| 20100061364 | Home Gateway Device for Providing Multiple Services to Customer Devices - A telecommunication node such as a home gateway and a method of routing data packets received from customer premises devices connected to the node. The node includes an operator-configurable service profile table for storing service profiles and a user-configurable customer devices table for storing the source addresses of the customer premises devices and associations between each source address and at least one of the service profiles. The operator controls service provisioning while the user can freely allocate the customer premises devices to different service profiles and can access a plurality of services from the same device. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100312861 | METHOD, NETWORK, AND NODE FOR DISTRIBUTING ELECTRONIC CONTENT IN A CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - A method, network, and node for distributing content across a plurality of content cache nodes to provide optimal access to the content. Relevant, e.g. popular, content is distributed as close as possible to the user or group of users that have the highest probability of requesting the content. In addition, content is relocated to caching nodes higher in the aggregation network as content become less demanded, e.g. less popular. Portions of the content are distributed in a plurality of content cache nodes, and locations where particular portions of the content are requested by users with greater frequency than other locations are determined. The content portions are then migrated to content cache nodes closer to the locations where the particular portions of the content are requested by users with greater frequency. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110010591 | Method and Apparatus for Providing End User Notification in a UPNP Network - A method of controlling a play-out of media content in a UPnP network from a control point, wherein the media content has been delivered from a media server to a remote rendering device. Upon having establishing a UPnP remote access connection between the control point and the rendering device, the control point invokes a UPnP action at the rendering device, in response to a user interaction. The control point also initiates a subscription of a state variable at the rendering device, and starts a timer, which will indicate the time that has elapsed since the initiation of the subscription. The control point will regard the UPnP action as a successful action in case it recognises a predefined state variable transition, prior to the expiry of the timeout value, ors a failed action, in case no such predefined state variable transition has been recognised upon expiry of the time out value. The result of the UPnP action is provided to the user as a notification. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110119724 | Proxy Functionality - The present invention relates to methods and arrangement for an IPTV Set Top Box to access content from an external domain outside the IPTV service provider's domain, which method is characterized by steps of retrieving and converting required content from the external domain into a format that is accessible via the IPTV Set Top Box. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110179328 | System and Method for Ingesting Media Content in a Peer-to-Peer Network - The invention relates to a method and system hardware for ingesting media content in a peer-to-peer network from a data stream. The data stream is made up of a sequence of packets of media data, and each packet is identified by a sequence identifier. The method includes commencing caching of the data packets from the data stream. A missing data packet is identified using the sequence identifiers of the packets and the size of the missing data packet is determined. A portion of the memory medium is skipped to provide a skipped portion of medium having no data cached therein. The skipped portion has a size corresponding to the determined size of the missing data packet. The missing data packet is then retrieved and inserted into the skipped portion of the memory medium. The system includes an ingestion element configured to receive the content in a data stream, to define blocks of media data that make up the content, to generate metadata associated with each block, the metadata identifying the construction of the block from the data stream, and to transmit the data stream as a multicast stream to other network nodes. The other network nodes include at least one cache element configured to construct at least one of the blocks from the multicast data stream in accordance with the metadata, and to cache the data block. The system also includes a database accessible to network nodes, the database recording a location of each of the cached data blocks in the network. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110208856 | Method for Intermediating Network Operators and Developers - A method for intermediating a plurality of network operators and one or more developers is provided. The method includes the steps of: obtaining, by an obtaining unit, a requirement about a computer program required by each network operator; integrating, by an integration unit, mutually-related requirements among the obtained requirements into one requirement; generating, by a generation unit, information about the necessity for development of a computer program implementing the integrated requirement; and presenting, by a presentation unit, the one or more developers with the integrated requirement and the information about the necessity. | 08-25-2011 |
