摘要:
A method is provided for restricting or enhancing broadcast content access on a per-subscriber basis across a population of subscribers, all of whom have a valid content access key to such content, without necessitating changes to the current standard schemes and protocols for distributing content access keys and broadcasting the traffic keys associated with the broadcast data itself, and without trusting the application that processes the data. A method of handling a multimedia broadcast in a device comprises receiving broadcast content in a media stream encrypted using a traffic key, receiving the traffic key encrypted using a session key, and receiving broadcast attributes encrypted using the traffic key and the session key, wherein use of the media stream by the device is controlled using the broadcast attributes and using an access policy in the device.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, and method for transmitting data in a broadcast mode to multiple devices operating in a network. The invention enables the efficient utilization of bandwidth while providing a desired level of quality of service for the applications executing on the devices that utilize the broadcasted data. The invention utilizes a set of bandwidth constraints in combination with a set of heuristics and rules for the allocation and re-allocation of bandwidth among multiple applications in a manner that minimizes the impact on the quality of service metrics of importance to the affected applications when contention exists for the network resources. The present invention implements processes to cause the quality of service provided to each application to degrade smoothly, with certain priorities and guarantees being maintained. The present invention also provides event segmentation and reassembly functions for applications, and includes reliability mechanisms to increase the ability to provide data to client devices that have not been actively receiving for significant periods of time.
摘要:
Applications in a broadcast environment distribute events in real-time to a large number of receivers within specified geographic locations while efficiently sharing bandwidth resources with other applications using the same broadcast network. Applications need not be aware of the other applications sharing the resources, nor of the methods, protocols, and other mechanisms used to actually broadcast the data over the broadcast medium. Server-side applications that serve data, send notifications, or distribute events to specific locations within the network use a broadcast location manager. Client applications that receive such data, notifications, or events use a client location filter to obtain events that are relevant based on the location of the device. The broadcast location manager and client location filter work together to reliably and efficiently transmit data, notifications, and events to specific locations over the broadcast network for all applications involved.

A method and system for content recommendation make such recommendations possible, even if users are in different geographic locations, use different network service providers and different services, user different types of device, etc. A method for communicating a content recommendation comprises receiving a recommendation for content, the content recommendation originating from a first client device communicating using a first network and destined for a second client device communicating using a second network, determining access information for the second client device to access the content using the second network, and transmitting the determined access information.
