Abstract: A system for displaying a graphical indication of a proximately located device is disclosed. When a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile telephone) equipped with short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth or wi-fï) as well as conventional long-range communications capabilities comes within range of set top box (e.g., a digital broadcast receiver), the set top box (STB) overlays an icon over the broadcast screen image indicating that a mobile terminal is present that can be used as a back channel to the cable operator. The overlaid icon may be presented in differing colors to indicate various characteristics of the mobile terminal, e.g., a type of the mobile terminal (phone vs. PDA) or a capability of the mobile terminal (e.g., ability to establish a GPRS or other data connection). A user of the STB can then use interactive services offered by the cable operator, and deliver interactive selections and commands to the cable operator via the mobile terminal back channel.

Abstract: A hybrid method for a service provider (10) to transmit decryption information (e.g., algorithms, parameter, keys) to clients (12) in a secure manner and at low cost for use in decrypting broadcast services. The service provider (10) uses a bi-directional channel (14) (e.g., a GPRS channel) to receive service requests, authenticate clients and transmit currently valid decryption information (and, optionally, future decryption information) necessary to decrypt a broadcast service. The service provider (10) transmits the encrypted service on a unidirectional channel (16) (e.g., a DVB-T channel). The service provider (10) preferably also changes the encryption of the service with time, and, as it does, transmits updated decryption information to its clients (12) on the unidirectional channel (16). The updated decryption information is encrypted using the currently valid decryption information and may also include future decryption information and synchronization information.

Abstract: A pay-per-view program access control system which combines a television signal (52) with a telephone control signal (58) to allow a remotely located telephone connection to be coupled to a television receiver via a single wire or transmission line (59). The television signal is combined with the telephone control signal and the combined signals are then separated at a remote location by a splitter (66). Once separated, the television signal (202) and telephone control signal (206) can be used as if they had been transmitted to the remote location separately. The single transmission line also carries one or more pilot tones with or without modulated data to select one of a plurality of transmission signals to couple to the television receiver via a multisswitch.
