Abstract:
The invention relates to a system and method for the selective transmission of data to individuals or groups of viewing locations to thereby allow at selected times at least, the targeting of data which is more focussed or targeted to viewers at said locations. This is achieved by detecting and processing data which is indicative of the interaction of viewers with the receiving apparatus at each location and using this possibly in combination with other data, to assess characteristics of the viewers and then select the data to be transmitted to them.

Abstract:
Various techniques for receiving broadcast at a mobile broadcast receiver are described. In an aspect, the broadcast receiver provides user notification and/or automatically launches an application based on user preferences. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver improves channel switching time by predicting future channel selection based on real-time monitoring of user inputs. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver supports drag-and-drop user interface. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver provides additional information associated with a selected broadcast stream. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver processes a broadcast stream and sends output data to an external device for further processing and/or display. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver simultaneously displays live content and stored content. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver simultaneously receives multiple broadcast streams for displayed on one or more display units. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver collects user statistics and sends the statistics to a network entity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for providing video from a user-selected broadcasting camera, which allow a viewer to select and view video signals captured by a plurality of broadcasting cameras. For this, the present invention receives a first video signal and a second video signal from at least two capturing devices (10a to 10n) for capturing a broadcast content item, provides the first video signal to a user terminal (11a to 11n) connected through a network using the first video signal as a signal for a main broadcast channel, provides identification information about video signals captured by respective capturing devices, receives selection information for any one of the capturing devices from the user terminal based on the identification information, and thereafter provides the second video signal corresponding to the identification information to the user terminal.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing RSS content in a broadcast system. According to one embodiment, a method for providing RSS content in a broadcast system comprises the acts of: periodically retrieving, at a broadcast station (102), RSS content from at least one remote source (110) storing the RSS content; parsing the retrieved RSS content to generate transformed RSS content; formatting the transformed RSS content; and transmitting the formatted transformed RSS content from the broadcast station (102) to a plurality of receivers (106). According to another embodiment, a "user initiated retrieval" method retrieves RSS content from at least one remote source (110) storing the RSS content only in response to a user initiated request.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for acquiring and delivering services to a user device. A user device determines a network address associated with one or more servers providing unicast services. The device is activated and receives an interface for receiving multicast services from a content server. The user device then subscribes to one or more multicast services and receives content.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system for facilitating the selection and downloading of a digital multimedia program based on broadcast information. A single keystroke may trigger a series of events that result in an authorized copy of the desired digital media being saved on a user device. The desired program is wirelessly downloaded in an encrypted format, and after an accounting and billing process transpires, a decryption key is delivered in to the user device in a wireless message. The copy of the desired digital media is then decrypted, and is properly licensed, so that the user may enjoy listening to this media with minimal restrictions.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for delivering specific contents to specific recipients using broadcast networks. The methods include receiving an AV signal of a broadcast program and supplementary content which contains a tag identifying a specific recipient and specific contents. The specific contents are encrypted with a public key associated with the specific recipient. The supplementary content is combined with the AV signal to form a data-augmented signal which is subsequently encoded and modulated with a carrier signal to form a transmit signal for broadcasting to receivers. Each receiver includes a supplementary decoder for extracting the supplementary content, decrypting the specific contents with a private key corresponding to the public key, and providing the decrypted specific contents to the intended recipient.
