    摘要: A network-based device allows customers to receive television programming and to view summaries of the programming. A method of providing the summaries comprises: dividing a received program into program segments each identified by index marks, summarizing each program segment into summary segments identified by similar index marks, generating metadata files for delimiting a beginning and an end of summary segments and program segments, storing the summary segments and accessing the summary segments to supply the summary segments in lieu of program segments upon demand.

    摘要: A network ed system of multicast-unicast gateways receives multicast information from a multicast host. A first MUG receives a multicast session request from a unicast host. The first MUG sends a message to other MUGs with a unicast host identifier. Each MUG that receives the message determines if it is designated to serve as the multicast-unicast gateway for the requesting unicast host. A MUG is designated if it is disposed to more efficiently act as a multicast-unicast gateway for the requesting unicast host. If it is, it sends a designation message to the first MUG, which reroutes the unicast host request to the designated MUG. If a designated MUG is identified, then the designated MUG acts as the multicast-unicast gateway for the unicast host. Otherwise, a default MUG acts as the gateway. This more efficiently uses network resources in managing the exchange of information between multicast and unicast hosts.

    摘要: In a multimedia presentation transmitted by streaming media, advertising/announcements are dynamically inserted into the stream in response to a realization of conditions preselected by the source of the advertising/announcements. In a particular embodiment providers of the streaming media content define metadata for the programming. Advertising/announcement sources define metadata for their ads to be presented. The requirements of both metadata files are compared to both program data and ad data to specify conditions that determine when an Advertisement/announcement is inserted into a media stream.

    摘要: A hybrid fiber/coaxial cable is attached to an autonomous controller which includes a wireless receiver, transmitter, and antenna. Typically, the autonomous controller is connected near the end of the cable which is remote from the headend. At least one other hybrid fiber/coaxial cable connected to the same headend or distribution hub, provides connectivity for cable data modems and set top boxes in an adjacent neighborhood or community. The second cable is attached to its own, respective autonomous controller which also has a wireless receiver, transmitter, and antenna. The two antennas in the adjacent neighborhoods constitute an antenna cluster. When the first cable's connection to the common headend is interrupted, thereby preventing service to the first neighborhood, its autonomous controller senses the interruption and responds by sending a wireless signal to the controller in the adjacent neighborhood. In response, the two controllers use an antenna cluster protocol (ACP) to set up a wireless communications path through the second cable to the headend. In this manner, service is restored from the headend to the cable data modems and set top boxes in the first neighborhood.

    摘要: The invention provides persistent communication for address routed communication in an environment where the communication session address changes. The invention is appropriate for any address routed communication, and in particular to packet based (e.g., UDP/IP and TCP/IP) communications to mobile cellular units as the units transition or move between supporting cells. The invention provides a technique to store address information and transitory information related to the session to allow continuation of the session at the new address, thereby reducing or eliminating the need to set up the session at the new address. One application is for streaming multi-media sessions. Another application is for internet protocol (IP) telephony. The invention provides embodiments where the techniques are performed within the mobile unit, or performed in combination with a proxy server that is part of the supporting cellular system.
