摘要： Technologies are disclosed for associating a subscriber's subscription profile established with a local media content delivery network, or MSO, with a remote CPE and/or network gateway device, perhaps for example served by the same MSO. One or more techniques may control the delivery of a subscriber's media content, perhaps for example by a media control device. Techniques may include receiving one or more credentials by the media control device, where the media control device is geographically remote from the subscriber's local media content delivery network. A signal may be sent to a media content delivery network device, where the signal may include information corresponding to the credentials. A configuration may be received for the subscriber's local media content delivery network in response to the signal. The configuration may be installed on the media control device. Media content may be delivered by the media control device.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed herein for enabling multiple users’ digital rights to be applied as needed to access media while those users are present to consume media. In particular, a media guidance application may receive a selection of a media asset and determine that the user equipment device does not allow access to the media asset. In response, the media guidance application may identify all the users consuming content from that user equipment device and retrieve digital rights for each user. The media guidance application may compare the digital rights of each user with digital rights required to access the media asset. The media guidance application may, based on the comparison, identify a set of digital rights (e.g., for another user present) that enable access to the media asset, and use those digital rights to access the media asset for consumption.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for permitting and restricting access to multimedia items based on temporal restrictions associated with certain subscription levels. The subscriptions may be subscriptions to broadcast/satellite television programming and/or Internet-streaming services. The temporal limitations on the subscription may be based on days of the week, time of day, and/or particular types of content that air at certain times. For example, one subscription type may be a weekend-only subscription that permits a user to access certain multimedia items on the weekend but restricts access to those same multimedia items during the week. A machine-learning model that is trained on a user's past viewing history is also disclosed. The system may rely on the machine-learning model to present certain relevant restricted multimedia items to the user that the user can access if the user, e.g., upgrades a subscription and/or remits a one-time fee.

摘要： Systems and methods for automatically obtaining cost-efficient access to a media content collection are provided. A user selection of a media content collection, which consists of a number of media assets, is received. A first price is determined for receiving access to the entire media content collection using a single transaction. For each media asset of the media content collection a set of providers of the media asset are identified, and the lowest price for receiving access to each media asset is determined. The lowest price for receiving access to each media asset of the media content collection is accumulated to determine a second price for receiving access to the media content collection using multiple transactions. The first and the second price are compared, and access to the media content collection is received based on this comparison.

摘要： A program guide system in which an interactive television program guide is implemented at least partially on user television equipment receives program listings data and real-time data such as sports scores, news data, etc. The real-time data may be stored in a database maintained by the program guide, so that the program guide may access the stored real-time data at a later time. Updated program listings information may be provided to the program guide as part of the data stream in which the real-time data is provided. Unique keys may be generated for the program listings data and real-time data associated with each live event. The keys may be compared at the program guide to determine which program listings correspond to which items of real-time data. Different types of real-time data may be assigned different expiration times. When data has expired it may be removed from the database.

摘要： Various arrangements that permit temporary subscription porting are presented. A temporary subscription port request may be submitted by a subscriber. The temporary subscription port request may include an identifier of a visitor television receiver and authentication information for the subscriber. In response to the temporary subscription port request, a first command to a home television receiver may be transmitted that disables viewing a first set of television channels linked with the subscriber's subscription account. In response to the temporary subscription port request, a second command to the visitor television receiver may be transmitted that enables viewing the first set of television channels linked with the subscriber's subscription account.

摘要： A method to identify content within a data stream, comprising: capturing a data stream, analyzing and filtering the data stream by isolating a test stream of the data stream and disabling the other sub-streams, applying the test stream to the application so as to produce an output, applying the output to a comparator, the comparator receiving a reference and determining by the comparator a distance between the application output and the reference, if the distance is below a predefined level, repeating the isolating step with a new test stream selected among the previous test stream, the new test stream being a subset of the previous test stream, if that the distance is above or equal a second predefined level, repeating the isolating step by selecting a different test stream from the data stream not already applied to the application.

摘要： A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for receiving data that indicates programs available to users, wherein the programs include linear television programs, video-on-demand programs, and pay-per-view programs; determining, by the network device, a popularity value for each program; comparing, by the network device, each popularity value with a threshold popularity value; determining, by the network device, whether each popularity value satisfies the threshold popularity value; assigning, by the network device, each program associated with each popularity value that satisfies the threshold popularity value to multicast delivery based on the determining, wherein one or more programs assigned to multicast delivery include one or more of a video-on-demand program or a pay-per-view program; and multicasting each program assigned to multicast delivery.
