Abstract:
Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide techniques for locating a service using DNS search techniques. For example, an IP address of a customer's end user device (10, 20, 30) can be used to perform a reverse DNS search from which an entry pointing to a service, e.g., a payment service or a video delivery service, can be obtained. The entry, e.g., a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), can then be used to access or evaluate the identified service.
Abstract:
Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide techniques for facilitating the selection of a billing gateway (120, 504) by an end user device (10, 20, 30) when an end user (10, 20, 30) orders content for the end user device or another device as desired.
Abstract:
A network unit (3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9; 31) for use in a real-time communications network in which streams of data frames are transmitted to a plurality of receivers, said network unit being arranged to receive at least a first part of at least a first stream of data frames transmitted from at least a first content source (1) is described, said unit being characterized in that it comprises At least one buffer (Bl, B2; 33) arranged to store each data frame of a stream of data frames; A transmitting unit (35) arranged to communicate with at least one other network unit to transmit at least one data frame to another network unit; A receiving unit (37) arranged to receive from said other network unit at least one data frame belonging to the stream of data and store said data frame in the at least one buffer.
Abstract:
Unidad de red en la cual las secuencias de tramas de datos son transmitidas a una pluralidad de receptores y que está configurada para recibir a lo menos una primera parte de a lo menos una primera secuencia de tramas de datos transmitidos desde a lo menos una primera fuente de contenido; y sistema de comunicaciones asociado
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of location databases containing position related information, and specifically to a method of providing quick and accurate response to users requesting location dependant data from such database. This speed-up in response is done by storing information that is related to most probable path for travelling users on top of database stack and therefore is easy to find and sent to requesting users.

Abstract:
A proxy node and method for use in an Internet Protocol television peer to peer network. A proxy node includes a receiver for receiving media data on behalf of an end user device. The proxy node further comprises a memory for storing the media data; and a transmitter for sending at least some of the received media data to a further node in the peer to peer network on behalf of the end user device. In this way, further nodes believe that the end user device is sending as much data as it is receiving.
