decryption and/or authentication of multicast messaging exchanged between members of the given multicast group during a multicast communication session. The server sends a notification to a plurality of multicast group members of the given multicast group that an update of the at least one GSK parameter for the given multicast group is available. At least one of the multicast group members receives the notification and sends a provisioning request to retrieve the updated at least one GSK parameter, the provisioning request including information specific to the given multicast group member. The server generates and encrypts the updated at least one GSK parameter and sends the encrypted at least one GSK parameter to the at least one multicast group member.

摘要： Systems and methods for integrating graphic animation technologies with fantasy sports contest applications are provided. This invention enables a fantasy sports contest application to depict plays in various sporting events using graphic animation. The fantasy sports contest application may combine graphical representation of real-life elements such as, for example, player facial features, with default elements such as, for example, a generic player body, to create realistic graphic video. The fantasy sports contest application may provide links to animated videos for depicting plays on contest screens in which information associated with the plays may be displayed. The fantasy sports contest application may play the animated video for a user in response to the user selecting such a link. In some embodiment of the present invention, the fantasy sports contest application may also customize animated video based on user-supplied setup information.

摘要： In the present system three methods are provided for establishing trust between an accessory device and a host device, without placing trust in the device/host owner, so that content protection for subscriber-based mobile broadcast services is provided. That is, a secure link may be established between the accessory device and the host device so when the accessory device receives encrypted content via a forward link only network, the accessory device may decrypt the content at the forward link only stack and then re-encrypt it or re-secure it using the master key or some other derived key based on the master key (or the session key) and then send it to the host device which can decrypt it play it back.

摘要翻译： 在本系统中，提供三种方法用于在附件设备和主机设备之间建立信任，而不对设备/主机所有者进行信任，从而提供对基于订户的移动广播服务的内容保护。 也就是说，可以在附件设备和主机设备之间建立安全链路，因此当附件设备经由仅前向链路网络接收加密的内容时，附件设备可以在前向链路堆栈处解密内容，然后重新加密 或者使用主密钥或基于主密钥（或会话密钥）的其他派生密钥重新安全，然后将其发送到可以解密的主机设备回放。
